Officially, Cyber Monday 2022 has wrapped up. However, some of the best phone deals are still active, which means more opportunities for Aussies in dire need of a smartphone upgrade to snag a phone deal.
It goes without saying that many of the best phones of 2022 are quite expensive, but that doesn't mean you have to pay full retail price. In fact, it's not uncommon for the year's top models to have hundreds of dollars slashed from their RRP.
In Australia, we tend to see great smartphone deals from both retailers and telcos, and that was indeed the case this year, too. Below you'll find the best Cyber Monday phone discounts that are still available after the sale's end date. Be warned — these deals won't last much longer.

Cyber Monday phone deals — what you should know
Every Cyber Monday, phones of all brands will usually receive significant discounts, with the biggest savings often going to the previous year's models. That said, It's still common to see hundreds of dollars slashed from the latest models.
Additionally, it's important to take note of what kind of stock is being offered. Sometimes the discounted phones are unlocked, while other times they have some carrier deal attached to them.
You may also see international stock with big discounts applied, though you should always make sure the phone in question is compatible with Australia's networks and is backed by warranty.
Should I buy a phone on Cyber Monday?
Typically, Cyber Monday is one of the best times to buy a phone, either unlocked or tied to a telco. It's quite common to see hundreds of dollars slashed from the biggest brands, including Apple and Samsung.
If you're in the market for a new phone in 2022, the Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend is a great time to upgrade.
How do I get the best Cyber Monday phone deals?
The best course of action is to search around for the best Cyber Monday phone deals. That may mean sifting through dodgy or deceptive sales, but it's good to get an idea of what prices your desired phone is going for at multiple retailers.
That said, you shouldn't wait too long, because a truly great deal will only last as long as the amount of stock that's available from any given retailer. Our advice is to make sure to keep an eye out on stock levels wherever that information is offered.
