Biggest price drops
Biggest price rises
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, 73 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.
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 →

Ecosystem compatibility
Which smart home platforms a model can be controlled from, as the maker states it. Measured across every model we follow in this edition on 31 October 2026, with the change since last month.
A model whose maker states no such support counts as not supporting it. SmartThings includes every model with Matter, and Siri alone is not HomeKit.
The same measurement, split by the year each model came out. It shows what makers shipped each year, not what is in homes. A year with fewer than 5 models is left out, and the year still running is dashed.

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 the Netherlands 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: bol.com (17 Oct), Coolblue (17 Oct), Expert (17 Oct) and Xiaomi (brand store) (17 Oct). Read too briefly for the price change, but counted in the prices at the end of the month: Amazon.nl (25 Oct), Itec (25 Oct) and Vibrix (brand store) (25 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.
