Amazon has recently started offering great deals on iPhones after a long time. Earlier in February, the iPhone 15 was priced at €790 for the 128GB variant and €950 for the 256GB variant. Currently, these models are priced similarly, but more importantly, discounts are available for the rest of the 15-series as well.
The iPhone 15 Plus offers a large screen for under €1,000, which is €375 less than the Pro Max version. Despite the 6.7” OLED display running at 60Hz, it features the Dynamic Island instead of a notch. Additionally, it comes with a high-resolution main camera (48MP) and USB-C with video output.
While the iPhone 15 Pro still costs above €1,000, the discount makes it more appealing compared to Apple’s original price of €1,200. The Pro models feature 120Hz displays (LTPO panels) and dedicated telephoto cameras, such as the 12MP 3x variant in the Pro version.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is considered Apple’s best option, with features like a 120mm periscope (5x, 12MP sensor) for impressive zoom capabilities. Both the 15 Pro Max and 15 Plus offer excellent battery life, with active use ratings of 16:01h and 16:33h, respectively.
If you require more storage, consider going back a generation to the iPhone 14, which starts at €700. While the jump to 256GB may be costly, it is still cheaper than the iPhone 15 with the same storage capacity.
The iPhone 14 Plus is another affordable option, priced under €1,000 even for the 256GB variant. Note that the 14 series still feature 12MP main cameras, notched displays, and Lightning ports.
For budget-conscious buyers, the iPhone SE from 2022 offers a cost-effective choice. With the traditional iPhone 6-8 design, Home button with TouchID, and chunky bezels, this model is expected to upgrade to an iPhone 14 design later this year, featuring an OLED display and a larger physical footprint.
On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S23 stands out with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, a departure from the usual Exynos chip found in the Galaxy S-series. It is currently discounted by 25%, with the 256GB version costing slightly more but offering great value considering Samsung’s decision to remove the microSD slot.
For those seeking a more affordable option, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, powered by the Exynos 2200, is a cheaper alternative to the Galaxy S23.
Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy S24+ is being offered with a free storage upgrade on Amazon, allowing the 512GB model to be purchased at the price of the 256GB variant. This year’s plus model features a QHD+ display and 12GB of RAM.
For those looking for more budget-friendly options, the Redmi A3 is available at €100, running full Android. Although it has limited 3GB of RAM and 64GB storage, a microSD card can be used for additional storage. The phone features a roomy 6.71” IPS LCD with 90Hz refresh rate but only 720p+ resolution and a long charging time at 10W.
For a slight premium of €30, the Poco C65 offers a significant upgrade with 8GB of RAM, 256GB storage, a more powerful Helio G85 processor, a 50MP main camera, and faster 18W charging. It features a similar 6.74” IPS LCD display with 90Hz refresh rate and 720p+ resolution compared to the Redmi A3.
Looking for a more advanced option, consider the Poco M6 Pro or the Redmi Note 13 (4G) with 4G chipsets (Helio G99 Ultra and Snapdragon 685, respectively). The Poco model offers more storage under €200 and faster 67W charging, while the Redmi Note 13 boasts a superior 108MP camera compared to the 64MP camera of the Poco M6 Pro. Both phones include 3.5mm headphone jacks and microSD slots.
For those with phones featuring a microSD slot, a 512GB Samsung EVO Select card is available for just €35. Smaller capacities are also available, but at these prices, the 512GB option offers the best value.
