Early numbers pointed the same way.

Entry-level [5G phones](https://technosports.co.in/tag/amazon/) held at last year’s prices also drew strong demand, which fits a year when many phone prices have risen.

## What It Tells Us

- **Value hunting:** Shoppers chased deals on big purchases such as appliances and phones.
- **Quick commerce is rising:** Flipkart Minutes tripled and more in order volume on the opening day.
