Best Black Friday phone deals 2024 — iPhone, Samsung and more

Why buy your next phone for full price?

Amazon Black Friday deals 2024

You can already find Black Friday phone deals on a number of great devices, even though the day itself is still over a week away. So if you've been admiring the best phones from afar, waiting for your time to bad a great offer, now's your time.

I’ve been reviewing phones for 16 years now, down from the days when flagships were only $200 with a 2-year contract, to how they’re financed through carriers today. However, you should never buy a phone at full price because they’re all guaranteed to go down in price at some point. The best Black Friday phone deals don’t just give you instant discounts on the hardware, they can also give you a full year’s worth of wireless service and can even include other phone accessories as part of the package.

Every morning I go through all the retailers and wireless carriers to uncover deals you might now know about on phones like the iPhone 16 Pro Max, Galaxy S24 Ultra, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. I’m equally particular about the best foldable phones out there because they’re obscenely more expensive, which is why I also look at deals on them so that it ends up like you’re paying for a budget phone instead.

Whatever phone you’re looking for, make sure to keep your web browser pointed here because my colleagues and I will share all the best Black Friday phone deals we uncover.

Why it's a great deal: The Galaxy Z Flip 6 price drops below $1,000, and you don't have to sign up with a carrier to get the discount.

It's no secret that Samsung raised prices on its foldable phones this year. But you can use Black Friday to take some of the sting out of those price hikes by getting the newest models at reduced prices.

Specifically, Best Buy is selling the Galaxy Z Flip 6 for $849, which saves you $250 off the usual $1,099 price. That matches Amazon's price on most models, though certain colors are available at slightly lower prices. (You can get the mint Galaxy Z Flip 6 for $800 at Amazon, for example.)

Want to save even more money on your flip phone? Activate the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with a carrier at purchase, and Best Buy takes another $100 off the cost, bringing your total down to $749.

This 3-in-1 MagSafe charger works vertically or horizontally — and it's 50% off

Why it's a great deal: It's 50% off and has a sleek design to charge your phone.

I've tried plenty of Lisen's wireless chargers, but this latest one does something that no other MagSafe charger can do: it can work vertically or horizontally. It looks discreet when it's flat on its back on my desk, but one quick motion I can turn it so that it's in vertical position.

Since it's a 3-in-1 MagSafe charger, it accommodates my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. It also supports Android phones with Qi2 charging, as well as other wireless earbuds. Thanks to its sleek design, it fits easily into my backpack to offer me 3-in-1 charging wherever I go.

Just make sure you clip the 50% off coupon on the landing page.

Anker Zolo Portable Charger Black Friday Deal.

(Image credit: Amazon)

Why it's a great deal: It has enough battery to charge most phones twice, and it only costs $15.

I'm always looking out for versatile phone chargers that can juice all of my phones, not just iPhones or Android phones. That's why I think you should check out the Anker Zolo Portable Charger because it features an integrated USB-C cable to charger all Android phones and some newer iPhones, plus a spare USB-C port to charge other things.

With its 10,000 mAh battery cell, it's able to provide almost two full charges with most phones. Its compact size also helps in keeping your bag or backpack as light as possible.

Apple iPhone 15 review.

(Image credit: Future)

Why it's a great deal: Major savings on a recent iPhone, plus unlimited data? What more could you ask for?

While it's not the latest model, the iPhone 15 is still a competent phone. And especially when you can buy an iPhone 15 for just $5.99 a month as part of an unlimited plan with AT&T.

The iPhone 15 offers a lot for its compact 6.1-inch size, including strong battery life, speedy performance and a detailed 48MP main camera. A Pro iPhone will get you more features of course, but this is one of our top value picks for this Black Friday in terms of iPhone deals.

Why it's a great deal: Discounts on new phones often come with catches. So it's nice to see a simple money-off offer on an up-to-date iPhone with plenty of options on further payments and contracts.


Let's look at a U.K. deal for the latest iPhone. Carrier Giffgaff is offering users an iPhone 16 with 128GB storage for £50 less right now, which we appreciate isn't a very large discount. But it's the stuff you get other than the money back that makes this a good deal.

Since Giffgaff lets you choose between four different up-front payments, a one, two or three-year payment plan for the rest of the phone's cost and then your pick of its data plans on top, this is an amazingly customizable deal. If you're drawn to big discounts on new tech but then find the Ts & Cs are too restrictive, this might be one for you to look at.

iPhone 16 Pro Max

Why this is a great deal: Perhaps the deepest discount we'll see all Black Friday, you can get Apple's latest flagship phone for effectively just the price of a contract.

The amazing offer of a Pro iPhone for just a cent had disappeared over the past few days, but we're happy to report you can again get an iPhone 16 Pro Max for just $0.01 with a Boost Mobile unlimited plan from Amazon.

Granted you need to pay around $70 a month for three years in order to get the phone for such a low price. But if you like having unlimited data, and the sound of the largest, most powerful and smartest iPhone ever is good to you, then there's really no beating this deal right now.

Why it's a great deal: A sub-$200 phone is even cheaper. And it's a discount on the most recent model.

You're not considering the Moto G 5G because you want a smartphone with all the latest bells and whistles. You get this phone because you want something functional that won't cost an arm and a leg. And a Black Friday discount at Amazon lets you get the 2024 model for even less than you'd normally pay.

The Moto G 5G (2024) normally costs $199, but Amazon has dropped the price to $199. But Amazon is dropping the price by $30 to $169 — maybe not the biggest price drop we've seen, but certainly a bargain-basement price on a surprisingly decent phone.

We think the Moto G 5G (2024) is the best cheap phone under $200, with a design that's a lot more stylish than you'd expect from something with a price tag this low. More importantly, our Moto G 5G (2024) review found a phone that lasts a long time on a charge, as do many Moto G series handsets. Yes, you're not getting blazing fast performance or a very bright screen, but you're getting a dependable phone that won't put a hurting on your bottom line — with even less sticker shock thanks to Amazon's discount.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE held in the hand.

(Image credit: Future)

Why it's a great deal: It's a better version of the Galaxy S24, but cheaper.

You'd be surprised by what today's mid-range phones can do. Take for instance the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, which despite launching a month ago, is already getting a generous discount courtesy of Amazon. This unlocked model is wonderful for so many reasons, like how it has a brighter, more vibrant AMOLED display than the standard Galaxy S24.

Secondly, it has access to all the same Galaxy AI features that debuted with the Galaxy S24 earlier this year. And thirdly, I find that its triple camera system is versatile enough to handle my video shooting needs, especially when it can shoot 8K video just like the pricier Galaxy S24 Plus and Ultra.

When you factor all of this, it's honestly hard to overlook the Galaxy S24 FE as a worth daily driver.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: was $649 now $474 @ Amazon

Anker MagGo Power Bank Ultra-Slim 10,000mAh with black Friday badge.

(Image credit: Amazon)

Why it's a great deal: It's a portable charger that travels anywhere your iPhone goes.

One of the painful lessons I've learned frequently traveling for work is that I never know when I'll have the time to charge my phone. That's why I like to keep a portable charger in my bag, and this Anker MagGo Power Bank fits the bill.

iPhone owners will appreciate being able to strap this 10,000 mAh battery to the back of their device, but I also love it because it makes for a useful iPhone stand when I'm at work. In landscape, it'll kick it into StandBy mode to make it act as a digital photo frame while I work.

Android users can still use the Anker MagGo Power Bank, just as long as they have a magnetic phone case. Or they can simply connect it directly to its USB-C port. Either way, 71% off is an outstanding deal!

Google Pixel 8 Pro

(Image credit: Tom's Guide)

Why it's a great deal: A fantastic photography phone that won't become outdated any time soon thanks to a long software support schedule means you can invest in this flagship device with confidence.

Last year, Google took a big step forward with the Pixel 8 Pro, one of the first phones focused on AI features and lots of future updates. And you can still appreciate that all today with this 28% discount on the Pixel 8 Pro at Amazon.

Google's phones have always had excellent photography, and the Pixel 8 Pro continues that trend with its combination of 50MP main, 48MP ultrawide and 48MP 5x zoom cameras. New however are AI-drived features like Magic Eraser for photos and video audio, Best Take for picking and choosing expressions in a group photo, and more recently Circle to Search. And with Google promising full Android updates until 2030 for the Pixel 8 series, there will only be more to try as time passes

Oneplus 12r hands-on

Why it's a great deal: Flagship-grade specs meet a budget phone price with this OnePlus store discount, ideal for users who aren't fussed with photos but do care for power and battery.

Time for another U.K. deal, this time on a mid-range phone with excellent performance. At OnePlus' online store, you can grab a OnePlus 12R with £200 off, with the option for further discounts if you're a student or are classed as a "key worker".

The OnePlus 12R is a standout phone for its battery life in particular, sitting in second place on our best phone battery life leaderboard. It's also equipped with a big and bright 6.78-inch display on par with premium Android phones, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip that helps it glide through tasks with minimal effort. If you can do without a telephoto zoom camera or wireless charging, you'll miss out on nothing by going for the OnePlus 12R over a flagship phone, especially at this price.

Why it's a great deal: More storage and color options you won't see elsewhere, plus all the flagship Android phone trimmings you expect.

To get the obvious out of the way - this isn't the cheapest you'll find the Galaxy S24 Ultra for this Black Friday. But this deal for an unlocked 512GB Galaxy S24 Ultra in a Samsung-exclusive color for $999 may still be the best option around.

First, Samsung's offering storage upgrades for free, so the 512GB model here costs the same as the 256GB model, with the 1TB model costing $240 more than that. Second, you save $300 by picking one of the usual four S24 Ultra colors, but save the full amount by picking Samsung's exclusive online store colors - Titanium Orange, Titanium Blue or Titanium Green. It's a great way to get a unique-looking phone with plenty of storage while saving money at the same time.

Mint Mobile plans

(Image credit: Mint Mobile)

Why it's a great deal: You're basically paying a rate of $10/month for this cell phone plan.

There are plenty of awesome phone deals happening right now ahead of Black Friday, but you should also be aware about deals on cell phone plans. Take Mint Mobile for example, which is having an incredible deal where you can basically get three months of service for only $30.

When you sign up for 3 months with Mint Mobile's 5GB/month plan, you'll end up paying $30 instead of the normal $45. That's because when you buy 2 months at the rate of $15/month, you get the third month for free when you apply the promo code FREEMONTH at checkout. This rate comes out to $10/month, which is an insane amount for cell phone service.

Moto G 5G stylus review

(Image credit: Future)

Why it's a great deal: Big on productivity with its included stylus.

At first glance, the Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 might seem like another forgettable budget phone, but you can't overlook it when it's being given such a great discount ahead of Black Friday. For a limited time, you can snag an unlocked version of the Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 for $149 when you activate it on a wireless carrier at Best Buy.

This can make for an excellent backup phone because its 5,000 mAh battery offers extra long battery life. In fact, it reaches a mark of 15 hours and 1 minute on Tom's Guide's battery benchmark test. If that's not enough, it has a brighter screen that pairs nicely when you're using its stylus to draw or jot down something.

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

Why it's a great deal: Foldable phones are rarely under $500.

This was posted very early on, but I want to bring attention back to it because it's since been lowered in price. Best Buy has last year's Motorola Razr Plus 2023 for $399 when you have it activated online with a carrier, which makes it an even better buy than before.

What I love about this model, as opposed to the newer Razr Plus 2024 that I reviewed, is that it has the ultrawide camera that I much prefer in a flip style phone like this. I know that some people value a telephoto camera, like the one in the newer Razr Plus 2024, but the ultrawide in the 2023 model is more suitable for vlogging and self recordings.

If that's not enough, you're getting a foldable phone that costs less than many mid-range phones.

Google Pixel 8a

(Image credit: Tom's Guide)

Let's give the U.K. deal hunters some love and highlight this offer on the Pixel 8a - currently just £369 from Google's own online store.

This phone is our current top pick for the best cheap phone around, and it's easy to see why. The Pixel 8a offers premium features like a 120Hz display, flagship-grade Tensor G3 chipset and all of Google's well-implemented AI features, while still costing less than half the price of a flagship phone at its regular price. With this discount, and considering the 8a also offers seven years of full software updates, this deal could set you up with a great phone that will remain great for the best part of the decade to come.

(Image credit: Tom's Guide)

The iPhone 15 Pro remains a great phone to pick up even a year after launch, since it's one of the only phones outside the iPhone 16 series able to use Apple Intelligence. Which is why we want to highlight this $23/month offer for the iPhone 15 Pro with a three-year contract offer available with At&T via Walmart.

Beyond its AI-powered features, the iPhone 15 Pro dazzles with an impressive camera array (featuring a 48MP main camera), a luxurious titanium-clad design and an Action button that you can set to activate all sorts of different features depending on what you think is handy. And all that comes in a compact 6.1-inch body, one of the smallest you'll find for a premium phone.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra back

(Image credit: Tom's Guide)

We'll admit that we didn't expect to be posting another Galaxy S24 Ultra deal this soon. But Amazon has discounted the S24 Ultra even further to $949, the new cheapest price we've ever seen it for.

On offer for all colors except Titanium Yellow, this phone gives you a quad-camera array, a bright and colorful display, strong performance and battery life and lots of Galaxy AI features to try out. It's the ultimate Android phone on sale right now, which is why we keep recommending it.

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

OnePlus Open held in hand

(Image credit: Future)

Sure, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is great, but we like the OnePlus Open even better. In fact, in our OnePlus Open review we gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars, and this phone sits at the top of our best foldable phone list. This device gives you a huge 7.82-inch display on the inside and a 6.31-inch screen on the outside, and the multitasking software system can't be beat.

We also like the thin and light design, the nearly 12 hours of battery life in our testing and the super fast 67W charging that gets you to 50% in just 15 minutes. Right now you can save $200 on the OnePlus open, bringing the price down to $1,499.

OnePlus Open: was $1,699 now $1,499 @ Amazon

(Image credit: Future)

Folks, we've got ourselves a price drop. A few days ago, we told you about the Galaxy S24 Ultra and how it was available for a low — if not lowest— price of $1,092 at Amazon. Well, Amazon's dropped the price again to $999. That's $300 off the regular price for the 256GB version.

Yes, Samsung's probably doing that to clear a path before the Galaxy S25 launch in 2025, but don't let that stand in the way of a killer deal. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is already a great phone, and it will continue to be so, especially at this low price. Besides, given Samsung's history with software updates, the Galaxy AI features rolling out with the S25 could find their way to the S24 over time.

And if Amazon's not your thing, don't worry — Best Buy has a discount on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, where the phone is also $300 off its regular $1,299 price.

Why it's a great deal: It'll make your videos extra steady.

As much as I love taking photos using any of the best camera phones around, I'm more a video person. That's because video resonates more on social media, which is why I'm recommending the DJI Osmo Mobile 6. Sure, the DJI Pocket 3 is a compelling tool for content creators and videographers, but the Osmo Mobile 6 effectively does the same thing with your phone.

Aside from better stabilizing the videos you record with your phone, the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 can act like your own personal camera guy thanks to its active tracking feature that follows you around if you move. This is perfect when you want to showcase something in a video or if you're conducting interviews. Best of all, you can also pull off those Inception-like rolls and pans to make your videos stand out.

Samsung Galaxy A35 Black Friday deal.

(Image credit: Future)

Why it's a great deal: It's priced like a budget phone, but looks premium.

It's the cheapest brand new Galaxy phone you can get, which is why it stands out for me. I checked out the Galaxy A35 a while ago and I was amazed by the rich features it offered at $399. With Amazon's early Black Friday deal, it's even cheaper to own thanks to an instant $100 discount that brings its cost down to $299.

What's even more impressive about the Galaxy A35 is that for a budget phone, it features a premium design that dazzles. Specifically, the lilac color of the phone shimmers in a rainbow patterns with its glass meets metal trim design. If that's not enough, I love the punchy looks of its 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display.

iPhone SE 2022 back of phone at beach

(Image credit: Future)

I wouldn't normally say it's a good time to pick up an iPhone SE, as a new model is rumored to be just months away. But since the iPhone SE is down to $179 with a prepaid Total by Verizon contract at Best Buy, it's become a lot harder to ignore.

The body of the iPhone SE 2022 is old-looking for sure, but I know there are some of you out there who still prefer a tiny handset with a physical home button compared to the larger all-screen designs of current flagship iPhones. Plus it's still 5G compatible, and the A15 chip remains powerful enough and new enough to run the latest iOS version and all your everyday apps. It would make an excellent first smartphone for a lucky someone, young or old, or a competent but less tempting option for anyone wanting to reduce their screen time.

If you need to quickly build up an Apple ecosystem of your own, this Verizon deal on the iPhone 16 Pro lets you get an iPad and Apple Watch for free with unlimited contracts.

Note that's "contracts" plural. While you don't have to buy the iPad (10th Gen), Apple Watch Series 10 or Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) like you do with the iPhone 16 Pro, Verizon's only selling the cellular-ready versions of these gadgets, and will only part with them if you buy them with unlimited data contracts too. Obviously that's going to be a big commitment, but it could be worthwhile if all your devices are in need of a big upgrade.

Samsung Galaxy A35 on a bench with a black friday deal badge

(Image credit: Future)

Here's an early Black Friday phone deal that sounds like it's not going to be around once Black Friday proper arrives. Amazon is listing the Samsung Galaxy for $299, a $100 discount off its regular price. (Best Buy is selling the Galaxy A35 at the same $299 price.) Amazon explicitly calls this a limited time deal, so if you're thinking of picking up Samsung's midrange phone, there's no time like the present.

And the Galaxy A35 is definitely worth a look. We're currently testing the phone for a review that will appear in the next week, but we have gone hands-on with the Galaxy A35, and we like what we've seen, particularly from the phone's colorful display and its different camera settings. Testing the Galaxy A35 against other low-cost cameras, it delivers some pretty sweet-looking shots.

Best of all, Samsung has added Circle to Search support for this A series phone. You may not find the more extensive Galaxy AI features supported by Samsung's pricier models, but there aren't many sub-$400 phones that boast AI features, let alone one as useful as Circle to Search.

Samsung Galaxy A35: was $399 now $299 @ Amazon (Price Check: $299 @ Best Buy)

OnePlus 12 Black Friday deal.

(Image credit: Future)

Why it's a great deal: You get a flagship phone at a mid-range price.

Flagship phones tend to cost $1,000 at the very least, but the OnePlus 12 continues the company's legacy of undercutting the competition. For its early Black Friday deal, the OnePlus 12 can be snagged for $549 by using the code 'ADVANCEBF' at checkout, down from its normal price of $799.

I've tested the OnePlus 12 in great detail and I'm most impressed by the performance of its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which in turn helps out its power efficiency. In fact, it has one of the best phone battery life at over 17 hours. If that's not enough, it's also one of the fastest to charge with its obscene 80W charging speed that gets it to a full charge in 30 minutes flat.

Yes it's pretty basic, but there are some folks out there that could live with the Moto G 5G 2023. That's because it covers all the basics you'd want in a phone, including a 6.5-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 48MP main camera that's good enough for most situations, and 5G connectivity to get you surfing the web at fast speeds.

This early Black Friday deal from Best Buy lets you snag the Moto G 5G 2023 for $39 when it's activated on a carrier. No trade in is necessary to get this discount. You could make it as a second phone or as a backup. Either way, it's not often you get phones at this price.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 review.

You'll have to pretend the blue Galaxy Z Flip 6 above is actually green, since it's the mint version of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is currently discounted over 25% on Amazon.

Samsung's smaller foldable excels when it comes to speed and AI features, and is pretty good for photography too. Plus the Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes with seven years of software support and a toughened Armor Aluminum frame to ensure it keeps delivering long into the future.

Google raised the price of its standard flagship Pixel again this year with the Pixel 9, but this deal from Mint Mobile, which lets you get the Pixel 9 for half price plus a $15/month unlimited data contract for 12 months, helps ease the pain.

Even if it's more expensive by default, the Pixel 9 remains a fantastic phone. It offers top-notch photography, a long battery life, seven years of software support, and some of the smartest software and AI features of any new phone.

Galaxy S24 Ultra with S Pen and a Black Friday deal badge

(Image credit: Future)

Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra is a king-sized phone with a king-sized price tag. But early Black Friday deals are certainly doing something about the latter.

Right now, you can get Samsung's premium phone for $1,092. That's $207 off the regular Galaxy S24 Ultra starting price of $1,299.

That gets you the base model of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which features a generous 256GB of storage. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which not only delivers the best performance of any Android phone but also helps the S24 Ultra last a long time on a charge — nearly 17 hours in our testing. All of that and the S24 Ultra's superior zoom features might be enough to convince you that the phone is worthy its usually hefty asking price, but our Galaxy S24 Ultra review notes that the Galaxy AI features debuting on this phone are both impressive and practical. We'd also anticipate more AI capabilities to come via software updates, as Samsung isn't shy about rolling out newer features to its premium phones.

Motorola razr 2023 with Black Friday deal badge.

(Image credit: Future)

Didn't I say that foldable phones shouldn't cost you an arm and leg anymore? Well, the Motorola Razr 2023 is proof that owning a foldable phone is obtainable on any budget thanks to Amazon's insane 50% off deal.

The Razr 2023 was already discounted over other flip style foldable phones, but this added discount makes it much better. Not only does it have that cool factor of folding, but there's actually a lot of utility here with its external display. That's despite being a tiny strip versus the larger outer screens in other flip style phones, but it's still usable because it can be used to take better selfies with its rear cameras.

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

iPhone 13

(Image credit: Future)

Straight Talk is offering a pretty incredible deal on the iPhone 13. Sure, it's three generations old at this point, but you can't pass up on a new iPhone that will cost you only $244. What makes this deal better is that you can technically get it unlocked after 60-days of service, which means you'll be able to take it elsewhere.

Other reasons why this is an excellent Black Friday phone deal is because you're getting a compact sized iPhone that can take exquisite photos from its dual cameras. And considering that it can run the latest software, iOS 18, it benefits from nearly all the same features you'll find with the newer iPhone 16.

The latest iPhone 16 models are likely at the top of many shoppers' lists when it comes to deal hunting. And this offer from Boost Mobile and Amazon lets you pay just a single cent up front in return for the range-topping iPhone 16 Pro Max and an unlimited data plan.

Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max perhaps needs no introduction, but nonetheless, we can vouch for how good this phone is. The largest display of any iPhone ever, more capable cameras, the new Camera Control for easier photography, excellent battery life and the growing collection of Apple Intelligence features mean you'll want for basically nothing. Unless you're an Android fan, of course.
