Amazon Prime Day 2018: best smartphone deals
Looking for a bargain smartphone? Amazon Prime Day’s super deals have made these budget blowers even more affordable, ranging from handsets that cost just over £100 like the Moto G6 Play to mid-rangers that offer premium quality, such as Sony’s spectacular Xperia XA2. Whether you need a cheap phone to survive the harsh conditions of a music festival, or simply refuse to spend the prices that likes of Apple and Samsung demand, there’s no better time to invest in your next portable companion than right now.
Sony Xperia XA2 (save £100)
After slicing a hefty £100 off the price for Amazon Prime Day, Sony’s mid-range smartphone just became a whole lot more attractive. Sure, it has a somewhat outdated design compared to its competitors, but the XA2’s fantastic 23MP camera and long-lasting 3300mAh battery make up for that. Was: £299.00 Now: £199.00
Wileyfox Swift 2 X 32GB (save £99)
At full whack the Wileyfox Swift 2 X was an impressive budget blower. But now – at almost half the price – this is one of the best smartphone bargains available right now if you’re looking to spend as little as possible. Looking for a handset that can handle your Netflix or YouTube session? The Swift 2 X’s sizeable 5.2in is ideal thanks to its Full HD display. And you won’t need to worry about your battery life nose diving into the red zone, as the 3010mAh cell can easily last the entire day. Was: £239.00 Now: £139.99
Honor View 10 (save £80)
Currently ranked 8th in our Top 10 smartphone list, the Honor View 10 was already one of our top recommended budget mid-range phones. But at £340, this smartphone becomes essential for a bargain hunter. Highlights of this handset include a 5.99in 2160×1080 display, a surprisingly great twin-lens rear camera and impressively speedy internals that have Android Oreo running like a dream. Was: £419.99 Now: £339.99
Huawei P Smart (save £55)
One of the best budget options if you fancy a 18:9 screen on your smartphone, the Huawei P Smart represents fantastic value. Made from aluminium, this is no cheaply made plastic affair. It feels like a premium product, with good all-round specs, plus there’s a dual-lens rear camera, although bear in mind that it doesn’t have the best low-light performance. Was: £199.00 Now: £143.99
Moto G6 Play (save £24)
The Moto G6 Play was such a steal on release that we were worried that Motorola might have reconsidered and doubled the price – and to be honest, the G6 Play would still be worth it. Turns out Motorola has actually done the opposite though, reducing the price to an even more affordable £136. OK, so it’s not a huge discount, but you should count yourself lucky you’re getting such an excellent smartphone – with a brilliant battery life and slyish design – for under £150. Was: £159.99 Now: £135.99
