The best SIM-free smartphone deals 2022
It's time to upgrade
There has never been a better time to bag yourself a SIM-free phone.
From the all-new Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro to the Apple iPhone 13 or 13 Pro we’ve got more powerful innards, better cameras and higher-res screens to dive into than ever before.
Let’s check the latest deals:
Google Pixel 6 Pro review
Previous Pixel phones usually got the first part right, and always delivered on the camera front, yet conservative specs elsewhere left them on the back foot against flagship rivals. Good news, Google fans: that all changes here
Features:
- Slick, streamlined OS
- Premium hardware competes with the best of them
- Awesomely capable cameras
- Telephoto lens
Apple iPhone 13
This year’s key iPhone is no poor relation to the Pro – there’s so much to love about it. It’s not a revelation after iPhone 12, but it does enough to be a step onward.
Features:
- Excellent battery life
- Welcome camera improvements
- So much power
- 128GB base storage
Samsung Galaxy 21
The Galaxy S21 is one of the most striking phones money can buy, and the price won’t knock you out. Just don’t expect 2-day battery life.
Features:
- It’s as stylish as phones come
- Great cameras
- Pocket-friendly size
Apple iPhone 13 Pro
The iPhone 13 Pro is camera extraordinaire and although is late to the party with many features, it does them so well, like Macro photography and adaptive refresh rates. It’s the best Apple has to offer in way of 2021 smartphones.
Features:
- Superb camera
- All day battery
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G
An Android that earns its “ultra” title with an incredible camera array allowing you to capture moments other phones will simply miss
Features:
- Awesome camera zoom capability
- Smooth, ultra-bright screen

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3
Too expensive to recommend to almost everyone we know, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is still good enough to convert many foldable sceptics
Features:
- Surprisingly easy to handle
- Tough hinge
- Ultra-bright inner screen
Nokia G50
A big screen and 5G support make the G50 an ideal phone for stream fiends trying not to break the bank. It’s not especially quick, and those cameras are merely OK, but it’s still a lot of device for your cash.
Features:
- 5G for very little outlay
- Huge screen
- Pure Android with guaranteed updates
Sony Xperia 1 III
More multi-division Sony greatness, with a seriously impressive screen and pro-level camera abilities. Photo novices might find it difficult to master, but no rival has such comprehensive out-of-the-box ability

This is OnePlus’s best phone camera to date, and also nets you higher-end display hardware than Samsung and Apple phones near the price

- Loud stereo speakers
Xiaomi 11T Pro
A mid-tier marvel that puts pricier phones on notice with its rapid charging, smooth performance and capable camera – although its non-Pro sibling is arguably better value
