Prime Day may be over, but there are still some great offers available with or without Prime.
Right now, if you buy a Galaxy S24+ or S24 Ultra, you’ll get 20% off at checkout. Notably, the Galaxy S24 Ultra also has an 11% discount on the 512GB model, which makes the price of the 512GB model cheaper than the price of the 256GB model. For reference, the 512GB S24 Ultra was £1,050 during the Prime Day sale.
There are no additional discounts on the Samsung Galaxy S24+, only the 20% off that is displayed during the checkout process. This is why I’ve linked both the 12/256GB and 12/512GB versions below. However, with only a £80 difference between the two, we’d recommend going for the 512GB one anyway.
The S24 offer is available to everyone, but this time it’s for Prime subscribers. Use code PRIME14 to get 14% off on Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro.
The Xiaomi 14T comes with the same 6.67-inch 1220p+ 12-bit 144Hz OLED display as its Pro sibling. It is powered by a Dimensity 8300 Ultra and a 5,000mAh battery that can be charged only with a 67W wire. It features a 50MP main camera (1/1.56 inch, OIS), a 50MP 50mm portrait camera (2x), a 12MP ultrawide (15mm), and a 32MP selfie camera.
Xiaomi 14T Pro brings flagship power with Dimensity 9300+ chipset and better charging options (wired 120W, wireless 50W) with 5,000mAh battery. The cameras are also more capable, with a larger 1/1.31-inch 50MP sensor on the main, and a slightly longer 60mm lens (2.6x) on the 50MP tele (the 12MP ultrawide camera and 32MP selfie camera are the same) .
Apple suddenly revamped the iPad mini. The previous model was three years old at this point and was not ready for the computational demands of AI. That’s the main difference: the iPad mini (2024) uses an Apple A17 Pro chip (than last year’s iPhone 15 Pro) and twice the RAM (8GB), so it can support Apple Intelligence.
There are a few other changes, like doubling the base storage to 128GB and adding support for Wi-Fi 6e (up from the usual 6), but that’s about it. Still, there is basically no mini-flagship tablet, just the iPad mini on its own. Please note that tablet shipments will begin on Wednesday.
Amazon has announced its first-ever color Kindle e-book reader. The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition features a 7-inch e-paper display with a pixel density of 300ppi when viewing black and white content and 150ppi when viewing color content. This is great for reading comic books (Comixology is natively supported) and highlighting text in different colors. However, at £270, it’s not cheap.
If you want to stick to the good old black-on-white print, check out the new Kindle Paperwhite. Standard version (16GB) and signed version (32GB) are available. The Signature edition adds wireless charging and a light sensor that automatically adjusts the warm front light. Please note that Colorsoft is only available as Signature edition and has the same features. Paperwhite (including the vanilla version) and Colorsoft are waterproof (IPX8) and feature front lights with adjustable color temperature.
The regular Paperwhite is much cheaper than the Colorsoft, but it’s even cheaper with the new vanilla Kindle. The screen is smaller (6 inches vs. 7 inches) but just as sharp. Both panels have a pixel density of 300ppi and have improved contrast in this generation. The reason to buy a Paperwhite is because of its larger screen and IPX8 rating, but whether these are worth the extra £65 is up to you.
Amazon also upgraded Kindle Scribe. It focuses on reading documents and taking notes using a large 10.2-inch display (300ppi, black and white). We’re adding new AI features that can clean up your handwriting, convert it into digital text, and summarize it into bullet points.
