The Labor Day sales may be known as a bastion of furniture and appliance deals for most, but there's also plenty of excellent tech deals to be found, and, especially as we've found this year, including deals on top smartphones.

We've spotted a few prime Labor Day smartphone deals that we think might just be worthy of your attention - although fair warning, these offers may be expiring tonight, so get your wallets at the ready if you're ready to commit and don't want to let these deals slip through your fingers.

Probably our favorite Labor Day smartphone deal is over at the OnePlus store, which is offering its stunning flagship OnePlus 8 for just $699 (was $799) (opens in new tab) right now. You'll have to use the code OPLD100OFF at checkout to redeem your saving, but once you do you'll also be able to score an additional $100 off some accessories too.

Prefer iPhones? Apple and Verizon both have some amazing offers on right now, including a $450 off trade-in program (opens in new tab) at Apple, and free iPhone SE (opens in new tab) deal at Verizon, which is applicable with every new Unlimited data plan. We've even found a great smartphone deal on the Samsung Galaxy S20 at Amazon for just $849.99 (opens in new tab) - a whole $150 less than the usual unlocked price.
