There’s also the Galaxy S22 trio. The vanilla model is the cheapest at CAD 860, but the Galaxy S22+ has the biggest discount of the three. Still, note that it costs more than the Z Flip4. The S22+ has better cameras and better battery life, but it’s an old-school design. As for the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it’s expensive, but it also has some of the best cameras on the market.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 may have been eclipsed by the Plus version, but it’s still one of the fastest chips of 2022.

Another step up the pricing ladder takes us to the Redmi Note 11S. This phone is just under €300 and while it lacks the chipset prowess of the other two (there’s a Helio G96), it packs a 108MP main sensor with native 2x zoom support. It packs a 6.43” AMOLED display (FHD+, 90Hz) and a 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging (100% in 58 minutes).

Alternatively, for €60 more you can have the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G instead. As the name suggests, it has 5G (and Redmi doesn’t), thanks to the Exynos 1280 chipset. It has a 6.5” 120Hz AMOLED display (also FHD+) and while it uses a smaller sensor for its 64MP main cam, it does have OIS. The battery is comparable (5,000mAh, 25W).

You can always get the OnePlus 10 or 10 Pro instead, but the 9-series has dropped significantly in price.

The next trio of cheap Nokia phones. The Nokia G50 is the fancier option, a £170 5G phone. It has a larger 6.82-inch IPS LCD, though only with HD+ resolution. At least it’s paired with a massive 5,000mAh battery (with not-so-fast 18W charging).

The Nokia G21 and G11 are a pair of almost identical 4G phones. The G21 charges £30 more, but includes a 50MP main camera instead of 13MP and has double the storage (64GB in this case). Apart from this, both have 6.5” IPS LCD (90Hz), powered by Unisoc T606 chipset and 5,050mA battery.

There is also a tablet on offer – the Nokia T20. This slate has a 10.4” IPS LCD and stereo speakers with Ozo Audio, with a 2,000 x 1,200px resolution, so it’s a fine Netflix machine for £150. Amazon also offers a £10 discount on a Microsoft 365 Family subscription.
