You have posted in the wrong forum. You will get much better responses, both qualitatively and quantitatively, if you post in the Dost and Dimers forum.
Coming to your questions, first of all, Phuket is not the right place to buy electronics. Get the electronics from Bangkok (recommend MBK Mall). As for ordering online while in Thailand, that’s not a good idea as you’d need proper tax-paid receipts to claim the tax back while departing Thailand and also for customs. One insider suggestion is to arrive in India via a small airport like Varanasi. Not only will you get a cheaper air fare, but you would also get a quicker and more preferable outcome as far as custom tax is concerned. 
Electronics market in Bangkok is indra bazar. All clone mobiles and tablets of brand like samsung and apple are available. I bought note 3 for 6000 rs last year. Battery and stylus was fake. Rest OK. Check through and bargain hard. Good luck
