Deals: Xiaomi 15 and 15 Ultra prices fall to new low, plus some more affordable offers
The pricing of Xiaomi's 15-series has reached a new low, offering a choice between a relatively compact flagship and an all-out camera phone. We know that many don't consider the Xiaomi 15 to be 'small' with its 6.36' display and 71.2mm width. Still, it's one of the smaller Snapdragon 8 Elite flagships and, unlike say a Galaxy S25, it has triple 50MP cameras on the back. This includes a main with a large 1/1.31' sensor, a 2.6x/60mm telephoto and a 115° ultra-wide. The phone runs on a 5,240mAh battery with fast charging (90W wired, 50W wireless) and gets great battery life. The display is a 12-bit LTPO panel, by the way. The phone launched with Android 15 and will receive 4 OS updates. Xiaomi 15 €300 off Read our review 12/512GB - €800 at Amazon DE The Xiaomi 15 Ultra has a chunky camera island and the hardware there is several steps above the 15. For example, the main has a 1'-type sensor. The tele lens is bumped up to 3x/60mm and there's also a 200MP 4.3x/100mm periscope on board. The battery for the global market isn't that large at 5,410mAh. Here's how the Xiaomi 15 Ultra compares with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Xiaomi 15 Ultra €250 off Read our review 16/512GB - €1,250 at Amazon DE If you don't have the budget for a flagship, the Redmi Note 14 Pro is pretty affordable. It comes with a 200MP camera that does solid 2x in-sensor zoom. There's no dedicated telephoto lens and the ultra-wide module has only an 8MP sensor. The 6.67' 1220p+ 12-bit OLED display with Dolby Vision is great and is paired with a good set of stereo speakers. The 5,110mAh battery is a bit slower to charge than we would have liked and the battery life is good but not amazing. For around the same amount of cash you can have the Nothing Phone (3a) instead – this one does have a telephoto module, a 50MP camera with a 2x/50mm lens. This is in addition to the 50MP main and 8MP ultra wide. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is a bit faster than the Dimensity 7300 Ultra inside the Redmi and the 5,000mAh battery lasts a bit longer. The 6.77" 120Hz OLED display lacks Dolby Vision, though. Also, the phone is rated IP64 compared to IP68. Nothing Phone (3a) €50 off Read our review 8/128GB - €280 at Amazon DE Also in this price range is the Honor 200. It's an older model from 2024, but features an even faster Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip. It has a 50MP tele camera of its own with a 2.5x lens, plus a 50MP 1/1.56' main and a 12MP ultra wide. The display is a 6.7' 120Hz OLED panel and there is a 5,200mAh battery with 100W fast charging inside. Honor 200 €50 off Read our review 12/512GB - €300 at Amazon DE The Motorola Moto G56 ends its pre-order period this Sunday. It pairs an entry-level Dimensity 7060 5G chipset with a 6.72' 120Hz IPS LCD with 1080p+ resolution. The phone is rated IP68/IP69. The camera setup features a 50MP main (a small 1/1.95' sensor) and 8MP ultra-wide, plus a 32MP selfie camera. Both a microSD slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack can be found on board. Motorola Moto G56 8/256GB - €250 at Amazon DE Still on pre-order (until Tuesday) and in a very different category is the new RedMagic 10S Pro. This phone features the overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite with an active cooling fan – it's one of the best-performing phones out there, but the fan doesn't do much. You get a flat, rectangular 6.85' 144Hz OLED display with an under display camera. Also, there are two shoulder triggers that can be mapped into games. The battery is a massive 7,050mAh cell with 80W charging. We may get a commission from qualifying sales.

Deals: Pixel 9 and Poco F7 deals, plus OnePlus 13 and Moto Razr 60 Ultra discounts
This week's deals focus on Pixel and Poco phones, but for those looking at flagship devices, we also have a OnePlus and a Motorola offer. The Google Pixel 9 is paired with an Acer Chromebook 314. It's kind of a free laptop – the combo costs €50 more than just the 128GB phone, but if you go for the 256GB model (and you probably should), then the laptop does come free. The Acer Chromebook 14 is nothing incredible, mind you, it has a 14' 1080p display, an Intel Celeron N4500 with just 4GB of RAM and 128GB SSD. You can pick it up for just €150. Still, it's hard to beat free. Note that neither the RAM nor the storage is upgradable, which is quite limiting. Moving on, the more premium Google Pixel 9 Pro has a solid discount of €350. Unfortunately, higher capacity options are out of stock at the time of writing (but you can keep an eye on it). Here's how the Pixel 9 Pro compares with the vanilla 9. Google Pixel 9 Pro €350 Read our review 16/128GB - €750 at Amazon DE The Google Pixel 9a is the current mid-range option. Due to how the discounts work out, getting the 256GB variant is a no-brainer – it's only €10 more than the 128GB one. For a cheaper alternative, there is the Google Pixel 8a, but that is saddled with the Tensor G3 – the G4 chip in the 9a has significantly reduced standby power draw. Google Pixel 8a €170 off Read our review 8/128GB - €380 at Amazon DE Looking at flagship models, the OnePlus 13 is under €1,000. The upgrade to 16/512GB is only €38 over the base 12/256GB model, which also seems like an easy decision. You don't need to pay €900+ to get a Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered phone, though. The Poco F7 Ultra has that and is under €700. The screen is smaller (6.67' vs. 6.82') and isn't an LTPO panel, but it still has 1440p+ resolution. The phone has an aluminum frame with an IP68 rating and a 5,300mAh battery (vs. 6,000mAh on the OnePlus). The cameras aren't as good with a 50MP main (1/1.55' vs. 1/1.43'), 50MP telephoto (2.5x/60mm vs. 3x 73mm) and 32MP ultra-wide (vs. 50MP). Check out our review for details on the camera. You can go even cheaper with the Poco F7 Pro. That one drops back to the older Snapdragon 8 Elite, but has the same screen and IP68-rated aluminum frame. The 50MP main camera is the same, but the ultra-wide only has an 8MP sensor and there is no telephoto. The battery is bigger at 6,000mAh, the same size as the OnePlus, though with 90W wired-only charging. Check out our Poco F7 Pro vs. F7 Ultra article for more details. Another Snapdragon 8 Elite phone is the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra. It's Moto's latest flip foldable flagship and is still pretty pricey, even with the current €150 discount. It has a 6' 1224p+ internal display and a 4' cover display (both LTPO), a 50MP main camera (1/1.56') and 50MP ultra-wide. It's powered by a 4,700mAh battery with 68W wired and 30W wireless charging. The Razr 60 is the first generation of Moto foldables to have ingress protection with an IP48 rating. Let's wrap up with a pair of Poco mid-rangers. The Poco X7 has a great display for the price, a 6.67' 12-bit panel with Dolby Vision and 3,000 nits peak brightness. The Dimensity 7300 Ultra can be found on cheaper phones, but it's fast enough. You also get a 50MP main camera (1/1.95') and 8MP ultra-wide and a 5,110mAh battery. The Poco X7 Pro is a €50 upgrade (looking at the base models) and that gets you the faster Dimensity 8400 Ultra chip and a larger 6,000mAh Si/C battery with double the charge rate at 90W. Both phones are rated IP69. We may get a commission from qualifying sales.

Deals: Galaxy lineup is up to 33% off, including big discounts for the Galaxy S25 series
Amazon has discounts of up to 33% on most of the Samsung Galaxy lineup, ranging from the flagship S25 Ultra down to the entry-level A26. The announcement of the S25 Edge caused deals on the other S25 models to dry up temporarily, but now they are back. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is €420 off if you go for the 512GB variant. The Samsung Galaxy S25+ is under €1,000, even for the 512GB model, while last week even the 256GB one was over €1,100. That opens quite a gap to the S25 Edge, which is €1,250 (with a free storage upgrade to 512GB). Even the Ultra is cheaper than the Edge! The vanilla Samsung Galaxy S25 has dipped under the €700 mark – this is for the 256GB variant. Due to how the discounts work out, the 128GB variant actually ends up being more expensive, so we didn't bother including it here. Samsung Galaxy S25 €290 off Read our review 12/256GB - €670 at Amazon DE For the mid-range, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is pretty cheap if you settle for the 128GB model. Having to pay over €90 for just 128GB extra hurts – that said, it may be the wise choice in the long run. This phone will receive OS updates for 6 more years and Android versions tend to get bigger, not smaller. The Samsung Galaxy A56 offers a pretty cheap upgrade to 256GB, making it a no-brainer over the 128GB A56. However, you still may want to go for the S24 FE – its Exynos 2400e is 70-80% faster (sometimes more) than the Exynos 1580 inside the A-phone. And you lose the 8MP 3x/75mm telephoto camera. The A56 has faster charging (45W wired only vs. 25W wired and 15W wireless) and it trades blows with the S24 FE when it comes to endurance (it's better at browsing, not as good at gaming). There's also the Samsung Galaxy A36, but the value-for-money is not so good – you lose even more performance, the camera also takes a hit and the A36 has a plastic frame instead of an aluminum one. Check out the Galaxy A36 vs. A56 head-to-head comparison for more details. Finally, the Samsung Galaxy A26 price has been slashed by a third. The phone has a lot of similarities with the Galaxy A36 – detailed comparison here – but it also loses out on a lot of upgrades. Still, the A36 costs €75 more, which is quite a bit in the €200-€300 segment, so check out our comparison article to help you make up your mind.

Deals: OnePlus 13 and vivo X200 discounts, Pixel 9a bundle, Realme GT 6 is back
About a month ago, the OnePlus 13 was selling for €1,050 if you wanted the 16/512GB variant. Now that model is €100 cheaper (but the base 12/256GB model stays at its old price of €900). The vivo X200 challenges the OnePlus – triple 50MP camera vs. triple 50MP camera, Zeiss vs. Hasselblad. This one is a bit smaller (just a bit) with a 6.67' non-LTPO display, compared to the 6.82' LTPO panel on the OnePlus (1260p+ vs. 1440p+ resolution). The chipset is another difference – Dimensity 9400 vs. Snapdragon 8 Elite. The battery on the vivo is almost as big (5,800mAh vs. 6,000mAh), but it only supports wired charging (90W vs. 100W wired and 50W wireless on the OnePlus). vivo X200 €50 off Read our review 12/256GB - €800 at Amazon DE We're starting to see the first Google Pixel 9a deals. The base 8/128GB version can be had with a small discount and a free pair of Pixel Buds A-series. A 256GB variant is available too, but with no discount at the moment. The Realme GT 6 offers Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 power for a mid-€300 price. This variant has only 8GB of RAM, though and getting 4GB more costs €60. Still, we're looking at a 6.78' 120Hz LTPO display (10-bit, Dolby Vision, 1264p+) and a 5,500mAh battery with 120W wired-only charging. The cameras include a 50MP main (1/1.4', OIS), 50MP 2x (47mm) telephoto and an 8MP ultra-wide. This phone came with Android 14 out of the box and will receive a total of 3 OS updates. The Poco F7 Pro costs €90 more for the comparable 12/256GB model. This one has the full-fat Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Its display is smaller and sharper (6.67' 1440p+) with more colors (12-bit, Dolby Vision), but it is not an LTPO panel and its peak brightness is lower (3,200 nits vs. 6,000 nits). The battery is bigger, though, at 6,000mAh (90W wired-only charging). The Poco has better water resistance too (IP68 vs. IP65). This phone is lacking in the camera department a bit with a 50MP main (1/1.55', OIS) and an 8MP ultra-wide, no telephoto. The Poco X7 Pro (12/256GB) is €70 cheaper than the equivalent Realme GT 6, however, its Dimensity 8400 Ultra beats the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the Realme (but not the 8 Gen 3 in the F7 Pro). The X7 Pro has a similar display (note: 1220p+ resolution) and battery, but the camera is even more basic with a smaller 1/1.95' sensor in the main. A reminder from last week, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is now available – well, officially it launches on Monday, but shipping is going to take a couple of days either way. Make sure to compare it with the Redmi. It has a 50MP main camera (1/1.57') without OIS, but it doesn't rely on it for zooming – it has a 50MP 2x (50mm) module for that. Plus an 8MP ultra-wide. The Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset is a bit slower than the Snapdragon and the 6.77' 10-bit 120Hz OLED display is a bit larger, but down on resolution and HDR features. CMF Phone 2 Pro free CMF Buds 2 Read our review 8/128GB - €250 at Amazon DE The original CMF Phone 1 is still around, by the way. It has essentially the same chipset as the Pro, but it misses out on the tele camera – it doesn't even have an ultra-wide. Also, the 6.67' display is smaller, lacks HDR and its peak brightness is lower (2,000 nits vs. 3,000 nits). CMF Phone 1 €60 off Read our review 8/128GB - €180 at Amazon DE The Realme 14 Pro+ is a solid €150 off, but that still makes it €130 more expensive than the CMF Phone 2 Pro. Its Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is a bit faster and its 6.83' display is a bit sharper (1272p+ vs. 1080p+ resolution). It has high-end water resistance with an IP69 rating compared to just IP54 on the CMF. And it has a 50+50+8MP camera setup on the back, except its main has OIS and its telephoto has a longer 73mm 3x lens (vs. 50mm 2x), which should make it more useful. The battery is larger and faster to charge too with 6,000mAh capacity and 80W wired-charging.
