Deals: OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite, Galaxy Unpacked Pre-Reservations, Redmi 13 5G Coming Soon

Last week, we explored various Nord models, including the Nord 3, which was available for ₹20,000. Unfortunately, it’s now out of stock on Amazon. However, you can check out the new OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite, which is priced similarly. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can get an extra ₹1,000 discount, making it even cheaper. Considering that a 12-month Prime membership costs ₹1,500, the discount almost covers the membership fee.

Samsung has officially announced that the next Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on July 10. You can pre-reserve a unit now with a refundable ₹2,000 deposit. By doing so, you can earn rewards worth up to ₹7,000. This offer applies to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, but it also includes new Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Watches.

There is a separate pre-reservation page for the new Galaxy Buds, which offers benefits up to ₹2,300. Currently, only sketches of the phones, buds, and watches are available.

The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra will be released on July 4, ahead of the Z Flip6. While there’s not much to do now, you can visit the landing page to see the phone’s key features.

Xiaomi has been teasing the Redmi 13 5G for some time, and it will be launched on Amazon on July 9. You can visit the landing page for more details. The phone will feature a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, a 5,030mAh battery with 33W fast charging, and glass on both the front and back. It will also have a 108MP camera on the back.

You might also want to check out the Redmi 12 5G from last year. It uses the same Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip and has a 5,000mAh battery with slower 18W charging. The main camera has a 50MP resolution. The 2023 model also features glass on both the front and back.

Another 2023 device is the Redmi Note 13 Pro, which now comes in a bold, new Scarlet Red color.

For this year, the Poco X6 is a 5G phone with a more powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset and a premium 6.67” display with 12-bit colors (1220p+ resolution, 120Hz). The camera setup is 64+8+2MP, which is less impressive, but the 5,100mAh battery supports 67W charging.

The Oppo F27 Pro+ was launched last week. It features a Dimensity 7050 chip for 5G connectivity and a basic 64+2MP camera. The 6.7” 10-bit display is large but not as sharp with its 1080p+ resolution (the refresh rate is 120Hz). The battery is similar, with a 5,000mAh capacity and 67W charging. Despite its high price, the F27 Pro+ has a stylish design and is quite rugged with an IP69 rating. It has also been drop-tested from 1.8m onto concrete.

If you’re looking for an affordable 5G phone, the Poco M6 Pro 5G is available for under ₹10,000 if you use a ₹500 voucher. It has a large 6.79” IPS LCD (1080p+, 90Hz) and the popular Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip. At this price, the 50+2MP camera setup and 5,000mAh battery with 18W charging are expected. However, it does offer UFS 2.2 storage, a microSD slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an IP53 rating. It’s one of the cheapest 5G phones available.
