The best smartphone deals during Black Week
Throughout November and leading up to Black Friday, we’re regularly updating our guides. However, some offers may become victims of their success and expire quickly. When possible, we replace out-of-stock products with equivalent offers; otherwise, they are removed from our recommendations.
The Google Pixel 9 goes to €745
Launched in August 2024, the Google Pixel 9 is on sale for Black Week. On PCcomponente, it is offered at €745 instead of €899.
Pixels are Google’s spearhead. With this model, Google has renewed its recipe with a compact format and a more premium design, reminiscent of the iPhone. Its 6.3-inch OLED screen offers vivid colors and decent brightness, although it lacks LTPO adaptive refresh (we have constant 120 Hz). With its dual camera module with two 50 and 48 Mpx sensors, this new generation still excels on the photo side.
This year, Google’s photo software even benefits from some improvements thanks to Gemini artificial intelligence, particularly for retouching. Its Tensor G4 processor is more than up to the task for the majority of tasks, but it can struggle on some demanding video games at high settings. Regardless, this model remains a very good option. If you need more power, know that the Pro version is also on sale for Black Week, at €999 at Fnac.
The iPhone 14 Plus is less than €700
The iPhone 14 Plus is not new, but this generation is still up to par in 2024, especially if you are looking for a smartphone capable of lasting two days on a single charge. In our opinion, it is one of the best options today for those who do not want to spend four figures on a latest generation smartphone. Currently, for Black Week, it is on sale for under €700 on Fnac.
Why is this generation still relevant? The 13 recently disappeared from the brand’s catalog, which makes the 14 the most affordable recent iPhone (excluding SE, the renewal of which is expected in 2025) Its large 6.7-inch screen makes the difference for watching videos or play games. Under the hood, the A15 Bionic chip does not flinch even in demanding applications. In terms of photography, he takes beautiful photos, even if the generations that followed marked a real break.
In short, he remains good at doing everything. At this price, it’s an option to consider if you have an iPhone 11 or earlier model that’s starting to wear out.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G is at €203 for Black Week
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13, in its 256 GB version, benefits from a nice reduction for Black Week, since it is priced at €205 instead of €299. Usually considered one of the best options under €300, it is necessarily even more interesting under €200.
This model is equipped with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Under the hood, we find a MediaTek Dimensity 6080 processor, which is sufficiently efficient for most everyday uses, including light games. With its 256 GB of storage, it has room for those who like to accumulate photos, videos and applications without worrying about the available space.
Speaking of photos, it has a 108MP main sensor, which is rare in this price segment. It delivers convincing shots in good light. However, in low light conditions, the result is more mixed. Finally, its autonomy is a real asset: thanks to its 5,000 mAh battery and its 33 W fast charging, it can last a whole day without problem and recharge quickly if necessary.
OnePlus Nord 4 drops below €500 for Black Friday Week
Launched last July, the OnePlus Nord 4 benefits from a great promotion for Black Week. On the brand’s official website, it is priced at €479, compared to the usual €599. Here we find a mid-range model that tends towards the high end.
Its 6.74-inch AMOLED screen at 120 Hz offers good fluidity with beautiful colors. This is the most boosted version with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. That is, you can unsubscribe from the cloud, because there is little chance of filling the phone with normal use. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor is reliable and cool, which makes it particularly suitable for playing demanding games, even if there are better ones.
On the photo side, the OnePlus Nord 4 chooses simplicity with a dual rear sensor (50 Mpx + 8 Mpx) The photos are rather convincing in broad daylight, but in night mode, it lacks naturalness. Its autonomy ensured by the 5,500 mAH battery allows for one day of use and recharges very quickly thanks to its 100 W USB-C port (1% to 100% in 30 minutes, depending on the manufacturer).
Xiaomi 14 is less than €600
Launched in March 2024, the Xiaomi 14 is heavily promoted at Darty for Black Week. It is offered at €599 instead of €1,099.
It runs on the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip supported by 12 GB of RAM, which allows it to be comfortable with all demanding applications – but above all to place itself at the same level as other flagships like the iPhone 15 or the Samsung S24. Its triple sensor (50 + 50 + 32 Mpx) designed by Leica allows you to enjoy very beautiful photos overall. However, the ultra-wide-angle has room for improvement, and the portrait mode lacks finesse in clipping. Its 4,610 mAh battery ensures comfortable autonomy for a full day. Once empty, it recharges quickly thanks to its 90W USB-C port (50 W wireless).
