The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max went on sale this week in Germany and 64 other countries, priced at €1,450 and €1,600 respectively. Apple discontinued older Pro models, but third-party retailers still offer the iPhone 17 Pro at reduced prices—down from €1,300. New 18 Pro models feature Apple's first 2nm A20 Pro chipset, smaller Face Time camera punch hole, variable aperture, and faster charging (50% in 15 minutes). The Galaxy S26 is €370 off, thinner and lighter than the iPhone 18 Pro, with a 4,300mAh battery, though its cameras are less advanced. The S26 Ultra gets €450 off and includes a 200MP main camera, 50MP 5x periscope, and 60W wired charging.

Xiaomi's 17T and 17T Pro offer modest discounts. The 17T has a 6.59" screen, 6,500mAh battery, and 67W charging, while the 17T Pro adds a 6.83" display, 7,000mAh battery with 100W charging, and larger camera sensors.

Redmi Note 17 Pro models are discounted €200 and €150, with Prime Student members getting 15% off. However, they use mid-range Snapdragon chipsets and lack 200MP cameras from previous generations. The Redmi 17 and Note 17 feature large displays but modest specifications.
