Amazon Prime Day 2021 is well underway, with more than 2 million products available at discounted prices across the retailer’s site, from home appliances and laptops to fashion, gaming and more.

The two-day event, which began on 21 June, offers shoppers the chance to snap up a bargain on a whole host of must-have items but, when it comes to tech, smartphones are among the most popular.

Luckily, the online giant has come through with savings on some of the latest handsets so, if you’re in the market for a new mobile, now is the time to invest.

Apple iPhone 12, 128GB: Was £849, now £709, Amazon.co.uk

Consider your search for a new smartphone over, because the iPhone 12 really can do it all. With up to 17 hours of battery life, 5G capability, two rear cameras and a 6.1in super retina XDR display, it’s a real powerhouse.

This particular model featured in our round-up of the best smartphones for 2021, with our reviewer stating that it has the very same OLED display as its larger sibling, the iPhone 12 pro. “That makes it an enticing proposition for anyone who wants the best iPhone possible in a more convenient size,” they said.

“The iPhone 12 is almost as good as the pro models. It has spectacular battery life and two of the pro’s three cameras (it lacks the telephoto),” our tester added. “It’s also every bit as powerful as it has the same processor at its heart, so it can do all the standout things from the pro, such as the fast, effective face recognition.”
