iPhone deals: thinner design, cheaper OLED, and larger Pro camera setups

Across Apple’s current lineup, Amazon pricing is positioned as significantly below Apple Store pricing, with some models described as hundreds of euros cheaper. One highlighted option is the iPhone 17 Air, called out for being exceptionally slim and light, at 5.64 millimeters and 165 grams. It’s paired with a 6.5-inch OLED display running at 120Hz and an A19 Pro chip, while the rear camera is a single 48-megapixel sensor. The article also notes discounts of up to 29%—up to 350 euros—on this model.

If you want to stay closer to the lowest tier, the iPhone 17e is presented as a cost-focused alternative with a smaller 6.1-inch OLED panel, the A19 chip, and a 48-megapixel main camera. The same entry model is framed as covering everyday needs without major trade-offs.

Stepping up, the iPhone 17 is described as costing about 200 euros more than the 17e. It uses a 6.3-inch OLED display with up to 120Hz, plus a dual-camera layout: a 48-megapixel main camera and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera.

For players and creators who prioritize camera capability, the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are positioned at the top. Both are said to use the A19 Pro chip and feature three 48-megapixel cameras, including a telephoto lens intended for longer focal length shots. The Pro model keeps a more compact 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max goes larger at 6.9 inches and is also credited with up to 37 hours of video playback.

Galaxy value: from a low-cost 5G entry to Ultra-level zoom and S Pen

On the Android side, Samsung’s Galaxy lineup is similarly framed as strongly represented in Amazon’s best-selling picks, with deals beginning around the 168-euro range. The lowest-cost model mentioned is the Galaxy A17 5G at 167.99 euros, described as offering a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 90Hz, a 5,000mAh battery, and a 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization. The article notes that performance, the ultra-wide camera, and video quality are more basic compared to higher models.

Moving up, the Galaxy A37 5G keeps the 6.7-inch AMOLED display but upgrades the refresh rate to 120Hz. It’s also described as adding more performance, IP68 protection, and faster charging up to 45 watts.

The Galaxy A57 5G is presented as the more premium option within this A-series selection. It retains the 6.7-inch, 120Hz display, but differentiates itself with a stronger Exynos 1680 chip and a better 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, making it the “highest-quality” pick in the group.

Beyond the midrange, the Galaxy S26 is framed as compact for its class with a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED display, more power, and a triple-camera array that includes a telephoto lens with three times optical zoom.

At the top end, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is described with a large 6.9-inch display, a 200-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide, and two additional tele cameras supporting three-times and five-times optical zoom. It also includes an integrated S Pen and is positioned as the most fully equipped option for users who want minimal compromises across display, camera, and performance.
