Google Pixel 10a 128 GB — Obsidian

Obsidian · listed by EE

£299

In stock when checked

Our take: Checked price

A smaller 6.3-inch Pixel for £299 delivered without an airtime commitment. Google promises seven years of OS and security updates from first US Google Store availability, making this worth considering if long support matters more than a zoom camera.

The catch

Choose the new Obsidian 128 GB phone and pay outright. Storage cannot be expanded and a mains charger is not included. Free standard delivery is included; no trade-in value or optional subscription-trial benefit is deducted. Optional trials renew for a charge unless cancelled.

Our take: Checked price

The 512 GB storage and 7,500 mAh manufacturer-rated battery capacity suit people who prioritise space and battery capacity. Real battery life depends on use; the support end date remains unconfirmed.

The catch

EE has one stray 128 GB line in its generic marketing copy; the capacity selector, specification table, MPN and article code all identify this as the 512 GB version. HONOR does not publish a model-specific support end date.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Enterprise Edition 128 GB — Black

Black · listed by Appliances Direct

Our take: Checked price

The 6.3-inch screen is easier to accommodate than many larger flagships. This offer is the 128 GB Enterprise Edition, so compare its storage and configuration carefully with ordinary retail models.

The catch

This is the 128 GB Enterprise Edition rather than the standard UK 256 GB model, and the storage cannot be expanded. Free delivery covers most UK addresses, so check the final charge if your postcode is excluded.

Is it cheaper to buy a phone and SIM separately?

Buying your phone and SIM separately is often cheaper and gives you more freedom, but compare the guaranteed total cost and the features you will actually use.

Phone and SIM price rises: work out what you will really pay

New contracts cannot use inflation-linked or percentage rises, but fixed pounds-and-pence increases are still allowed and can materially change the total.

Phone software support: the value hidden behind the price

A cheap phone can be poor value if support is nearly over. Check the model-specific end date, battery evidence and repair route before buying.
