We have earlier discussed about 'Micromax Yu' (Read Here about Micromax Yu). The handset would be launched tomorrow on 18th December, 2014.
Company has sent media Invites stating : 

 “Since time travel is not an option, block your date for 18.12.2014. Play God” As mentioned above, Cyanogen has teamed up with Micromax in an exclusive tie-up where the former will only support Micromax’s forthcoming YU smartphones. In other words, the company said that it will not support “any other devices shipping to India running on Cyanogen.”

Truth to be told, Micromax is already in a law-war with OnePlus pertaining to the exclusive tie-up of Cyanogen in India. The interesting fact is that the OnePlus One was launched in India through Amazon only. 

Anyways Yu have been extensively promoted and is enjoying a dedicated webpage and a dedicated Facebook page with more than 100,000 likes on it. You can also visit Amazon's exclusive page for it to subscribe. 

Recent tweet from Amazon India stated the launch of the smartphone in the market. 

Are you ready to activate God mode yet? #ComingSoon @ http://t.co/0VHy3kzXsh #AmazonExclusive pic.twitter.com/cifIznwqCd

We must be thinking about this so called 'Play-God' stuff. Actually,as per as the company, you can create you own theme while using the smartphone. So, you will be having a smartphone which will be exactly as you want it. 

A ban on Xiaomi and OnePlus will surely put up a sense of confidence of the customers in Micromax Yu. However, no one can predict the market, as the real God of market is customer itself. 

Best of Luck 'Yu'.

The post Snapdeal and Amazon on Discount Spree again .. but the offers has gone crazy this time appeared first on FreeKaaMaal Blog.

The Flipkart.com has already done with its Big Billion Day sale whereas Snapdeal is all set to offer big discounts for the diwali season BOGO (Buy one get one). The arch rivals, Snapdeals & Amazon are already mocking flipkart’s big billion sale event. Snapdeal while stating “For others its a big day but for us, today is no different”. Amazon too has been running “mission to mars” sales in which it dedicates itself to provide exclusive (as all of them say it) discount offers.

(Click here to visit diwali season sale of snapdeal.com)

All three of them have spent millions of rupees to promote themselves on Diwali which include T.V. ad too.

Its market and it will of course result in war but none-the-less customers are enjoying most in this price war.
The friction of these two retailers are creating sparks of discounts which is indeed good for customers.

So Lets hope for a better diwali.

The e-commerce giant has bought this news just before the series of festival which forthcoming months is carrying which could be in fact the peak of sales of the e-retailers like Amazon. The company invest a lot in logistics and works hards on making the system of delivering the products at the right place in the right time but due to the fake i.d’s and just-for-fun orders, company is not just losing its time but also a lot of money.

The reason for this is the fake orders and malpractices a few customer are associated with. The just-for-fun orders are the one which are the primary reason for this bold step to be taken by Amazon. The problem is not just faced by Amazon but Flipkart, Snapdeal and other big online retailers are also facing the same complexions while delivering for Uttar Pradesh.

Anyways, if you live in U.P. postal code region then you have to say ‘bye’ to expensive online deliveries.

Whats new this time

This time, Microsoft has emphasized and upgraded the graphic experience and performance. Compared to its predecessor, Xbox One will be much more detailed oriented, having a bigger console, a ‘cool’ look, a heavy workout machine dedicated to a sole purpose of gaming with heart and soul. It has introduced a new feature, Kinect, a  which it thought would be the cyclone in the gaming valley. The reviews are not what Microsoft thought would be. Xbox One allows you to talk on skype or watch TV while playing games simultaneously. Well, I do not see any logic behind this.

What will be the price

A far too much features, smooth multitasking, and a broad gaming console. All this is priced at Rs 39,990 (bundled with Kinect) and other version is priced at Rs 45,990 (bundled with Kinect motion detect). You can also avail the exclusive special offer for last day worth Rs 6000 if you order now which comprises of Amazon Gift Card worth Rs 2000, a coupon code for Rs 2000 off on the purchase of 2 Blu-ray Movies and Rs 2000 off on Microsoft Xbox One Controller.

Where can we get it

With an exclusive tie-up with Amazon.com, Microsoft has launched its Xbox One on Amazon.in where people can pre-order their Xbox one and Amazon will start shipping the products from tomorrow onwards.
To order an Xbox One, click here

With Xbox One you will get Xbox One Console, Kinect (In Kinect Bundle only), Xbox One Wireless Controller, Xbox One Chat Headset, High Speed HDMI Cable, 500GB Hard Drive, 2 AA Batteries, Power Supply, and AC Power Cord, with 14 Day Xbox Live Gold Trial Card.

"At current scale and growth rates, India is on track to be our fastest country ever to a billion dollars in gross sales." said Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, after the announcement.

The founders of Flipkart, Sachin and Binny Bansal, IIT Delhi classmates and employees of Amazon before they started their own venture in India in 2007 are now seeing Amazon.in as their biggest competitor in the fast growing & fiercely competitive Indian online market. Investors, like Tiger Global, Naspers, Morgan Stanle, Singapore’s  GIC, Accel Partners, DST Global, had taken part in this round of investment in flipkart and had taken the estimated valuation of the company to $7 billion just one day before Amazon's announcement.

Flipkart is selling products in over 70 categories through 3000 sellers. Amazon, which has more than 9,000 merchants selling products across 28 categories had announced new warehouses in Delhi, Chennai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad just two days ago.

What it means for the other online retailers

Flipkart and Amazon are now way ahead of other online retailers in terms of money which will give them distinct edge in technology, infrastructure required for the business. Snapdeal is the nearest competitor of these two giants and will now be under pressure to step up its game.
According to market experts, small & medium players in the market like Tradus, Infibeam, shopclues & many others may now find it hard to attract investors.

What it means for the Consumers

The winner in this huge battle of E commerce giants jostling for market share will be the Indian consumers.
With Amazon having already started a price war, customers are getting a lot of great deals/offers on products along with better services like single day delivery system, easy returns, etc. And its only going to get better in the future.
