Early Black Friday phone deals are live: get a free iPhone 17, iPad, Galaxy S25, and more at leading carriers

Looking for a new phone or plan this Black Friday? I’ve got good news. Several of the major carriers and retailers have already launched their end-of-year Black Friday events. In short, there’s no need to wait around if you’re ready to upgrade.

As someone who covers the best cell phone deals all year round for TechRadar, I’ve scanned through all of this week’s sales to find the top promotions. You can check my picks just below, which include all the latest iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel devices.

As an overview, some of the big names to have launched early sales include T-Mobile, Verizon, Samsung, and Mint Mobile. All four of these carriers have the best deals I’ve seen all year, with discounts ranging up to and over $1,000.

Highlights include a free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon, a free iPhone 17 Pro with a switch at T-Mobile, and an incredible $800 discount on the Pixel 10 Pro at Mint Mobile. Another massive deal is the $450 upfront discount on the Galaxy S25 Ultra at the official Samsung Store – a particularly good choice for an unlocked device.
