Storm Henk isn't the only thing blowing the UK away this week, as the EE Winter Sale is here to give you the chance to get great bargains on some of 2024's best phones.
If you're looking for the best smartphone deals available right now, you could easily be drawn into looking at a Samsung Galaxy S24 preorder, but, in all honesty, the best option right now could be to look at some of its predecessors. For example, you can save £528 on the Samsung Galaxy S23 or £520 on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, flipping amazing, right?!
The deals don't stop there, with opportunities to save over £450 on the recently released Google Pixel 8, or nearly £220 on the iconic iPhone 14, so no matter what phones take your fancy, there are savings for all!
EE is currently the UK's fastest 4G network and has the most widespread high-speed network coverage of any of the big four phone networks (EE, Vodafone, O2, and Three). Whilst their plans can, in comparison, be on the pricier side, they also offer an unrivalled amount of reliability, as well as some high-value options for existing customers to add additional phones, SIM-only plans, broadband, and now even TV to their deal.
If you're not quite sure where the best smartphone deals are in the EE Winter Sale, we've picked out our top five EE deals you should get your hands on this January while you still can.

The phone features a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and triple rear camera setup, all more than capable of satisfying your mobile tech desires.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: unlimited data, calls and texts, £51.72 per month, £30 upfront on EE
If, like me, the concept of a foldable phone is tempting you, this deal is a must-have. Right now you can save £520 on an unlimited plan on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 with EE. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 features the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a 6.7-inch (when unfolded), adaptive 120Hz AMOLED display, and dual 12MP rear cameras, all packed inside a clamshell with playful colour options such as lavender, mint, and cream.
