Black Friday phone deals 2024: which sales have started and the best early deals

iPhone 16 Pro: £44.99/mo for 500GB data at iD Mobile
Carphone Warehouse is currently offering a Black Friday deal on iD Mobile's 24-month iPhone 16 Pro plan. For just £44.99/mo and £39 upfront, you'll get a whopping 500GB of data, which is quintuple (5x) the usual 100GB offering. iD Mobile itself also has various discounts on monthly plans, albeit with higher upfront fees than this Carphone Warehouse deal.

iPhone 13: was £499 now £449 at Argos
Despite its discontinuation, Argos is still stocking the 128GB iPhone 13 in black or white. £449 is an exceptional price on an iPhone that is, for all intents and purposes, the same device as the iPhone 14, and it'll continue to be supported by Apple with software updates until at least 2028. The iPhone 13 is also currently still available at Amazon, albeit in more limited color and storage configurations.

iPhone 14: was £599 now £549 at Amazon
Amazon continues to knock £50 off the price of the iPhone 14 ahead of Black Friday. This device has been as low as £539 once before, and it may drop to that level again on Black Friday proper, but £549 is still a pretty great deal on a device that cost £699 just a year ago. We would always recommend going for the iPhone 13 over the iPhone 14 – their designs are identical, their cameras are (almost) identical and their chipsets are separated by just one generation – but with the iPhone 13 now harder to come by following Apple's discontinuation of the device, the iPhone 14 is a more appealing option (the iPhone 13 is, however, still available at Argos).

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: was £1799 now £1249 from Laptops Direct
This astounding deal from Laptops Direct brings the cutting-edge Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 down to the same price as the Galaxy S24 Ultra – meaning you're effectively getting the folding aspect of this class-leading folding phone for no additional cost. The two phones aren't quite one-for-one specs wise, but seeing a folding phone sold for the same price as its flagship counterpart is extremely exciting – let alone the impressive total discount of £550. And that's not to suggest the Z Fold 6 is any slouch: we're talking the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, advanced triple-camera system, and Galaxy AI out of the box.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus: was £999 now £749 at Samsung
Samsung are offering a hearty discount on the flagship Galaxy S24 Plus this Black Friday, matching an equivalent offer from John Lewis. With a classy design, powerful triple-camera system, and roaring internals to power Galaxy AI, the S24 Plus is a solid choice by any measure. Buying direct from Samsung means you can benefit from the company's famously generous trade-in schemes, and save 20% on select Galaxy Buds earbuds at the checkout.

Samsung Galaxy A35: was £389 now £289 at Amazon
It's a great time to nab our favourite cheap Samsung phone at Amazon – this deal has the Galaxy A35 with the expanded 256GB storage option for less than the typical base-model price. That means more space for less, meaning you'll have more room for photos and videos taken with the phone's useful triple-camera array. This phone already offers great value for money at its normal price point, which makes this offer even more enticing.

Google Pixel 8a: was £499 now £349 + £10/mo at Giffgaff
The best budget Google Pixel phone is on offer for a steal of a price from mobile network provider Giffgaff. With this offer, you'll save £150 on the up-front cost of the phone, and get a healthy 60GB of 5G data, unlimited calls, and unlimited texts for £10/mo. The two offers can't be taken seperately, and the data plan lasts 18 months, so you'll need to be sure of your decision. That said, this is a great deal for those looking to experience Google's phone and AI platforms on a budget.

Google Pixel 7: was £599 now £299 at Laptops Direct
You can save a ludicrous £300 on the former-flagship Google Pixel 7 at Laptops Direct, which technically brings this excellent Android phone £0.50 under half-price. The Pixel 7 impressed us when it launched back in 2022, and its specs are still more than modern enough to handle today's day-to-day, gaming, and AI challenges. Bluntly, this is a spectacular phone for a ridiculously cheap price.

OnePlus 12R: was £649 now £449 at OnePlus
The OnePlus 12R is a solid contender in the mid-range phone market and our pick for the best value OnePlus model. OnePlus are offering this plucky sibling to the flagship OnePlus 12 for a tasty £200 discount, and that's before you add on any savings from the company's trade-in scheme. £449 is already a great price for a phone this capable, but trading in an old device could push things into proper budget territory.

Nothing Phone 2: was £629 now £519 at John Lewis
Here's a wildcard: a funky-looking mid-range flagship that bucks trends in design and pricing, now even easier on your pockets. The Nothing Phone 2 is a solid offering from the maverick tech company headed by a co-founder of OnePlus. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 keeps things snappy, while a dual 50MP camera system keeps you snap-happy. The real triumph of the Nothing Phone 2 is its unique design: a transparent rear panel adorned with reactive LEDs. One for those who love something a bit different.
