When you're in the market for a new mobile device, Black Friday holds endless possibilities. Whether its free phones for switching carriers or getting the most money back on your old device, the Black Friday season is the perfect time to upgrade the item you use most. And with the most recent release of Apple’s iPhone 12, major carriers are already running spectacular deals when you upgrade and trade in your old device. That also means that previous generation models (iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone SE) will have deeper discounts attached to them.
If you prefer Samsung devices, there are plenty of deals for you too, especially with the release of the Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra especially at retailers like Best Buy, Walmart and Amazon. So while everyone else is falling over the iPhone 12, you can score some great Black Friday pricing on Samsung devices. Other options where cellphone shoppers can save is to look for Google Pixel, Motorola and LG devices. While they don’t receive as much attention as their Apple and Samsung counterparts, these great options have more savings and carrier plans you might not have considered before.
