Deals: Pixel 9 series get discounts, Galaxy Z foldables still on pre-order
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is super thin, possibly the thinnest horizontal foldable. It has DeX multitasking on large 6.5' cover and 8.0' inner displays with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The phone is equipped with a 200MP main camera (plus 10MP 3x tele and 12MP ultra-wide). The 4,400mAh battery is small and slow to charge (25W/15W) and the S Pen is no longer supported.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is also slimmer than its predecessor but also brings a battery upgrade to 4,300mAh – that's almost as much as the Z Fold7. However, charging is slow at 25W/15W. The new model has larger cover (4.1') and main (6.9') displays but the same old cameras (with HDR videos being the key upgrade). All Z Flip7s sold globally are powered by the new Exynos 2500. New this year is DeX support.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is £200 less than the premium Flip. However, you sacrifice performance (old Exynos 2400 chipset), battery (4,000mAh) and display size (3.4' cover, 6.7' main), not to mention that it is thicker (14.9mm folded, 6.9mm unfolded vs. 13.7mm, 6.5mm).
The Z Flip7 FE is essentially 2024 hardware – so why not look at other old clamshell foldables? Like the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra, for example. This has bigger displays (4.0' and 6.9'), a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and a 50+50MP camera with a 2x telephoto lens.
Moving on to Google's phones, the 9-series is around £300 off at the moment. This brings the Google Pixel 9 Pro under £1,000, even if you are looking at the 512GB model. And you may have to as 128GB is too small and 256GB is out of stock.
The Google Pixel 9 Pro offers much the same hardware in a smaller package – 6.3' vs. 6.8' display and 4,700mAh vs. 5,060mAh battery. Check out our detailed comparison for a closer look.
The Google Pixel 9 is the same size as the Pro and features the same Tensor G4 chipset. It has two of the same cameras too, the 50MP 1/1.31' main and 48MP ultra-wide, but lacks a telephoto module. Head over to our Pixel 9 vs. 9 Pro article for more details.
The Google Pixel 9a only has a small discount, so there isn't much separating it from the Pixel 9 in terms of price, especially if you look at the 256GB models. Here's the Pixel 9 vs. 9a head-to-head comparison for a closer look.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE doesn't have the biggest discount either, but it does come with a free Galaxy Watch7. With a price close to the Pixel 9a, this one has the better chipset (Exynos 2400e), a dedicated telephoto camera (10MP 3x/75mm) and a bigger 6.7' display.
The Nothing Phone (3) has a love-it-or-hate-it design. Its 6.67' 1260p+ OLED display is an LTPS panel and is hooked up to a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. There are four 50MP cameras on board – 1/1.3' main, 1/2.75' 3x periscope and 114° ultra-wide on the back, plus a 1/2.76' selfie camera. The battery in the global model is 5,150mAh with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging. The Phone (3) comes with a free pair of Nothing Ear TWS buds.
It could have been paired with something like the new Nothing Headphone (1) over-ears, for example. But if you want those, you will have to pay the full £300 price. Nothing Headphone (1) Read our review

Canalys: Huawei is back as number 1 in China in Q2 of 2025 Comments
M Not gonna happen in the global scene. Even Huawei has forgotten to give their global rom users significant OS updates. New EMUI phones only get security updates. EMUI is dead but they still keep using EMUI for new devices outside China despite lack of new software features on par with the competition. Global EMUI still has no AI features. The Pura 70 series still don't have these. I wonder if the global Pura 80 series have AI features. ? Juan, 8 hours ago This shows that Chinese consumers care more about camera capabilities than processing power. it's not just China. Most of us use our camera more than we use the top speed of our phones. unless you play graphic intensive games, you really don't need that much processing power for every day use. ? SmgUk, 6 hours ago And yet completely irrelevant in the rest of the world haha 😂 It's as if some politicians, who think they own the world, have something to do with it. Now we're stuck with a duopoly whose main innovations are just increasing camera mo, 45W fast charging and installing themes for the first time lmao. Next "innovation" will be using AI to calculate how much time left before battery gets fully charged. 🤣 L Anonymous, 5 hours ago Samsung can't compete against those Ultra Titans in China.

SmgUk, 6 hours ago And yet completely irrelevant in the rest of the world haha 😂 How is that a good thing? All the innovation stays in China with Huawei now that the US got scared of them and sanctioned them. They are only "irrelevant" because they were too relevant to begin with, which they still would be, it's not their fault that they aren't anymore. v China continues on the same path, it's only a matter of time before Android is completely banned ? Un-disputed, 11 hours ago Where's Samsung? 😂 Don't they sell Samsung phones in China? Samsung can't compete against those Ultra Titans in China. Camera, battery and charging speed are the most important daily usage. S And yet completely irrelevant in the rest of the world haha 😂 C Un-disputed, 11 hours ago Where's Samsung? 😂 Don't they sell Samsung phones in China? Well somewhere in end of top 10. C Would be happy if Apple wont be even in top 20 but whathewer. Well done Huawei. Hope they will be number 1 in world just as decade ago. Un-disputed, 11 hours ago Where's Samsung? 😂 Don't they sell Samsung phones in China? Nowhere, places where real competition actually exists, there is no need for Samsung.

OnePlus is not gonna deal with suppliers, Oppo does. This is the only way some brands can undercut price of other. Small brands can't negotiate better deals like brands that buy huge amounts of components. ? Jemek, 11 hours ago I'm actually curious why the Chinese don't prefer Vivo or Oppo.

Huawei's camera is/have been especially good, generally better than oppo & vivo. 2. Good service, strong marketing I don't live in china so I can't affirm this, but it is said that you can get better after sales service & other benefits there. 3. Harmony OS Many people nowadays (not just china nationals, but also people from other countries) who don't like google and want the alternatives (just like many people prefer to use linux than windows). s this is real ly good news and with this oppo will be releasing its rumoured 10x optical zoom sooner & and the others like vivo and xiaomi will be pushed to innovate at a fast er pace and in 2-3 years time when huawei s able 2 independently manufacture its own kirin chip set will be able to sell its phones at an even lower price and we ll be enjoying all in around year 2027 / 2028 and lets jist wish all well ! L Oppo and Oneplus make by far the best phones in China. It's weird how much of a hold Huawei has over the populace. I suspect it's because it stands to replace google with the OS of choice.

Can you name any OPPO and VIVO phones that were rebranded. I don't think there ever has been. They're also not sharing the same technology. Different charging protocols.

Moto G06 is coming, here's the price
Motorola's Moto G series has always been quite expansive, but recently it feels like it's grown even more than ever. And it will continue to - according to a new leak, the Moto G06 is coming, even though its predecessor has only been on the market for a few months. As the name implies, this should be a barebones entry-level model, and today a European retailer listing has revealed its ballpark pricing. According to this, the Moto G06 with 64GB of storage will go for €122.90 in the Eurozone, while if you opt for 256GB of storage it will cost you €169.90. It's weird that there's no 128GB option, but perhaps that's just an issue with this listing and it will be offered as well. If so, expect its price to fall in between the aforementioned values. All the storage variants come with 4GB of RAM, by the way. The Moto G06 will be available in three colorways, it seems, based on this particular listing, and their names are Tapestry, Arabesque, and Tendril. These sound like Pantone-certified colors, and that wouldn't be surprising given Motorola's long-standing partnership with Pantone. Unfortunately, no actual specs for the G06 have been outed right now. For reference, note that the Moto G05 has a 6.67-inch 720x1604 LCD screen with 90 Hz refresh rate, the MediaTek Helio G81 Extreme SoC at the helm, a 50 MP rear camera, an 8 MP selfie camera, and a 5,200 mAh battery with support for 18W wired charging. So the G06 should be higher-end than that somehow. We'll let you know when we find out more about it. Motorola Moto G05 Source (in Italian) | Via
