Apple typically discontinues the old iPhone Pro models just as the new generation arrives. However, third-party retailers can continue selling the old Pros. Amazon has the Apple iPhone 15 Pro at €1,130 for a 256GB unit, €200 less than the equivalent 16 Pro model. The 2023 phone has a smaller display (6.1” vs. 6.3”), a shorter telephoto lens (77mm vs. 120mm) and a lower resolution ultra wide camera (12MP vs. 48MP). Otherwise, it is fairly similar and it supports Apple Intelligence. Apple iPhone 15 Pro €100 off ...

Quite a few people are looking at the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G as an option for their next phone – and it was a bit of a surprise to see just how many think that this phone can last them 6 years. That’s how long Samsung will be updating the software on this entry-level €250 phone. There are those who like the A16 5G but don’t think that it will last the full 6 years. Performance is an obvious concern – how will the Exynos 1330 or Dimensity 6300 hold up to software in the late 2020s? Will the 4GB of RAM be enough? People in the comments had other concerns too – what if the screen (or...

Hey there, vivo X200 Pro! We've spent some time with this gem of a cameraphone over at its launch event but we now have it at the office and it's ready for a review! The X200 Pro ships with a phone-matching blue case, a 90W charger, and a USB-A to USB-C cable. When you put the new X200 Pro next to vivo's current flagship, the X100 Ultra, there are some obvious differences. The X200 Pro has a less-curved front and back glass, and a wider frame, to compensate for the difference. Curved vs flatter is a matter of personal preference - we'd say that both phones feel lovely in the...

It’s time to revisit some old offers as the discounts on select phones have gotten better than what we saw even during the recent Prime Day event. There are also a few offers that aren’t quite as good, but they are worth checking out in case you missed the Prime deals a couple of weeks ago. We start with the Samsung Galaxy S24. Last week, the base 8/128GB variant was $720. Now you can get the model with more storage, 8/256GB, for just $705 (was $780 last week). Keep in mind that this isn’t just doubling the storage, the 128GB variant uses older UFS 3.1 chips, while the 256GB one is built...

You are in the market for an upper-midrange phone or just a solid all-rounder, and you are boujnd to find this year's Xiaomi 14T Series enticing. But it's hard to tell the Xiaomi 14T and the Xiaomi 14T Pro apart, which makes it even harder to decide which one to get. And yet, the 14T Pro asks for a serious price premium over the vanilla 14T.
