Recently, the OnePlus 13’s 16/512GB variant dropped by €100 to €950, while the base 12/256GB model remains at €900. Competing against it, the vivo X200 features a similar triple 50MP camera setup but has a slightly smaller display and a Dimensity 9400 chipset. Other new phones include the Google Pixel 9a at a discount with free Pixel Buds. The Realme GT 6 offers competitive specs at mid-€300, and the Poco F7 Pro has a better display but lacks camera features. The CMF Phone 2 Pro launches soon, while the original CMF Phone 1 is still available.
Around a month ago, the OnePlus 13 was priced at €1,050 for the 16/512GB variant. Now, that model is €100 less, while the base 12/256GB version remains at its original price of €900.
The vivo X200 competes with the OnePlus, featuring triple 50MP cameras for both brands. It’s slightly smaller at 6.67” with a non-LTPO display, compared to the OnePlus’s 6.82” LTPO panel (1260p+ versus 1440p+ resolution). Another distinction is the chipset: Dimensity 9400 versus Snapdragon 8 Elite. The vivo’s battery is nearly the same size—5,800mAh compared to 6,000mAh—but it only offers wired charging (90W versus 100W wired and 50W wireless on the OnePlus).
We’re beginning to see the first deals on the Google Pixel 9a. The base 8/128GB model comes with a small discount and includes a free pair of Pixel Buds A-series. A 256GB version is also available, but currently without any discount.
The Realme GT 6 features Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 performance for just over €300. However, this variant only has 8GB of RAM, while an additional 4GB costs an extra €60. It boasts a 6.78” 120Hz LTPO display (10-bit, Dolby Vision, 1264p+) and a 5,500mAh battery with 120W wired charging. Its camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor (1/1.4”, OIS), a 50MP 2x telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide. This model ships with Android 14 and will receive three OS updates in total.
The Poco F7 Pro is priced at €90 more than the comparable 12/256GB version. It features the full Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Its display is slightly smaller but sharper (6.67” 1440p+) with enhanced color depth (12-bit, Dolby Vision). However, it lacks an LTPO panel and has a lower peak brightness (3,200 nits vs. 6,000 nits). The battery is larger at 6,000mAh and supports 90W wired charging. Additionally, the Poco offers better water resistance (IP68 vs. IP65), though its camera setup is somewhat limited with a 50MP main camera (1/1.55”, OIS) and an 8MP ultra-wide, lacking a telephoto lens.
The Poco X7 Pro (12/256GB) is €70 less expensive than the Realme GT 6; however, its Dimensity 8400 Ultra chipset outperforms the Realme’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (but not the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the F7 Pro). The X7 Pro features a similar display (note: 1220p+ resolution) and battery, but its camera is even more basic, employing a smaller 1/1.95” sensor for the main camera.
Don’t forget about the CMF Phone 2 Pro, which is set to launch officially on Monday. Shipping will take a few days regardless. Be sure to compare it with the Redmi. It has a 50MP main camera (1/1.57”) without OIS, and a 50MP 2x (50mm) module for optical zoom, plus an 8MP ultra-wide. The Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset is slightly slower than the Snapdragon, while the 6.77” 10-bit 120Hz OLED display is larger, albeit with lower resolution and fewer HDR features.
The original CMF Phone 1 is still available. It has a similar chipset to the Pro model but lacks a telephoto camera—there’s not even an ultra-wide. Additionally, it features a smaller 6.67” display, no HDR, and a lower peak brightness (2,000 nits compared to 3,000 nits).
The Realme 14 Pro+ is currently €150 off, which still places it €130 above the CMF Phone 2 Pro. Its Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is marginally faster, and it features a 6.83” display with a slightly higher resolution (1272p+ vs. 1080p+). It also boasts high-end water resistance with an IP69 rating, compared to IP54 for the CMF. The camera setup includes a 50+50+8MP configuration on the rear, with the main camera featuring OIS and a longer 73mm 3x telephoto lens (as opposed to a 50mm 2x), which enhances its utility. The battery is larger and supports faster charging, with a capacity of 6,000mAh and 80W wired charging.
