Seemingly not content with knocking $700 off the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung has dropped another bonkers Black Friday deal. This time, it's for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with 512GB of storage, which you can now get for just $859.99 (was $1,419.99) at Samsung.

It seems that Samsung has decided to go to battle with itself over the title of ‘best Black Friday phone deal’, as this Galaxy S25 Ultra deal and the mentioned Galaxy Z Fold 7 discount are some of the most impressive Black Friday deals we’ve seen so far. For what it’s worth, I’m backing the Galaxy S25 Ultra – at $859.99 it’s hardly more expensive than the basic Galaxy S25 or Apple's iPhone 17, and is capable of so much more.

Today's best Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Black Friday deal

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the best Samsung phone, and also pops up in our lists of the best phones, best Android phones, best camera phones, best gaming phones, best AI phones… in short, it’s a really great smartphone.

That’s because it’s got one of the strongest spec sheets on the market. Let's start with its huge 6.9-inch display, with a resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels and a pixel density of 498 pixels per inch, making it one of the sharpest smartphone displays, period.

Under that massive display, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy adds bespoke overclocking to the best Android chipset, and 12GB of RAM gives you plenty of headroom for multitasking and an abundance of AI tools courtesy of Google Gemini and Galaxy AI. A large 5,000mAh battery and 256GB of storage round things out.

And we can’t not talk about the cameras – the Galaxy S25 Ultra sports Samsung’s iconic quad-camera array, with a 200MP main camera, 50MP ultra-wide camera, 10MP 3x telephoto camera, and 50MP 5x telephoto camera. That gives you more versatility (not to mention sheer resolution) than almost any other phone. Be sure to check out our full Galaxy S25 Ultra review for photo samples.

Frankly, $859.99 would be a steal for the standard Galaxy S25 Ultra with 256GB of storage – Samsung doubling this to 512GB of storage is just the cherry on top. I’ll be surprised if Samsung improves this offer, so it could be wise to buy now if you’ve been eyeing this uniquely powerful Android phone.

T-Mobile's biggest and best deal on the iPhone 17 Pro gets you the device - plus a free iPad and Apple Watch - on a new Experience Beyond plan this Black Friday week. This kind of deal is pretty rare for T-Mobile, so it's a definitely a Black Friday highlight if you're eying up an upgrade. Overall, a strong deal, although the usual caveats apply here: the Experience Beyond plan is the pricier option at T-Mobile, and you also need to take out cellular lines on those accessories to claim them.

Apple iPhone 17 series: up to $1,1100 off with a trade, plus iPad and Apple Watch for $0.99 at AT&T
This is my favorite deal at AT&T this week, although I don't think it's a Black Friday special technically. You can trade-in a wide range of devices today to get a massive trade-in rebate of up to $1,100 off one of the latest iPhone 17 devices. That's enough to get the iPhone 17 Pro for free right now and you can also throw in a free iPad and Apple Watch for just $0.99 per month each. As always, you will need cellular lines and an unlimited data plan to be eligible for all the freebies though!
