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.
