Fantastic Weekly Deals on iPhone Air, iPhone 17, Galaxy S26, and Google Pixel 10

The Apple iPhone Air may not be the original super-slim phone, but it certainly popularized the trend. Currently, it is available for up to €480 off.

This model features a 6.5” LTPO display (120Hz) powered by the robust Apple A19 Pro chipset. Although its 3,149mAh battery is relatively small, it achieves a respectable 12:44h Active Use Score. Plus, there are various MagSafe accessories available to help extend its battery life. However, the single 48MP (1/1.56”) camera is a limitation.

The Apple iPhone 17, a more compact option, sports a 6.3” LTPO display (120Hz). It utilizes the standard A19 chipset, which shares a similar CPU/GPU configuration with less cache compared to the Pro version. The iPhone 17 includes a new 48MP ultra-wide camera (120°) alongside its 48MP main camera. Although it is labeled as “smaller,” it is actually thicker and heavier than the Air but houses a larger 3,692mAh battery that lasts longer, achieving a 14:59h Active Use Score.

Competing with the iPhone 17 is the Samsung Galaxy S26, which features a similar 6.3” LTPO display and, in Europe, operates on an Exynos 2600 chipset. Its 4,300mAh battery offers a minimal edge in endurance, lasting 15:20h. The S26 boasts a 50MP main camera (1/1.56” sensor), along with a 10MP telephoto lens (3x/67mm) and a 12MP ultra-wide camera.

The Google Pixel 10, also in the 6.3” category, represents a more affordable option. Unlike others, it lacks an LTPO display and utilizes Google’s Tensor G5 chip, which cannot compete with Apple’s silicon. It does come with a dedicated 10.8MP telephoto camera paired with a 5x/112mm lens, alongside a 48MP main camera (with a small 1/2.0” sensor) and a 13MP ultra-wide camera. With a 4,970mAh capacity, it has the largest battery of the three, yet its disappointing 12:08h Active Use Score is telling.

Although the Pixel 10 is budget-friendly, the iPhone 17 also positions itself at a comparable price point, but Google and Apple have different definitions of “budget.” The Pixel 10 Pro, though priced closer to the iPhone, provides significant upgrades, including an LTPO panel for its 6.3” display and a larger 1/1.31” 50MP sensor for the main camera. Its telephoto module is enhanced with a 48MP sensor and a 5x/113mm periscope lens. Both its ultra-wide and selfie cameras have benefited from sensor upgrades, now at 48MP and 42MP respectively. However, it still suffers from a slow chipset and average battery life.

Samsung abandoned the ultra-slim race after just one attempt, so there isn’t a Galaxy Edge this year. Instead, the Galaxy S26+ offers a more substantial 4,900mAh battery with impressive efficiency, achieving a noteworthy 16:25h Active Use Score. This model features a larger 6.7” LTPO display, but it utilizes the same Exynos 2600 and camera configuration as the standard S26, which includes a 50MP main, 10MP telephoto, and 12MP ultra-wide.

With only €100 separating the 256GB models and under €200 between the 512GB models, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is worth considering over the S26+. In our head-to-head comparison, we noted several reasons to choose the S26+, but the list of advantages for the S26 Ultra was much more extensive.

In contrast to Samsung, Google treats its small and large flagships equally. Thus, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is simply a larger version of the Pro, featuring a 6.8” display and a 5,200mAh battery (12:29h Active Use Score). Our thoughts on how the Pixel 10 Pro XL compares to the S26 Ultra can be found here.

Motorola recently launched the Razr 70 series, but these new models are not yet available on Amazon. Even if they were, the new Ultra is priced at a staggering €1,400. In contrast, its predecessor, the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra, is now available for just €650 for the base 12/256GB model.

The 70 Ultra features an overclocked version of the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, offering minor enhancements, such as a more luminous screen (5,000 nits vs. 4,500 nits) and a larger battery (5,000mAh vs. 4,700mAh). However, it still lacks a telephoto lens and a USB 3 port, making the price difference hard to justify.
