The best deals of the week in handheld and mobile - August 21
|

Welcome to our weekly round-up of the best deals in pocket gaming. As ever, we've got some bargain picks for you that will be difficult to resist.

It works like this: each week we bring the best deals in handheld gaming, predominantly covering the latest discounts for iOS and Android gamers.

We also cover a few deals on smartphones themselves, as well as a selection of handheld offers. Basically if it's portable and cheap, we're looking out for it.

iOS games

If you fancy a 3D racer that will show off your iPhone's power, Riptide GP: Renegade is a good bet. Otherwise there's a deeply adventurous tinge to this week's selection.

Smartphone deal of the week

You might not have realised that BlackBerry still made phones. As it happens, they don't - they leave the hardware side of things to other manufacturers, instead focusing their expertise on creating a more secure version of the Android OS.

BlackBerry DTEK 60 is a well-equipped, solidly build phone with a big sharp display and (joy!) front-facing stereo speakers.


  • BlackBerry DTEK 60 for £350 (down from £475) - buy
Handheld deal of the week

This week we've got a great deal on a fine Lego Star Wars game based on the recent JJ Abrams sequel for PS Vita.


  • LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens on PS Vita for £6.99 (was £24.99) - buy from PS Store
