If you buy a flagship on launch day, you get perks like more memory or freebies, but if you wait, you get discounts instead. And you don’t necessarily need a flagship either, not when premium mid-rangers are this good. Let’s look at both options.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 price has hit a new low – it’s now under €800. This puts it between the vanilla Galaxy S25 and the S25+. The flip foldable offers a new form factor experience, unlike the S-phones, which haven’t changed much in the last few years.
The Z Flip7 has a 4.1” cover and a 6.9” inner display plus a 50+12MP dual camera on the outside (usable with the cover display). It is powered by the Exynos 2500 and a 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging. It does support DeX, including video out via the USB-C 3.2 port.
The Google Pixel 10 series is at least €100 off at the moment, well, just the non-folding members. Additionally, you get a €100 trade-in bonus and Prime Student members can score an additional discount of €50.
We have a detailed comparison article for the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro to help you decide whether the extra cash for the Pro model is worth it. As for the Pixel 10 Pro vs. 10 Pro XL, they are essentially the same phone except for the screen (6.3” vs. 6.8”) and battery (4,870mAh vs. 5,200mAh), so the choice between them depends on your size preference.
The Realme GT 7 is a well-rounded mid-ranger. It has a large 6.78” LTPO display with 1264p+ resolution and an equally large 7,000mAh battery with 120W wired-only charging. The Dimensity 9400e is not on a flagship level, but it’s faster than many of the chipsets in the €500-€600 price bracket – it’s faster than Google’s Tensor G5 too. The 50MP main camera is joined by a 50MP 2x telephoto module and an 8MP ultra-wide (112°), plus a 32MP selfie camera.
While the Nothing Phone (3) design is controversial, the company is sticking with it as evidenced by the launch of the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite. That one isn’t up on Amazon just yet, but the flagship model is and it is up to €155 off. It has a 6.67” 1260p+ OLED display (LTPS) and it runs on a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and a 5,150mAh battery (65W wired and 15W wireless charging). It has a total of four 50MP cameras – three on the back, including a 1/1.3” main, a 3x telephoto and a 114° ultra-wide, plus one on the front.
The Xiaomi 15T has a discount of €200 at the moment, but it’s a short time offer. The phone pairs a Dimensity 8400 Ultra chipset with a 12-bit 6.83” OLED display and a 5,500mAh battery (67W wired-only charging). It also has a pair of 50MP cameras (1/1.55” main, 2x telephoto).
If that offer has timed out, have a look at the Xiaomi 15T Pro – it’s currently €100 off. Compared to the 15T, the Pro has a flagship chipset (Dimensity 9400+), bigger main sensor (1/1.31”) and a longer telephoto lens (a 5x/115mm periscope), plus better charging options for the 5,500mAh battery (90W wired, 50W wireless).
The Poco F7 Pro offer is also on a timer and it drops the price by €140. This phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and features a sharp 6.67” 1440p+ 12-bit OLED display (LTPS). It runs on a 6,000mAh battery. The 50+8MP camera is nothing to write home about.
The vanilla Poco F7 has a small discount with no time constraints. It has a larger 6.83” display and a 6,500mAh battery (90W charging). It is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. Check out our Poco F7 vs. F7 Pro article for a detailed comparison of performance, cameras and other features.
There’s also the Poco F7 Ultra – this one has the same 6.67” 1440p+ 12-bit display as the F7 Pro, but features a proper flagship chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The battery is smaller at 5,300mAh, trading capacity for better charging options – 120W wired and 50W wireless. This phone also stands out in the F7 series with its cameras – it includes a 50MP 2.6x/60mm telephoto and a sharper 32MP 120° ultra-wide to go with the 50MP 1/1.55” main. Here’s the detailed Poco F7 Pro vs. F7 Ultra comparison for a closer look.
