2024 is almost over and some of the best phones that launched this year are on sale right now.
We haven’t seen the vanilla Google Pixel 9 in a while – since its £100 discount a month ago – but it comes back with a bang. More specifically, the vanilla model is £200 off right now. Actually, if you have a Prime Student subscription, you can knock another 10% off the price.
The Google Pixel 9 Pro is only £100 off, unfortunately, but the 10% extra discount for Prime Student members still applies. And this one comes with a free Fitbit Versa 4.
The offer for the larger Google Pixel 9 Pro XL isn’t as good – just the £100 off, plus 10% off if you have Prime Student active. No free smartwatch, though.
The Xiaomi 14T has a premium 6.67” 12-bit display with Dolby Vision and HDR+. It’s a 1220p+ panel with 144Hz refresh rate. The camera has a 50MP main (1/1.56”, OIS), 50MP 50mm portrait cam (2x) and a 12MP ultra-wide (12mm). The phone is powered by a Dimensity 8300 Ultra and a 5,000mAh battery with 67W wired-only charging.
The Xiaomi 14T Pro upgrades that formula with an aluminium body (both 14T and 14T Pro are rated IP68, but the vanilla model has a plastic chassis), plus the faster Dimensity 9300+. It has a larger 50MP sensor in the main (1/1.31”, OIS) and a slightly better tele camera (50MP 60mm, 2.6x), plus the option for 8K video recording. The battery is the same capacity but has faster wired charging (120W) and also does wireless charging (50W). Here’s a detailed comparison between the Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro.
For around the same price as the 14T, you can have the Poco F6 Pro instead. This one has a similar 6.67” 12-bit display with Dolby Vision and HDR 10+. The resolution is higher (1440p+), which more than makes up for the slightly lower refresh rate (120Hz). This one sacrifices camera quality (50MP 1/1.55” main with OIS, 8MP ultra-wide, no tele) for higher performance with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The battery has 5,000mAh capacity and supports 120W wired-only charging.
The Poco F6 is a cheap but still very fast phone – it has a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 inside. The display is almost as good as on the Pro with the same specs save for the 1220p+ resolution. The 50MP sensor in the main camera is smaller (1/1.95”) and the 5,000mAh battery is capped at 90W. There are a few more differences, check out our Poco F6 vs. F6 Pro article for a closer look.
