Amazon Black Friday deals 2024

Update: Cyber Monday deals are underway so check out our Cyber Monday phone deals hub for the latest sales now.

Black Friday may be over, but Black Friday phone sales are still going strong through the weekend. If you're looking for a great phone at an even better price, it's time to act as some of these offers may not last until Cyber Monday.

I should know. 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 or Cyber Monday deal. 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 of Saturday 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 Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is $949 at Best Buy (a deal matched by Amazon).

At Apple, you won't find any discounted prices on the iPhone 16. But the iPhone maker's Apple Store Shopping Event will give you up to $75 gift card credit if you buy an iPhone 15, iPhone 14 or iPhone SE by Monday, December 2.

But there's more than just handsets on sale as Cyber Monday approaches. 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. There are also deals on cheap cell phone plans, like Mint's offer for $10/month.

If anything, though, Black Friday has shown us 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
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 $629 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 $149 @ WalmartPrice check: $179 @ Best Buy

Apple iPhone SE (2022): was $429 now $149 @ Walmart
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 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.
