Deals: Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 go on pre-order, CMF Phone 1 shakes up the mid-range segment

Must read

The new Samsung Galaxy Z foldables were unveiled this Wednesday and will spend a couple of weeks on pre-order. But you may want to pick up one before July 24 arrives as Amazon is offering a €100 discount at checkout.

Amazon also has some bundles to consider. For example, the Galaxy Z Fold6 plus Galaxy Buds3 Pro can be had for €100 more than just the phone – a solid deal, considering that the Buds3 Pro are €250 if bought separately. There is a similar bundle for the Galaxy Z Flip6.

Here are the Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro on their own, in case you weren’t planning on getting a foldable:

The CMF Phone 1 by Nothing is one of the most impressive €200 phones that we have tested yet. It has a unique, kind of practical design, a brilliant display and battery, fast chipset and good camera. It’s the only camera on the back, but it’s good (even without OIS). The lack of NFC, stereo speakers and better than IP52 resistance leaves some things to be desired, but again, you can have this for just €200.

The Nothing Phone (2a), the parent brand’s main budget phone, is €100 more. True, this one does have OIS on the main camera, a 50MP ultra wide and NFC. Plus, the chipset is a bit faster (but only a bit) and the water resistance goes up to IP54. The 2a is the better phone, certainly, but is it €100 better?

The Samsung Galaxy A35 costs a bit more than the 2a. Its Exynos 1380 is on par with the Dimensity and you get superior IP67 dust and water resistance protection. The 50MP main camera has OIS and the 8MP ultra wide is better than nothing. You may miss the 3.5mm headphone jack, however.
