Deals: OnePlus 15 goes on pre-order, Galaxy S25 series gets discounted

Postage times go crazy this time of year, but there is still time to buy a new phone and have it arrive before the holidays.

Well, not this one. The OnePlus 15 is still “coming soon” – the company’s US site is showing January shipping times. It’s also up on Amazon at the same $900 starting price for the 12/256GB model.

Another alternative brand is Nothing – its first flagship isn’t as powerful as we might have hoped, but at least now its price reflects that. And it’s available now. The Nothing Phone (3) has a 6.67” 120Hz OLED display (1260p+, LTPS), a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and a 5,150mAh battery (65W wired, 15W wireless). The phone has four 50MP cameras – 1/1.3” main, 3x periscope and 114° ultra-wide on the back, plus the selfie camera.

Next, let’s have a battle of the 6.7” Samsung Galaxy S phones. The Galaxy S25+ is the old reliable. It’s quite a bit more expensive than the Galaxy S25 FE, but it offers higher performance and better battery life. The FE model offers a similar enough user experience that makes it worth considering. Check out our Galaxy S25+ vs. S25 FE article for more details.

There’s also the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which will probably go down in history as a failed experiment. Still, it has a more premium build while being slimmer and lighter. The camera experience is close too, despite not having a dedicated zoom lens (this is a condemnation of Samsung’s outdated 10MP 3x module more than anything else). The S25+ has a bigger battery and thus better battery life. For more, here’s the Galaxy S25 Edge vs. S25+ head-to-head comparison.

We will also mention the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25. Both are available through Samsung US and through Amazon. Samsung has better prices for the Ultra, while Amazon sells the vanilla model slightly cheaper.

Let’s go back to OnePlus to look at the company’s tablets. The OnePlus Pad 3 has a large 13.2” IPS LCD (12-bit colors with Dolby Vision and 144Hz refresh rate). It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and a 12,140mAh battery with 80W fast charging.

The OnePlus Pad 2 is quite cheap while still offering a powerful chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and a high-quality display – a 12.1” IPS LCD (10-bit with Dolby Vision, 144Hz). The battery is 9,510mAh with 67W charging.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S10+ is about the same size, though its 12.4” display is a 120Hz OLED. Also, it’s powered by the older Dimensity 9300+ chipset and a 10,090mAh battery with 45W charging. Samsung has DeX, of course, though we have to say that we found OnePlus’ Open Canvas multitasking to be quite powerful (check out our Pad 3 review for details).

The Motorola Edge (2025) sure looks premium with its curved 6.7” 1220p+ OLED display (10-bit, 120Hz) and faux leather back. However, the Dimensity 7400 Ultra chipset barely qualifies as mid-range. Still, you get a 5,200mAh battery with fast charging (68W wired, 15W wireless) and a camera system with a 50MP main (1/1.56”), 10MP 3x/73mm telephoto and 50MP ultra-wide, plus another 50MP sensor in the selfie module.

The Moto G Power (2025) was disappointing at its $300 MSRP and even at $200 some of its components are sub-par. However, it’s a stylish-looking phone with an IP69 rating and it checks many boxes: microSD slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo speakers, it even has wireless charging (15W) for the 5,000mAh battery (and 30W wired). However, the Dimensity 6300 is slow, the camera is limited and we found that the 6.8” IPS LCD has uniformity issues.

RAM prices have gone crazy right now, but you still have several options in front of you. One is to just wait, prices will settle down. Another is to get a Sony PlayStation – either the original or the Pro model.

You can also pick up an extra DualSense controller – some PS5 games have local multiplayer like in the good old days – or the PS Portal, which will let you play anywhere in the house (or just when the TV is occupied).
