Moto G 16GB £140, Lumia 620 £115 at Phones 4U on Friday
Phones 4U is getting into the festive spirit with some cracking deals on reasonably priced mobiles until Monday.
Phones 4U is getting into the festive spirit with some cracking deals on reasonably priced mobiles, with the hotter-than-a-microwaved-mince-pie Moto G the pick of the bunch. The 'Black Friday' deals aren't yet live, and run from 29 November until 2 December.
Motorola's sensational new blower is £140 for the larger 16GB version in the deal, a saving of some £20 on the RRP.
That's a tenner more than Tesco Mobile was offering it for, although that version is currently out of stock at the megamarket. Tesco does have the wee 8GB version for a mere £99 at the moment, which is a bargain any way you slice it, but may prove somewhat limiting as you can't expand it.
Also up for grabs on Friday are the excellent Nokia Lumia 620 for a minuscule £115, and a bevy of phones from last year: the slinky Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini for £140, the funky HTC 8S for £110, the low-res Sony Xperia Miro for £90 and the terrible Samsung Galaxy Y for £40.
Personally, I'd go for the Moto G if you're after an Android and either the Lumia 620 or HTC 8S if you want a splash of colour from both the case and the Windows Phone software. The Nokia has the edge in pre-installed apps, but all are really well built, and should last at least until next Christmas.
Here's Andy enthusing over the Moto G, like a man whose job recommending good-value phones has just got a whole lot easier:

Update: A previous version of this story stated that Phones 4U's deals were only available on Friday 29 November. Phones 4U informs me that is not the case; the deals run over the weekend until the end of the day on Monday 2 December, except the Sony Xperia Miro, which is available for the above price until 6 December.
