Posted: 21 Oct 2019 01:03 PM PDT

India's festival of lights, Diwali, is starting in a few days and it's usually a time of promotions and discounts. Here are the deals that Realme and Huawei have prepared in partnership with Flipkart and Amazon. Many Realme models are INR 1,000 off, but the Realme 3 Pro is INR 3,000 off.
