Google Pixel 9 Pro XL

Let's start off strong with one of the newest phones on the market. While the promotional material can be a little confusing, we confirmed that the "Overtrade Bonus" has now been combined with the cashback promotion, and anybody looking to purchase a Pixel 9 Pro XL from the Challenger booth (301) at level 3 will receive a direct discount of S$460. This means that a 256GB Pixel 9 Pro XL is going for just $1,279, down from S$1,739. This is a huge discount considering that the phone just officially started going on sale here in Singapore on 22 August.
Stay tuned for our review, but you can check out our article here on what to expect from the phone.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

In case stock Android isn't to your liking, the 2024 Samsung flagship smartphone is also going at a discount. We rated the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra highly enough to give it the Editors Choice award when we tried it earlier this year, so getting a discount on the price is just icing on the top. You'll be able to purchase the 256GB model of the Galaxy S24 Ultra at S$1,728, which is a S$200 discount from the RRP of S$1,928.
If you don't require the absolute largest and greatest, there's also the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ models, which are going at S$1,188 for the 256GB model of the Galaxy S24 and S$1,428 for the 256GB model of the Galaxy S24+, representing a S$100 discount for both. You'll be able to find these phones at the Challenger booth (301) at level 3.

OPPO Find N3

Need more screen real estate for your mobile apps? The OPPO Find N3 is a book-style foldable that we like very much for its refined take on the design, as well as quality hardware like a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and one of the least noticeable creases on the folding inner display. At a discounted price of S$2,099 down from S$2,421 at Challenger's booth (301) on level 3, it's a great option to consider.

Even though Apple is on the verge of announcing the upcoming iPhone 16 series, it doesn't make the iPhone 15 series any less good. With its durable titanium chassis, USB-C port and excellent cameras, these are highly capable phones and for people who have been waiting for a discount, your time has come. The iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB is selling at S$1,730 at the Challenger booth (318) on level 3, which marks a S$287 discount from its retail price!

ZTE Blade A52

If you have time to queue and you want the absolute best deal of Comex 2024, you should come early and queue for this deal at the Atrix booth (8111) at level 4. The ZTE Blade A52 is going for just S$9.90, down from the usual price of S$189!
Even though it's an incredible deal, it is also limited to just 100 sets a day, so if you absolutely want it, you'll have to come early and rush to be one of the first in line when the queue starts at 12pm. There's also a limit of one unit per person.

For something a little more portable, Sonos' very first high-end headphones is selling at S$629 at Challenger's booth (309) at level 3, which is a S$70 discount from the RRP of S$699. With great active noise cancellation (ANC), spatial audio support, and the ability to be used as an output by other Sonos speakers, this is an ideal solution for people who already own a Sonos ecosystem and want to watch shows on their home entertainment setup at night without disturbing the rest of your households.

This might be a slightly older speaker, but it's still a nice speaker to have at home, both for the sound and the aesthetics. With ambient lighting, a 100W speaker and omni-directional audio dispersion, the Aura Studio 3 is now going at a discounted price of S$269, down from S$409. You'll be able to find the speaker at the Challenger booth (309) on level 3.

Audio Technica's flagship true wireless earbuds, the ATH-TWX9, are going for a nice discount at the Challenger Booth (309) on level 3, at S$298 down from S$399.

The Aurvana Ace series from Creative has been met with praise all around thanks to the new solid-state microelectromechanical systems (MEMs) drivers inside, and the Aurvana Ace 2 is now discounted to S$169 (and yes, cheaper than what their brochure states), which is a decent discount from the RRP of S$219. With ANC, support for aptX Lossless and up to 24 hours total of playback time, these true wireless earbuds are worth a try if you're headed down. You can find the Creative Aurvana Ace 2 at the Challenger booth (309) on level 3.

Pro Tip: Creative's online store sells it for S$149 now, but you can ask the booth to match the online store price - and yes, we've checked that it's possible.

iPhone users, you're absolutely missing out if you don't have a pair of AirPods. The AirPods Pro 2 is the brand's current flagship true wireless earbuds, and with the new upgrade to a USB-C charging port, it's even more of a no-brainer to recommend it. At a discounted price of S$275, down from S$365.70, it's an excellent opportunity to pick up a pair to experience the ANC and fantastic Transparency mode that they're known for. You'll be able to pick these up at Challenger's booth (318) on level 3.
