Samsung Galaxy phone drops to cheapest price with lesser-known code

Get this affordable Samsung phone cheaper thanks to this secret code on Argos
Samsung has a full range of smartphones. While the Galaxy S models usually take all the headlines, the Galaxy A models offer much the same experience for a lot less money. That's why Samsung nicknames them 'Galaxy Awesome'.
The great thing about Galaxy A models is the price, with the Galaxy A36 being one of the more affordable models. Not only is this phone good value for money, but Argos is running a double discount on it: the Galaxy A36 is reduced to £324.99, instantly saving £75 off the launch price, but then there's an extra 10% off.
That means shoppers can get the Samsung Galaxy A36 for £292.49 on Argos, the cheapest it has ever been. To save the extra 10% you'll have to use the code 'RED10' at checkout, so remember to add the code when putting in your payment details.
It's also available from Amazon but costs a little more at £399, while shoppers can also buy it direct from Samsung too. The advantage of buying from Samsung is that there are trade-in offers you can take advantage of.
However, to get this much of a discount – the Argos deal saves you £107.50 off the original price from Samsung – you'd need to trade in a phone that's better than the Galaxy A36, so it's not worth it.
Those looking for a phone deal that's not the Galaxy A36, then the Poco X7 Pro on Amazon is £269, saving £75, and this gamer's phone offers more power, a bigger battery and faster charging, but the user experience isn't as smooth as Samsung offers.
The Samsung Galaxy A36 has a large 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 256GB of storage and comes in a great modern design, with IP67 protection against water, so it will be happy at the beach.
It's powered by Snapdragon hardware, but here it's mid-range Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, so this isn't the fastest phone around. While it will be fine for day-to-day activities like checking emails and social media, however it doesn't have the power for a great gaming experience, which we'd urge customers to consider when shopping.
Another drawback to the budget Galaxy A36 model is the display. The model has been noted to have a 'dim' display when used outdoors, something not found to be an issue on the higher end Galaxy S25 range.
One of the great things is that Samsung offers 6 years of updates. That means your phone will still get the latest features and still have security updates in 2031. Samsung's One UI is one of the most popular phone experiences in Android devices, with plenty of options for customisation.
There's a triple camera on the back, including a 50-megapixel main sensor, with Galaxy AI editing features bundled in, so once users have snapped their photo, it can be cleaned up using AI.
The Samsung Galaxy A36 sits below the Galaxy A56 and these two devices make up the mid-range tier of Samsung phones before you get to the Galaxy S25 models above it.

Ninja's 'perfect' pizza oven that cooks 12-inch pizzas in minutes is now £110 off

The Ninja Artisan Pizza Oven with Cover is now £219.95 down from £324.98 at QVC - it's cheaper than Ninja website and Amazon. As the summer season draws near, it brings with it the prospect of garden parties, alfresco dining, and enjoying the sunshine with delectable food. One essential that most people crave during this time is a pizza, but ordering a takeaway for the entire family can be costly. This is why pizza ovens are becoming a must-have item in gardens and homes. However, finding the right one can be challenging, especially one that won't empty your wallet. Fortunately, shoppers are in luck as they can snap up the Ninja Artisan Pizza Oven with Cover from QVC for £219.95, reduced from £324.98 - which is also cheaper than on the Ninja website (£229.99) and Amazon (£229). New QVC shoppers can also get an extra £5 off with the code FIVE4U, bringing the total down to £214.95. The Ninja pizza oven allows shoppers to whip up delicious 12-inch pizzas in mere minutes. It's electric, so there's no need for flames or gas - simply plug it in and start cooking. With five pizza settings such as Thin Crust, New York and Deep Dish, shoppers can perfect their favourite style every time. It even comes with a pizza peel, stone, and a cover to keep it safe outdoors, reports the Mirror. This oven does more than just pizza, as shoppers can bake bread, air fry meals, and prove dough - all outside. It also heats up to 370 degrees and fits a full meal, like chicken wings or chips. There's a window so customers can watch their food cook. Simple controls also make it easy to use, and it's ideal for gardens, patios or balconies. If the Ninja option doesn't tick all the boxes, customers could consider the Argos Ooni Koda 12 Gas-Powered Pizza Oven, priced £299, boasting quick gas ignition, 15-minute cooking readiness, and 500-degree temperature capabilities - resulting in 60-second pizza cooking times. Alternatively, Vonhaus's more budget-friendly Outdoor Pizza Oven, costing £129.99, offers portability, accommodating 12-inch pizzas and rapid heating of up to 350 degrees within 15 minutes. On QVC's platform, buyers have awarded the Ninja pizza oven an average of 4.7 stars out of 5. Comments include: "So quick and easy and the pizzas were lovely. Perfectly cooked every time Also tried the air fryer function and it was to the usual NINJA standard too." One reviewer expressed being 'very impressed', as it exceeded their expectations. They said: "Big enough for a 12-inch pizza but small enough to easily move. The oven heats up fairly quickly, but then retains the heat if making several pizzas." Another said: "Exactly as expected. Feels solid, makes you feel confident it can produce the desired heat, safely and with ease." However, one user noted: "One thing I would say is that the pizza was a bit too dark for me and I've heard others say the same." Another customer commented: "Amazing! Made gluten-free from frozen bases and normal ones from fresh bases and they were the best pizzas we have had in a long time! Toppings - less is more for sure! Really impressed - 3 pizzas in under 15 mins!". The Ninja Artisan Pizza Oven with Cover can be found at its lowest price on QVC.
