Apple iPhone 16

Even premium and recent smartphones are not immune to promotions during the Black Friday preview! Announced barely two months ago, the Apple iPhone 16 is already benefiting from almost 200 euros reduction! Even though there are only a few changes compared to the iPhone 15, this smartphone is still a good student in terms of screen, performance and photos.

The strong points of the Apple iPhone 16

• Few compromises compared to the iPhone 16 Pro
• A powerful A18 chip
• Well-finished smartphone with bright screen

Instead of 969.99 euros, the Apple iPhone 16 (128 GB) is now available on sale at 809.99 euros in its global version on Rakuten. It is also available in a European version at 839.99 euros.

Samsung Galaxy S24

A complete Samsung pack with the latest smartphone and connected watch models, what are the people asking for? Between Galaxy AI and its seven-year follow-up, it’s a benchmark in the high-end environment. Not to mention the design and the screen which are always in the spotlight at Samsung. However, we regret that we moved from Snapdragon to Exynos in terms of the SoC.

The strong points of the Samsung Galaxy S24

• A compact smartphone with a very bright screen
• 7 years of Android update
• The full interface and Galaxy AI

Instead of a total of 1,238 euros, the Samsung Galaxy S24 (128 GB) and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 are available together for 869 euros at RED by SFR thanks to a subsequent reimbursement of 100 euros. You can also reduce the bill by trading in your old phone and the trade-in bonus of 50 euros.

Xiaomi 13T Pro

Straddling the mid-range and premium, the Xiaomi 13T Pro is a great proposition if you want a powerful device without breaking the bank too much. A smartphone that ticks the right boxes without standing out too much, but we don’t ask for more when it appears with a 300 euro reduction before Black Friday.

The strong points of the Xiaomi 13T Pro

• A near-perfect 144 Hz OLED screen
• Good performance with its MediaTek Dimensity 9200+
• A versatile camera with a good 50mm telephoto lens
• 120W charging

Instead of 999 euros, the Xiaomi 13T Pro (1 TB) is now available on sale at 699.99 euros on Boulanger.

Xiaomi Poco F5 Pro

Another Xiaomi smartphone straddling the mid-range and premium. The Xiaomi Poco F5 Pro impresses for its value for money. With its screen, its performance and its autonomy, it has nothing to be ashamed of in the face of other models that would be twice as expensive as it. Especially since during the Black Friday preview, it is available for less than 350 euros.

The strong points of the Xiaomi Poco F5 Pro

• The performance of its Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1
• Battery life of almost two days and 67 W charging
• AMOLED screen in QHD+ refreshed at 120 Hz

Instead of 579.90 euros, the Xiaomi Poco F5 Pro is now available on sale at 349.90 euros on Amazon.

Samsung Galaxy A55

Flagship of Samsung’s mid-range while waiting for the Galaxy A56, the Samsung Galaxy A55 further reduces the gap between the Galaxy A and the Galaxy S. A safe value, especially if you are looking for a good smartphone for less than 500 euros. It’s currently worth less than 300.

The strong points of the Samsung Galaxy A55

• A design and screen worthy of premium
• A big improvement in performance
• A One UI experience on par with the Galaxy S

Instead of 499 euros, the Samsung Galaxy A55 (128 GB) is now available on promotion for 289.99 euros on Cdiscount.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G

Here is Xiaomi’s latest midship killer. The Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G was released at the start of the year with four other smartphones in order to compete with Samsung and its Galaxy A. Between its 1.5K AMOLED screen, its performance, its 200 Mpx photo sensor and its battery with fast charging, it has quite a few arguments to make.

The strong points of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G

• A 1.5K AMOLED screen refreshed at 120 Hz
• The performance of its Snapdragon 7s Gen 2
• A 5,100 mAh battery and 67 W charging

Instead of 449.90 euros, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G (512 GB) is today available on sale at 301.90 euros in the official store thanks to a Black Friday coupon.

Also note that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G (256 GB) is also available on promotion for 179.99 euros on Cdiscount, instead of 349 euros.

Motorola Edge 40 Neo

After crossing the desert in Europe, Motorola intends to return to the forefront and take third place on the podium from Xiaomi. Which amounts to nesting in the entry and mid-range segments, and the Lenovo subsidiary is counting on it with its Motorola Edge Neo. Even though it was released last year, the Motorola Edge 40 Neo remains an effective smartphone for many uses.

The strong points of the Motorola Edge 40 Neo

• A careful design
• A pOLED panel refreshed at 144 Hz
• A MediaTek Dimensity 7030 coupled with 12 GB of RAM

Instead of 399 euros at its launch, the Motorola Edge 40 Neo is now available on sale at 239 euros at RED by SFR. Please note that you can still lower the bill by trading in your old phone, knowing that there is a trade-in bonus of 70 euros.

Samsung Galaxy A35

In this price segment, the Samsung Galaxy A35 is probably the most balanced smartphone you can find. Certainly, the charging is slow and we cannot escape the bloatwaresbut the Galaxy A35 offers a software experience like those found on the Galaxy S and has a proven track record of performance.

The strong points of the Samsung Galaxy A35

• Decent design and screen
• More than convincing performance for its price
• A very appreciable software experience

Instead of 399 euros, the pack with a Samsung Galaxy A35 and a Samsung Galaxy Fit3 is now available on sale at 339.99 euros on Boulanger.

Motorola G24 Power

Motorola’s entry-level smartphone, the G24 Power stands out only with its 6,000 mAh battery capable of lasting two days or more. It also benefits from an Android 14 interface that is pleasant to use on a daily basis. On the other hand, don’t count on its performance, nor on its HD definition LCD screen.

The strong points of the Motorola G24 Power

• A huge 6,000 mAh battery
• Clean interface under Android 14
• A 50 Mpx main sensor that does the job

Instead of 299 euros, the pack with the Motorola G24 Power and Moto Buds headphones is now available on sale at 169.99 euros on Boulanger.

Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G

For the Black Friday preview, Boulanger is offering a complete pack around the Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G. Even though it is an entry-level smartphone, it has some arguments to put forward such as its 5,000 mAh battery and its IP53 certification. We find it with the full range to protect it (shell + screen protection) as well as a pair of Xiaomi Redmi Buds 4 Lite to listen to your best playlists on repeat.

The strong points of the Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G

• A 6.79-inch LCD screen refreshed at 90 Hz
• A Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 for performance
• A 5,000 mAh battery with 18 W charging

Instead of 249.99 euros, the pack with the Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G, a case, a screen protector and a pair of Xiaomi Redmi Buds 4 Lite is today available on sale at 159.99 euros on Boulanger.

Samsung Galaxy A15 4G

Despite clear improvements compared to the Samsung Galaxy A14, such as the arrival of the OLED screen and four years of software support, the Samsung Galaxy A15 only makes a presence in the entry-level segment. Competition with certain Chinese players like Xaomi is too strong in this environment, but this smartphone has a good base of business.

The strong points of the Samsung Galaxy A15 4G

• A 90 Hz OLED screen and beautiful finishes
• One UI with 4 years of Android update
• Correct autonomy

Instead of 219 euros, the Samsung Galaxy A15 4G is now available on promotion for 134.99 euros on Cdiscount.
