Netherlands reacts to OnePlus exit with budget smartphone picks and €1 SIM‑only deal

OnePlus has withdrawn from the European market, prompting Dutch tech outlets to list affordable replacements. The Poco F8 Ultra is highlighted for its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 6.9‑inch OLED display, 50 MP triple‑camera system and 100 W fast charging. Other suggested models include the Realme GT 8 Pro with a 7 000 mAh battery and enhanced telephoto lens, and the Xiaomi 17T Pro powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip.

At the same time, telecom retailer Belsimpel is promoting a limited‑time Magic Monday offer from 50+ Mobiel, providing any data‑bundle for just €1 per month during the first twelve months. Bundles range from 5 GB to 75 GB, with unlimited calls and SMS. After the introductory year, standard monthly rates resume, resulting in an average cost of about €4.25 per month over a two‑year period.
