With 2013 now well under way, it’s worth looking at some of the best smartphone deals available, whether you’re thinking of upgrading your phone, or if you’re just tired of using the same old handset and contract. From the Samsung Galaxy Ace to the Motorola RAZR i, and including the HTC One X, the Samsung Galaxy SII, and the Nokia Lumia, the following phones represent excellent value for money on their packages. Some offer extra incentives, which include cash back with a monthly subscription, and free handsets and bonus devices.

Samsung Galaxy Ace
Ideal for anyone that wants access to a great Samsung phone without having to pay for a high-end handset, the Galaxy Ace delivers excellent value for money. Its 3.5-inch touch screen is combined with Android 2.2.1, and a 5-megapixel camera, as well as connections to social networks. An Ultimate Internet deal on the phone will give you unlimited data, 100 free minutes, and 5,000 free texts for £16 if you use Three.
