The OnePlus 15 just experienced its biggest price drop yet – the 512GB model is 23% off. This is a flagship model with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a 6.78” 1272p+ LTPO display and a 7,300mAh Si/C battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. It has a 50MP main (1/1.56”), a 50MP 3.5x/80mm telephoto and a 50MP ultra-wide camera, plus a 32MP selfie.
The OnePlus 15R price drop wasn’t as big, but it’s still significant. This phone is about the same size with a 6.83” display (1272p+, but no LTPO) and a 7,400mAh battery with 80W wired-only charging. Unlike the 13R from last year, this one lacks a telephoto module. Instead, it only has a 50MP main (1/1.56”) and an 8MP ultra-wide.
The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro pre-orders are behind us now. The phone has a 6.83” 1260p+ display (144Hz) and a Glyph Matrix on the back. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset is paired with faster UFS 3.1 storage (faster relative to the (3a) Pro, not in general). It has a 50MP main camera (1/1.56”), 8MP ultra-wide and even a 50MP 3.5x/80mm periscope. The 5,080mAh battery supports 50W wired charging.
The Nothing Phone (4a) is €110 cheaper (looking at 256GB units) and it has the same camera, the same battery and basically the same screen too (6.78”, 1224p+, 120Hz). However, it drops down to a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset (the “s” makes a big difference). It’s only rated IP64, which is even worse than the already basic IP65 rating of the (4a) Pro.
You should consider the Nothing Phone (3) over the (4a) Pro. It’s only €45 more expensive for a 256GB model, but brings a beefier Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and a more capable 5,150mAh battery with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging. The 6.67” display (1260p+, 120Hz) is a bit smaller, but the Glyph Matrix on the back is more advanced.
The Pixel 10 family is on sale with some serious discounts. The Google Pixel 10 is a 6.3” phone with a 4,970mAh battery (30W wired and 15W magnetic wireless charging). It has a 48MP main camera with a small 1/2.0” sensor, a 10.8MP 5x/112mm telephoto and a 13MP ultra-wide camera.
The Pixel 10 Pro is quite a bit pricier, despite having the same chipset, a Tensor G5. What you get is a sharper LTPO display (1280p+ vs. 1080p+) and more capable cameras. This includes a 50MP main with a large 1/1.31” sensor, a 48MP 5x/113mm periscope and a 48MP ultra-wide. Even the selfie camera is better, 42MP vs. 10.5MP.

If you are leaning towards the 10 Pro for its cameras, you can get the same hardware with the Pixel 10 Pro XL. The larger model offers a bigger screen (6.8”) and a bigger battery (5,200mAh). That said, the Active Use score for both is about the same (12:29h vs. 12:06h) and neither is a battery champ.
The Fairphone 6 comes with an iFixit screwdriver to remind you of its key selling point – this phone is designed for at-home repairs. It’s rather pricey for the hardware it offers, but the 18% discount helps in that respect. That and the promise of cheap repairs for years to come.
