Updated on Nov. 25, 2021

If you're hunting for the cheapest Black Friday 2021 phone deals on unlocked smartphones and contracts, you're in the right place. As an upgrade for yourself or as a gift you'll find the best discounts on top brands including Apple iPhones, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and Sony Xperia. As well as the best contract sales on offer from the likes of Vodafone, Three, O2, and more.

In the UK retailers such as eBay, Amazon, Curry's and Very have already started their Black Friday sales. For US customers, Best Buy and Amazon are both making early discounts available.

Some of the biggest deals are expected on older models. Such as the iPhone 12, SE and 11, and the Galaxy S20. But that doesn't mean you can't snap up a great deal or bundle offer on an Apple iPhone 13, Google Pixel 6 or a Samsung Galaxy Fold3.

Top Apple iPhone deals

Deals on iPhones are starting to appear in the Black Friday sales. Apple itself doesn't join in with the Black Friday sale but runs its own event giving away vouchers to customers. Last year the store gave vouchers worth £120/$US150. We're not expecting huge drops on the price iPhone 13 but there are some deals out there, and some networks are offering deals on contracts with no upfront costs or discounts on data plans. Or both. The differences between the 13 and the iPhone 12 are small enough that you can easily snap up a bargain with the drops in prices expected on this older handset.

If you're looking for a new contract now is a good time to upgrade. In the UK, Vodafone is offering £288 off the iPhone 13 if you trade in your iPhone 11, and many of the other providers are offering discounts and deals such as double the data or even triple. The Carphone Warehouse as the iPhone 12 256GB at the same price as the 128GB handset.

UK

  • Apple iPhone 12 5G - £629 at Giff Gaff (was £679)
  • Apple iPhone 12 Pro 256GB for the price of 128GB - £899 at Currys (was £128GB, now 256GB)

Top Samsung Galaxy deals

If you're in the market for a Samsung phone, the Black Friday sale in the Samsung shop is just starting. Sign up to get exclusive early notice of discounts. The biggest savings this year are expected on the Galaxy S21 series particularly when bought with a contract. SIM-free deals are already available with considerable savings on older models such as the Galaxy A22. Going by previous Black Friday sales we don't expect a price drop on the handsets for the newest Galaxy Z series with the Fold3 and Flip3. However we would love to be surprised, and we do expect some good bundle deals with networks.
