You don’t see iPhone discounts often, but this week the entire 16 series is on sale – including the 16e. On the other side of the iOS/Android divide, the Pixels are on sale too.
The Apple iPhone 16e serves as the “cheap” iPhone after the SE series was discontinued. We put it in quotes since it’s not that cheap – but having a €100 discount helps. You do lose quite a few features compared to the vanilla 16, though – here is a detailed iPhone 16e vs. iPhone 16 comparison.
Those extra features come at a price, however, somewhere around €200, depending on which storage option you are looking at. Of course, if you are looking at more capable models, you should also consider the similarly-sized Pro – here is the iPhone 16 vs. 16 Pro head-to-head article.
Some people prefer larger displays and batteries and the Apple iPhone 16 Plus offers just that. Here is how it compares with the smaller iPhone 16.
There is a similar debate among the Pro duo – their features are mostly the same, the main differences stem from the display and battery size. Check out the iPhone 16 Pro vs. 16 Pro Max for a detailed discussion on the pros and cons of each model.
We promised you Pixels and here they are, starting with the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. It has the biggest discount here – up to €383 – though we will warn you that the exact amount depends on both storage and color. Which is better, this or the iPhone? Check out our thoughts on the iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. Pixel 9 Pro XL comparison.
Again, you have the option of mostly the same features in a smaller package (with a smaller screen and battery) in the Google Pixel 9 Pro. Still, you can find the in-depth comparison here.
Finally, there is the cheaper Google Pixel 9. We would point you to the Pixel 9 vs. 9 Pro article, but the comparison here is not so straightforward – Amazon will sell you an Acer Chromebook for just €5 extra. This is a continuation of the free Chromebook offer from a few weeks ago. It’s not a very capable laptop, but coupled with the major discount on the phone (the discount is bigger now), it’s a deal worth considering.
