Amazon Black Friday deals 2024

Black Friday is finally here, and today is the perfect day to dig into some of the best deals on new phones. We've seen plenty of great prices on the latest and best smartphones, and they're not going to be disappearing anytime soon.

I would know too. I've been reviewing phones for the past 16 years, so you can trust me when I say I know how to spot a good Black Friday phone deal. Frankly, given all the discounts we've seen on some of the best phones we've tested and reviewed this year, now is the perfect time to upgrade your dusty old handset.

Our favorite deals at the moment include an offer from Boost Mobile letting you buy the iPhone 16 for just $0.01 at Amazon. (As Friday morning, similar deals for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max were temporarily unavailable while inventory is restocked — so be sure to check back later for discounts on these more expensive models. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24 Ultra costs just $949 @ Amazon, which is $350 off. On a budget? The Google Pixel 9 is now just $299 through Mint Mobile, which is $500 off — and significant a drop from its previous all-time low.

But there's more than just handsets on sale for Black Friday. there are plenty of deals on phone plans and accessories, like a year's worth of unlimited data service for $240 through Ultra Mobile. Or alternatively you can pick up a MagSafe-compatible PopSocket grip for just $15 — a 50% discount.

If anything, though, Black Friday shows exactly why you should never buy a phone at full price. No matter what device you choose, it's guaranteed to go down in price at some point, and I'm going to be going through all the retailer and wireless carriers to uncover the best deals you may not have known about. Especially for those of you looking for the best foldable phones, since they're usually prohibitively expensive — and a good deal can make the price tag a little more palatable.

So whatever phone you're looking for, make sure to keep your web browser pointed here. Because me and my colleagues will be hunting down and sharing the best Black Friday phone deals throughout the day.

Apple iPhone 16: $0.01 with Boost Mobile unlimited plan @ Amazon

Apple iPhone 16: $0.01 with Boost Mobile unlimited plan @ Amazon
Top-of-the-line iPhones cost a fortune, but Boost Mobile is running a deal through Amazon where you can get Apple's latest flagship for a penny so long as you sign up for the carrier's $65 unlimited data plan. Opting for more storage increases the cost. Similar deals for the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the iPhone 16 Pro are listed as unavailable when we last checked, but we've seen inventory get refilled before, so keep checking if you want the Pro phone.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max: get a $250 gift card @ Visible

Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max: get a $250 gift card @ Visible
Visible is giving you a $250 gift card that you can spend later on when you buy the iPhone 16 Pro Max. That could be spent on paying for an entire year's worth of unlimited service if you opt to pay annually, which would be $275. Meaning, this deal practically makes it only $25 out of your pocket to have service.

Apple iPhone 14: $11/month with Verizon/AT&T plan @ Walmart

Apple iPhone 14: $11/month with Verizon/AT&T plan @ Walmart
Now this one's irresistible for many reasons. Through Walmart, you can get a 256GB iPhone 14 for $11/month for 36 months when it's activated on either AT&T or Verizon. Given its slimmer size and excellent A15 Bionic performance, this deal is hard to pass up on a new iPhone that's two years old at this point.

Apple iPhone 14 Plus
Apple iPhone 14 Plus: was $729 now $529 at Best Buy

By activating this phone with a carrier (under the Pricing Options menu), you can save a tidy amount on Apple's first large iPhone. Otherwise, you get a $100 discounts on the unlocked version. The iPhone 14 Plus' long battery life and still-impressive cameras and performance help it keep up with newer phones.

Apple iPhone SE (2022): was $429 now $179 @ Best BuyPrice check: $179 @ Walmart

Apple iPhone SE (2022): was $429 now $179 @ Best Buy
I will admit that the iPhone SE (2022) is old at this point, but this 3rd generation model is still the cheapest iPhone that Apple still carries. One of the reasons why I love this phone is because it's incredibly compact and it can still deliver outstanding photos with its single main camera.

Best Black Friday Android deals

Moto G 5G 2023: was $139 now $39 @ Best Buy

Moto G 5G 2023: was $139 now $39 @ Best Buy
I know a phone deal is exceptional when it costs less than a dinner date on a weekend. Best Buy has the Moto 5 5G 2023 down to $39 when it's activated on a carrier. Make sure you select the correct box under Pricing Options to get the discount.

Sure the Moto g 5G is a pretty basic phone, but it manages to pack a 6.5-ich display with 120Hz refresh rate, 48MP main camera, and 5G connectivity.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: was $649 now $99 at Cricket Wireless

When I reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, it made me realize that it made the standard S24 flagship irrelevant. That's because the Galaxy S24 FE has a brighter, more vivid AMOLED display, longer battery life, and it's technically the cheapest new Galaxy phone with Samsung DeX support for that desktop PC-like experience.

Samsung Galaxy A15
Samsung Galaxy A15: was $159 now $99 at Walmart

Even more entry-level than other Galaxys, Walmart's nearly slashing the price of the Samsung Galaxy A15 for AT&T Prepaid to a whopping $99, which is down from its normal $159 cost. It packs a large 6.5-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate, triple rear cameras, MediaTek 6835 processor, and a large 5,000 mAh battery.

Moto G Stylus 5G 2024: was $399 now $149 @ Best Buy

Moto G Stylus 5G 2024: was $399 now $149 @ Best Buy
Don't be tricked to thinking it's basic because the Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 is big on productivity, thanks to how it comes with a stylus for that pen meets paper experience. Impressively, too, it offers long battery life performance with its mark of 15 hours and 1 minute on Tom's Guide's battery benchmark test.

Note: To get the full discount, you need to activate this phone with a carrier. Select the relevant box under Pricing Options when you add the phone to your cart.

Google Pixel 8a
Google Pixel 8a: was $499 now $299 at Best Buy

The best cheap phone is getting a much deserving discount for Black Friday. Best Buy has the charming unlocked version of the Pixel 8a for as low as $299 when you choose the option to connect it to a wireless carrier. That's almost half off the Pixel 8a's price, making it hard to pass up on.

Samsung Galaxy A35
Samsung Galaxy A35: was $399 now $299 at Amazon

Samsung's entry-level Galaxy A phone features a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display, Exynos 1380 chipset, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. Rear camera lenses include a 50MP main, 8MP ultrawide, and 5MP macro. On the front you'll find a 13MP lens.

Motorola Edge 2024
Motorola Edge 2024: was $549 now $349 at Amazon

Even though it's technically not Motorola's flagship phone, the Motorola Edge 2024 still carries its weight with its performance, sleek design, gorgeous pOLED display, dual cameras, and speedy 68W TurboPower charging that will get it to a decent level in 30 minutes of charging.

Google Pixel 9
Google Pixel 9: was $799 now $299 at Mint Mobile

Lowest price: Save $500 on the price of a Google Pixel 9 at Mint Mobile, plus grab yourself an unlimited plan for just $15 a month. Like all Mint plans, this deal also includes unlimited calls and texts, 5G, and tethering at no extra cost. Your phone will also automatically unlock after 60 days, letting you move to any carrier you like once your plan ends.

Google Pixel 8
Google Pixel 8: was $699 now $349 at Best Buy

Best Buy has an insane deal on the Pixel 8. At $399, it's still cheaper than the Pixel 8a, which is crazy given how the Pixel 8 is higher on the totem pole. I love how for a compact sized phone, the Pixel 8 still carries a sharp looking display, excellent cameras that can handle low light, and even can lend me a hand with its Google AI features.
Note: You'll need to select the options for "we'll help you connect this phone to a carrier" to get the extra savings.

OnePlus 12
OnePlus 12: was $799 now $549 at OnePlus US & Canada

The OnePlus 12 is without question the best phones out there because it undercuts many of its competitors on price. It's already cheaper at $799, but OnePlus' early Black Friday slashes it down to $549. In addition to sporting the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 like its peers, the OnePlus 12 offers ridiculous fast charging and one of the longest battery life we've tested.

Google Pixel 8 Pro
Google Pixel 8 Pro: was $999 now $592 at Amazon

The 2023 flagship Pixel still delivers the goods thanks to a long software update window, great cameras and a bright display. And you can buy it for less than an entry level Pixel 9 with this deal.

Samsung Galaxy S24
Samsung Galaxy S24: was $799 now $659 at Amazon

Small but still mighty, the Galaxy S24 is a capable flagship Android phone that you might still consider small in a world dominated by huge handsets. Its cameras, chipset performance and AI features match or better any other full-size flagship phone you could throw at it.

Google Google Pixel 9 128GB
Google Google Pixel 9 128GB : was $799 now $548 at Amazon

The Google Pixel 9 comes with an improved Google Tensor 4 chip, 128GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. While it might not be as powerful as the Pro model, the base Pixel 9 has a lot to offer the user looking for something cheaper.

Google Pixel 9 Pro
Google Pixel 9 Pro: was $999 now $799 at Amazon

This small but powerful flagship Pixel offers some of the smartest cameras and software features around, with this Amazon discount making it the more affordable default price of a standard Pixel.

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: was $1,099 now $849 at Amazon

Amazon's Black Friday deal on the Pixel 9 Pro XL gives you an instant $250 off the cost of the phone, which makes the phone much more satisfying to buy at $849; versus its usual cost of $1,099. Best of all, the discount is instant and doesn't require any trade-ins of any kind,

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: was $1,299 now $949 at Amazon

This Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. It has a massive 6.8" display with a 3120 x 1440 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Add the highly-rated cameras and a high-end smartphone that'll make even the most tech-savvy people drool. With $250 off, it's the right time to buy. There's a reason we gave it a 4.5 in our S24 Ultra review.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: was $1,419 now $1,299 at Samsung

This Samsung Store offer costs a little more than the Amazon one, but it's covering the 512GB model. That means, you get double the storage from the base model for what you'd normally pay for the standard S24 Ultra. Second, you can save even more money by picking one of the unique Samsung-only colors — green, blue or orange.

Galaxy sale: up to $1,500 off @ Samsung

Galaxy sale: up to $1,500 off @ Samsung
Samsung is having a huge sale on its entire Galaxy line. For instance, you can get up to $750 off its Galaxy S24 Ultra with trade-in or $200 off with no trade. You can also save up to $800 on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 or up to $1,500 off the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with trade-in.

Best Black Friday foldable phone deals

Motorola Razr 2024
Motorola Razr 2024: was $699 now $99 at Cricket Wireless

New Cricket Wireless customers can snatch up the Motorola Razr 2024 for $99, or existing customers can get it for the same price when they add a line. This is an epic deal for a foldable phone because of how much of a bigger upgrade it is than last year's model. Specifically, it has a larger, higher resolution outer screen that works nicely for selfies and vlogging.

Motorola Razr 2023: was $699 now $349 @ Amazon

Motorola Razr 2023: was $699 now $349 @ Amazon
The Motorola Razr 2023 was already proof that foldable phones could be affordable, but the year old device is even more tempting at $348. At this price, it competes against some of the best cheap phones around. I also love how you can still pair the tiny external display with the rear cameras for vlogging — which you can't do on a traditional slate phone.

Motorola Razr Plus 2023: was $999 now $399 @ Best Buy

Motorola Razr Plus 2023: was $999 now $399 @ Best Buy
If you want an even better flip-style foldable phone, Motorola Razr Plus 2023 gives you more with its larger outer display, better dual cameras, and faster Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. You'll get the best deal from Best Buy on this phone, but you'll get the most savings by having it activated to a carrier.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: was $1,899 now $1,317 at Amazon

Buying either the Navy or Pink version of the latest Galaxy Z Fold gets you over 30% off, a noticeable saving on what's normally a very expensive phone.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 remains one of the top foldables if you want beautiful displays inside and out, a durable design, impressive performance and lots of AI features to try.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (Mint, 256GB): was $1,099 now $772 @ Amazon

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (Mint, 256GB): was $1,099 now $772 @ Amazon
The latest Samsung flip foldable is down $307 before Black Friday if you buy the green version. Its Galaxy AI features help you understand different languages, fix photos and more, while the flexible screen gives you new ways to watch video or capture photos and clips hands-free.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: was $999 now $699 at Best Buy

Only the unlocked version of last year's Galaxy Z Flip remains, but if you buy it, Best Buy will take $300 off the price. It lacks the power and staying power of the newer Z Flip 6, but the Galaxy Z Flip 5 remains a solid flip phone, and this deal means you can get it for nearly half the cost or the newer model.

OnePlus Open
OnePlus Open: was $1,699 now $1,199 at Amazon

You can check our OnePlus Open review for full details of why this phone's still our top foldable phone pick, but the lowdown is that it's a beautifully designed phone with generous specs, big and practical displays inside and out and a smart multi-tasking system. It's one of the most underrated foldables out there.

The good thing about Black Friday phone deals are that they make even the most expensive phones a lot more affordable. Case in point, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 — which is now $582 off at Amazon. It'll still cost you $1,317, so it's by no means cheap, but it's a lot more palatable than $1,899.

The Z Fold 6's main attraction is the large 7.6-inch foldable display, which gives you a tablet-like experience with all the portability of a phone. Samsung's also improved this model with a thinner and lighter design, boosted durability, exclusive Galaxy AI features and excellent performance from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Even Apple is getting involved with the Black Friday festivities. The annual Apple Store Shopping Event has just kicked off, and while Apple isn't discounting anything buying the right device will net you an Apple gift card of varying amounts. But only if you buy before the end of December 2 — aka Cyber Monday

iPhone 16 isn't part of this offer, but the iPhone 15 will come with a $75 gift card when you buy. Meanwhile if you want something a little cheaper, iPhone 14 comes with $50 gift credit and iPhone SE nets you $25 back. Then those cards can go towards buying something to complement your new phone — like a case or a charger.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is one of the best phones you can buy right now, but it isn't cheap. Fortunately Amazon has knocked the price down by $250 for Black Friday — meaning you'll have to pay $949 instead of $1,299.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra offers a lot for that price too. Not only does it have a gorgeous 6.8-inch display, it also offers a 200MP main camera, up to 100x zoom, over 16 hours of battery life in our testing, a built-in S Pen, support for Galaxy AI and more. And all with $250 off if you're quick about it.

Best iPhone SE deals

iPhones aren't know for being cheap, but the iPhone SE can offer that same iPhone experience in a much cheaper package. More so now that Black Friday is here, thanks to Walmart knocking the phone down to $149. Which is a fantastic deal, provided you're happy being locked to either Straight Talk or the Walmart Family carriers.

There's a lot packed into the iPhone SE. Excellent cameras for a cheap phone, 5G connectivity, a more durable design than you'd expect and a compact design — thanks to it being the smallest iPhone around. The design may be a bit dated, but it's still an excellent phone, particularly when the price is this low.

Black Friday phone deals cover a lot more than the phones themselves. Carriers are also offering discounts and offers on their service plans, but few seem to be as appealing at Mint Mobile — which is offering plans from as little as $15 a month.

You have two options with this deal. If you want to keep your existing phone and only go to Mint for your data, then you're only eligible for the $15 deal for 3 months. But if you buy a new phone as well, that offers extends up to a year. Best of all the deal applies to all Mint's data plans, including Unlimited — which is essentially half off the normal price

Other perks of Mint include tethering and 5G at no extra cost, unlimited minutes and texts, Wi-Fi calling plus free calls to Mexico and Canada. Ryan Reynolds has to call home sometimes, after all.

If you're looking for a brand new iPhone 16, then you can't get any better that this deal from Amazon and Boost Mobile. With it, you can pick up the iPhone 16 for $0.01 with no trade-ins required. That's not a typo, it really will cost you a single penny. The only catch is you have to sign up for a Boost Infinite unlimited data plan, which starts at $65 a month.

While the iPhone 16 doesn't have quite as impressive a camera or display compared to iPhone 16 Pro, it's still one of the best phones around. Not only does it have strong battery life and performance from the A18 chip, it also has the new camera control button and full access to Apple Intelligence — including the new Visual Intelligence AI vision mode.
