It feels like we’ve been looking at deals all month, but today is the actual day – the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday. Here are some of the best deals that we managed to find in the US. We’ve broken them down into categories to try and make them easier to navigate.
Don’t forget to have a look out our Deals page, it is automatically refreshed with the most recent price and you can see a price history for the phones to make sure you are actually getting a good deal.
Foldables
This year you can finally buy a foldable phone like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G for under $1,000 – for a dollar less if you’re paying regular prices or $150 less with this deal on Amazon that knocks the price down to $850 for the 128 GB model. This offer also comes with a discount on a pair of Galaxy Buds2.
Amazon has all the colors, but the Bespoke edition of the phone is available only on Samsung.com. The regular price is discounted by $150, but since the Bespoke model is a bit pricier than the regular one, the final price is $950. On the plus side, you get a free pair of Galaxy Buds2. Samsung also has the regular version of the Z Flip3 and while the discount is only $100, you do get a pair of Buds2 for free.

If you prefer a larger screen, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G from Samsung.com is $250 down, so it starts at $1,650 (it also comes with free Buds2). As a reminder, Samsung is accepting trade-ins of old phones (even with a cracked screen), tablets and smartwatches, so you can get that price a lot lower.
While it is less advanced that the Flip, the Motorola Razr 5G has an iconic look – whether that makes the $800 price tag is for you to decide, but if the answer is “yes”, then here’s the offer over at Amazon and at Best Buy.
