Black Friday phone deals 2024: live sales on Apple, Samsung, and Google models

John Lewis has knocked £20 off the price of all iPhone 16 models, in any colour and storage configuration. Sure, that's not a massive saving, but you're better off saving £20 here than paying full price for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, or iPhone 16 Pro Max somewhere else.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the most powerful phone Samsung has ever made, and it's a strong contender for the best specs sheet on the market. Its quad-camera setup, with up to 100x digital zoom, is famous for quality and reliability, while its 6.8-inch 1440p display makes photos, videos, and games look exceptional. Internally, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy is as fast a chipset as you'll find on an Android phone. A saving of £250 is no joke for a phone that's won places in several TechRadar buying guides. Oh, and it comes with an S Pen stylus, too.

This astounding deal from Laptops Direct brings the cutting-edge Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 down to the same retail 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: you'll get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, an advanced triple-camera system, and Galaxy AI out of the box.

With £200 off its original price, this deal makes the excellent Samsung Galaxy S24 more appealing than ever. As you'll see in our Samsung Galaxy S24 review this phone has nearly enough features onboard to be called an Ultra device. The FHD+ display makes photos and videos look vibrant and rich in colour, while the triple-camera system with 3x optical zoom gives you near-limitless photography capabilities. Top-of-the-line internals and seven years of promised updates mean that the Galaxy S24 is a phone that will last, too.

Argos has slashed the device-only price of the excellent iPhone 15 Pro from £999 to a record-low £849 ahead of Black Friday. If you're not yet convinced by the iPhone 16 and still fancy taking Apple Intelligence for a spin, this is a great-value handset that'll remain supported with updates until at least 2028. In fact, I'd argue that this is the biggest Black Friday phone bargain of 2024.

If you'd prefer more storage, Argos has also discounted the 256GB variant of the iPhone 15 Pro to a record-low £949 for Black Friday. That's even better than the current deal prices offered by both Amazon and Laptops Direct, though we don't expect stock to last very long on this one. If you're after a 512GB model, Laptop Direct's £1,199 deal price is still the best around.

For Apple's larger 15 Pro model, Amazon has the deal-based bragging rights. The mega-retailer is currently offering the 256GB model for just £1,049, and the bigger 512GB model for an impressively low £1,149. Neither of these iPhone 15 Pro Max prices are likely to be beaten on Black Friday itself.

Giffgaff's pre-Black Friday iPhone 16 promotion is rare in that it saves you money on the device itself, as well as on data (you'll get extra data on various plans for no extra cost). To qualify for the £50 saving, you'll just need to add a monthly plan costing £10 or more. You can also split the device cost over 36 months, so in theory, the best possible iPhone 16 deal here is £30.95/mo for 60GB of data with a £25 upfront payment.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: £44.99/mo 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.

Apple iPhone 15: £34.99/mo at iD Mobile
Another great iD Mobile promotion here: you can pick up the iPhone 15 for just £34.99/mo (was £36.99/mo) and £19 upfront on a 24-month plan. For that price, you'll get 10GB of data and unlimited everything else. If you want more data, similar deals are available on 100GB and Unlimited plans, albeit with higher upfront fees. iD Mobile is currently offering discounted monthly plans for the iPhone 15 Plus, too.

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. If stock runs low at Amazon, Argos is currently offering the same deal on a range of colors.

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 2026 (likely 2027). The iPhone 13 is also currently still available at Amazon, albeit in more limited color and storage configurations.

If you're looking for the cheapest possible iPhone on the market right now (one that's worth buying, that is), Laptop Direct's £299 deal on the iPhone SE (2022) is hard to beat. This phone's design may be outdated, but the internal specs remain strong, and it'll continue to be supported with software updates until at least 2027 (likely 2028).

The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra was already a lot of phone for its price tag, offering a high-spec triple camera setup, 144hz display, and massive 1TB of storage for less than the price of an iPhone 16 Plus. At this discounted price from parent company Lenovo (replicated, by the way, on Mobiles.co.uk), the Edge 50 Ultra is an absolute steal, and with a specs sheet like this should be at the forefront of any prospective Android buyer's mind. It even comes with a charger in the box!

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.

The Google Pixel 8 remains a capable flagship with an excellent spec sheet, and at just over a year old it can still keep pace with today's competitors. This deal sees the Pixel 8 come down to the price of an average mid-tier handset, an absolute steal for a phone of this caliber. This compact powerhouse sports a 6.2-inch display, 50MP main camera, and Google's own Tensor G3 chipset. The Pixel 8 also runs the latest version of Android 15, bringing essential features and AI tools to the phone.

The term "half-price" is rare in the tech world, and even more so for premium flagships, which is why this Google Pixel 8 Pro deal is so exciting. Amazon is offering last year's premium Pixel phone for a clean £500 off, bringing the total price to a smooth £499. This is an absolute steal for a phone with this much hardware and software power: you're looking at a 6.7-inch display, triple camera system with 5x optical zoom, and the powerful Google Tensor G3 chipset. Fans of Google, Android, or phones in general shouldn't sleep on this excellent deal.

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.

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.

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.
