Save money on that shiny new flagship device with our guide to the very best cell phone deals this month.
With so many carriers, retailers, devices and not to mention the prohibitive asking price on a new flagship, finding the best cell phone deals can sometimes feel like a tall order. Don’t fret though, we’ve been comparing all the latest offers from the big carriers, smaller companies, and even unlocked retailers to come up with a quick list of cell phone deals you won’t want to miss this week. What’s more, you may even find that new shiny phone isn’t as expensive as you originally thought — all it takes is a little know-how, which we’re more than willing to provide. Cell phone deals generally come in two forms. Firstly, as an outright discount on the upfront price, which is especially common on unlocked devices, and secondly as a bundle deal on a trade-in or new plan purchase at a carrier. That’s not to say there are other great options though, so if you’re planning on trading in your old phone for a new unlocked device, you’ll be able to get a great cell phone deal on those too. Now’s also a great time to be looking as well, as phones generally receive discounts over national sales events — you can expect Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday deals this month, and also we recommend reading our guide to the upcoming Black Friday phone deals. We’ve rounded up our top picks just down below, but if you’re looking for something a little more specific, we’ve also got individual sections for carrier deals, unlocked phones, and prepaid phones. Simply scroll down or use the handy navigation links to jump to the section that’s relevant to you. If you don’t mind switching carriers, you can find many of the best smartphone deals from the big four. The major carriers will often let you split the cost of the phone into monthly payments anywhere from 18 to 30 months, and sometimes longer. The deals they offer frequently cut the price of the phone in half, sometimes even offering the phone for free.
