OK, so this one isn't specifically a Labor Day deal but hear us out - Verizon has one of its best deals ever on the iPhone 13 right now. Specifically, the carrier is offering either the choice between the usual trade-in rebate of up to $800 (enough to cover the entire device cost) or an awesome buy-one-get-one-free multi-line saving. Both are incredibly strong choices right now and perfect if you're looking to either switch or renew an unlimited line. Note, new customers will also get an additional $200 as a welcome bonus if they come over to the carrier.

Here's a little tip - if you're looking for awesome big carrier phone deals, often it's Best Buy who has the best promotions. Right now, for example, it's offering a really incredible activation rebate of up to $300 on the Galaxy S22 series - a saving that stacks on top of the usual trade-in savings. Eligible for AT&T and Verizon devices, this one-two combo is available on all devices but it's the excellent Galaxy S22 Ultra that's available with the biggest savings.

Google Pixel 6a: $449 $299 w/ activation at Best Buy
Pick up the Google Pixel 6a for its lowest-ever non-trade-in price at Best Buy this week. Eligible with a carrier activation on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Google Fi plans, this is a great deal if you're looking for a speedy mid-range Android device to pair up with a premium 5G data plan. While there's still a hoop to jump through, there's no need to trade in a device to get a really significant price cut.

Google Pixel 6a: $449 $399 at Amazon

Alternatively, get yourself an unlocked device at Amazon, which is also offering its lowest-ever price on the Google Pixel 6a. While it's not quite as good a deal as Best Buy's on paper, there's no commitment to sign up for a pricey plan at a big carrier with this deal, which makes it perfect if you're going to go with Mint Mobile, Visible, or any of the best prepaid plans on the market currently.

Save $900 – A new entry in the foldable phone field, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is expensive but like nothing else out there. That expense is significantly lower – by up to a massive $900 – in the Samsung Labor Day sale. It's a good price for a stylish handset that's a versatile hybrid of phone and tablet in a smaller form factor. It's ideal for the professional who needs to multitask.

Save $700 – The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a premium-looking clamshell foldable phone – even if it lacks a powerful battery and is still expensive for what it offers. It's a fashion phone but one that offers the right amount of features to make it your daily phone too. With the right trade-in, though, it's now far more accessible after discounts of up to $700 – plus a free $50 voucher.
