Samsung Galaxy S7 vs. Galaxy A5 (2016): Bargain bin

Cheaper price, but just as good? Companies usually push their premier product hard, but that leaves other models slightly overlooked. The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016), for example, is in the shadow of the Galaxy S7 and its massive marketing campaign.
Their price difference is not quite double as in Samsung"s portfolio, Samsung"s A-series is second only to the Galaxy S lineup, but it offers compelling alternatives at a competitive price.
Both phones deliver the trademark of a premium Samsung phone – an amazing Super AMOLED display. The two phones even have fairly similar designs (it"s entirely subjective which one looks better) and both are fully equipped for Samsung Pay.
The list goes on – cameras with OIS and bright apertures, large batteries in slim bodies, the bodies themselves are built with glass on a metal frame. The list goes on until it hits a snag, namely the processing power.
With only a Snapdragon 615 or Exynos 7580 (both with just 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage)..

Xiaomi Mi Note 2 vs. Samsung Galaxy S7 edge: Bargain bin

Cheaper, but just as good? A third installment is due in our Bargain bin series that aims to establish whether you"re better off shelling top-dollar for a current big-name flagship or you"d be just as fine saving a few notes and opting for a more affordable alternative. This time, it"s a rather specific match-up that doesn"t quite live up to the "half-price" label, but there still is a considerable price difference, and it makes sense on another level.
Meet the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. We came up with this one while scrolling through Chinese online retailers (like we usually do in our spare time, what do you mean not everyone does it?!), and realized that not only can the Galaxy S7 edge be quite expensive there, but also its prices vary wildly between sellers, color options, moon phase, and whatnot.
We found out that you can get an S7 edge for CNY 4,800 ($660) if you"re not after one of the fancier color options. The Mi Note ..

OnePlus 3T vs. Google Pixel XL: Bargain bin

Half the price, but just as good? Episode 2 of our Bargain bin comparisons pits the Google Pixel XL against the OnePlus 3T. The first Phone by Google versus the Flagship killer, generation 3.5. The droid priced to match the iPhone against a high-end phone that won"t break your bank.
If there ever was a perfect match for this series – this is it. They"ve both got the latest and greatest chipset, a 5.5-inch AMOLEDs, aluminum bodies, vanilla Android, even their battery capacities are similar. And the price premium? The Pixel XL would easily cost you 2x the price of the OnePlus 3T.
Admittedly, there are aspects where some difference in class can be observed. For example, the 3T"s display resolution is FullHD, while the Pixel XL sports a VR-suitable QHD panel. Google"s phone is also running the latest Android 7.1 Nougat, while the 3T is still on good ol" Marshmallow, though an update is already in the works.
But in other areas, the 3T is actually superior (at lea..
