Deals: Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Honor Magic7 Pro get price cuts, whole Poco F7 series gets discounted
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is one of the best camera phones of the year with its 50MP 1'-type main sensor, 50MP 3x/70mm telephoto plus a 200MP 4.3x/100mm second telephoto module and a 50MP ultra-wide. It has always been pretty pricey, though. This is the cool-looking Silver Chrome color, by the way. Xiaomi 15 Ultra £295 off

The Honor Magic7 Pro is cheaper, but still packs quite a punch. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite like the Xiaomi. The main 50MP camera has a smaller but still large 1/1.3' sensor. There is only one telephoto module on board, but it's a 200MP 3x/72mm camera. And there's the 50MP ultra-wide too. The Honor has the bigger battery too, 5,850mAh vs. 5,410mAh for the global models, with comparable charging (100W wired, 80W wireless vs. 90W wired, 80W wireless). Honor Magic7 Pro £250 off

A couple of weeks ago, we looked at Pixel discounts and they are still live. The Google Pixel 9 is up to £300 off, which makes it as cheap as it has ever been.
But the more capable Google Pixel 9 Pro isn't far off with a solid discount of its own. Check out our detailed head-to-head comparison for a closer look at how these two stack up. Unfortunately, Pro models with more than 128GB storage seem to be out of stock. You can try your luck at the Google online store, but at the moment of writing that doesn't have any stock either.
If you like high-end Snapdragons on the cheap, the Poco F7 family is the place to go. The vanilla Poco F7 offers a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 for just £330 at the moment. It is paired with a large 6.83' 12-bit 1280p+ display with 3,200 nits peak brightness and a huge 6,500mAh battery. However, the camera is pretty basic.
The Poco F7 Pro upgrades you to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (no 's') for just £50 more. Its display is smaller at 6.67', but it has a higher resolution of 1440p+. The battery is pretty big too at 6,000mAh. Our Poco F7 vs. F7 Pro article has more details.
Then there's the Poco F7 Ultra – it's pricey for a Poco F, but this is as close to a proper flagship as the series has ever gotten. And it's hard to find a Snapdragon 8 Elite at just over £500 anywhere else. The 5,300mAh battery is on the small side, but it has fast wired (120W) and wireless (50W) charging. The camera has a 50MP 1/1.55' sensor, there is a telephoto module too, 50MP 2.5x/60mm, and a 32MP ultra-wide. Not amazing, but better than any previous Poco F. Here's how it compares with the F7 Pro.
Another branch of the Xiaomi family tree has the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G. It is equipped with a 200MP main camera, but that's where most of the budget went – the ultra-wide has only an 8MP sensor. To be fair, we're looking at something that's quite a bit cheaper than even the vanilla Poco F7 and it offers a great quality 6.67' display for the class (1220p+, 12-bit, Dolby Vision, 3,000 nits with GG Victus 2). The 5,110mAh battery is on the small side, but since this is the Pro+ model, you get 120W wired-only fast charging.
If you are looking at a Samsung Galaxy S25 model, check out the Samsung UK offer, which gives you a free Galaxy Watch7, plus a few other perks like 6 months of Google AI Pro (with 2TB cloud storage) for free.
However, the base discounts are pretty small – e.g. the S25 and S25+ are only £100 off. Sure, the free Watch7 adds value and you get a minimum of £50 if you trade in an old phone. Still, the S25+ starts at £900.
You can dodge the hassle and get the Galaxy S25+ for £700 after a £200 discount and additional £100 off at checkout from Amazon. No freebies, but a Watch7 may not be to your taste, anyway.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 starts at £700 in Samsung's offer and if you want the small flagship, you should probably take it. Amazon UK has it cheaper at £650, but without the extra £100 at checkout, we think we'd rather pay £50 more and get the free watch. That £50 difference disappears with the guaranteed £50 trade-in value, anyway, so check your drawers for an old, forgotten smartphone.
PS. If you want a Samsung foldable instead, the Buy and Try program we wrote about last week is still active (it ends August 19).

Pixel Buds 2a leak reveals Iris color ahead of Google's jam-packed August 20 event
A new leak is revealing the updated design of the Pixel Buds 2a ahead of Google's upcoming launch event. The folks at Android Headlines are now sharing renders of the Iris color of the Pixel Buds 2a. The earbuds are said to come in a few other colors, including Strawberry and Fog Light. The first Pixel Buds from the A-series were announced back in June 2021. Google has not released a successor yet, but now, it's the time for the a-series of earbuds to finally get one. Unfortunately, there's not much leaked information about the earbuds. We expect them to have better battery life and, most likely, improved sound in comparison to their predecessors. The Pixel Buds 2a could be in some pre-order promos for the Pixel 10, typically for Europe and the UK. Pixel Buds 2a leaked render in Iris color. | Image Credit - Android Headlines Google's big event is expected on August 20. We expect to see the Pixel 10 series: the Pixel 10 , Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Google is also going to unveil the Pixel Watch 4, and of course, the Pixel Buds 2a. Also, we expect to see new accessories similar to Apple's 'MagSafe' line, reportedly called PixelSnap, which would connect magnetically with the Pixel 10 (apparently, Google will put magnets inside the phone, just like Apple does with MagSafe). Reportedly, there will be a PixelSnap charging puck, which has already leaked previously, and a charging stand, as well as a ring that can snap onto the back of the phone. Google is also said to launch a new dual-port USB-C wall charger. I personally think this is going to be a fun event. It's nice to see Google finally updating the A-series earbuds after all this time. I'm curious to see how they sound and what the new colors look like in person. The whole Pixel lineup sounds packed this year – with phones, watches, earbuds, and even some cool new magnetic accessories. If everything we've heard is true, August 20 is going to be a pretty exciting day for Pixel fans.
