Christmas has come to an end, the Turkey has been consumed and now - if you were lucky to get a top-up of cash over the Christmas period - you may just be thinking of getting a new phone.

Well the great news is that Boxing Day launched a host of excellent sales on mobile phone deals. Thanks to Boxing Day and January sales, a number of phone retailers have brought prices down across the board and most of those deals are still available.

This includes Apple products like iPhone 12 deals and even cheaper iPhone 11 deals, as well as Samsung Galaxy S20 deals on the Android side or the cheaper Google Pixel 5.

While there is a massive range of handsets that are suddenly looking a lot cheaper, we've picked out our top five picks and listed the mobile phone deals below...
