Google Pixel 7 has been slashed to $450. It’s not the best product out there with a 90Hz display, telephoto camera and 20W charging, but it’s surprisingly cheap for current flagships. can be obtained.
For about the same price, you can instead get the OnePlus 10 Pro with a QHD+ 120Hz LTPO display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, 3.3x telephoto camera, 65W wired and 50W wireless charging.
Or how about the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G instead? can only charge at 15W.
Next are some Apple tablets. Last year’s iPad Air uses the Apple M1 chip found in some iPad Pros and older Macs. It has a 10.9-inch display (60Hz, unlike the Pro Slate) that supports the 2nd generation Apple Pencil.
The 2022 base iPad is cheap, but the Apple A14 chipset isn’t all that powerful. Its 10.9-inch display is the same as the Air, except it uses the older 1st Gen Pencil.
There will also be an iPad in 2021, but it will be significantly cheaper and with the A13 chip, it will be less powerful.
Finally, the Samsung Odyssey G65B for gamers is a curved 27-inch monitor with QHD resolution and up to 240Hz refresh rate (1ms gray-to-gray response time).

The Google Pixel 7 Pro drops to £685 for a unit with 128GB storage. Alternatively, you can buy a smaller Pixel 7 with double the storage (256 GB) for £600. Note that both phones are offered at a trade-in value of £125. This is an amount that is added to the value of the old phone, so even a cheap old phone could drop the price of his Pixel significantly.
There’s also a Pixel 6a under £300, but no trade-in. You can get a Pixel Watch (LTE) instead for the same amount of cash.
The Nokia X30 and Nokia G60 come with what HMD calls the “3-3-3 promise”: three OS updates, three years of security patches, and a three-year warranty. The two phones launched with Android 12 last year, so one of those updates will be spent catching up. Still, it’s nice to know that we’ll be fully covered through 2025.
Samsung offers a “gadget case” for the Galaxy S23 series. It’s so called because it has mounting points on the back that allow you to secure various gadgets like camera grips and slim tripods with a simple twist. The case itself comes with a simple kickstand gadget.

The Pixel 6a is €333 on the Google online store. However, for the same price, you can get it bundled with a Chromecast TV. This is the 1080p version, so it won’t connect to a large TV, but it can breathe new life into an old set.The Chromecast TV alone is worth around €40.
There’s also the cheaper Samsung Galaxy A33 5G, which isn’t quite as good as a new A34, but is 30% cheaper.
Netherlands
Amazon’s Dutch branch is trading iPhone 14 series models that are very similar to the German model. The iPhone 14 Pro is €50 more expensive, so scroll up to check out the German offer. Shipping should be cheaper than that. The Pro, Plus, and Vanilla deals are basically the same, so you can get them from your local branch.
Other interesting offers include the €540 OnePlus 10T, not bad for a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 phone. It also has a 6.7-inch 120Hz display (only FHD+ and no LTPO for him) and a 4,800mAh battery for him with 150W ultra-fast charging. The camera isn’t anything special, but this is a great gaming phone (it doesn’t have the “gaming phone” look).
The Nokia X30 comes with what HMD calls the “3-3-3 promise”: three OS updates, three years of security patches, and a three-year warranty. It was released with Android 12 last year, so one of those updates will be spent catching up. Still, it’s nice to know that we’ll be fully covered through 2025.
But why not spend a lot of money and get a Sony Xperia 10 IV instead? It uses the same Snapdragon 695 chipset and the display only runs at 60Hz (90Hz for Nokia) but 10 Bit HDR panel. It also has nice features like a microSD slot and his 3.5 mm headphone jack.
India
The Galaxy A54 and A34 started shipping in India this week. It’s too early to talk about discounts, but Amazon offers trade-in deals that can take up to Rs 25,000 off the price.

There’s also the OnePlus 10R, which costs a lot less at Rs 32,000, but it also lacks features due to the lack of a 6.7-inch 120Hz FHD+ display (non-LTPO), Dimensity 8100-Max chipset and telephoto camera. The 5,000mAh battery matches the Pro with 80W wired charging, but there’s no wireless option.
Prices for Samsung’s last-gen S-series flagships have dropped significantly. The Galaxy S22, in particular, has gone down to Rs 53,000, making it a bit cheaper than OnePlus. India got a Snapdragon-esque phone last year. and not to mention four OS updates (there was one already).
The S22 Ultra costs more than twice as much as a regular phone and is not worth it. If you’re paying that much, your new boyfriend might be better off getting the S23 Ultra instead.
This is a unique looking phone, the Tecno Camon 19 Pro Mondrian. It is so called because the rear design was inspired by a famous abstract painter. It’s also interesting that Tecno used paint that reacts to light. The colors fade quite a bit in the dark, but come to life when the sun hits them.
As for the phone itself, it offers a large 6.8-inch FHD+ 120Hz LCD and a large 5,000mAh battery with 33W wired-only charging.

It is equipped with a camera.

No HD+ display (but 90Hz) and 10W charging, ultra-wide camera and telephoto lens.

The Amazfit GTR Mini was announced a few days ago. This is his 42mm watch, much cheaper than the 46mm GTR 4 (Rs 11,000 vs Rs 17,000) but with many of the same cool features.
