Changes of 20 € or more. A row is one shop’s lowest price for the model across its colours and bundles, on that shop’s first day in the month and on 31 Oct. Sale: the shop showed a struck-through price on 31 October 2026. New price: the lower price held for at least 14 days. Too early to tell: the drop came later than that. Sale ended: the price went back to what the shop usually asked. Price increase: every other rise.
Real discounts or not?
On 31 October 2026, 25 offers at the shops here showed a struck-through price. We checked each one against what the same shop charged in the 30 days before the sale began: the test EU price rules set for a "was" price.

Against an advice price7
Too few could be checked yet for a share to say much. Too early to check: the sale began before we had watched the shop for 30 days. Against an advice price: the shop strikes through the maker’s recommended price, which the 30-day rule does not cover. Deals →

How this report is made
- A price is an offer a buyer could order that day. A sold-out day is no price, a failed check keeps the price before it, and a price our checks hold back as unlikely is left out.
- The price change follows each model at the same shop from that shop’s first day in the month to its last, and averages the changes (a geometric mean). A shop we read on fewer than 14 days of the month is left out of it, so a shop new to us never reads as a price drop.
- Only shops based in Germany count, at their own prices. A foreign shop that delivers here is left out, with its estimated delivery and tax.
- The shops in the price change, with the first day we read each: EURONICS (17 Oct) and OTTO (17 Oct). Read too briefly for the price change, but counted in the prices at the end of the month: Amazon.de (21 Oct).
- Our prices here start on 17 October 2026, so this report measures 15 days and not the whole month.
- Made on 1 November 2026 from our own price checks and not changed since, so a figure quoted from it stays true.
