I’m a phones expert – these are the best Black Friday phone deals at Amazon, Samsung, Apple, and more

UK shoppers, I haven’t forgotten about you. My current favorite pre-Black Friday phone deal on your side of the pond concerns the still excellent iPhone 15 Pro, which is now available for a record-low price of £849 at Argos.

As I noted in my recent piece highlighting the enduring value of the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple’s 2023 flagship remains a supremely powerful and feature-packed smartphone that looks nigh-on identical to the iPhone 16 Pro. It’s compatible with Apple Intelligence, and despite its discontinuation will remain supported with updates until at least 2028.

In my opinion, the iPhone 15 Pro for £849 is better value than the iPhone 16 Pro at £999, so if you’re in the market for a flagship smartphone upgrade, this Argos deal is absolutely worth considering.

Another stellar deal here for the US crowd: Amazon has slashed the price of the Google Pixel 9 Pro – aka TechRadar’s Phone of the Year – by $200 ahead of Black Friday.

This record-low price betters Google’s own Black Friday deal on the Pixel 9 Pro, though it’s worth noting that Amazon’s offer only applies to the Porcelain and Obsidian models at the time of writing.

Let’s kick things off with my favorite Black Friday phone deal in the US so far: Samsung’s outrageous $800 discount on the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Yes, you read that right – you can currently save a whopping $800 on Samsung’s flagship foldable, without needing to trade in… anything. No existing device. No arms or legs. There are literally no strings attached to this offer.

In our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 review, we described the phone as “an excellent foldable [that] edges closer to perfection” thanks to its premium build quality, eye-popping dual display, and feature-packed Galaxy AI software. Our main issue with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is (or rather was) its huge $1,899.99 price tag, but now, at $1,099, the phone is a much more realistic and appealing proposition.
