Flipkart's Big Bang Diwali Sale has slashed the price of the Nothing Phone 4a to Rs 35,999, down from its usual Rs 49,999. Buyers using a Flipkart Axis Bank credit card can bring the effective price down further to Rs 29,449. The e-commerce platform is also offering no-cost EMI options starting at Rs 5,083 per month and an exchange value of up to Rs 29,975. The device features a 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, 5,400mAh battery and a triple rear camera.

Separately, Times Now has listed other smartphone deals under Rs 30,000 from the same sale. There include the OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite at Rs 29,278, the Nothing Phone (4b) at Rs 29,999, the Realme P4R 5G at Rs 28,999, the Poco M8 Power 5G at Rs 24,499 and the Vivo T5x 5G at Rs 27,249, each with bank discounts and exchange offers. The festive sale comes ahead of Diwali on 8 November 2026.
The two sources report on different aspects of Flipkart's Diwali sale: digit.in leads with the Nothing Phone 4a's price cut to Rs 35,999, while timesnownews.com offers a broader round-up of smartphones under Rs 30,000, including the Nothing Phone (4b) at Rs 29,999. The conflicting model names (Phone 4a vs Phone 4b) and prices reflect distinct inventory or variant coverage, not a dispute over the same device. Digit.in frames the deal as a significant discount on a premium device, while timesnownews.com positions the same festive event as an opportunity for budget-friendly purchases. Neither outlet adopts a government or political stance, staying within consumer technology reporting. The coverage is uniform in its promotional tone, with each site curating deals for different price segments. No next step is named beyond the ongoing sale.
