We might be into Saturday, but there are still some really good Black Friday deals. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get one of the best phones around. Whether you're buying unlocked, on contract with a carrier or trading in an older device, it's true. If you're taking out a new line or trading in your current phone, you're going to get some seriously generous deals from manufacturers, retailers and carriers.
If you've got $400 in your pocket and you're looking to get a new phone, we've rounded up the best deals that'll get you a great phone without breaking the bank. We wouldn't assume these will be around through Cyber Monday because they could end at any moment.
The new top pick among the best phones is the Pixel 6 because of its powerful cameras and artificial intelligence tech. You can save up to $700 with an eligible trade-in if you buy it for $200 off with an unlimited plan.
$400 at the phone company.
If you're buying unlocked without a plan, the Google Pixel 5a is already down to its best price in history. The phone has a great battery life and a better camera for less.
At the store, there is a price of $399.
Mint Mobile will give you 12 months of service for free if you buy a phone and a service plan together. Mint Mobile is one of our favorite cell phone plans for affordability, so you'll keep saving even after your free year ends. If you're willing to spend a little more, you can get the upgraded N200 model.
You can save a lot of money by trading in an older phone for a new one. The flagship S21 Ultra can be had for as little as $449 with a trade-in if you have older devices.
