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.Google’s on the cusp of announcing the new Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 pro, but ahead of the launch there are big savings to be had on the outgoing Pixel 6. Right now Google’s smartphone is the cheapest it’s ever been on Amazon at £456.
That’s a saving of £143 on the usual price, which is a bargain for anyone shopping around for an affordable Android phone that doesn’t compromise on quality.
The Pixel 6 is still the best Google phone you can buy today, and is guaranteed to continue to receive security updates for at least another four years.
Launched in October 2021, the Pixel 6 is the first phone to be powered by Google’s own Tensor smartphone processor. The SoC (system on a chip) is used to power everything from the Google Assistant, live language translation, augmented reality, security, and nifty photo editing tricks like removing people from photos just by tapping on them.
Earlier this year Google added the budget-friendly Pixel 6a to the line-up. In our Pixel 6a review we called it “a pocket-friendly phone, in the figurative sense as well as the literal one. For £399 it unlocks access to the full suite of Pixel-exclusive features, while trimming away some of the super high-end hardware that makes pricey flagships of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 pro.”

Google Pixel 6: Was £599, now £456, Amazon.co.uk
With £143 off at Amazon, the Pixel 6 is an unbeatable bargain. Powered by Google smarts it features the best photo processing features of any handset on sale today. The phone is available in three colour options, which Google calls stormy black, sorta seafoam and kinda coral – but you can call them black, green and orange.
A 5G-capable handset, the Pixel 6 has a 6.4-inch OLED display with a speedy 90Hz refresh rate, and a main camera with a 50-megapixel resolution. There’s also an ultra-wide, 12-megapixel camera, and on the front an 8-megapixel selfie camera. The phone has IP68 water and dust resistance, meaning it can take a dunk in freshwater without causing any harm, and the battery can last up to 48 hours with “extreme battery saver” mode enabled.
