E-commerce websites like Amazon and Flipkart now regularly feature exchange offers for your current smartphone in order to push sales for their exclusive deals with phonemakers.

Apart from their regular and special discounts, offering a special price for selling the old phone to them brings the price of the new smartphone down considerably making the decision-making easier for the consumer. 

Zeebiz has earlier reported on deals given by Flipkart that included up to Rs 10,000 off on purchase of iPhone 7 by exchanging the iPhone 6s Plus.

Higher discounts were offered for much more recently released smartphones like the Google Pixel which would get customers the full discount offered on the iPhone 7 of Rs 15000.
