While Blackfighter officially starts off in a week's time, you don't have to wait until the day after Thanksgiving to feast on smartphone savings. I've scoured the digital catalogs of the most popular retailers to gather the best mobile deals in this video. Links to all deals mentioned in the video are in the description below. Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 was $1799, now at $1199 in Amazon. It's no longer Samsung's flagship, but the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is still a solid phone. It's powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset and features a 7.6-inch internal display and a 6.2-inch external display. This particular configuration also supports 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. Google Pixel 6A was $499, now $399. The Google Pixel lineup has long stood among the best values in the Android smartphone space. Google stumbled a bit with the 5th gen Pixel 5, but we're pleased to report that the 6th generation Pixel phones did not disappoint. Perhaps our favorite among these is the Google Pixel 6A, which delivers a lot of bang for your buck. powered by Google's own censorship, the Pixel 6A offers smooth performance and a slick Android experience. It's also in nice size with its 6.1-inch touchscreen, which while only 60Hz still looks nice, and is a vibrant OLED panel. The camera suite is accent as well, although you'll have to upgrade to one of the flagship models if you want the latest and greatest. Still, for the money, the Google Pixel 6A is one of the best early Black Friday phone deals up for grabs right now. The other day's shopper should also take note that it's sturdy build and affordable price point also make the Pixel 6A one of the best smartphone for kids. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 was $949, now $749. Samsung's smaller foldable from 2021 remains a great phone for any user fed up of oversized phones. Aside from its capable foldable form, it offers a powerful Snapdragon 888 chipset, dual rear cameras, and an outer display for checking notifications without opening your phone. Samsung Galaxy A23 5G, $550, current price, $250, original price, $300. Cheap phones are getting good, as Samsung's latest sub $300 phone can attest to. The Galaxy A23 5G is currently selling for just $250, with, get this, a large 6.6-inch APHD plus display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 5000mAh battery, up to 1TB of storage via microSD, and a tried and tested Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor at the helm. Those are promising specs for what easily counts as a budget phone. Sure, you'll lose out on the extensive software support that more expensive phone benefit from, and the camera might not shoot the best photos in the dark, but if you just want a headset that gets the job done for a fraction of the cost, then look no further than this. OnePlus Nord N25G, $70, current price, $230, original price, $300. Over the last two years, OnePlus has carved up a new segment of smartphones that focuses on bringing value to cheaper price points, and has gotten really good at it. The Nord N25G released earlier this year is among the few nominees for the best G5G phone in 2022. The reasoning is actually pretty simple. For one, it has a sharp looking 6.43-inch AMOLED display, a rareity in this sub $300 market. Then there's the 128GB of base storage, 4500mAh battery, and 33W fast charging that laps that of Motorola and Samsung's low mid-range offerings. You can snack the OnePlus Nord N25G for as low as $230 right now. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, saved $300. Current price, $1,100, original price, $1,400. In their running for the best smartphone of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, with this gorgeous 6.8-inch OLED display up to 8K video recording, S-Pen support, and a generous 5,000mAh battery has proven to be the Korean giant's most complete handset yet. This early Black Friday, Amazon and Best Buy had the 512GB variant discounted by $300. Putting the Galaxy right beside the latest iPhone 14 Pro with 4x the storage capacity. Google Pixel 7, save $100. Current price, $500, original price, $600. Google's Pixel 7 is not as splashy as its pre-o sibling, but in many ways, the smaller Pixel is actually superior to the more premium counterpart. The price like the flat edge display, the similarly sized battery capacity, and the fact that you're getting all the software perks of the Pro variant for a cheaper price, make this standard Pixel 7 one of the best great value pickups this Black Friday. The Pixel 7 right now is on sale for $500. If $100 marked on from the retail cost of the 128GB model, add that price I would argue that it's the best phone you can buy in the mid-range sector. One plus 10 Pro, save $250. Current price, $550, original price, $850. One plus 10 Pro is one of the better smartphones that fell under everyone's radar this year, mainly because it was announced back in January at CES. As one plus's flagship smartphone, the handset carries the much expected duet of ultra-smooth display performance and even faster charging. Now, seriously, the phone comes with a 65W charging brick that can power it from 0% to 100% within half an hour. All things considered you technically save $350 with this deal because the one plus 10 Pro retailed at $900 when it was first released earlier this year. Apple iPhone 13 Pro, save $260, current price, $740, original price, $1000. I reviewed the iPhone 14 Pro in September and while Apple's latest handset dazzled with improved camera features and its most ambitious display feature yet, Dynamic Island, it didn't feel like a revelation compared to the iPhone 13 Pro from the year before. That said, if you were hoping to buy an iPhone for less going into Black Friday, this $260 discount on the excellent iPhone 13 Pro is certainly worth the look. For transparency, the phone is certified refurbished by Walmart, meaning it has been fully inspected and will look as good as new. Barring that, you can expect the same iOS 16 experience that one would get on the more expensive iPhone 14 Pro and a more traditional notch display. Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus, save $250, current price, $750, original price, $1000. First in Samsung made the push for ultra smartphones, the Plus model has been left in the dust, but not entirely forgotten. That's because it mostly retains the big phone features that come with the Ultra, but in a more affordable, less polarizing form factor. I'd go as far as to say that Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus is the sleeper pick for the best all-around smartphone this year. It has a generous 6.8-inch flat display that refreshes at 120Hz, a 50 megapixel main shooter that can capture videos as sharp as 8K and is powered by Qualcomm's tried and tested Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. Right now, major retailers have the phone discounted by $250 and no strings attached. Google Pixel 7 Pro, save $150, current price, $750, or original price, $900. It's year 2 of Google's redesigned Pixel line and things have never looked better. In our testing, the flagship Pixel 7 Pro exceeded our expectations within new and improved Tensor G2 processor, a camera configuration that best Samsung's and generous suite of practical user first software features. The Pixel 7 Pro was always undercutting industry flagship at $900, but for a limited time, you can snack the latest Google phone for just $750. That's a very good deal on what is still the newest major smartphone released this year. Moto G's Stylist was $299, not with $149 in Amazon. If you want a Stylist experience for less, then look no further than the Moto G's Stylist. With a built-in pen for notes and art, you also get 128GB storage and 4 cameras. It's not the most powerful phone out there, but it's meant for Stylist lovers on a budget. Motorola won 5G Ace was $399, now $209 in Amazon. If you're looking for a cheap 5G capable phone, then you might want to check out this deal on Motorola 1 5G Ace. It's unlocked for any carrier and supports a big battery to last you for quite a while. The big 6.7-inch display is great for media consumption too. Moto G Power was $249, now at $129 in Amazon. On the more affordable side, the Moto G Power has also seen a slight discount ahead of Black Friday. This is the phone that lasted for an incredibly long time in our battery life testing. Just be aware that Moto announced a new version of the G Power for 2022 with the same big battery. However, the 2021 offers better overall performance and is the better value. Galaxy S22 Ultra was $1199, now $899 at Amazon. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is Samsung's top phone and one of the most fully featured Android devices around. With its large display, in-built-style, quad rear cameras and powerful processor, you'll want for nothing. Let us know in the comments down below which phone deal you're going to get.
