As holiday shopping kicks into high gear, Amazon is offering substantial discounts on top-of-the-line smartphones from Samsung and Google, perfect for wrapping up your gift list in time for New Year’s celebrations.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 is currently $200 off, as is the Google Pixel 9, with both devices enjoying a substantial discount. Which suggests that the prices of the 128GB models are consistent. If you’re unsure about which option is healthier for your needs, consider consulting with our experts to gain a comprehensive understanding.
Although the Pixel may lack a telephoto camera and exhibit decreased performance, its primary and ultra-wide-angle lenses outperform, coupled with an extended battery lifespan.
The forthcoming Google Pixel 9 Pro will likely showcase a significant departure. The telephoto module boasts an impressive 48MP resolution and a 113mm focal length, significantly outpacing the Galaxy’s 10MP, 67mm offering. While processing power remains consistent across all Pixel 9 models, leveraging the same Tensor G4 processor, the significant disparity in RAM capacity is undeniable, with the Pixel boasting double the memory.
While there’s also talk of a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, this behemoth of a phone boasts a 6.8-inch screen and a substantial 5,060mAh battery, seemingly targeting the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra as its chief competitor.
Let’s shift our focus to tablets next. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+, currently discounted by $350, starts at $1,000.
The device features a 12.4-inch slate with an IP68 rating, offering enhanced protection against dust and water. Its power source is the Dimensity 9300+, which replaces the conventional Snapdragon processor.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Extreme offers an impressive display expansion, boasting a 14.6-inch screen with a 120Hz OLED panel, allowing for a more immersive experience. At roughly the size of a laptop, this device is likely to find a home on your lap, especially when paired with the optional keyboard cover ($160).
You won’t be able to go smaller, though, not yet in the Tab S10 era. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 remains a rounded device, an 11-inch tablet unchanged from last year’s model, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. While the 8/128GB variant is currently available, it’s worth noting that while the RAM cannot be upgraded, users can expand their storage capacity using a microSD card.
