Post-Cyber Monday phone sales: best deals
We loved our time with its more premium sibling during our Samsung Galaxy A56 review, but at this price, we think the A36 is perfectly suitable for most people. While you lose the aluminium frame and performance power, this model still offers an excellent display, clean software, 5G connectivity and a strong build. This software will also be supported for years to come.
Need a new phone without breaking the bank? This Motorola handset offers great value if you’re not chasing the latest and greatest. You’ll enjoy a vibrant display, impressive battery life, and solid everyday performance for the price. It’s not built for graphically intensive gaming, but it’s more than enough for day-to-day tasks.
If you're rocking an old iPhone but don't want to totally blow the budget on the new iPhone 17, the discounted iPhone 16e is a seriously great option. Sure, it only has one camera, but the 16e more than makes up for it with amazing battery life and impressive, up-to-date features like the Action button and Apple Intelligence.
The Xiaomi 15T Pro is pretty powerful, has a fantastic camera, and looks slick — it definitely has an iPhone vibe. So, if you're an Apple user thinking about jumping to Android, this could be a really solid option.
Boasting incredible performance, long battery life, and a beautiful, highly durable Titanium design, the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 is an easy recommendation with this deal. Although it lacks a zoom lens, its middling low light photography and high price had been our only major complaints previously.
Even though Samsung briefly slashed the price to AU$1,484.10 earlier this year, this price is still a fantastic deal. You get an epic battery, a gorgeous screen, and honestly, the best cameras on any Android — we're talking 200MP (wide) + 50MP (ultra-wide) + a 10MP telephoto lens. That said, the price may drop even further.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE offers some solid upgrades over earlier FE models, though it also comes with a higher price than the last version. At its regular cost, it’s close to the flagship S25, but a modest discount helps make it more affordable.
