Amazon has introduced a new membership called “Prime Shopping Edition” in India, just before their Great Indian Festival sale starting on October 8. Here’s what you need to know:
- It’s available for Android users only and costs ₹399 per year.
- It provides benefits like free shipping and one-day deliveries, but does not include Prime Video, music, gaming, or other entertainment services.
- You can access it through the Amazon app or web browsers on Android devices.
- It’s not clear how long this program will last or if it’s limited to the festival.
- This move follows Flipkart’s ‘VIP’ subscription, priced at ₹499 per year.
The reason for Android exclusivity is that most Indians use Android devices, with over 650 million smartphone users in the country, of which 85% are on Android.
