FULL STORY ======================================================================

Ahead of Black Friday last month, I drew attention to a series of record-setting Amazon deals on three of the best cheap phones in 2023: the Samsung Galaxy A54 , iPhone 13 and Google Pixel 7a . Black Friday itself is now over, but theres good news for anyone still in the market for an affordable smartphone upgrade this holiday season all three of those aforementioned cheap phone deals remain active in one guise or another.

The Galaxy A54, for instance, is still on sale at Amazon in both the US and UK, albeit for a slightly higher price than we saw over Black Friday weekend. Right now, you can pick up Samsungs mid-range champ for $349.99 (down from $449.99) , or 282.50 (down from 399) thats only $25 / 7 more than last weeks record-low Galaxy A54 price, and still a sizeable $100 / 116 saving.

Amazon continues to offer the iPhone 13 for a record-low 549 (down from $599) in the UK, too, and although the retailer no longer sells device-only iPhone models in the US, you can pick up a professionally refurbished model for only $474 (down from $497) . If youd rather spend a little more on a box-fresh model, Apple itself is still selling the iPhone 13 as new for a very reasonable $599 (down from $699) .

The news is less brilliant for prospective Google Pixel 7a shoppers in the
US, as Amazons record-low deal is no longer active , but the retailers lowest-ever Google Pixel 7a deal is still live in the UK (at 379 down from 449) . If you're in the US and willing to spend a little more, the newer Google Pixel 8 is currently available for $549 (down from $699) .

Naturally, none of these (relatively) affordable phones can rival their newer siblings for power, but all three remain more-than-capable handsets thanks to their still-powerful chipsets, impressive displays and decent cameras. Whats more, theyll be supported with software and security updates for at least the next three years (if you go for the Samsung, youll get four years of support, and if you go for the iPhone, youll get five).

iPhone 13

US: was $699 now $599 at Apple
UK: was 599 now 549 at Amazon
The iPhone 13 was already reduced by $100 / 100 following the release of the iPhone 14 last year, but now that the iPhone 15 is out, it's even better value. If you're simply looking for a capable iPhone at a cut price, then
this is the model to go for it's pretty much the same phone as the iPhone
14, but cheaper. Their designs are identical, their cameras are (almost) identical and their chipsets are separated by just one generation which, in Apple terms, means next to nothing. View Deal

Google Pixel 7a

UK: was 449 now 379 at Amazon
The Pixel 7a is no longer on sale in the US, but Amazon continues to offer the phone for a record-low 379 in the UK. With Google's Tensor G2 chip, a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display, dual rear cameras featuring a 64MP wide lens, and great AI features such as Photo Unblur, the Pixel 7a provides an exceptional mobile experience without straining your wallet.
