The prices of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S9 series have been fluctuating in the UK recently. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra has seen a significant drop in price, with the 12/256GB model now priced at £1,000, down from £1,200 just a few weeks ago. Additionally, the 512GB storage variant is available for only £50 more or through the microSD slot. The upgrade from 12/256GB to 512GB used to cost £100.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ is now priced at £850 for the 12/256GB model and £900 for the 12/512GB option (previously £930 at the end of March). The Tab S9 series, along with other 2023 Samsung flagships, has recently been updated with new Galaxy AI features that enable image editing, AI-assisted text input, and summarization on the large screen.
The Galaxy Tab S9 is now priced at £730 for the 256GB configuration (previously £750 a few weeks ago). This model comes with 12GB of RAM, making it a better choice compared to the 128GB model that has seen a £30 price increase and only offers 8GB of RAM.
In March, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ was available for £400 for the 12/512GB unit, but its price has since dropped by £30. This price adjustment could influence the decision-making process when comparing it to the regular Pro model.
The Redmi Note 13 Pro is still priced at £270, the same as a few weeks ago, narrowing the price gap between the two models to £100. The higher cost for the Pro+ model offers a better chipset (Dimensity 7200 Ultra vs. Snapdragon 7s Gen 2), faster storage (UFS 3.1 vs. 2.2), and a higher dust and water resistance rating (IP68 vs. IP54). Additionally, the Pro+ features a 5,000mAh battery that charges at 120W, compared to the regular Pro’s 67W charging with a slightly larger 5,100mAh battery.
Both phones in the Note series feature 6.67” 120Hz AMOLED displays with 12-bit colors and Dolby Vision support. They come with 200 MP main cameras (1/1.4” sensors, OIS) and 8 MP ultrawide lenses, as well as 16MP selfie cameras. While there is no dedicated zoom lens, the high-resolution main sensor performs well at 2x zoom, but the 4x mode may not be as satisfactory.
The Redmi Note 13 (5G) is priced only £40 less than the Pro model, which may not justify the downgrade to a 108MP main camera, lower-end Dimensity 6080 chipset, and 33W charging for the 5,000mAh battery.
For those looking to stay under £200, there is the option of the Poco M6 Pro. This model features a Helio G99 Ultra chipset with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, expandable via a microSD slot. Although the main camera is downgraded to 64MP, the phone supports faster 67W charging for the 5,000mAh battery compared to the 33W charging on other models.
Previously priced at £520 for the 12/256GB model, the Nothing Phone (2) now costs £485, offering a 6.7” LTPO display (1080p+, 120Hz) and a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. The phone is equipped with a 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 4700mAh battery supporting wired (45W) and wireless (15W) charging. Unique design elements, such as the transparent back and LED lights, set this phone apart.
The Sony WF-1000XM5 has seen a £10 price reduction, making it a more appealing option. These TWS earbuds offer exceptional sound quality and feature excellent active noise cancellation technology.
