Several new releases are clamoring for your attention – some come with solid discounts, others not so much. Here’s a closer look at the new offerings.
The Realme GT 7 is equipped with a Dimensity 9400e – despite the name, this is closer to the 9300 than it is to the 9400. As we note in our review, the chip is fast, but sustained performance is an issue. Still, you get a lot of hardware for the price.
This includes a 6.78” LTPO OLED (120Hz, 1264p+, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, 6,000 nits peak brightness) and a 7,000mAh battery with 120W charging and battery bypass. Battery life is quite awesome!
The triple camera on the back includes a 50MP main, a 50MP 2x telephoto and an unremarkable 8MP ultra-wide. The phone is rated IP69. It comes with Android 15 out of the box and will receive 4 OS updates and two extra years of security patches.

The Realme GT 7T is €100 less, but you give up quite a bit. Not the IP69 rating and not the 7,000mAh battery either (complete with 120W charging and battery bypass).
That said, the 6.8” display is a non-LTPO panel (it still reaches 6,000 nits peak, though). Also, the chipset is knocked down to a Dimensity 8400 Max – quite fast, but doesn’t challenge flagship chips the way that the 9400e does. The 50MP 2x camera is gone too.

Their predecessors are still around – the Realme GT 6 gets you that LTPO panel that the 7T doesn’t and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 holds up decently against the Dimensity 8400. This model also has a 50MP main, 50MP 2x tele and 8MP ultra-wide. The battery is smaller – not that 5,500mAh is small (charging is the same at 120W). And the water resistance is only IP64.

Then there’s the even cheaper Realme GT 6T. The 6.78” LTPO panel (same as the GT) is nice and the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 gets close to the 8s Gen 3. However, we’d rather spend €50 extra and get the higher performance chip and the tele camera (which is missing from the 6T).

The Sony Xperia 1 VII launches next week. The phone brings some notable upgrades, but some things (like the telephoto camera) still need work. The longer software support window is nice – 4 OS updates and 2 extra years of security patches. Still, Holy Moly, Batman, what was Sony thinking with that price? Yes, you get a free pair of Sony WH-1000XM5, which are pretty great over-ear headphones, but the new XM6 are even better.

The Honor 400 and 400 Pro launched last week. The Pro model is powered by last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and boasts a 200MP camera (1/1.4”, OIS) in addition to a 50MP 3x telephoto and 12MP ultra-wide. The phone is rated IP69 and has a 6.7” 120Hz OLED display. The battery for Europe is only 5,300mAh (“only” because other regions get 6,000mAh) and it supports fast wired (100W) and wireless (50W) charging.

The vanilla Honor 400 drops down to a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and an IP65 rating. It also has a slightly smaller 6.55” 120Hz OLED display, but the battery has the same capacity (5,300mAh for Europe) except now with 66W wired-only charging.

The Nothing Phone (3a) is one of the few phones in its price range that has a telephoto camera – 50MP 2x (50mm) is on the short side, but it does a fine job. There’s also a 50MP main (1/1.57”, OIS) and an 8MP ultra-wide. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and a 5,000mAh battery with 50W charging. Its IP64 rating is on the low side for water resistance. Nothing is planning to deliver only 3 OS updates, but the phone will continue receiving security patches for a total of 6 years.

About a month ago, Sony raised the prices of the PlayStation 5 in Europe and several other regions. Then Microsoft and Nintendo announced price hikes for their consoles too. Now Sony has cut the PS5 price back down. So, you can have a PS5 (Slim) for €450.
