The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE remained at MSRP for a few weeks after the launch of the Galaxy A57. Now the FE model is back where it should be – priced at just under $600 for the 8/256GB model. We have a detailed Galaxy S25 FE vs A57 comparison article to help you choose between these two (though given that they’re priced similarly, the choice is quite easy to make).

OnePlus doesn’t offer too many discounts – its phones are already priced aggressively. But now both the OnePlus 15 and 15R are $50 off. The OnePlus 15R features a 6.83” 165Hz OLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a large 7,400mAh battery (with 80W wired-only charging), and a fairly basic 50+8MP camera.

The OnePlus 15 is more capable – its 6.78″ 165Hz display is an LTPO panel and it uses the higher-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. Its 7,300mAh battery supports both 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. Best of all, it has a 50MP 1/1.56″ main camera, a 50MP 3.5x/80mm periscope and Has 50MP. Ultra-wide (116°).

Carl Pei says he wants to steal it “one bored iPhone user at a time.” Well, are you bored with your iPhone? If you answered “yes,” check out the Nothing Phone (4A) Pro. It has a distinctive design, a 6.83″ 144Hz OLED display and a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. Its battery is of 5,080mAh capacity and 50W wired-only charging. The camera setup is interesting – a 50MP 1/1.56″ main, a 50MP 3.5x/80mm periscope and an 8MP ultra-wide. This gives the Galaxy S25 FE a run for its money. And iPhone 17 also does not have a telephoto camera.

It also has a nothing phone (3). It has a high resolution dot matrix display – Did we forget to mention the dot matrix display on the back of the (4A) Pro? – and a small 6.67″ 120Hz OLED display on the front. The battery is a disappointingly small 5,150mAh capacity Si/C cell (Si/C batteries are typically 6,000+ mAh). At least you get 15W wireless charging to go with the 65W wired charging. And a slightly more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset.

There are upgrades to the cameras too, the main one being a larger 1/1.3″ 50MP sensor, a 50MP 3x periscope and a 50MP ultra-wide. Keep in mind that the base iPhone 17 is $800 new and even the older iPhone 16 is $700.

It’s been a while since we looked at a tablet, so let’s take a look at how the market is doing. The 2025 vanilla Apple iPad is a good baseline – it has an 11” IPS LCD (60Hz) and a fairly powerful Apple A16 chipset.

The Apple iPad Air 11 that came out earlier this year is more than 50% more expensive and yet its 11″ IPS LCD still runs at 60Hz. You get the Apple M4 chipset, which is essentially a laptop/mini PC class processor. Additionally, the USB-C port has video out via DisplayPort and Stage Manager functionality to go with it (which will be improved in the upcoming iPadOS 27). If you want a larger screen and battery, a 13″ model Is also.

The Apple iPad Pro 11 is the one you should choose if you want a better display – it has a 120Hz 11″ OLED panel, a bright tandem OLED (it peaks at 1,000 nits and 1,600 nits in high brightness mode). The Apple M5 is even brighter, it’s the chip inside the current MacBook Air, where it’s also passively cooled. And you can get a Magic Keyboard to turn on the iPad Pro. If you want If you want a smaller laptop, a larger 13” version is available.

Speaking of Samsung, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+ are both $600 for the 12/256GB model. They have 10.9” and 13.1” IPS LCDs respectively (both 90Hz), so it’s up to you whether you want the larger tablet or the smaller one. Their battery capacities also differ, of course, 8,000mAh and 10,090mAh.

However, both use the same chipset, the Exynos 1580, and have microSD slots. DeX is supported on the tablet’s screen, but the USB-C 2.0 port lacks video out functionality. Both slates come with the S Pen stylus included as standard, with the Casebook Cover Keyboard optional.
