You can get a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 for not a lot of money. The SD 7+ Gen 2 also offers a lot of bang for your buck. Amazon’s Spring sale brings great.
Amazon’s Spring sale brings great discounts on smartphones old and new. We picked out a few flagships, but some of the mid-rangers offer value for money that is hard beat.
The OnePlus 12 flexes its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 muscles on the 6.82” 120Hz LTPO AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution. The chip also handles processing for the Hasselblad-branded cameras — 50MP main (1/1.43”, OIS), 64MP 3x tele and 48MP ultra wide (114°). The phone is super fast to charge its large 5,400mAh battery at 100W wired and 50W wirelessly.
Is it finally time to jump to a foldable phone? The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra is a whopping 39% off. To be fair, this may be because a new model is coming soon. That Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is a bit old, but still plenty fast, and you get a wonderful 6.9” 165Hz LTPO display that fits in a compact package. When closed, you can use the 3.6” 144Hz cover display.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 brings the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (and it’s the boosted “for Galaxy” variant), but it costs €120 more and it itself is due for a replacement soon. Also, the 6.7” 120Hz display inside is not an LTPO panel, but at least this generation got a usable 3.4” cover display.
Remember the Z Flip4? Its cover display was as small as the one on the Motorola Razr 40. To be fair, the vanilla Razr is only €600, but dropping down to a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 may not sound appealing to some – you may want to pay the €130 premium and get the Ultra.
