Argos has brought back its Big Red Event has seen prices slashed up to 50% on countless tech products including Samsung tablets, LG TVs and Apple iPhones Argos has kicked off its bank holiday sale by slashing the price of thousands of products. The retailer's Big Red Event is now in full swing and we've spotted price drops on top brands like Apple, Samsung, Shark and more, with some reduced by up to 50%. Argos has made itself a cheaper option for shoppers in the market for a new smartphone, TV, tablet or vacuum cleaner without breaking the bank. All customers need to do to claim their discount is enter a discount code listed on the respective product pages. The sale isn't around for long though and is due to end on June 3. But until then, we've pulled together a selection of deals that caught our eye, as well as a few ways to get the select products for even less. Read on for our favourite deals in the Argos sale. Shark Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Vacuum Cleaner – £175 (was £250) Shark's flagship vacuum cleaner features the brand's signature Anti Hair Wrap technology, which removes hair from the brush-roll as it cleans to avoid any tangles. This model also has a 'Flexology' wand, allowing it to bend under furniture. Argos is knocking 30% off the vacuum cleaner, beating Shark 's price of £247.49. Buyers have rated the Shark 4.6 stars, as one five-star review said: 'Delighted with my cordless vacuum. I have a hairy dog and it's brilliant for just picking up each morning without having to use the plug in vacuum.' Another said: 'I've had Henry and Dyson, but neither are as good as this. Suction is amazing and the amount of stuff it picks up is incredible. It's lightweight and so easy to charge.' But this three-star review said: 'Very efficient but had to return as far too heavy for an older lady, not suitable for anyone with weak hands/joints.' 43' LG Smart 4K TV – £161.10 (was £179) This LG UQ769 Smart TV is already at its 'lowest price ever' at Argos, but is now available with 10% off. It boasts 4K Ultra HD picture quality and LG's immersive sound, plus easy access to streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+ and Freeview Play. The TV has earned a near-perfect 4.8-star rating, as one buyer said: 'The picture quality is crisp and vibrant, with deep blacks and bright colors that make movies and shows look fantastic. The size is perfect for my bedroom, and the sound is surprisingly good without needing an external speaker.' Another said: 'Excellent value for money. Picture quality is exceptional for this price.' However, this review points out a downside: 'Remote is difficult to use and lacks features that I had on my previous LG TV. I am now using my old remote to operate the new TV.' 43' LG Smart 4K TV – Buy it here Google Pixel 8 – £349.50 (was £699) This SIM-free Google Pixel 8 smartphone boasts a 6.2' OLED display, 50MP camera and up to 72-hour battery life. It's also packed with Google AI features that can fix photos, screen calls and get answers with Google Gemini. Those seeking a newer model may want to consider the new Pixel 9a, which Amazon offers for £499. But even as a slightly older model, the Pixel 8 achieved an impressive 4.7-star rating, as one glowing review said: 'Great phone and camera. It works flawlessly and takes excellent pictures.' Another said: 'Bought as an upgrade to my old Samsung and have been very impressed by the speed, responsiveness and usability. If you use Google and like Android, this is a great buy.' This review was more mixed: 'Warms up when doing basic functions like browsing but otherwise brilliant.' Google Pixel 8 – Buy it here Apple iPhone 16 – £699 (was £749) This may not be the biggest price drop in the Argos sale, but it's not often you get £50 off the latest Apple product. The iPhone 16 is part of Apple's latest smartphone series, with this model boasting Apple Intelligence features, 128GB of storage, a 48MP camera and smooth performance powered by Apple's A18 chip. Amazon shoppers can get it ever so slightly cheaper at £698, or consider the more budget-friendly iPhone 16e (£599). The iPhone 16 has been awarded 4.8-stars from Argos customers, as one said: 'The performance is incredibly smooth – multitasking is a breeze and the overall user experience is fast and responsive. The display is stunning, making everything from streaming to browsing look amazing. Battery life is impressive too.' Another said: 'Definitely best choice at this price range. Packed with great features, including Apple Intelligence, stunning design, and as close you can get to that compact phone feeling with a premium touch.' But this less-impressed buyer said: 'The only difference from my iPhone 14 is the addition of a camera button. The location of the button is in an awkward position whereby it's not any easier using it versus how you normally use iPhone cameras.' iPhone 16 – Buy it here Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 – £151.20 (was £189) Samsung says this Galaxy Tab A9 is ideal for 'everyday entertainment and productivity in a portable package' and it's now 20% off. The Android device features an 8.7' screen, split-screen multitasking and a powerful chip for TV streaming or web browsing. However, shoppers can get the larger Tab A9+ for free by upgrading to a Galaxy S25 with a rival deal at where the handset is available for £24.99 per month. But the budget-friendly Tab A9 has racked up a 4.5-star rating, as one reviewer said: 'Excellent small tablet, great size to take away on a holiday, so many functions. Much easier to see than a phone.' Another said: 'It's priced relatively cheap but it's definitely a mid range tablet, can handle most tasks with ease. It can run all my favourite games and a decent battery too.' However, shoppers should note the tablet doesn't include a charger, as this buyer said: 'There was no Samsung charger with this. I have always had chargers with previous tablets.'

There's something strange going on with Google Pixel phone vibrations after the latest update
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Google Pixel phones are apparently kicking out some strange vibrations after the recent March update. Over on the Google Pixel subreddit multiple Pixel users reporting that after they install the update the haptic vibrations their Pixel phones are serving up feel different than before. Some notice this when typing on the Pixel virtual keyboard, while others claim that all vibrations feel different. One poster going by the handle of Krysnosis noted: "On typing I don't feel it, but the back gesture I immediately felt the hollow feeling. It has less thunk and doesn't feel as clean. Now, it has a lingering light vibration. Before, it just ended cleanly." It's hard to narrow down whether these changes are affecting particular Pixel models, or most Pixel phones that qualify for the update. But the general vibe of the Reddit thread is that the change in vibrations feel less direct and robust, something that wasn't met with approval from those affected. There's no mention of any changes to haptics or the intensity of the vibrations in Google's changelog for the March 2025 update, so this would appear to be a bug. I'm in the process of downloading an update for my Google Pixel 9 Pro, which is taking some time due to my slow internet, so I'm afraid I can't bring you any insight from my side just yet. The folks at 9to5Google say they haven't noticed any vibration changes on their Pixel 9 models; however, The Verge reported detecting vibration changes in the Google Pixel 8 phones, while Reddit users noted that the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro have been affected. So it's all a little strange, and Google has yet to comment on the vibration issues. If you've notices changes to vibrations on your Pixel, let me know in the comments below. Android 16 beta users are reporting major battery drain issues – but I'm not too worried about it Samsung says 'millions' are using Galaxy AI regularly, despite surprising survey results iPhone 17 Air leaks suggest it'll get next-gen battery – and offset the 17 Pro Max's weight gains
