Your IndyBest weekend shopping guide [View in browser]( [IndyBest]( [Ellie Fry]( Emma Henderson [IndyBest Editor]( November 12, 2021 Your phone is arguably the most important accessory you own – not only is it your phone, it's your camera, your map, your internet browser and more. And with both Apple unveiling its new [iPhone 13 models]( and Google debuting the [Pixel 6]( recently, now could be the perfect time to upgrade. In our all-new edit of the [best smartphones for 2021](, our technology critic, David Phelan, voted the [Apple iPhone 13 pro max]( the overall best buy, but gave high praise to a number of other handsets from the likes of Google, Oppo, Huawei, Samsung and Xiaomi, if you're yet to make up your mind. And once you've found the phone of your dreams, we'd highly suggest check out these [early Black Friday deals from Three](.

[Sky Glass review]( The Independent's tech editor, Andrew Griffin, has been putting Sky Glass through its paces for the past few weeks to assess whether it's worth your hard-earned cash (£13 a month, plus £26 a month for Sky Ultimate TV, which does include Netflix). [Here's his verdict on the latest launch](.

[Amazon Black Friday deals]( There are major savings to be snapped up on Amazon's own devices right now, including the [Kindle Paperwhite](, which is down to just £74.99 from its RRP of £119.99, and the Blink outdoor HD security camera for less than £50, and we've already seen [Apple AirPods]( with a £40 discount, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

We tried all of these hand creams over the course of a month and considered how fast they absorbed and how they left skin feeling after use, as well as weighing up whether it was worth indulging in a luxury brand or opting for an affordable pick.
