Premium October Tech Picks: Galaxy Ultra, iPhone Air, Google Pixel and iPads
A premium upgrade becomes more appealing when you can see both the price and the saving clearly. Zextons’ October selection includes refurbished Samsung Galaxy flagships, iPhone Air, Google Pixel phones and iPads, giving you several ways to compare higher-end devices against your budget.
The table below shows selected configurations checked on 20 October 2026. The comparison prices are the new-device reference prices displayed by Zextons; they are not a claim that these refurbished items previously sold at those prices or that another retailer currently charges that amount.
Selected configurations were listed as available when checked. Prices, colours and stock can change, so confirm the matching variant before ordering.
