Retailers are slashing prices on a wide range of top tech in the 2022 January sales. Our team has been searching high and low to find you the best deals, with savings to be made on Apple, Samsung, and many more top brands.

The January sales always offer great opportunities to save on tech – and there are plenty of deals still live. The experts at RadioTimes.com have been speaking to retailers and researching the best deals available, to help you save your hard-earned cash.

If you’re in the market for a new phone it’s a good time to pick one up, with deals on the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and Google Pixel 6, among others. All three phones impressed us during testing, with the £949 iPhone 13 Pro bagging a rare five-star rating in our full iPhone 13 Pro review. We were also impressed by the latest additions to the Google Pixel family, with our reviewers dishing out a four-and-a-half star rating in our full Google Pixel 6 Pro review.

Here is our pick of the best deals from this year’s January sales, which includes a huge £150 off this 43-inch Samsung TV.

When do the January sales end?

The January sales started on New Year’s Day, with a host of bargains being made available to eager shoppers. But when do they end?

This varies from retailer to retailer, with some offering a few days of reduced prices while others slash price-tags for the whole month. As a result, if you see a deal you like, it’s best to seize the opportunity. That is, as long as you’re sure you can afford the item in question and it’s responsible to purchase it.

O2, Sky Mobile, and Three are among the providers to have announced extensive January sales offerings. We’ve listed some of the best below and included some ongoing deals from other providers too.

Interestingly SMARTY claims that its prices are so good it “doesn’t need a sale” and the SIM-only deal below is fantastic value. We also like this plan because it works on a one-month rolling basis, so you can cancel at any time and keep your flexibility.
