Pitched as a gaming phone, but it’s just an all-round brilliant Android phone that’s a stone-cold bargain. It has a high-end processor, 6.3-inch screen, good rear cameras, and a fantastic design.

This is a brilliant buy thanks to the price it’s dropped to, plus flagship-level specs such as the speedy Snapdragon processor, 6GB of RAM, OLED display and premium aluminium finish.

Sony Xperia XA1 £129, sonymobile.com

A good budget buy with a superb camera sensor (23MP!), and design that looks smarter than the price suggests. You get good performance at all times from it, and an HD screen.

Samsung Galaxy A8 £279, samsung.com

The A8’s camera package, both front and back, is stellar, and the roundedcorner OLED screen, coupled with an eight-core processor and 4GB RAM make it feel high-end. A real bargain.
