iPhone Air Discounted by £200: Explore Great Deals on Poco and Nothing Phones

Last week, we explored discounts on the iPhone 17e and 17 Pro Max. Now, let's take a look at another model: the iPhone Air.

This phone is one of the slimmest on the market, measuring just 5.6mm and weighing only 165g. Its robust titanium frame ensures durability despite its slender design. Equipped with the powerful Apple A19 Pro chipset, it features a 6.5” LTPO display. However, it compromises on camera hardware, sporting only a 48MP (1/1.56”) camera on the rear, and battery capacity. The modest 3,149mAh battery offers average performance, achieving an Active Use Score of 12:44 hours.

The Google Pixel 10 is a smaller phone, featuring a 6.3” display. While it is shorter and narrower, it is thicker (8.6mm) and heavier (204g), which accommodates a larger 4,970mAh battery. Nevertheless, thanks to the inefficiency of its Tensor G5 chipset, the Pixel 10 only achieves an Active Use Score of 12:08 hours.

If you seek a more affordable option, the Pixel 10a is another 6.3” device from Google, utilizing the older Tensor G4 chipset. This can be a hidden advantage, as the slightly larger 5,100mAh battery provides a significantly better Active Use Score of 15:13 hours. Note that the 10a forgoes the Pixel 10’s 10.8MP 5x/112mm periscope camera.

Previously available for pre-order, the Nothing Phone (4b) is now on sale. Priced £80 lower than the base 8/128GB version of the Nothing Phone (4a), available at nothing.tech, it offers a better chipset (Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 vs. 6 Gen 4), superior storage (UFS 3.1 vs. UFS 2.2), better cameras, including a 50MP 3.5x/80mm periscope, and a comparable battery (5,080mAh vs. 5,200mAh).

With a price that's double, it’s no surprise that the Nothing Phone (3) outperforms the (4b). This flagship device boasts a solid £300 discount and features the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, a 5,150mAh Si/C battery with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging, along with a sizeable 1/1.3” 50MP main camera, a 50MP 3x periscope, and a 50MP 114° ultra-wide camera.

The Poco F8 Pro is a cost-effective alternative that offers a faster Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It features a similar display, a 6.59” 12-bit OLED, and a larger 6,210mAh battery (100W wired-only charging). Additionally, it includes a 50MP main camera (1/1.55” sensor), a 50MP 2.5x/60mm telephoto, and an 8MP 120° ultra-wide camera.

For just £30 more than the Nothing Phone, the Poco F8 Ultra offers the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It features a spacious 6.9” 12-bit OLED display and a fast 6,500mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Moreover, Poco has enhanced the camera setup, which includes a 50MP main (1/1.31”), a 50MP 5x/115mm periscope, and a 50MP ultra-wide.

The Poco X8 Pro is another noteworthy alternative to the Nothing Phone (4b), featuring the Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset and a 6,500mAh battery (100W wired-only charging). It sports a 6.59” 12-bit OLED display and a simple yet effective 50+8MP camera system.

Finally, the Poco X8 Pro Max takes performance to the next level with a flagship-level Dimensity 9500s chipset and an 8,500mAh Si/C battery (100W wired-only charging). It includes a larger 6.83” 12-bit OLED display, while retaining the same camera setup as the X8 Pro. For more details, refer to our in-depth Poco X8 Pro vs. Poco X8 Pro Max comparison.
