A couple of weeks ago , the Samsung Galaxy S24+ was down to £800 for a 12/256GB model, now that same unit will cost you £50 less. You can also pick up a 512GB phone, but that is a £100 upgrade. The S24+ has a 6.
7" QHD+ LTPO display, an Exynos 2400 chipset and a 4,900mAh battery with 45W/15W charging, plus a 50+10+12MP camera. Samsung Galaxy S24+ The Google Pixel 9 is around the same price, £794 for a 12/256GB unit. The Tensor G4 is well behind the Exynos in terms of performance and the vanilla Pixel doesn’t have an LTPO display, let alone a QHD+ one.
The cameras feature a better 48MP ultra wide (vs. 12MP), but no telephoto, leaving only the 50MP main (1/1.31” sensor vs.
1/1.56”) to do the zooming in, while the Galaxy has a 3x 10MP camera. The 4,700mAh battery is impressive, given the phone’s smaller stature, the 27W/15W charging is not.
Google Pixel 9 Amazon has the new Samsung Galaxy A16 5G at its MSRP, £200. There is a bundle with a “free” Galaxy SmartTag 2 – this bumps the price up, but also unlocks a £40 discount at checkout. With that, the final price is £182, £18 less than just the phone and you get a free tag out of it.
The A16 5G is a solid entry-level device with a 5G modem, a 6.7” FHD+ 90Hz OLED display, a 50+5MP camera and 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging. Note that Samsung is offering 6 years of software support for this model, which is better than some flagships.
Samsung Galaxy A16 5G The CMF Phone 1 will only get 2 OS updates and lacks an ultra wide camera (not even a 5MP module like on the A16), but you do get a 6.67” FHD+ 120Hz OLED display that has more than double the peak brightness (and a punch hole camera instead of a notch). The Dimensity 7300 handily beats the Exynos 1330.
The replaceable back is a fun option if you like to customize the look of your phone. Not bad for a phone that costs as much as the A16 5G. CMF Phone 1 Xiaomi unveiled the 15-series phones, but no Ultra yet.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is currently under £1,000, which doesn’t happen often. Sure, it’s a year old, but can still give the Xiaomi 14 Pro a run for its money. It has a larger 50MP sensor in the main (1” vs.
1/1.31”), a 50MP 75mm telephoto in addition to the 50MP 120mm periscope (the 15 Pro has just the periscope) and the same 50MP ultra wide. Xiaomi 14 Ultra The Motorola Razr 50 is a relatively affordable entry into the flip foldable market, especially now that it is 25% off.
You get a roomy 3.6” display and a 6.9” LTPO 120Hz inner display.
The phone is rated IPX8 for water resistance and comes with a decently-sized 4,200mAh battery with both 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. The cameras aren’t great with a 50MP main (1/1.95”) and 13MP ultra wide, but they rarely are on a flip foldable.
Motorola Razr 50 For £150 more, you can have the Razr 50 Ultra instead, with more RAM and storage to boot (12/512GB vs. 8/256GB). This buys you a better chipset, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 vs.
Dimensity 7300X, a 50MP 2x portrait camera instead of a 13MP ultra wide and a larger 4” cover display. The battery is a bit smaller at 4,000mAh, but has faster 45W wired charging. Motorola Razr 50 Ultra We will wrap things up with the Microsoft Surface Pro – this is the 11th edition and is powered by the Snapdragon X Elite chipset.
It promises up to 14 hours of video playback on a single charge and you will get to watch your movies on the 13” 120Hz OLED display (2,880 x 1,920px, 3:2). There are 2W stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos too. You get two USB-C v4.
0 ports with support for 65W charging and DisplayPort 1.4a. There are optional keyboard covers too, if you plan on editing text with this tablet.
