This deal is for the black model, but if you want the phone in gold or white just click on the links. The offer is through Mobile Phones Direct and is a 24-month contract. If ordered through TopCashback, you could save an additional £31.50.

Google Nexus 6 by Motorola for £315 SIM-free, or just £258 with cashback

If you want to pay less than £315 then this deal is quite complicated – but just follow the instructions laid out by Hot UK deal user Mynameisthehulk and you should be able to knock the price down to around £150. It's a big old phone, the Nexus 6, but if it's an Android phablet you're looking for then this is hard to beat at the price. It even has a qHD screen with a resolution of 2650 x 1440.

Motorola Moto 360 in dark chrome with metal strap for £150

Reduced from £230, the Moto 360 smartwatch in dark chrome and with a matching metal link strap is currently £149.99 from Currys. The second generation is expected to be on its way very soon, so it perhaps isn't too surprising to see the original discounted, but it's an excellent price for one of the most attractive smartwatches on sale today.

Asus Memo Pad 7 for £59.95

Anyone on the lookout for a budget Android tablet with a 7in screen should consider this – it's the Memo Pad 7 by Asus, and at John Lewis it's just £59.95. Also worth remembering is that unlike most retailers and manufacturers, John Lewis includes a free two-year warranty on all electricals.
