The Fold8 Lands at Vijay Sales: Pre-Order Math + 17 Deals Worth It

The Galaxy Z Fold8 runs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 behind a 4,800mAh cell, and Vijay Sales lists the 12GB/256GB Flex Titanium Graphite variant at Rs. 1,79,999 with MRP identical to price — 0% off, exactly as a pre-book should read. The button on the page is Pre-book Now and the amount it takes today is Rs. 999; the balance is due when the phone ships. Worth noting for anyone who read our July edition: the pre-book desk has since moved to the 256GB variant and the price on the page has changed with it, which is the normal shape of a launch listing settling down. The only lever on this SKU is the card wall, and it is smaller than launch-week marketing suggests — 10% up to Rs. 1,000 on ICICI or Kotak credit cards, on carts above Rs. 10,000.

The Fold8 Ultra is the statement piece of the trio — the Fold8's frame with Ultra camera hardware and a 5,000mAh cell, in Flex Titanium Cream. Vijay Sales prices the 12GB/256GB at Rs. 1,99,999, again with MRP set equal to price, so nothing on this listing is discounted. Foldable flagships historically hold their launch price for months, which makes the pre-book question a simple one: you are paying for delivery position, not for savings. If you want the Ultra on day one, the Rs. 999 booking is the mechanism. If you are shopping on price, this is the single worst SKU in the store to buy this week, and we would rather say so than dress a launch listing up as a deal.

The Flip8 pairs Samsung's Exynos 2600 with a 4,300mAh battery in the Flip Shot Cream finish, and Vijay Sales lists 12GB/256GB at Rs. 1,44,999 on the same Rs. 999 pre-book footing as its siblings. One detail from today's sweep worth knowing before you configure: the 512GB variant is listed at the same Rs. 1,44,999 as the 256GB, so if both are in stock when your booking converts, the larger one is the obvious pick. Against the Fold8 above, the Flip saves you Rs. 35,000 and gives up the tablet-sized inner screen — for most buyers who want a folding phone rather than a folding computer, that is the right trade.

The LOQ 15IRX9 (83DV01JXIN) pairs a 13th-gen Core i5 with 16GB, a 512GB SSD and a 6GB RTX 3050 on a 15.6-inch FHD panel — a 1080p gaming machine rather than a 1440p one, and priced accordingly at Rs. 1,22,999. The 47% badge deserves a caveat we would rather state than hide: it is computed against a Rs. 2,30,290 MRP that is far above anything this configuration has realistically sold for, so read the price, not the percentage. On the price alone it is still the most machine per rupee on the laptop grid today, and if you saw an RTX 4050 attached to this model in our July edition, that was our error — the listing says 3050, and the listing is what ships.

The Victus 15-fa2197TX runs the i5-13420H with 16GB, a 512GB SSD and the same 6GB RTX 3050 as the Lenovo above, at Rs. 90,999 against a Rs. 1,54,920 MRP. That is Rs. 32,000 less than the LOQ for broadly the same silicon, which makes the comparison between them mostly a question of chassis, cooling and warranty rather than frame rates. For esports titles at 1080p and for a first gaming rig that also has to do coursework, this is the sensible end of the shelf.

The IdeaPad Slim 3 15IPH11 (83UR009KIN) brings Intel's Core Ultra 5 platform to a slim 15.3-inch WUXGA build with 16GB and a 512GB SSD, on integrated graphics. No discrete GPU means no gaming, and also no fan noise, no thermal throttle on battery and a machine you can actually carry — the correct trade for work, code and long meetings. The 44% gap to MRP flatters it more than it should; at Rs. 1,10,999 it is priced roughly where a current-generation Ultra 5 ultrabook belongs, which is compliment enough.

This Victus configuration (15-fa2508TX) puts 24GB of RAM and a 6GB RTX 4050 behind a Core 5 processor — and the RAM is the quiet headline, because Premiere, Lightroom and forty browser tabs coexist without the swap-file stutter that 16GB machines develop after a year. It is also the only RTX 4050 in this list; the two cheaper gaming laptops above are 3050 machines. Since our July edition the price has come down from Rs. 1,15,999 to Rs. 1,12,999, which nudges the badge from 33% to 35% off the Rs. 1,73,698 MRP.

Xiaomi's A Pro QLED (L32MB-APIN) squeezes a quantum-dot panel, Google TV, Dolby Audio and 8GB of storage into a 32-inch HD frame at a price where most brands still sell basic LED. HD, not 4K — at 32 inches from three metres away that distinction stops mattering. This is the bedroom, kitchen and PG-room answer, and at Rs. 14,999 unchanged from our July check, the decision takes less time than the delivery.

TCL's S5K (43S5K) carries the QLED-plus-Google-TV formula up to 43 inches with HDR10, HLG, Dolby Audio and a 60Hz bezel-less panel. TCL makes its own panels, which is the structural reason its pricing undercuts same-spec rivals. Worth noting on the mechanics of buying here: the category grid lists this at Rs. 26,990 while the product page itself reads Rs. 26,490 — the product page is the one that governs, and it is the number we have used throughout this guide for every pick.

The 43NU885BPLA brings genuine 4K, the Alpha 7 AI Gen9 processor, a 60Hz native panel, two years of panel warranty and the pointer-driven Magic Remote — the TV interface that non-technical households actually enjoy using. At Rs. 34,490 it costs about a third more than the TCL above and spends the difference on software polish and service reach. That is Rs. 500 under where we found it in July, against an unchanged Rs. 49,990 MRP.

The BRAVIA 2 (K-55S25M2) is Sony's volume 4K line — the X1 processor's upscaling is the practical Sony advantage, making cable and streaming sources look better than the panel spec alone suggests, with HDR10, HLG, Dolby Atmos and Chromecast built in. The honest update: we listed this at Rs. 63,490 on July 23 and the product page today reads Rs. 70,890 against the same Rs. 91,900 MRP, so the badge has fallen from 31% to 23%. It is still a good 55-inch television; it is no longer the bargain it was six weeks ago, and if you can wait for the festive season, waiting looks like the better play on this one.

The evo AI C6 (OLED55C6XLA) is the television the rest of this list eventually gets upgraded to — self-lit OLED pixels, a 120Hz panel with G-Sync and FreeSync for console and PC gaming, Dolby Vision and Atmos, the Alpha 11 AI Gen3 processor, webOS 26 and three years of warranty. The price has come down from Rs. 1,40,390 in July to Rs. 1,32,990 today, which takes the badge from 36% to 40% off the Rs. 2,19,990 MRP. Among the twenty picks here it is the one where a large discount percentage and a genuinely premium product line up.

The WH-1000XM5 remains the reference for noise cancelling at this price — lighter than the XM4, better call mics, all-day comfort, up to 30 hours of battery. The useful context from today's sweep is one shelf across: Vijay Sales now also lists the newer WH-1000XM6 at Rs. 39,990. That Rs. 11,000 gap is the whole decision. Buy the XM6 if you want the current flagship; buy the XM5 if you want most of that silence for two-thirds of the money, which is what we would do.

The CH720N carries Sony's V1 processor ANC in the lightest frame in its class, with up to 35 hours of playtime — the commuter headphone that disappears on your head. At Rs. 9,299 against a Rs. 14,990 MRP it delivers a large share of the XM5's silencing for under a third of the price, which is the correct trade for most buyers. One buying note: the store carries a near-identical CH720N listing at Rs. 9,499, so check the tag before you tap.

The Tune 770NC is the price-performance outlier of the headphone wall: adaptive noise cancelling, up to 70 hours of playtime, Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio, speed charging, dual pairing and Google Fast Pair, for Rs. 5,699 against a Rs. 9,999 MRP. The cancellation trails Sony's by a clear class; the price trails by three. For a first pair of ANC headphones, or for a pair you will not mourn if they are lost on a train, this is the one.

The CH520 skips noise cancelling entirely and spends its budget on what is audible: balanced tuning, DSEE digital sound enhancement, Fast Pair and up to 50 hours of battery. That trade is the right one at this price, because cheap ANC usually costs more in sound quality than it returns in silence. The daily-commute default for anyone stepping up from budget brands, and unchanged at Rs. 4,199 since our last check.

The Rockerz Prime 415's 120-hour claim is the entire pitch: charge it at the start of the month, forget it until the end. Spatial-audio branding aside, what you get for Rs. 1,999 against a Rs. 3,999 MRP is 40mm drivers, AI-ENx call noise reduction and low-latency mode — a loud, comfortable, hard-to-kill headphone. The backup pair and the teenager's first pair, in one purchase.

The 183INV Vectra Zen (2026 model, new BEE star rating) is the volume air conditioner of Indian homes — full copper, adjustable capacity modes for shoulder seasons, turbo and high-ambient cooling, an anti-dust filter, and a service network that reaches wherever you live. AC prices soften as peak summer demand fades, and this one has held at Rs. 33,990 against a Rs. 60,990 MRP since our July check — the buy-for-next-summer play rather than an emergency purchase.

Daikin discounts reluctantly, which is precisely why this one stands out. The ATKL50XV Premium Series (2026 model) runs quieter and holds a set temperature more tightly than the value brands, with 3D airflow, Dew Clean technology, the patented DNNS coating and power-chill operation. It has come down from Rs. 37,490 to Rs. 36,490 since July, putting it Rs. 2,500 above the Voltas — a small premium for the best repair-and-resale economics in the category.

The HIC 12Y3TH WA (2026 model) covers bedrooms, studies and PG rooms without the oversizing that Indian air-conditioner purchases default to, with a full copper condenser, 5-in-1 convertible modes, i-Sense temperature control, silent operation and a five-year warranty. At Rs. 30,450 against a Rs. 41,600 MRP — unchanged since July — the 27% badge is the smallest in the AC aisle and the one we trust most, because the MRP it is measured against is the most believable of the three.
