Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Google Pixel 6 with white Pixel buds: Was £689.99, now £449, Amazon.co.uk
Our technology critic, David Phelan, reviewed the best smartphones in 2022, and, of course, the Google Pixel 6 made the cut. Phelan noted that it’s a great option if you’re looking for a smaller phone, particularly when compared to the Google Pixel 6 pro (was £948.99, now £749.99, Amazon.co.uk), since this model offers the same “flagship capabilities”.
“The software here is pure Android, so it works seamlessly at all times,” he praised. You’ll also find “special extra apps like a recorder, which is perfect for taking the minutes of a meeting, for instance, because it records and transcribes voices in real-time”. The “Android 12 software is already on board here and has cute details, like icons that change colour to match the theme you’ve chosen”.
For this deal, you’ll also get the Google Pixel buds (were £99.99, now £69, Amazon.co.uk) thrown in for free. The earbuds received high praise in our review, with our writer noting that they “integrate seamlessly with Android devices” and “feature Google’s fast pair tech, plus it’s got that fancy real-time translation feature”.
Our tester found that “they felt comfy, they were discreet”, and they liked that they were “designed with pressure-relieving vents for those who get earbud claustrophobia when their lugholes are clogged”.
With a whopping £250 saving, you’ll get the handset and earbuds – thanks, Prime Day.
