Deals: the Galaxy S25 series comes with a free tablet, Google Pixels heavily discounted
Amazon UK is offering a free Galaxy Tab A9+ with its whole flagship line – but that's just the cherry on top. There are discounts across the board and you also get £100 Samsung Credit with each phone. This offer ends on June 26 – more details on how to claim the tablet here.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra deal is pretty wild – the phone is £150 off, then you get an additional £150 off at checkout. This drops the price of the 256GB model to below £1,000. Don't forget about the free tablet and Samsung Credit either.
But the price is interesting because £1,000 is how much you would spend on an S25+ right now (despite discounts) and is £100 less than the S25 Edge price (not necessarily, read below).
Speaking of, here is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. With pre-orders done, you actually have to pay extra for the upgrade to 512GB. However, a discount, some credit and a free tablet help soften the blow. Even more so if you are a Prime or Prime Student subscriber.
The Galaxy S25+ is just not worth it at the moment – the 512GB variant has a minor discount, the 256GB has none, so they are just £21 apart. But you'd be better off getting the S25 Ultra – the 256GB variant is cheaper!
The vanilla Galaxy S25 has a discount on all storage capacities, dropping it to £700 for the base 128GB. Keep that price in mind as we head over to the Pixel side of the store.
The Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL are £300 off. With that, the smaller Pro costs the same as the vanilla S25 – despite having 4GB more RAM and proper 48MP sensors in the periscope (5x vs. 10MP 3x on the Galaxy) and ultra-wide cameras. Here's a detailed comparison between the 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL.
As for the Pixel 9 Pro XL, the 256GB variant is £50 less than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. You don't get a free tablet, but you do get a £50 coupon for the Pixel Buds Pro 2. This coupon is available for all current Pixels except the a-models. Here's the Pixel 9 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra head-to-head article.
If you want a smaller phone but don't want to spend Pro money, the Pixel 9 is £100 less than the 9 Pro. You can check out our Pixel 9 vs. 9 Pro article, but the better cameras and extra perks are a great upgrade for the price.
For an actually cheap Google phone there are the Pixel 9a and 8a. The latter is a 2024 model, which means it uses the less-than-perfect Tensor G3, but it is around £100 cheaper than the 9a. Google Pixel 8a £177 off

Unlike the 8a and 9a, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold does come with a £50 coupon for the Pixel Buds Pro 2. However, even with a hefty £450 discount it is still quite pricey.
Not as pricey as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, though, itself with a decent discount – and £100 Samsung Credit and a free Galaxy Tab A9+.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is also part of the offer with a nice discount of its own, Samsung Credit and the free tablet. Of course, the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are a couple of months away from launch and they will have early bird deals – though their prices probably won't go this low for quite a while.

Google settles a major antitrust lawsuit – but it's not the one making headlines
While all eyes are on Google's high-stakes legal battle with the U.S. Department of Justice over its alleged search monopoly, the company just quietly resolved a different, yet equally significant, legal headache. Today, Google's parent company agreed to a $500 million compliance overhaul to settle a shareholder lawsuit accusing the company of failing to prevent antitrust violations. The case, filed on behalf of the company by investors, targeted top executives including CEO Sundar Pichai and co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Unlike the DOJ's broader attempt to potentially break up Google's search business, this lawsuit focused on internal governance failures. Shareholders alleged that Alphabet's leadership ignored growing antitrust risks tied to its core businesses, including Search, Ad Tech, Android, and app distribution. They claimed the company's board failed to act on red flags, exposing Alphabet to regulatory consequences that might have been avoided with stronger part of the settlement, Alphabet has committed to major structural changes. The company will establish a standalone risk and compliance committee at the board level, separate from its audit group. A new senior vice president role will be created to oversee compliance, reporting directly to Pichai. Additionally, a compliance committee made up of product managers and internal experts will be embedded within Google's teams to monitor and address regulatory issues. These reforms must remain in place for at least four years. — Google spokesperson, June 2nd, 2025 Despite denying any wrongdoing, Google said it was 'happy to make these commitments' in order to avoid prolonged litigation. Shareholders will not receive direct compensation, but their legal team is expected to seek up to $80 million in attorney fees, in addition to the $500 million Alphabet has agreed to spend on compliance efforts over the next is important to note that this settlement does not mark the end of Google's legal troubles. Just hours after the deal was disclosed, Judge Amit Mehta wrapped up hearings in the DOJ's major antitrust case, which could result in drastic remedies such as forcing Google to divest Chrome or share search data with competitors. A ruling is expected by August. From my perspective, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most challenging years yet for Big Tech. Google and Apple are under increasing pressure as regulators around the world push back against their dominance. This settlement may signal Alphabet's willingness to evolve, but it also highlights the mounting scrutiny tech giants continue to face.

Apple appeals EU's Digital Markets Act on privacy basis
Following the Digital Markets Act, Apple argues against the EU's interoperability requirements, citing privacy concerns for its EU users. Apple faces a $570 million fine as it's yet to comply with the new regulation, but in its official appeal the company says the act might be exploited by other firms and expose sensitive user data. Aside from the usual claims that the EU's regulations create an "unreasonably costly" process that "stifles innovation," Apple claims that data-hungry companies are requesting sensitive user information, which Apple should give up as per the EU's DMA. For instance, third-party companies are looking for notification content, full history of every Wi-Fi network stored on the device and even personal data that Apple doesn't have. Moreover, Apple points to Meta as the company that requested the most information from Apple, and that information was often unrelated to Meta's core services. If the appeal fails, Apple will be forced to pay the $570 million fine. The company says it's having difficulties discussing the matter with the EU, and the EU isn't responding to the feedback. Via

Google Maps gets a slightly different new look for iOS and Android
I wouldn't be surprised if Google has an office in Mountain View with a handful of Googlers who run through a series of Google apps every single day suggesting changes that can be made to these apps. Some of the changes are useful and help users save time while others seem like they were made by Google employees to justify their positions with the company. The latest Google app receiving an update is one that has received its share of improvements over the years, Google Maps. Both the Android and iOS versions of Google Maps are seeing a new look to the logo shown near the bottom left of the map. Before the update, the four-color (Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green) Google logo appeared in this spot. The new look, found in version 25.21 of Google Maps for Android and version 25.22 for iOS, says Google Maps in black and white. Will the change help get you to your destination faster or deliver better directions? No. There probably is a reason why Google made this change related to branding so we might not understand why this was done until a future date. Meanwhile, the new look appears on my Pixel 6 Pro running Android 16 QPR 1 Beta 1 but not on my iPhone 15 Pro Max with iOS 18.5 installed. It also has yet to surface on the mobile web variant of Google Maps. Even with the update, the four-color look can be seen in the search bar at the top of the app with the Google Maps icon at the left and the Google Lens icon in the four Google colors at the right of the search field. The old Google Maps is at the left while the new Google Maps with the new Google Maps logo is at the right. | Image credit-PhoneArena While iPhone users have the option of using Apple Maps and the iOS Google Maps app, Android users can navigate using the Google Maps app and the web version of Apple Maps on certain mobile browsers such as Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox by directing the browser to go to
