"It's the best time of year to buy a new smartphone. I review dozens and dozens of handsets every year, and I exclusively recommend you buy them unlocked-don't be beholden to a carrier! But the sticker shock of a new phone can be scary; these Black Friday phone deals can help ease the burden on your wallet. Whether you want a folding flip phone, a super-slim Galaxy Z Fold, or the latest magnetic Google Pixel 10, you'll find your next smartphone upgrade in this list."
"One of my favorite parts of Google's new Pixel 10 series (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is that they're the first flagship Android phones with Qi2 magnetic wireless charging. That means, just like MagSafe iPhones, you can attach magnetic accessories and enjoy faster wireless charging. It's great! The phones also have excellent cameras, good performance, and tons of helpful and smart software features. Better yet, these are the first Android phones to support AirDrop with iPhones, Macs, and iPads."
Black Friday brings substantial discounts on unlocked smartphones, making new handsets more affordable. Buying unlocked phones avoids carrier restrictions and increases flexibility for buyers. Samsung's Galaxy S25 family offers choices from the compact S25 to the S25+ with a larger screen and battery, and the S25 Ultra with dual telephoto cameras, an integrated S Pen, and a beefy battery. Google's Pixel 10 series adds Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, magnetic accessories, improved wireless charging speed, excellent cameras, and AirDrop support with Apple devices. The Google Pixel 9a balances features and price, making it the best choice for many buyers.
