The best deals of the week in handheld and mobile - June 5
|

Welcome one and all to our weekly round-up of the best pocket gaming deals. Have we got some bargains for you.

Each week we cover 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. If it's portable and cheap, we're looking out for it.

iOS games

It's a good month for tabletop game enthusiasts, and generally those of a more contemplative nature.


  • Catan for £1.99 (was £3.99) - buy
  • After the End: Forsaken Destiny for £1.99 (was £3.99) - buy
  • Knights of Pen & Paper 2 for free (was £4.99) - download
  • Wicked Lair for free (was 99p) - download
  • Space Food Truck for £4.99 (was £9.99) - buy
Android games

Android fans get plenty of boardgame action this week too, but there's a little dose of lost-classic endless flier joy in there too.


  • Catan for £1.99 (was £3.29) - buy
  • Sorcery! for free (was £3.99) - download
  • After the End: Forsaken Destiny for £1.79 (was £3.89) - buy
  • Whale Trail Classic for £1.09 (was £1.99) - buy
  • Star Nomad 2 for £3.49 (was £6.49) - buy
Handset deals

Easily the most notable attribute of the Lenovo P2 is its battery. At 5100mAh, it's much bigger than normal, resulting in stellar stamina. Add in a capable processor, a colourful 5.5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, and a metal build and you have a solid phone.

Alternatively, we have the first UK effort from US manufacturer Blu. The Blu Vivo 6 has a strong metal design, a fast fingerprint sensor, a decent MediaTek Helio P10 CPU, a large 5.5-inch 1080p display, and a generous 64GB of storage.


Handheld deal of the week

As we've mentioned several times in the past, Switch games are a little on the pricey side. That's why we're always on the look-out for cheaper pre-order prices. Here's another.


  • The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ on Nintendo Switch pre-order for £34.99 (around £40 elsewhere) - buy from Smyths
