People get ever so excited every year as the festive shopping season gets closer. It’s only during the sales that one can finally get that smartphone ticked off a rather long bucket list. But only a few brands truly offer worthy deals during these sales. And luckily, we’ve done our holiday season homework, so you don’t have to. Here are some brands that may offer the best Black Friday smartphone deals this year.

Apple
Those who prefer an iOS device can check out the different iPhone series from Apple. In the past, we’ve seen some unbelievable discounts on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models, and we have our fingers crossed for similar deals on iPhones this year. The brand may offer around 30% off or more on its official website. Moreover, considering earlier deals, network carriers like Verizon may offer up to $1,000 when you trade in your old or damaged phone for a new device with their select Unlimited plans. A $200 Verizon gift card may also be issued when you switch a line.

Samsung
If you’re looking for smartphones tailored to any budget, Samsung has you covered. Based on past and current offers, one can pick an eligible device from the Galaxy S22 series for as low as $0 with eligible trade-ins. The deal is available on Verizon’s official website and also comes with a $200 gift card when you switch to their select 5G Unlimited plans. We’ve also found deals on Samsung’s website where the brand offers an instant $150 off, with up to $700 enhanced trade-in credit. Fingers crossed, we hope for similar deals on Samsung phones during the big sale. You may also find fantastic offers on the Galaxy Z Fold series and receive a minimum of $300 credit with any Galaxy phone or iPhone trade-in in any condition. The terms and conditions are available on Samsung’s official website.

Google
For people who want a near-stock Android experience, we recommend a device from the Google Pixel series. Considering sales building up to the holiday season, we expect the brand to drop prices up to $150 on their older Pixel 6 models. Google may also offer bundle deals on their Pixel 7 lineup, including three months of YouTube Premium and Google One. Another offer we expect on select flagships includes trading in an eligible iPhone or another device to get a Pixel 7 model for as low as $0. You can check out Google’s official website for their latest offers on smartphones.

Motorola
Another popular brand for the best Black Friday smartphone deals is Motorola. Considering past trends, the company might offer its Edge series devices for up to $400 off or more this year. We found this deal under their website’s “Leak Sale” tab. Other offers to look forward to are those on the Moto G series. The budget devices have seen price cuts up to $300 in the past, and we may get similar deals this year. For those who want a unique device, we recommended the Razr phone, which was priced at a discount of about $1,000 on Verizon’s website.

OnePlus
OnePlus is known for its many innovative devices and deals during the holiday shopping season. During this year’s Black Friday sale, expect up to 50% off select OnePlus audio accessories when you buy their flagship OnePlus 10 series smartphone. Moreover, their Black Friday Mystery Box page is something you should not miss. As part of the festive offer, customers may get up to $940 worth of coupons inside the box. The bundle may also include the high-performing OnePlus 10 device. The details of the deal are available on the OnePlus website.
