Deals: Samsung Galaxy A55 and A35 prices fall even further

If the Samsung Galaxy S24 phones are too pricey, the A-series is the one to look at. Two weeks ago the Galaxy A55 was £440 for the 8/128GB model, the A35 was £340 for a 6/128GB phone, now they are £50-£80 cheaper. To be fair, the old offer included a free pair of Galaxy Buds FE, but not everyone needs new TWS buds.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 is a fairly premium device with an aluminum frame and dual Gorilla Glass (Victus+ on the front). The Exynos 1480 is efficient and powerful enough to drive the 6.6” FHD+ 120Hz OLED display. The A-phones have microSD slots for easy storage expansion, unlike...

Weekly poll results: the Honor Magic6 RSR Porsche Design is a niche device

The Honor Magic6 RSR Porsche Design is a niche device, there are no two ways about it. Last week’s poll shows that there is some interest in such limited edition, rather pricey devices – perhaps bigger than we expected. If you have the money, why not treat yourself?

There isn’t much to complain about as far as the hardware is concerned, it’s just that you can buy two flagships for that kind of price. Or a premium device like the Honor Magic6 Pro and something else.

But Porsche Design has a pedigree and it is a fairly unique look. It’s not just pure design either, there are some...

Deals: Samsung Galaxy S23 FE gets even cheaper, Tab S6 FE price also falls

Last week we reported that the price of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE had fallen from $600 in late April to $550 (this is for the 8/128GB version). Well, now the phone can be yours for $500. The 8/256GB versions is available for $60 more and it looks like a good upgrade, since there’s no microSD slot on this phone.

Deals: the Samsung Galaxy S24 trio is £150 off on Amazon

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series launched to much fanfare with its AI-centric One UI 6.1. If you skipped the pre-order and early day deals, it’s not too late to pick up an S24 – the flagship trio is £150 off on Amazon UK right now.

This means that the base Samsung Galaxy S24 is £650, though that is for the model with only 128GB storage. Unless you are coming from an iPhone, this will feel tight, so consider getting the 256GB model for £60 more.

[#InlineDealWidget, 74878#]

Whichever one you pick, it will only have 8GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy S24+ has 12GB of RAM this year and its...
