The new gold HTC One is now available to purchase SIM-free in the United Kingdom, thanks to Expansys. The device is priced at £479.99 ($794), which is a little pricey given the HTC One is almost a year old now, but it’s certainly a lot less than you’ll pay if you get it on a two-year contract.

Google Play isn’t the only place where you can pick up the new Nexus 5 without a contract, but if you decide to shop elsewhere, you’re likely to pay a lot more for it. In the U.K., for example, the 16GB variant costs £299 ($481) direct from Google, but some stores are charging as much as £400 ($643).

This isn’t just a bid to make a quick buck while the handset is sold out on Google Play. The reason for these high prices is that the cost of the Nexus 5 on Google Play actually undercuts the prices retailers must pay to wholesalers.

Smartphone retailer Carphone Warhouse has stopped selling the SIM-free Nexus 5 at a very attractive £295 less than a week after the handset made its public debut. The company says that only a “limited number” of handsets were available SIM-free, and that it will only be selling the Nexus 5 on contract going forward.

British retailer Phones 4U has today launched a new Arctic Blue variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4. It’s available on contract only, with prices starting at £37 ($57) per month if you want to pay nothing upfront for the handset itself. The handset also comes with a free Samsung S-View case.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is now available to purchase in the United Kingdom. The waterproof handset is priced at around £500 ($745) if you want it SIM-free, but you can get it free on a two-year contract from £33 ($49) per month.
