Last week, the OnePlus 15R 512GB had a £100 discount, which made it cheaper than the 256GB version (since that one was at MSRP). Now there’s also an additional £20 discount available at checkout – it’s not much, but the phone only just launched.
With the extra discount, the 15R is now £40 cheaper than the Poco F8 Ultra. The Poco still has things going for it like the faster Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset (vs. 8 Gen 5 on the OnePlus). The Poco F8 Ultra also has a better camera setup with a larger 50MP main (1/1.31” vs. 1/1.56”), a higher resolution ultra-wide (50MP vs. 8MP) and a 50MP 5x/115mm periscope (vs. no tele camera at all).
On the flip side, OnePlus 15R’s larger 7,400mAh battery (vs. 6,550mAh) gives it more endurance (21:49h Active Use Score vs. a respectable 18:52h). The Poco is faster to charge (39 min to full vs. 54 min for the OnePlus) and has 50W wireless charging too. Check out last week’s post for a Poco F8 Pro deal.
The Poco M8 and M8 Pro both launched in the second week of 2026. The vanilla model pairs a 6.77” OLED display (12-bit, 120Hz) with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 (plus a microSD slot) and a 5,520mAh battery with 45W charging. It’s essentially a Redmi Note 15 without the 108MP camera – said Redmi Note 15 costs £200 on Amazon UK. The Poco M8 does come with £30 of Amazon Credit, but we’d still go with the Redmi Note.
Then there’s the Poco M8 Pro. This one is a Redmi Note 15 Pro+ variant without the 200MP camera. The 50MP 1/1.55” sensor is better than what’s inside the vanilla M8 (a 50MP 1/2.88” sensor), but it’s not much either way. The M8 Pro has better water resistance than the M8 (IP68 vs. IP65), a better Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset (vs. 6 Gen 3), and a larger 6,500mAh battery with 100W charging (vs. 5,520mAh 45W). Do have a serious look at the Redmi Note 15 Pro+, though, it’s only £50 more on Amazon.
The Pixel 10, 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are on sale with an additional £100 discount that applies at checkout. The Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL are powered by the Tensor G5 and have the same camera setup – 50MP main (1/1.31”), 48MP 5x/113mm periscope and 48MP ultra-wide. However, the XL has a bigger display (6.8” vs. 6.3”) and battery (5,200mAh vs. 4,870mAh) with faster charging (45W/25W wired/wireless vs. 30W/15W).
The Pixel 10 is the same size as the 10 Pro with a 6.3” display (though it’s a lower resolution 1080p+ non-LTPO panel) and uses the same Tensor G5 chipset. The battery is a tad bigger at 4,970mAh and has the same 30W/15W charging support. For the first year, it has a telephoto camera, a 10.8MP 5x/112mm module. However, the main was downgraded to a small 48MP 1/2” sensor and the ultra-wide has a lower resolution 13MP sensor. Check out our versus article for a more detailed look.
Even with the extra £100 discount at checkout, the Pixel 10 is £200 more expensive than the Pixel 9. The older model is paired with a free 45W charger. While its Tensor G4 is slower than the G5, neither is a great chipset. Also, the 2024 model has a proper 50MP 1/1.31” main camera and a 48MP ultra-wide. There’s no dedicated telephoto lens, however. While its battery is smaller by 270mAh, the older Pixel 9 actually lasts longer – 13:05h Active Use Score vs. 12:08h.
