Amazon is hosting a global spring shopping event, and we’ve curated the top smartphone deals for Germany. The Poco F7 series has launched just in time for the Spring Deal Days, but it faces stiff competition.
The Poco F7 Ultra starts at €700 and delivers flagship-level performance powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a 5,300mAh battery that supports 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. It boasts an IP68 rating and features a 6.67” display with Poco Shield Glass – a high-quality 120Hz panel with 1440p+ resolution, 12-bit colors, Dolby Vision, and a peak brightness of 3,200 nits.
Poco has also focused on the camera system, incorporating a 50MP main camera (1/1.55”, OIS), a 50MP 2.5x (60mm) telephoto camera capable of taking tele-macro shots, and a 32MP ultra-wide camera, along with a 32MP selfie camera.
The Realme GT 7 Pro was among the first Snapdragon 8 Elite devices in Europe but now has several competitors. Priced €50 higher than the Poco, it features an LTPO display panel (6.78”, 1264p+, 120Hz, 10-bit, GG 7i) and a hefty 6,500mAh battery with 120W wired-only charging.
Its main camera compares favorably too, boasting a 50MP 1/1.56” sensor with OIS, while the 50MP 3x telephoto module offers a longer focal length (73mm vs. 60mm). However, it does compromise slightly with an 8MP ultra-wide and a 16MP selfie camera, unlike the Poco’s 32MP ultra-wide and selfie options.
The OnePlus 13 comes in at a higher price point than both of these models. Like the others, it features the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset along with a sizable 6,000mAh battery that supports both 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Its 6.82” LTPO display supports a 1440p+ resolution.
Its camera setup features a 50MP main camera (1/1.43”, OIS), a 50MP 3x periscope camera (73mm), and an impressive 50MP ultra-wide camera, alongside a 32MP selfie shooter.
The Poco F7 Pro offers a €230 savings over the F7 Ultra while maintaining the same storage options and display (different glass, GG 7i, but identical panel). It runs on last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is still very capable, especially for this price. The telephoto camera and the 32MP ultra-wide are missed, as it includes an 8MP module instead, but it boasts a larger 6,000mAh battery with 90W wired-only charging.
While the F7 Pro is mid-range in pricing, its aluminum frame, IP68 rating, and flagship chipset provide an elevated experience.
Poco has not released a standard F7 model, but if you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Poco F6 is still available. Featuring the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, it’s not too far behind the newer model’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The display is similar at 6.67”, with a 120Hz refresh rate and 12-bit colors with Dolby Vision, though its resolution is lower (1220p+ vs. 1440p+). The battery capacity is reduced to 5,000mAh. The F6 remains an excellent choice, priced €170 less than the F7 Pro.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra stands out as one of the leading Android phones, yet it faces tough competition from other major brands. Be sure to check out our comparisons of the Galaxy S25 Ultra with the Pixel 9 Pro XL and the OnePlus 13 for more detailed insights.
Speaking of comparisons, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is available at about €220 less if you’re considering a 512GB option.
If you’re looking to spend more for the highest quality camera, the vivo X200 Pro certainly deserves a mention, featuring a 50MP main camera, a 200MP 3.7x periscope (85mm), and a 50MP ultra-wide. This one is even more affordable than the Pixel.
For more compact flagship options, there’s the Samsung Galaxy S25 and the Pixel 9 Pro. The Galaxy is more compact and offers superior performance (SD 8 Elite vs. Tensor G4), although it has less RAM (12GB vs. 16GB).
The Google Pixel 9 Pro, on the other hand, offers a more sophisticated camera setup with a 50MP main (1/1.31”), a 48MP 5x telephoto lens (compared to 12MP 3x), and a 48MP ultra-wide lens (vs. 12MP). Its selfie camera is also superior, featuring a 42MP sensor with a wider 17mm lens compared to the 12MP 26mm.
The Google Pixel 9 is another option, allowing you to save some cash if you can forgo the Pro’s LTPO display and the telephoto camera.
The vivo X200, while larger, competes closely on price, so we thought it was worth mentioning. It features a 6.67” display and a Dimensity 9400 chipset. The camera system includes three 50MP modules: a 1/1.56” main camera, a 3x (70mm) telephoto camera, and a 15mm ultra-wide camera. Its battery is an impressive 5,800mAh with 90W wired-only charging.
While it’s less powerful, the Realme 14 Pro+ costs half as much. It features two 50MP modules – a 1/1.56” main and a 3x (73mm) telephoto – but the ultra-wide is merely an 8MP sensor. It runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, which doesn’t match the top-tier status of the Poco F7 Pro.
However, it does offer superior cameras compared to the F7 Pro. With a 6,000mAh battery that supports 80W charging and an IP69 rating, it represents a great value at €70 less than the Poco. The 6.83” display has a lower resolution (1272p+ vs. 1440p+) and supports fewer colors (10-bit vs. 12-bit with Dolby Vision), yet both utilize Gorilla Glass 7i.
