The Labor Day sales can sometimes feel like an awkward time to buy a phone. Not only are the sales traditionally more associated with grills and appliances, but Apple also usually debuts its next generation of devices in early to mid-September. Surprisingly, however, several retailers have some of the best deals I've seen in recent months today.
For example, if you've been thinking about picking up one of the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 devices, then you can currently get an impressive upfront discount of up to $300 at the official Samsung Store on these excellent foldable devices. That's actually $100 better than the initial deal offered when these devices were available for preorder a few months ago.
Another really fantastic discount is on the new Google Pixel 11 series. Right now, you can get $450 off across the range when you pick up a device with a new plan at Mint Mobile. Unlike similar discounts at major carriers, you don't need to trade in to be eligible for this discount. You also get a full year of unlimited data for just $180 (half the usual price).
Just below, you can see a few more Labor Day phone deals that I've picked out as especially good value. Take note that I've focused on Android devices here, as new iPhones are just around the corner. In fact, we could see preorders for the iPhone 18 (or a similar device) later this week, so stay tuned.
