Black Friday is coming up fast, which means it’s your best chance this year to score significant deals on major purchases. You don’t have to wait until the 28th to start saving either; the discounts are already rolling in at our favorite brands and retailers, including some of the lowest prices on phones we’ve seen all year. The best Black Friday phone deals so far can even get you a new smartphone or bundle of devices for free.
Some of the best deals we’re seeing right now are available at Verizon, where you can get a free bundle of Apple, Samsung, or Google devices when you add a new line. But if you’re not ready to upgrade your whole tech lineup, you can also score one-off device deals at several carriers with qualifying new lines or trade-ins. It’s important to note that these devices aren’t paid off from the start; the savings come in the form of billing credits over a period of several months. Still, the device will be essentially “free” as long as you don’t break your contract early. If you’re not looking to switch your mobile carrier right now, you can also keep scrolling for deals on unlocked devices, including recently released models.
Ahead, we’re breaking down the best Black Friday deals from our favorite mobile carriers and tech brands. If you’re still shopping, head over to the rest of our Black Friday coverage for more of the best sales and deals the biggest shopping event of the year has to offer.
