Best iPhone 11 Deals

The iPhone 11 offers solid camera performance and power to spare for a relatively reasonable price. It isn't exciting, but it's a good replacement for older iPhones.

There’s currently a surplus of iPhone 11 deals, so if you’re looking to upgrade to the new device, now is the time to do it. If you buy from Carphone Warehouse you can get a free set of Apple AirPods worth £159, while Mobiles.co.uk is offering the iPhone 11 with 60GB data, for only £33/month. You can also get £10 off deals on Mobiles.co.uk with our exclusive code PCMAG10.

Best Google Pixel 4 Deals

Display

The Pixel 4 has launched and hit shelves on October 24. New radar technology allows the device to be ‘touched’ without actually touching it. According to Google, this has been achieved by sensing through materials and an improved gesture experience.

The Pixel 4 is available in Just Black, Clearly White, and a limited edition Oh-So-Orange. It started shipping on October 24, and starts at £669 SIM-free in the UK.

Best Samsung S10 Deals

Galaxy of Choices: Samsung Galaxy S10 vs. S10+ vs. S10e vs. S10 5G

The Galaxy S10 range is the cheapest its ever been, and Black Friday sales mean the handsets will be getting even more reductions. The S10e continues to be incredibly budget friendly, and you can now pick up the device for less than £25 per month.

Best Huawei P30 Deals

The Best Chinese Phones for 2019

Probably the most well known Chinese phone at the moment, the Huawei P30 continues to be an advanced addition to the Android phone market. Prices are very competitive, and will likely stay that way throughout the Black Friday sales.

My Experience

I’ve been freelancing as a tech journalist for several years now, after long wanting to write about my passion for video games. I have bylines on Kotaku and other sites, but PCMag is where you can find most of my musings on gaming, its culture, and where the industry is going next. I also test online services for both businesses and individuals. If you’re interested in hearing me talk about entertainment, film, and TV, you can check out my Patreon and Substack, both under the name “Robby Knows.”

The Technology I Use 

Most of the tech I use every day is within the Apple ecosystem. Currently, I rely on a 2025 MacBook Air for computing and dabble in art projects on my 6th-generation iPad Mini. I don't go anywhere without my AirPods Pro 2 in my pocket. 

As an avid gamer, you better believe that I always have a controller in my hands if I’m not watching movies or TV. I use my PS5 and Switch 2 equally, depending on what’s the hot new release, and am always trying to find interesting ways to tinker with my Steam Deck.  

Given the current state of social media and technology, I find myself going more analog to escape the noise. I have a modest collection of watches, both automatic and digital, to free myself from the pings and notifications of the modern world. I also put my phone in a ySky lockbox for 12 hours every night to reduce my screen time. I spent a lot of the past year trying to read good books rather than scroll through feeds.
