In fact, we’ve already seen a good amount of Black Friday deals available for smartphones. So we’re here to round up the best Black Friday smartphone deals that you can pick up right now.
Some of these deals include all-time lows on phones like the Google Pixel 7a, or $200 off of the OnePlus Open, and many other great deals. Of course, because these are phone deals, a good number of them do require service – like the free 1TB iPhone 15 Pro Max, unfortunately.

How do we choose the Best Black Friday Phone Deals?
Here at AndroidHeadlines, we believe that the best Black Friday deals are only as good as the products that are on sale. Meaning, just because something has a big discount, doesn’t mean it’s a good deal. As you’ll see here, we did not mention any smartphones, these are all on the more expensive side, and that’s because it is a much better product than some of those cheaper smartphones.
Some other criteria that we used is if the pricing was lower than what it typically is. We cover deals all year round, so we know what the discount prices usually are. And all of those on this roundup are prices that are lower than the normal discounts. Not quite all-time lows, but pretty close. That way you can buy one now, and not worry about the price changing much, come Black Friday.
