Best Black Friday 2023 phone deals

If you’ve been putting off a new phone purchase all year, then I have great news: your procrastination is about to pay off. Black Friday has officially arrived with some excellent deals in tow — think Pixels, iPhones, and Galaxy devices for hundreds of dollars below MSRP. And even if you picked up a new phone recently, it’s a great time to stock up on some new cases, chargers, and accessories. And when you’re done looking at phones, you can check out our entire Black Friday roundup.

Google didn’t hold back on this year’s Black Friday deals. The Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are barely a month old, but they’re subject to some significant discounts. And if you were eyeing a Pixel Fold, now might be the time — at $1,400 it’s a better offer than at its $1,700 MSRP.

Samsung is offering deals across the board on its S23 series phones, which will likely be replaced at the beginning of 2024. But even with a successor on the horizon, $899 for the Galaxy S23 Ultra is an awfully good deal. Take a look at the healthy discounts on Samsung’s folding phones, too.

Motorola’s Razr Plus flip phone is an awful lot of fun, and with a 30 percent discount, it’s a tempting offer. The company’s flagship-status 2023 Edge Plus falls a little short of the offerings from Google and Samsung when considering its full $799 price, but at a 26 percent discount, it makes much more sense.
