Early access to the Great India Festival sales on Amazon India and Big Billion Days on Flipkart has begun, starting on Thursday. During these sales, numerous offers and discounts are displayed, which raises questions among many users about the authenticity of these deals.
There is a simple way to determine how real or fake the discounts presented on e-commerce platforms are.
Price History Feature on Amazon
A special tool has appeared on Amazon India that allows users to view previous product prices and assess the savings they are getting within the current offers.
Before purchasing an item on the Amazon India portal, you should examine its cost. Next to the product, there is an option called Price History; clicking on it opens a graph.
This graph visually displays what the product's price was previously and how much it has decreased now. Users can analyze data for one month, three months, or even a whole year.
We tested the Price History feature on various devices, including iPhone 17, iPhone 16, iPhone 15, and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, displaying the prices of all phones on the graph to see what the cost was in different months.
The Price History feature is already live on Amazon India, although it is currently only available to a limited number of users, but it will become visible to everyone soon. Using this tool, we found a significant difference between the old product prices and their new prices.
