The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 is down to EUR1,430 for the base 12/256GB system. The upgrade to 512GB storage is rather costly at the minute in spite of a relatively good discount rate on it. As a suggestion, the 256GB iPhone Duo will begin at EUR2,300 and Apple gadgets aren’t as quick with the cost cuts. We have not checked the Duo yet, however here’s a summary of how it compares versus the Z Fold8.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is a 3rd off. With both Google and now Apple concentrating on horizontal foldables, there aren’t lots of turns even in Europe(the Chinese makers are quite lukewarm on turns too). Compared to its predecessor, the 2026 Flip brings a brand-new chipset(Exynos 2600 vs. 2500), however very little else. It has a Si/C battery, however it has the exact same capability as in the past, 4,300 mAh, and is ranked at the very same 25W charging. Main numbers aside, in our evaluation we discovered that the brand-new design lasts longer on a charge and after that charges much faster. Samsung didn’t do much to repair the thermal throttling.

The Google Pixel 11 series has discount rates varying from EUR100 to EUR180. We begin with the base design, the Pixel 11, which shares a great deal of resemblances with the 11 Pro. The Pro design has a number of essential benefits to validate its greater cost– our Pixel 11 vs. Pixel 11 Pro post goes into information to assist you choose which design is much better worth for cash.

The Pixel 11 Pro enhances on the 10 Pro from in 2015, however there are no enormous upgrades. Even the Tensor G6 ended up being underwhelming. For a comprehensive take a look at what’s brand-new and what’s really much better, head over to our Pixel 10 Pro vs. Pixel 11 Pro post.

The Pixel 11 Pro XL is what its name recommends– a 6.8″variation of the 11 Pro(which has a 6.3″screen). This includes a larger battery too, which did lead to an Active Use Score that is an hour over the 11 Pro rating. The battery life enhancement compared to last year’s 10 Pro XL is quite substantial.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold has a comparable discount rate to its brother or sisters, however its high base rate inconveniences to suggest. The Z Fold8 Ultra is less expensive, thinner(8.9 mm vs. 10.1 mm), lighter( 215g vs. 239g), it has a much better chipset (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 vs. Tensor G6)and a larger battery. We have not evaluated the cams on the Pixel yet, however here’s the Galaxy vs. Pixel hardware contrast– 200MP 1/1.3 “primary on the Galaxy and 48MP 1/1.56” on the Pixel, 10MP 3x/67mm vs. 10.8 MP 5x/112mm and 50MP 120 ° vs. 10.5 MP 127 °.

Recently’s survey had to do with the Redmi Note 17 series– you informed us both in the survey and because week’s offer post that you’re not impressed with the worth for cash that those phones use. And we concur– however we’ll watch out for significant cost cuts.

Phones like the Poco X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max deal much better offers. They have 6.59″ and 6.83″ display screens, respectively. They likewise have 6,500 mAh and 8,500 mAh batteries (both with 100W quick charging). Limit has the much better chipset (Dimensity 9500s vs. 8500 Ultra), however their video cameras are mostly the exact same. For the benefits and drawbacks of each design, have a look at our Poco X8 Pro vs. Poco X8 Pro Max post.

Compared to the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, the Poco X8 Pro Max has the much better chipset(the Redmi is geared up with just a Snapdragon 6 Gen 5). The electronic cameras are the exact same and the battery is just somewhat smaller sized– 8,500 mAh for the Poco and 9,210 mAh for the Redmi (both with 100W charging). The Redmi is 0.4 mm thicker and 11g much heavier in some way, in spite of having primarily the very same hardware and the exact same water resistance (IP69K).

We were just recently advised that the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE exists– and right away after inspecting its cost, we ignored it once again. EUR800 for a phone with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is a no-go.

You might get the Galaxy S25 FE for a lot less– Samsung didn’t alter much, so you’re mainly spending for the more recent chipset. That more recent chipset does enhance effectiveness, so battery life is significantly longer (14:49 h Active Use Score vs. 11:57 h). The S26 FE is much better, however it’s definitely not EUR300 much better.

We might get a commission from certifying sales.
