Welcome to the Spectacle that is Black Friday!
Ah, Black Friday! That glorious day when people engage in combat over discounted electronics—where a peaceful shopping trip can turn into a scene straight out of “Mad Max”! It’s like a boxing match, but with Wi-Fi routers instead of gloves. There’s no shortage of sales this year, but let’s face it, Black Friday is the “granddaddy” of them all. Sure, it technically falls on the 29th, but just like a kid who can’t resist a donut, who can blame retailers for getting a head start?
Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro: The Wonder Twins!
Currently, both the Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro are enjoying a cool €150 off. They sport the same display and design—essentially twins separated at birth. However, the Pro version comes with a chipset so powerful it could probably run a small country. If you’re interested in details, don’t miss out on our comparison post—it’s like “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” but for phones!

Join the stylish ranks of the OnePlus Nord 4, featuring a beautiful aluminum unibody and a massive 6.74” display. This phone is no slouch with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip, capable of trading blows with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phones. It’s IP65 rated, so it’s better at dodging dust than your ex during a breakup.
Poco F6: The Bargain Hunter’s Secret Weapon!
In the race for the best budget phone, we have the Poco F6, offering similar specs to the Nord 4 but at a price that won’t make your wallet weep. It’s like the sibling your parents forgot to brag about. And while the Nord’s battery is larger, the Poco still offers a decent 5,000mAh. It’s the classic tale of brains vs. brawn—but at a discount!
Realme 12 Pro+: Ready for the Photographers!
If capturing memories is your thing, look no further than the Realme 12 Pro+, boasting a 64MP telephoto lens. Pair that with a 50MP main camera and you’ve got yourself a mini photographer’s dream! Just remember, a great camera doesn’t equal a great social life.
Redmi Note 13 Pro: The 200MP Wonder!
For those dreaming of pixels, feast your eyes on the Redmi Note 13 Pro, which brags a stunning 200MP camera.

The OnePlus Nord 4 boasts a sleek aluminum unibody design coupled with a generous 6.74-inch display featuring a resolution of 1,240 x 2,772 pixels. This stunning 120Hz 10-bit panel, however, is not categorized as an LTPO display. With an IP65 rating, the device is resistant to dust but won’t withstand submersion in water. Moreover, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset provides impressive performance, rivaling that of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered devices.
The Poco F6 offers a similar 6.67-inch display alongside a resolution of 1,220 x 2,712 pixels and also features a 120Hz refresh rate, although it lacks LTPO technology. It boasts superior 12-bit color support, although its IP64 rating is lower than that of the Nord 4. Additionally, its 5,000mAh battery is less powerful compared to the Nord 4’s 5,500mAh capacity, making the Poco more budget-friendly.
The Realme 12 Pro+ stands out with unique features, including a 64MP telephoto lens not found on the Nord or Poco. It also features a robust camera setup with a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera. However, it is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, which lags behind the 7+ Gen 3 in performance.
If photography is your priority, you’ll want to explore the Redmi Note 13 Pro, featuring an astounding 200MP main camera. While it does not have a dedicated telephoto lens, its high-resolution sensor provides impressive 2x and decent 4x zoom capabilities. This model is also powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2.
As for higher-end options, the OnePlus 12R comes equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, a flagship chip from previous years, and boasts an LTPO panel for its expansive 6.78-inch display, featuring a resolution of 1,264 x 2,780 pixels. While it lacks a telephoto lens, it is outfitted with a solid 50MP main camera and houses a 5,500mAh battery that supports 100W wired charging.
The Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra remains a competitive option amidst the focus on the ROG model. It utilizes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor alongside a remarkable 6.78-inch LTPO display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1080p+ resolution. Designed with stealth gaming in mind, it includes a 32MP telephoto camera along with a 50MP main camera and a 13MP ultra-wide shooter. Lastly, it packs a robust 5,500mAh battery with both 65W wired and 15W wireless charging capabilities.
The Fairphone 5 stands out in the market, coming with a complimentary iFixit screwdriver that underscores its commitment to being fully repairable by the user. Both the original 8/256GB and the more budget-friendly 6/128GB variants are included in this year’s Black Friday sale.
