Upcoming Black Friday Smartphone Deals You Should Know About

Market predictions indicate significant discounts on smartphones during the upcoming Black Friday sales leading into the holiday season. These anticipated deals are often based on last year's offers, giving shoppers a glimpse of what to expect.

Android Devices
The unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to be available for around $350 or less, sometimes including a gift card, during Black Friday promotions until the sale concludes at Christmas. This price is a stark reduction from the regular price of about $750, which is typical outside the sale period.

Besides Samsung, smartphones from various brands will also be discounted during the Black Friday event.

iPhones
Models like iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X are expected to be on sale. The iPhone 8 might see smaller discounts compared to the iPhone 7, but unlocked versions could come with a discount card worth approximately $250 from online retailers. Additionally, carriers such as Verizon and T-Mobile may offer deals like free iPhone 8 with trade-ins of recent smartphones in good condition, typically requiring a two-year contract.

However, such trade-in offers are unlikely for the premium iPhone X. If early discounts don't meet expectations, waiting until the sale's final days could reveal deeper price reductions. For those willing to settle for an iPhone 7, carriers often have more attractive deals, sometimes as low as $100 or less. Last year, Verizon offered a refurbished iPhone 6S for just $1 with a two-year contract, a promotion that might recur this year for the iPhone 7.

Aside from flagship models, the Christmas smartphone sale is the ideal time to find deals on a broad range of devices, from Android to iPhone, with prices significantly lower than usual.

Prepare for the discounts to secure your favorite smartphone at an unbeatable price that will keep you satisfied until your next upgrade.
