Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: the premium smartphone par excellence
Unveiled last February, the Galaxy S24 Ultra benefited, during the French Days, from a nice 37% discount bringing its price from 1,469 to 931.58 euros with the promo code FRCD50. If you are looking for a high-end smartphone, this model is a safe bet.
Considered one of the most efficient smartphones on the market, it ticks almost all the boxes and has also obtained the excellent score of 9/10 during tests carried out by Frandroid.
His strong point? A versatility that allows it to adapt to all uses. Its bright 6.8-inch QHD+ 120 Hz AMOLED screen offers flawless fluidity and comfort, even in direct sunlight. The power is there, unsurprisingly, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and its 12 GB of RAM. A performance which in no way affects the endurance of this smartphone, capable of lasting more than a day, even with intensive use.
Photo-wise, nothing is missing on this model which features:
- a 200-megapixel main sensor with optical image stabilization;
- a second 12-megapixel sensor for ultra-wide-angle shots;
- two 10 and 50 megapixel sensors backed by telephoto lenses zooming x3 and x5 optically.
To complete this already solid configuration, the Korean brand has equipped its smartphone with particularly advanced image processing, responsible for bringing even more intensity, brightness and sharpness to the photos and videos thus taken. The icing on the cake is that practical and innovative features that use AI are also on the program, such as visual search, real-time translation of your telephone conversations, or even help with writing your messages.
For all these reasons, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is the offer not to be missed during these AliExpress French Days.
Pixel 8 Pro: more compact, but just as powerful
Another flagship model in the high-end segment, the Pixel 8 Pro is also benefiting from a promotion on AliExpress. Until May 7, this premium camera phone made official last October is available at only 785.10 euros instead of 1099 euros with the promo code FRCD50a nice discount of 29%.
Particularly elegant with its pastel colors, its rounded polished aluminum frame and its matte glass back, this smartphone is especially praised for its photography prowess. Its trio of 50, 48 and 48 megapixel sensors with optical stabilization make the Pixel 8 Pro “one of the best photophones on the market. Pro mode is the icing on the cake that we’ve been waiting for for a long time», as reported by the test carried out by Frandroid.
Another nice point is that this smartphone comes with a wide range of photo editing features. In just a few clicks, AI allows you to enhance all your photos, remove objects or people, and even obtain a group photo where everyone looks their best. Note that such possibilities would be impossible without Google’s Tensor G3 chip and the associated 12 GB of RAM.
The last major advantage of the Pixel 8 Pro: the display quality offered by its bright 6.7-inch LTPO QHD+ OLED screen.
Galaxy A54 5G: the best value for money during these French Days
If you are looking for a more affordable smartphone, AliExpress is offering the excellent Samsung Galaxy A54 5G during the French Days at only 265.25 euros instead of 425 euros with the promo code FRCD30.
Launched in March 2023, this smartphone rated 9/10 by Frandroid constitutes a good alternative to premium models. Already, the Galaxy A54 5G benefits from a sleek design that almost looks exactly like the Galaxy S24. In addition, equipped with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ 120 Hz screen, the Galaxy A54 5G favors good display quality, with, according to the Frandroid test, “fantastic brightness, as well as colors, if you want some, here you go“.
The Korean brand has also taken care of the photo part and opted for a triple rear module. The latter consists of a first 50-megapixel sensor with optical stabilization, a second of 12-megapixels for ultra-wide-angle shots and a third of 5-megapixels for macro.
To top it all off, the Galaxy A54 5G can last up to 2 days on a full charge thanks to its large 5000 mAh battery.
Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G: a 200 megapixel camera for less than €300
How can we talk about the French Days without mentioning the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G and its monumental 200 megapixel photo sensor? Exceptionally available at 273.10 euros instead of 469.90 euros with the promo code FRCD30this camera phone launched last January is rather surprising.
To stand out, Xiaomi’s smartphone relies on its photo sensor, which is extremely rare, including in the high-end segment. Especially since this 200 megapixel sensor is here associated with a double optical and digital stabilizer, as well as two other lenses of 8 and 2 megapixels for ultra wide-angle photos and macro. The set also allows you to film up to 4K. Difficult to find a better photo setup for less than 300 euros.
The rest of the technical sheet is just as successful, the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G featuring a 1.5 K and 120 Hz AMOLED screen of 6.67 inches. It is also the very first in the series to be curved. And to optimize your multimedia and gaming sessions, Xiaomi has equipped it with a dual Dolby Atmos speaker, a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 -Ultra SoC, and 8 GB of RAM.
Xiaomi also promises good endurance for its Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G, thanks to a large 5000 mAh battery. In addition, its 120W fast charging allows it to go from 0 to 100% in just 19 minutes. This is an undeniable asset for the most dedicated users.
An external battery to accompany these smartphones?
Even if all these smartphones are relatively durable, in the event of an unforeseen event or emergency, it is always good to be able to count on an external battery. And that’s good! For the French Days AliExpress is offering a 20,000 mAh Baseus charging station at only 63.70 euros instead of 110 euros with the promo code FRCD03.
This brand is a reference in mobile accessories and allows you to fully recharge your mobile more than 4 times through this small box. Essential for van trips, this external battery will also save you from investing in adapters for your future weekends abroad. Small bonus: it supports 100 W fast charging.
