Deals: Pixel 9 series get discounts, Galaxy Z foldables still on pre-order

The Samsung Galaxy Z foldables went on pre-order last week and are now heading into their second week. Open sales will begin soon, but in the meantime, you can have a free storage upgrade. Additionally, Amazon offers a £100 gift card – considering that Prime is £95 a year, it practically pays for itself.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is super thin, possibly the thinnest horizontal foldable. It has DeX multitasking on large 6.5” cover and 8.0” inner displays with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The phone is equipped with a 200MP main camera (plus 10MP 3x tele and 12MP ultra-wide). The 4,400mAh battery is small and slow to charge (25W/15W) and the S Pen is no longer supported.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is also slimmer than its predecessor but also brings a battery upgrade to 4,300mAh – that’s almost as much as the Z Fold7. However, charging is slow at 25W/15W. The new model has larger cover (4.1”) and main (6.9”) displays but the same old cameras (with HDR videos being the key upgrade). All Z Flip7s sold globally are powered by the new Exynos 2500. New this year is DeX support.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is £200 less than the premium Flip. However, you sacrifice performance (old Exynos 2400 chipset), battery (4,000mAh) and display size (3.4” cover, 6.7” main), not to mention that it is thicker (14.9mm folded, 6.9mm unfolded vs. 13.7mm, 6.5mm).

The Z Flip7 FE is essentially 2024 hardware – so why not look at other old clamshell foldables? Like the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra, for example. This has bigger displays (4.0” and 6.9”), a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and a 50+50MP camera with a 2x telephoto lens.

Moving on to Google’s phones, the 9-series is around £300 off at the moment. This brings the Google Pixel 9 Pro under £1,000, even if you are looking at the 512GB model. And you may have to as 128GB is too small and 256GB is out of stock.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro offers much the same hardware in a smaller package – 6.3” vs. 6.8” display and 4,700mAh vs. 5,060mAh battery. Check out our detailed comparison for a closer look.

The Google Pixel 9 is the same size as the Pro and features the same Tensor G4 chipset. It has two of the same cameras too, the 50MP 1/1.31” main and 48MP ultra-wide, but lacks a telephoto module. Head over to our Pixel 9 vs. 9 Pro article for more details.

The Google Pixel 9a only has a small discount, so there isn’t much separating it from the Pixel 9 in terms of price, especially if you look at the 256GB models. Here’s the Pixel 9 vs. 9a head-to-head comparison for a closer look.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE doesn’t have the biggest discount either, but it does come with a free Galaxy Watch7. With a price close to the Pixel 9a, this one has the better chipset (Exynos 2400e), a dedicated telephoto camera (10MP 3x/75mm) and a bigger 6.7” display.

The Nothing Phone (3) has a love-it-or-hate-it design. Its 6.67” 1260p+ OLED display is an LTPS panel and is hooked up to a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. There are four 50MP cameras on board – 1/1.3” main, 1/2.75” 3x periscope and 114° ultra-wide on the back, plus a 1/2.76” selfie camera. The battery in the global model is 5,150mAh with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging. The Phone (3) comes with a free pair of Nothing Ear TWS buds.

It could have been paired with something like the new Nothing Headphone (1) over-ears, for example. But if you want those, you will have to pay the full £300 price.
