Best Prime Early Access phone deals in detail

Save up to £223 on Google Pixel smartphones

Thanks to the recent arrival of the Google Pixel 7 — and the Prime Early Access sale — you can now save a bundle on the whole Pixel 6 range.

Amazingly, the standard Pixel 6 bundled with Pixel Buds A-Series is £223.99 cheaper right now on Amazon.

We’ve had hands-on time with all three of these phones and rate them highly. The 6a is the budget option and feels a little cheaper, but is still a great handset. It scored four stars in our full Pixel 6a review and was highly-praised for its compact design and slick user experience.

Across the board, these phones are powered by the Google Tensor chip and it makes for a very smooth, powerful smartphone experience. Bringing Google hardware and Google software together is a great partnership for fans of Android phones.

Save £599 on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 — plus more Samsung deals

""

Similarly to the Google Pixel succession detailed above, Samsung has just released the fourth generation of its Z Series foldable phones. That leaves the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 in less demand. They’re both great phones which our experts enjoyed using — and one of the few issues with the handsets was that they were overpriced in some respects. Now, thanks to the Prime Early Access sale, that’s less of an issue.

You can save a huge £599 on the Fold 3, which is down from £1,599 to £999. That’s the same price as the new model Flip, the Flip 4. So, if you’d like the larger screen of the Fold but don’t want to pay the huge price, then you can get it a little more cheaply here.

There are also some cheaper options in the sale from Samsung, including the £249 Samsung Galaxy A53, which didn’t feel over-priced when it launched at £399.

Save up to £120 on iPhone 13 Pro Max

""

Here’s another headline-grabbing smartphone that’s seeing its price slashed during the Prime Early Access sale — the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

You’ll notice the trend here. Last year’s phones are seeing discounts because newer models have taken their place. In all of the cases outlined though, these remain fantastic smartphones.

The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max handsets really stood out for us when we tested them last year, with both grabbing rare five star reviews. Check out our full iPhone 13 Pro Max review for more information.
