Shoppers left 'pleasantly surprised' by budget Android phone as it drops to £89
When it comes to smartphones, the two most notable mentions are generally iPhone and Samsung. Both dominating the tech sphere with their differing operating systems, these brands regularly release new flagship devices with latest tech and AI features.
However, these popular smartphones also typically come with price tags that cost shoppers hundreds of pounds, if not thousands if you want to buy the 'pro' editions outright.
While these brands are widely popular, there are some more budget friendly devices on the market that can still cater to your basic needs, while also possessing new AI programs.
One such smartphone that left shoppers 'pleasantly surprised' belongs to the Android family. While it was only released on June 6 of this year, Amazon has cut down the price of the HONOR X6c from £129.99 to a surprisingly affordable £89.99.
Featuring Android 15, the Honor X6c is primed with all of the latest software and security updates, while also comes with 128GB of storage so shoppers can save thousands of their favourite memories that have been taken on the 50MP AI ultra-clear camera.
Boasting a 6.61-inch 120hz display, this phone features eye comfort technology to make sure users enjoy a comfortable visual experience all day long, no matter if it is day or night. Shoppers have also praised the device for its long battery life which will let you scroll, stream and play for hours on end.

Product Description
Additionally, for those who enjoy using AI features in their day to day life, all tech lovers need to do is press the AI button to unlock a variety of smart features and instant information. On the flip side, for those worried about damaging the phone, it is equipped with five-star drop resistance as well as a dust and water resistance of IP63.
For those looking for a more popular device, Amazon has also slashed £250 off the Google Pixel 9. Normally retailing for £799 for the 128GB model, shoppers can now grab it in either obsidian, peony, porcelain or wintergreen for only £549.
Alternatively, for those who would rather an Apple device and are happy with a slightly older model, Argos is selling the iPhone 14 5G for £449. This phone features a 6.1-inch super retina XDR display, a 12MP TrueDepth dual-camera system and is powered by the super-speedy A15 bionic chip.
Back to the Honor X6c, it currently boasts a 4.3 star rating from over 1,000 Amazon shoppers. Many reviewers praised the device for its multitasking skills and its long battery life.
One satisfied shopper wrote: "Great phone, works extremely well. This is like an iPhone dupe but better, has lots of interesting features and is easy to use."
With another five-star reviewer adding: "I didn't need an all dancing mobile but was pleasantly surprised by how much this item offers.
"Apart from making/receiving calls, I get my emails and can search the internet anytime. Plus a very good camera. Everything I need and priced so comparatively low."
However, some shoppers did grumble about the display, as one person said: "The screen attracts finger print too easy."
Tech deal of the week
Shoppers looking for a set of budget earbuds are in luck as Amazon has a set that shoppers say work 'as well as Apple Airpods.'
The Jxrev Wireless Earbuds usually retail for £24.99, but shoppers can now snap them up for £18.99 in a limited time deal.
Providing up to eight hours of playtime from a single charge, these earbuds will let users listen to their favourite tunes, audiobooks and podcasts uninterrupted for hours on end. When used with the charging case, this boosts up to 40 hours.
For those worried about losing battery in the middle of the day, the charging case also comes with an LED display so users know exactly how much battery is remaining.
On top of this, shoppers will get clear calls as the earbuds come with environmental noise cancellation which will cancel out or suppress background noise to make users sound clearer.
Many shoppers have raved over these earbuds, which currently have a 4.3 star rating.
One happy shopper said: "These fit brilliantly and once you know what taps to do and when; they are excellent quality, value, usability and size. Great delivery speed too.
"They fit my tiny ear canals brilliantly with no discomfort or problem using them. Easy to set up Bluetooth. They were 100 per cent charged which was greatly appreciated."

While another shopper agreed: "Love everything about this phone. Its got brilliant battery power. My only complaint is the screen gets very greasy all the time, no matter how much you take care. It is impossible to keep free from streaks which distorts the viewing."
Despite this, a top reviewer went on to write: "I brought this phone as a stand in while I sent mine away for repair. Looks, feels good and has many features expected of dearer major rival brands. Linked easily & well with car and Fitbit, my banking app etc.
"Nice clear screen and the camera takes crisp images. Multi tasks well, quick and responsive. Good battery life even with many apps loaded and working in the background.
"Good sized memory for all those apps we have but don't need. Has its own app store but also have access to Google Play and all there apps. Sturdy build and easy to get a cover for if wanted."
Amazon has slashed 31 per cent off the Honor X6c as part of a limited time deal.

Rose gold heated hair brush that 'cuts styling time in half' now under £27 on Amazon
"My hair is so much less frizzy and feels so soft. Highly recommend." For those of us who love a sleek finish for our hair, using a hair dryer while stylish with a brush can be a huge hassle. But for frizz-free hair without the fuss of juggling a brush and dryer at the same time, a product that does both at once could be a game changer. And luckily, the Lily England 2-in-1 hair dryer brush is currently under £27 on Amazon. The Hair Dryer/Hot Air Brush with Adjustable Temperature usually retails at £44.99, but at its current 42 per cent discount, shoppers can snatch up the stunning rose gold gadget for £26.30. The product claims to cut drying time in half, and is the ideal hair styler for busybodies who want beautiful hair without visiting the salon. The discounted styling device can achieve salon results, whatever the hair type, according to its product description. Whether short hair, medium-long hair, thick, fine, straight or curly hair, the Lily England 'is the ultimate blowout brush'. Lily England's lightweight heated brush is made with tangle-free bristles, a 360 swivel cord and features three heat settings (cool, low and high), allowing home stylists to easily create the look they want. The company even offers a 100 per cent refund for customers who aren't fully satisfied. Lily England Hair Dryer/Hot Air Brush £44.99 £26.30 Amazon Shop Product Description For those browsing the market for alternative 2-in-1 dryers, Argos offers the Revlon RVDR5222UK1 One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumiser, currently £30 down from £50. They also offer a BaByliss model for a pricier £80. But customers can't get enough of the Lily England gadget, which has scored an impressive 4.3 star rating out of five. One happy customer said: "I bought this as I was looking for something to dry and style my hair at the same time to cut down on heat styling. "This was reasonably priced and had good reviews and (girly comment) being pink didn't hurt it's case!! "It is easy to use, light, not fiddly to hold, 3 settings - cool, low, high. The high doesn't get too hot. "I have a shoulder length bob with fine hair and this styles it well. The noise level I would say is no different than a hairdryer, maybe a touch quieter." "All in all I'm really glad I bought this. I'm not the best at styling my hair but this is really helping me and it's quick too!!" Another satisfied shopper said: "I owned a much more expensive one that broke within one year. Took a chance on this and it's just as good! Great price! Very easy to use and handle. Quite loud, but no louder than a normal dryer. Leaves my hair lovely and soft with nice volume." Yet a less impressed shopper added: "Gives a very dull, flat and dry looking finish, no bounce, no airy finish.. just a complete waste." But another happier customer said: "I have been using this for several months, I wanted to test it throughly before reviewing. This is one of the best dryers I have had, I have fine but very thick mid length hair and this has cut my drying/styling time in half. "I very rarely use my hair straighteners as I have no need, my hair is so much less frizzy and feels so soft. Highly recommend." The Lily England brush dryer is available on Amazon at its reduced price for a limited time only. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Anyone bad at replying to messages should try this iPhone tip - it's a game-changer
If you're someone who struggles to keep on top of messages, there's a quick iPhone hack that can help Do you find yourself taking an age to respond to messages from your friends and family? Turns out, there's a nifty iPhone trick that can help you prioritise those all-important texts - and it's a lifesaver for anyone who struggles to keep in touch. Before trying this, make sure your iPhone is fully updated with the latest software. As per Apple's advice, this handy tip should work on anything from an iPhone 6S to the latest 15 series. Explaining the hack, Faris Memon, a tech specialist at Vivid Ads, previously told the Mirror: "If you get a text you can't answer straight away, pin the conversation to remind yourself to reply later. "Once you've messaged back (usually at the end of the day), you can unpin it and it'll go back to the regular list." To pin specific messages to the top of your list, first open the Messages app on your device. Then press and hold the specific conversation you want to pin. This will bring up a small menu at the bottom of your screen, with 'Pin' listed as the first option. Tap it, and the chat will appear in a large bubble above all other messages. Faris continued: "Alternatively, [you can] tap 'Edit' in the top left corner [of your Messages app], then select 'Edit Pins'. Here, you'll see yellow thumbtacks next to each conversation. "Tap the ones you want to pin, then hit 'Done' to save. Remember, you can pin up to nine chats at once." If you're worried that your delayed responses might come across as impolite, there's another simple solution you can use. This involves turning off your 'read receipts' - the notifications that reveal when you've read someone's text and potentially how long you've been ignoring it. To do this, head to an iPhone's Settings app and scroll down before selecting the ' Apps ' and then 'Messages' option. This should bring up a new menu with various green toggles. Look for the one labelled 'Send Read Receipts' and tap the toggle to change it from green to grey - effectively switching it off. This way, the sender will only see that their text has been 'Delivered', not read.

Amazon shoppers race to buy ‘FAN-tastic' portable cooling gadget slashed to £15 for the heatwave
Trying to beat the heat this weekend? Head to Amazon. Shoppers are dashing to pick up a best-selling neck fan that's been reduced from £18.99 to £14.99. 1 Morelax Portable Neck Fan, £14.99 (was £18.99) With temperatures hitting 34C amid wild thunderstorms in parts of the UK this week, this handy gadget could be exactly what you need to keep cool while you're out and about. Better still, it won't break the bank, either. Amazon has slashed the price of the Morelax Portable Neck Fan, so you can get it for just £14.99, down from £18.99. The deal is so popular it's now Amazon's third best-selling fan, proving just how much of a hit it is with shoppers trying to survive the heatwave. This hands-free fan is worn around your neck like a pair of headphones, keeping your hands free. It's perfect if you're busy driving, carrying shopping, or dealing with your kids or a pushchair. Unlike many traditional fans, this one is bladeless, so you don't have to worry about your hair or fingers getting caught. The fan promises to blast a 360-degree breeze in as little as 3 seconds, helping you feel relief from the heat almost instantly. This cool little gadget is powered by a 4000 mAh rechargeable battery, which gives it between four and 16 hours of use, depending on which of the three speeds you choose. You can select what the manufacturer advertises as a 'soft breeze,' a 'natural wind,' or a 'powerful gust of air' to suit your needs. It charges with a simple USB-C cable, so it's easy to top up wherever you are, whether it's from a laptop, a power bank, or a wall adapter. It's also got a brushless motor that promises to be quieter than other fans, so you can stay cool without disturbing anyone else - making it perfect for the office. Above all else, this stylish and practical gadget looks perfect for the outdoors, if you're out in the garden or going for a jog. Its sleek, trendy look makes it an accessory you won't mind being seen with - you can pick it up in white, green or pink. And don't just take our word for it: it's racked up almost 900 five-star reviews on Amazon, with many customers raving about its effectiveness. One happy customer said, 'I've been using this neck fan for walks and workouts, and it's been a lifesaver. "The design is comfortable and the airflow is strong without being too noisy. "The battery life is decent, though I wish it lasted a bit longer on high speed. Overall, very convenient and effective!' Another reviewer, who uses it to combat hot flashes, commented: "The fan arrived on time and well packaged and seemed pretty well constructed. "When in use it looks like a pair of headphones sitting around your neck, which is fine. Not bad for the price!" Another buyer wrote: 'FAN(!)....TASTIC!! [I] highly recommend. What a great product! "No longer am I overcome by a sweaty face when walking, cooking or doing pretty much ANY activity in the summer heat! It's so quiet that it doesn't disturb anyone else. "It's lightweight, comfortable to wear, easy to charge and one of my favourite purchases already.' This deal is marked as a limited-time offer on the Amazon website, so if you want to keep your cool in the coming days, now's the time to get shopping.
