A week has passed since the iPhone 15 series was released, and the mood has been rather subdued due to the lack of major launches. Our attention was mainly concentrated on older models and their decline in pricing, as well as their comparison with newer offerings. Refer to the links below to find out about deals in your respective country including the United States, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, and India.
In the United States, Foldable smartphones are still on the pricey side, but if you can bide your time, attractive discounts are within reach. The price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5, featuring 512GB storage, has seen a decrease of $255 several months following its initial launch.
For those who prefer a clamshell design, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5, also equipped with a 512GB storage capacity, is available for less than $1,000. However, if you're aiming for a lower price, you can consider the Motorola Razr+. This phone possesses a superior internal display, and comparable cameras and batteries to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5.
Switching to 'bar' phones, the rivalry persists. The Moto Edge+ offers double the storage capacity (512GB) and a slightly better display than the Galaxy S23+, at a price that is $100 less. On the other hand, both phones run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but the Galaxy variant is faster.
If you're seeking a smartphone with the features of the flagship One UI but at a lesser cost, the Galaxy A54 serves as the next best alternative to the S-series. The Exynos 1380 chipset might not be at par with the Snapdragon 8, but it serves well for its class. Plus, it comes with the added benefit of having a microSD slot.
A couple of weeks earlier, we highlighted the 2022 iPad 10.9, priced at $400 (64GB, Wi-Fi). The deal is still ongoing, but there's a cheaper option available, the 2021 model of the iPad 10.2, also featuring 64GB storage and Wi-Fi, priced at $270. The most significant drawback of the older model is the presence of the Lightning port.
Finally, Meta recently unveiled the Quest 3. Boasting a higher resolution, wider field of view, thinner pancake lenses, and a more powerful Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset, the Meta Quest 3, priced at $500, tops even the Quest Pro of the past. However, if you're on the budget end, the older Quest 2 model, priced at $300, is a viable alternative.
