Ready to upgrade? Five of the best cheap phones are still on sale at Amazon

Smartphone prices have fluctuated dramatically over the past few months, but if you’re looking to replace your current device with an affordable, 2024-ready model, you can still find record-low prices on five of the best cheap phones: specifically, the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, iPhone 13, Google Pixel 7a, OnePlus 10T and OnePlus Nord N30 5G.

The caveat, however, is that some of these phones are only on sale in the US, while others are only on sale in the UK. That said, we’ve picked out multiple deals for both regions below, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding a model that suits your needs (and, more importantly, your budget).

Today's best cheap phone deals in the US 

Samsung Galaxy A54 5G: was $449.99 now $324.99 at Amazon
The cornerstone of Samsung's 2023 Galaxy A-series phones boasts a crisp 6.4-inch AMOLED display, three capable cameras – a 50MP wide, 12MP ultrawide and 10MP front-facing – and enviable longevity. It's a truly solid phone that continues to be available for an excellent, record-low price at Amazon, though you'll need a Prime membership to qualify for the saving.View Deal

OnePlus 10T: was $599.99 now $339.99 at Amazon
OnePlus’ excellent mid-range flagship is now cheaper than ever at Amazon. While we’d have liked better camera options, the OnePlus 10T absolutely blitzes basic tasks like checking emails or scrolling social media thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip and 8GB of RAM (you'll get 16GB on the larger storage option). In our OnePlus 10T review, we said that the phone's “good-looking screen, powerful chipset and fast charging make it a tempting buy for certain users”, and that 6.7-inch AMOLED display is certainly a looker.View Deal

OnePlus Nord N30 5G: was $299.99 now $249.99 at Amazon
If you're not looking to break the $300 barrier for the OnePlus 10T, then the brand's cheaper option, the Nord N30 5G, remains an excellent budget pick. This phone boasts a 6.72-inch LCD display with Full HD Plus resolution (2400 x 1080 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate – which is something that even the iPhone 15 doesn't have – and on the back, you'll get a capable three-camera system led by a 108MP lens. Other notable features include a 5000mAh battery supporting 50W fast charging, a fingerprint scanner on the side, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. That's a whole lot of phone for $249.99.View Deal

Today's best cheap phone deals in the UK

iPhone 13: 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: 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.View Deal

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
