UPDATE: Nov. 24, 2023, 7:00 p.m. EST This post has been updated with the latest pricing and availability on unlocked phone deals.
There's always one person at every holiday gathering who's so desperately in need of a new phone. You know the type: Their screen is a spiderweb of cracks, they're always glued to an outlet because their clunker won't hold a charge, or they're asking someone else to text them the group shots because theirs turned out blurry. Don't be that person.
Fortunately, anyone due for an upgrade right now will have no trouble finding a deep Black Friday discount on an unlocked phone at major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. (Going the unlocked route eliminates the hassle of needing to coordinate a trade-in or a new data plan.) Read on for a list of the best deals we've spotted so far, including markdowns on iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, and Motorola models we've reviewed and loved:
