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.
Your support makes all the difference.The Amazon Prime Early Access Sale has finally arrived. It’s the second major sales event hosted by the online retailer this year, and shoppers can expect to see huge discounts on their favourite home and kitchen appliances, Apple devices, laptops and Amazon devices.
There are even generous savings to be had on smartphones as well. Of course, we’ve spotted plenty of deals on iPhones, but if you’re looking for an Android device that’s affordable, you’ve come to the right place.
There are numerous Android smartphones on sale. Google’s own flagship product, the Pixel 6 (Was £698.99, now £475, Amazon.co.uk), has had a decent price slash, as has Samsung’s flip 3 (£949, now £749, Amazon.co.uk). If those still seem a bit steep, then Samsung’s own entry-level model, is also on sale, with a generous £150 saving.
Samsung Galaxy A53 128GB white: Was £399, now £249, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly smartphone from a trustworthy brand, the A53 may be the ideal fit for you. For a phone at this price, it has a surprisingly high-quality finish, with a thin bezel to match. It also benefits from a 120Hz refresh rate, for super smooth scrolling that will keep you refreshing your feed for hours. In our hands-on preview, we said: “First impressions suggest that with its latest budget-friendly A-series phone, Samsung may have beaten Apple at its own game.”
