If the Samsung Galaxy S24 telephones are too dear, the A-series is the one to have a look at. Two weeks in the past the Galaxy A55 was £440 for the 8/128GB mannequin, the A35 was £340 for a 6/128GB telephone, now they’re £50-£80 cheaper. To be truthful, the outdated supply included a free pair of Galaxy Buds FE, however not everybody wants new TWS buds.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 is a reasonably premium machine with an aluminum body and twin Gorilla Glass (Victus+ on the entrance). The Exynos 1480 is environment friendly and highly effective sufficient to drive the 6.6” FHD+ 120Hz OLED show. The A-phones have microSD slots for straightforward storage enlargement, not like the S-line fashions, however they lack wi-fi charging and their water resistance is IP67 as an alternative of IP68 (not that it ought to make a distinction in apply).

The A55 at £364 looks like an ideal deal, however the Galaxy A35 is below £300 if you happen to go for the bottom mannequin with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage (the latter is definitely expandable, the previous is just not).

The £140 value doesn’t examine favorably with the Fireplace HD 10, however at the least you get a mainline Android (not that getting the Google Play Retailer on a Fireplace pill is tough, however they run older, personalized Android).

The Microsoft Floor Professional 9 is one other sort of pill – it’s a Home windows 11 2-in-1 machine. It has a 13” show with 2,880 x 1,920px decision (3:2) and 120Hz refresh price that could be a touchscreen, after all.
