I test iPhone, Galaxy, and Pixel phones for a living, and these are the best Cyber Monday phone deals you can still buy

This deal brings a massive discount to the Google Pixel 8, a powerful phone that still keeps up with today's flagship handsets. The Pixel 8 is a compact powerhouse driven by the latest version of Android 15, with a 6.2-inch display, 50MP main camera, and Google's own Tensor G3 chipset. Our Pixel 8 review found the phone to be full of surprises, from its strong customization to its all-day battery life.

If you're a fan of Google's classic camera bar design, the Pixel 8 Pro is on sale at Amazon for an extra-low price, only $25 more than the lowest price we've seen since this phone launched in 2023. This Pixel takes amazing photos, and it will get Android updates until 2030, including new Google Gemini AI features. Plus, that Bay Blue color is sweet.

Everything about the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is big; the screen, the specs, the performance, and especially the cameras. All of these make it our pick for one of the best phones you can buy. Of course, you pay for that performance, but this Cyber Monday deal knocks $400 off the phone's price (in either storage configuration). You can also get up to $800 off the Galaxy S24 Ultra if you trade in its predecessor.

The excellent Samsung Galaxy S24 is getting a $100 discount over on Samsung's site. As you'll see in our Samsung Galaxy S24 review, this phone has nearly enough features onboard to be called an Ultra device. The FHD+ display makes photos and videos look vibrant and rich in colour, while the triple-camera system with 3x optical zoom gives you near-limitless photography capabilities. Top-of-the-line internals and seven years of promised updates mean that the Galaxy S24 is a phone that will last, too.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is a great choice if you've got a serious interest in upgrading to a shiny foldable. Today's deal at Samsung offers a trade-in credit of up to $1,200, plus $300 off online-exclusive colors. That means, if you've got a Galaxy S24 Ultra to swap, you can now pick up the Galaxy Z Fold 6 for just $399. No device to hand over? You can still take $800 off the price of a foldable that we thought "edged closer to perfection" in our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 review (see below for the details).

Samsung has boosted its regular $300 saving on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 by an additional $500, meaning you can save a massive $800 without having to trade in your existing device. The new saving applies to all storage variants (256GB, 512GB, 1TB) and the black or white color variants, which are exclusive to Samsung's online store. You can, however, still save $500 on the phone's regular color variants, if you'd prefer something more vibrant.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 might just be the most powerful foldable smartphone yet. This deal offers an enhanced trade-in rebate of up to $750 (if you trade a Galaxy S24 Ultra) on both the 256GB and 512GB models, and the $469.99 deal price drops by a further $100 to $369.99 on certain colors. This flip phone flaunts an improved battery, a durable IP48 dust and water-resistant build, and AI features that improve photo quality, all packed into its portable, lightweight design.

Apple iPhone 16: free with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
If you're looking for the standard iPhone 16, the good news is that you don't even need to trade in another device to get one for free right now at Verizon. Eligible with a new line on an Ultimate Unlimited plan, you'll be saving a massive $829 ($23.05/mo for 36 months) on device costs here. In addition, Verizon is also throwing in an iPad 10.9 (yes, a whole iPad) and an Apple Watch Series 10. Note, however, that you will need to pay an additional accessory cellular line ($10/mo) if you want to claim the free iPad, as well as a one-time activation fee of $35. A similar deal is also available on the iPhone 16 Plus right now.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: free with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
If you're interested in the Pro models, you'll also find great deals on the iPhone 16 Pro at Verizon right now. There are two options for getting a discount on the phone here; a new line on an Ultimate Unlimited plan will automatically drop the price from $27.77/mo to $0/mo, but you can also trade in for a maximum rebate of up to $1,000 (and not be beholden to the Ultimate plan). Both deals effectively cover the entire cost of the device, and you can also bundle in that iPad and Apple Watch Series 10 (again, for free), as with the deal on the standard iPhone 16 above. A similar offer is also available on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Apple iPhone 16: up to $830 off with trade-in, plus $100 Best Buy e-Gift card
Best Buy's Cyber Monday promotion gives you a boosted trade-in rebate of up to $830 when you swap your old phone for the iPhone 16 on a new AT&T or Verizon line. The good news? You don't need to trade in a flashy flagship to get the full $830 discount. You'll also get a $100 Best Buy e-gift card for your troubles, which Best Buy will process once you've received and activated your iPhone 16. An equivalent deal is also available on the iPhone 16 Plus.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: up to $1,000 off with trade-in, plus $100 Best Buy e-Gift card
As with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, Best Buy is offering boosted trade-in rebates on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, too. In fact, this offer is even better, as you'll get up to $1,000 in credit versus $830 for the cheaper models. Of course, you'll also get the same $1,000 Best Buy e-Gift card with your purchase.

Straight Talk's iPhone 15 Pro discount isn't as high as Walmart's, but the carrier's monthly data plans are much, much cheaper. The cheapest possible plan to qualify for this $100 device saving is $35/mo, where you'll have to spend upwards of $50/mo (not including the device cost) on the aforementioned AT&T or Verizon plans at Walmart.

Straight Talk is also offering a healthy discount on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Again, this device-only price isn't as good as Walmart is offering, but Straight Talk's plans are much more affordable than the AT&T or Verizon plans that Walmart's deal forces you to sign up for.

As with the standard iPhone 15, Best Buy is offering a chunk off the price of the iPhone 14 if you sign up for a new Verizon or AT&T plan. The cheapest right now is $65/mo (or $75/mo until you enroll in paperless billing) plus a $35 activation fee. A similar deal is available on the iPhone 14 Plus, which is also the subject of an even better device-only discount (see below).

Best Buy is offering a sim-free iPhone 14 Plus for just $679.99, or an even better $579.99 if you buy the phone alongside selected Verizon or AT&T plans. We're less critical of the iPhone 14 Plus versus the standard iPhone 14 given its mightily impressive battery credentials and gorgeous, Pro Max-sized screen, and there's also no iPhone 13 Plus to directly compare it to. You'll get the Dynamic Island and a 48MP camera from the more expensive iPhone 15 Plus, but if you can forgo those features, then the iPhone 14 Plus for $679.99 (or even $579.99!) is a strong Black Friday-turned-Cyber Monday deal.

If you're simply looking for a capable iPhone to tide you over for the next few years, Straight Talk's excellent iPhone SE (2022) deal could be for you. With the iPhone 13 mini now dead and buried, the iPhone SE (2022) is essentially the best small phone that's still available from Apple. Its design may be outdated, but the internal specs remain strong. You can pick up the phone for just $149 right now from Straight Talk directly or via Walmart's Straight Talk partnership; in either case, you'll need to select a monthly plan (the cheapest right now is $35/mo).

The ThinkPhone by Motorola ticks a lot of boxes and is great for those looking for a smartphone with Microsoft service integrations (Teams, OneDrive, Microsoft 365), IP68-rating and flawless aftersales services.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the most powerful phone Samsung has ever made, and it's a strong contender for the best specs sheet on the market. Its quad-camera setup, with up to 100x digital zoom, is famous for quality and reliability, while its 6.8-inch 1440p display makes photos, videos, and games look exceptional. Internally, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy is as fast a chipset as you'll find on an Android phone. A saving of £250 is no joke for a phone that's won places in several TechRadar buying guides. Oh, and it comes with an S Pen stylus, too.

This astounding deal from Laptops Direct brings the cutting-edge Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 down to the same retail price as the Galaxy S24 Ultra – meaning you're effectively getting the folding aspect of this class-leading folding phone for no additional cost. The two phones aren't quite one-for-one specs-wise, but seeing a folding phone sold for the same price as its flagship counterpart is extremely exciting – let alone the impressive total discount of £550. And that's not to suggest the Z Fold 6 is any slouch: you'll get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, an advanced triple-camera system, and Galaxy AI out of the box.

With £220 off its original price, this deal makes the excellent Samsung Galaxy S24 more appealing than ever. As you'll see in our Samsung Galaxy S24 review this phone has nearly enough features onboard to be called an Ultra device. The FHD+ display makes photos and videos look vibrant and rich in colour, while the triple-camera system with 3x optical zoom gives you near-limitless photography capabilities. Top-of-the-line internals and seven years of promised updates mean that the Galaxy S24 is a phone that will last, too.

Amazon has knocked £30 off the price of the standard iPhone 16 in Ultramarine. Sure, that's not a massive saving, but you're better off saving £30 here than paying full price for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, or iPhone 16 Pro Max somewhere else. Incidentally, John Lewis is currently offering the same deal.

Amazon has also knocked £20 off the price of the larger iPhone 16 Plus, in almost all color and storage configurations. That's not as strong as Amazon's £30 saving on the standard model, but it does mean you can still save money on the larger Plus version of the phone.

As with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, you can save on an iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max at Amazon right now, though only in certain configurations. For a deal on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, head to John Lewis.

Apple iPhone 16: save £300 over 36 months
O2 is currently offering a £300 discount on its 150GB, 36-month iPhone 16 plan. You'll save £8/mo on the overall data cost, and a further £12 on the overall device cost (the latter figure isn't much, but it's better than nothing!). Similar savings are available for the iPhone 16 Pro.

Apple's £639 deal price on the iPhone 15 has only been bettered on one occasion (it hit £629 in July), and it's the current best device-only price on the web. This is a strong deal on an already great-value phone, and there's good news if you'd prefer the larger iPhone 15 Plus, too: Amazon has knocked the price of that phone down to £749 (was £799).

Argos has discounted the 256GB variant of the iPhone 15 Pro to a record-low £949. If you're after a 512GB model, Laptop Direct's £1,099 deal price is still the best around, though we don't expect stock to last much longer on any of these deals.

For Apple's larger 15 Pro model, Amazon has the deal-based bragging rights. The mega-retailer is currently offering the 256GB model for just £1,049, and the
