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.
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.
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.
