The Best Cyber Monday Phone Deals

Every year, I test more than 30 smartphones to see which ones are worth your hard-earned dollars. Guess what? The following Cyber Monday phone deals include many of my top-rated recommendations—now at a more reasonable price. If your current device is on its last legs, this is the best time of the year to upgrade. Whether you need a new Samsung phone, Google Pixel, or even an iPhone, this list has all the top discounts, even deals on cases and accessories. All these smartphone deals are for unlocked devices (except for the iPhones).

• Our fave smartphone: Google Pixel 8A for $399 ($100 off)
• The Pixel upgrade: Google Pixel 9 Pro for $799 ($200 off)
• The cheapest folding flip phone: Motorola Razr (2023) for $350 ($50 off)
• The only official deal from Apple: Get up to a $200 gift card
• A fancy iPhone dock: Belkin Auto-Tracking Stand Pro with DockKit for $90 ($60 off)

Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL

$799 $649 at Amazon (Pixel 9)

$999 $811 at Amazon (Pro)

$1,099 at Amazon (Pro XL)

The entire Pixel 9 series is seeing its first major discount, and these Pixel deals are pretty fantastic, especially on the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL (9/10, WIRED Recommends). The difference between these two is purely size and battery—the Pixel 9 Pro XL's screen is 6.8 inches versus the Pixel 9 Pro's 6.3 inches, and its battery can comfortably last a little more than a full day. Everything else is the same. However, there's a bigger gap between the Pixel 9 and the Pro phones. The cheapest in the lineup, the Pixel 9 lacks the 5X zoom camera and the vapor chamber cooling system, meaning it will get warmer faster. I say go Pro, but if your budget doesn't stretch as high, consider the Pixel 8A (see below). Read our Best Pixel 9 Cases guide to keep it safe!

OnePlus 12

$800 at OnePlus

$900 at Best Buy (512 GB)

OnePlus, like Samsung, is also rumored to be releasing a successor to its OnePlus 12 flagship in January 2025. But that phone will probably cost closer to $1,000, and it will be many more months before it's at a price like the OnePlus 12. This 2024 Android flagship is a heck of a phone (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It's super smooth, supports wireless charging, and I was even able to hit two days of battery life on a single charge. Oh, and the OnePlus 12 can even recharge to full in just 30 minutes. How crazy is that?

Google Pixel 8A

$499 $399 at Amazon

$499 at Target

$499 at Best Buy

This is my top smartphone pick for most people. It's well-rounded—you can call it the Renaissance Phone because it does a bit of everything well. The Pixel 8A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a sharp, colorful, and bright AMOLED display, water resistance, wireless charging, seven years of software support, and excellent performance. It was already fantastic value at its MSRP, but this deal makes it a steal. I didn't even touch on the many great software features that will make you keep coming back to Pixel phones. For more, read my Google Pixel buying guide.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

$650 $548 at Amazon

$650 at Samsung

$650 $500 at Best Buy

The brand-new Galaxy S24 FE—which stands for “Fan Edition”—is a bit of a tough sell at its MSRP because it's not far in price from the flagship Galaxy S24, but it's an absolute beast of a phone at this sale price. Seriously, a triple-camera system with a 3X optical zoom for under $500? That's rare. It's kind of like the Galaxy S24+ but with lesser specs all around, though you won't feel the difference all that much. The screen is still a 120-Hz AMOLED panel, and the Exynos processor is quite chipper.

OnePlus 12R

$500 at OnePlus

$500 $400 at Best Buy

If you're a heavy gamer, then I think the OnePlus 12R is a better fit for anyone on a budget. It packs last year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which can handle most demanding games without too much issue. The AMOLED screen is large at 6.78 inches (and sports a 120-Hz screen refresh rate), and the 5,500-mAh battery lasted me roughly two days. The camera is decent, but the charging speed is more impressive—like the OnePlus 12, it goes from zero to 100 in around 30 minutes. Just know that its water resistance is lackluster (IP64), there's no wireless charging, and software support isn't as long as the Pixel 8A.

Motorola Moto G Power 5G (2024)

$200 at Amazon

$300 $180 at Best Buy

$300 $180 at Motorola

The Moto G Power 5G (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is hands-down the best value in a smartphone right now. Not only is this the best Moto G smartphone Motorola has ever made, but at this discounted price, you're getting a fantastic device all around. Performance with the MediaTek Dimensity 7020 is good enough that I never got frustrated or annoyed, the 120-Hz 6.7-inch LCD screen gets bright enough in the sun, and there's even wireless charging (NFC too, finally). The biggest downside is once Motorola updates it to Android 15, that's all the software updates you'll get, except for two more years of security updates. But hey, it's $200.

Motorola Edge (2024)

$445 $329 at Amazon

$550 $300 at Best Buy

$550 $300 at Motorola

The Motorola Edge is a much more reasonable buy at $350, though I'd first steer you to the Pixel or OnePlus above. It will only get two Android OS upgrades and three years of security updates, but at least you get all the perks you'd want in a phone, from wireless charging, IP68 water resistance, NFC for contactless payments, and an AMOLED 6.6-ich screen with a 144-Hz refresh rate. Performance is pretty great thanks to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip. My main gripes are that the cameras aren't great, and I'm not a fan of waterfall displays that curve the glass at the edges. But that's literally the point of this phone. Edge. Get it?

Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2024)

$400 $241 at Amazon

$400 $250 at Best Buy

$400 $250 at Motorola

The Moto G Stylus 5G has the same big fault as the Moto G Power 5G above—it will only get one Android software update to Android 15 (though 3 years of security updates). If you're cool with that, performance is a smidge better and largely lag-free, and there's a nice faux leather back that's fun. The screen gets an upgrade to OLED (120 Hz), but the one trick that makes this one unique is in the name. Yep, like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, there's a stylus built into the bottom of this phone for ultimate doodling. Did I mention there's a headphone jack? Remember those?

Samsung Galaxy A35 5G

$400 at Amazon

$400 at Samsung

$400 $325 at Best Buy

What the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G (7/10, WIRED Recommends) has over the Motorola phones above is longer software support. Samsung promises four Android OS upgrades and five years of security updates, not to mention there's an IP67 water resistance rating, a microSD card slot to expand storage, and a 120-Hz screen. Too bad the performance can be a little choppy.

Motorola Moto G Play 2024

$150 $108 at Amazon

$150 $110 at Best Buy

$150 $110 at Motorola

A $100 smartphone that won't make you want to rip out your hair? Yep, it exists. The Moto G Play only supports 4G LTE, which there's still plenty of, so it shouldn't give you connectivity problems. Performance, all things considered, is surprisingly solid. Apps launch slow and it might feel laborious moving from one app to another, but it's not frustrating. Just don't bother with the camera.

Motorola Razr+ (2024)

$1,000 $662 at Amazon

$1,000 at Best Buy

$1,000 at Motorola

Flip phones! Like the good ol' days! Except this one's a smartphone too. The Razr+ (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is Motorola's latest folding flip phone and, yes, it comes in hot pink. The exterior screen is nice and large, enough to even use some apps in a quick pinch. Open it up and the 6.9-inch OLED screen feels like a normal phone. Performance is great and the cameras are better than before, though battery life is still a bit lackluster. Still, it's too stylish and fun to use for that to be a deal-breaker. You can save even more if you go with the standard Razr, on sale for $425 ($275 off), but the performance isn't as smooth and the external screen is smaller and less useful.

Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold

$1,799 at Amazon

$1,799 at Best Buy

$1,799 at Google Store

I really wish the Pixel 9 Pro Fold (6/10, WIRED Recommends) had the same camera system as the standard Pixel 9 Pro (it's very similar, but the results aren't as crisp), but it's otherwise my favorite folding phone that's shaped like a book. The front screen is nearly identical to the Pixel 9 Pro's 6.3-inch display, meaning it feels like a normal device, and it helps that the whole thing is so thin. Open it up and you get a vast 8-inch OLED panel for streaming shows, multitasking, and gaming. I'd never buy a phone that costs nearly $2,000 but at this price? Maaaaybe.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6

$1,900 $1,570 at Amazon

$1,900 at Samsung

$1,800 $1,600 at Best Buy

I think Samsung might have made a mistake. You can currently get the company's latest, priciest folding smartphone—the Galaxy Z Fold6 (7/10, WIRED Recommends)—directly from Samsung.com for a little more than $1,000. Wha? Seriously, this is a massive drop on the book-like folding phone, which has an improved and larger front screen and slimmer design. I like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold more, but this price is far too tempting. Samsung also has been making folding phones far longer than most brands, so it's easier to repair if something goes wrong.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6

$1,100 $920 at Amazon

$1,100 at Samsung

$1,100 $950 at Best Buy

I prefer Motorola's Razr+ but Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip6 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) bests it in a few ways: longer software support, better build quality, better cameras, and faster performance. But I still think the Razr+ has more charm and has the more useful and larger external cover screen. Still, this is a great price for a relatively new flagship folding phone.

• Google Pixel 8 for $494: Snag a flagship Pixel for just over half the cost. (7/10, WIRED Recommends)
• OnePlus Open for $1,200: Rumors suggest there may not be a succesor, which could make this a novelty item in 10 years. Or a paperweight. Either way, this is still one of my favorite folding phones. (7/10, WIRED Recommends)
• Motorola Razr (2023) for $350: This is the cheapest folding phone you can buy. Pretty incredible for $350. It's the slightly lesser-spec version of the Razr+ from 2023.

I always recommend buying an unlocked smartphone. However, Apple never discounts the iPhone, and Americans overwhelmingly buy smartphones from carriers directly. So, today I'm going to break my one rule. Below are a few of the best offers the big US carriers have on the iPhone. Make sure you look at the fine print; there are hoops to jump through to get the savings.

T-Mobile: If you switch to T-Mobile, you can get four iPhone 16 models for free when you activate four lines for $25 per line. The caveat? The savings come as bill credits over 24 months, and if you cancel your account before it's over, the credits stop flowing and you'll need to pay a balance. You also have to trade in four eligible devices to get the deal.

Verizon: Buy an iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max with a new line on the Unlimited Ultimate plan (you can upgrade your phone plan too), and you can get a free 10th-gen iPad and Apple Watch Series 10. You need a phone to trade in first, and you'll need a plan for the iPad and Apple Watch for cellular connectivity too (that's how they get you). These “savings” arrive as bill credits over 36 months, so you're locked to that contract. Be wary of activation fees. Honestly, my head hurt reading the fine print.

AT&T: You can get an iPhone 16 for free if you trade-in an eligible device and upgrade or choose a select unlimited plan. The savings are in the form of bill credits, applied over 36 months. (This also applies to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.)

Some of the smaller MVNOs are also offering Cyber Monday iPhone deals. For example, Boost Mobile is offering the iPhone 15 at $350 or the iPhone 13 for just $100, with its Unlimited Premium Plans ($60/month). Straight Talk is knocking $100 off the price of an iPhone 15 Pro with one of its plans starting from $35/month.

It is possible to find Cyber Monday iPhone deals on unlocked devices—no carrier to deal with—but the catch? These devices are all Amazon Renewed, so their quality can vary. Make sure to check the quality rating and try to aim for “Excellent.” Also, after you receive your device, if the phone does not meet those expectations, take pictures and submit a claim for a return. There's a 90-day return window.

• Renewed iPhone 14 for $600 ($50 off) at Amazon
• Renewed iPhone 15 for $614 ($108 off) at Amazon
• Renewed iPhone 15 Pro for $719 ($156 off) at Amazon
• Renewed iPhone 16 for $770 ($30 off) at Amazon
• Renewed iPhone 16 Pro for $965 ($280 off) at Amazon

If you're willing to shop used, you can also find great prices from websites like Swappa or Gazelle. (Though these are not “deals.”)

I test many cases in a year. It's hard to list all the sales on each of them, so here are a few sitewide promotions and standout phone case deals, no matter what smartphone you have (though these companies mostly make cases for iPhones, Samsung devices, and Pixels). Read up on our case guides to see what we like: iPhone 16, iPhone 15, iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12, Galaxy S24, Galaxy S23, and Pixel 9.

OtterBox makes some of our favorite protective cases, but there are also other options with fun designs, not to mention chargers and the like.

Casetify's Cyber Monday deal is specific. Buy one case and you can get 15 percent off. Buy two and get 25 percent off, and if you buy three things? 30 percent off! You get a deal, you get a deal, and you get a deal! You can mix and match with things like MagSafe wallets and chargers so it doesn't have to be two or three cases.

Wildflower cases are great for those who are insanely clumsy with their iPhones. It comes equipped with a rubber bumper on both the front and back—protecting both the screen as well as the camera sensors and the actual case itself. It also comes in a bunch of adorable limited-edition prints to choose from. The only downside is a majority of its cases don't come with support for MagSafe but the company just dropped two cases that do. We haven't tested them yet and they don't come with the same bumpers, but they're also on sale. —Brenda Stolyar

Moft makes cases, but we prefer the company's MagSafe accessories, like the which Snap Phone Tripod Stand and the MagSafe wallet and kickstand. The discounts on its website can be enhanced if you use promo codes: BF10 for $10 off anything over $50; BF20 for $20 off anything over $100; BF37 for $37 off anything over $150; and BF60 for $60 off items over $200.

Spigen is a recurring brand in all of our smartphone case guides because it makes affordable and good quality cases. Right now, almost everything is on sale, including Spigen screen protectors.

UAG makes a lot of cases, many of which can be a little too … tactical. But there are some good eggs. The company's sale requires the UAGMONEY code on its website, and the deals run through December 4. You don't need the code if you shop on Amazon.

We're fans of Case-Mate's phone cases and accessories. We particularly like the glittery Karat Granite MagSafe Case for the iPhone 16, which adds a nice touch to the already vivid iPhone colors. Meanwhile, the Soap Bubble Magnetic Wallet is one of our favorite options in our guide to Best MagSafe Wallets—it's roomy, secure, and looks super cute. —Brenda Stolyar

Arc doesn't throw sales often, so this is a good chance to get a small discount on its metal bumper case for the iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max. (Also available for older iPhones and even the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.) You can read more about it in our iPhone 16 case guide.

I've written a broader deals story about Nomad's Black Friday sale right here and highlighted several items. There are lots of goodies, from iPhone cases to our favorite Qi2 wireless charger that's on sale for a ridiculously low $35 ($65 off). Also, the Nomad ChargeKey is a bit of a must-have tchotchke to add to your keychain, giving you a way to charge your phone in a pinch if there's a power source nearby.

Dbrand's Grip case has topped a few of our case guides, and you can customize it further with a skin (there are dozens to choose from). There's even a sick new glow-in-the-dark skin (the company just sent it to me but I haven't had a chance to install it).

If you have to buy one thing from Smartish, I highly recommend the company's Tuff Sheet screen protectors for the iPhone 16. They're great value (even better now). There's a broad 25 percent off sale on its Amazon storefront, but some deeper discounts are on offer, too. Might I suggest the Cable Wrangler? I'm using it right now on my desk to keep my USB-C cables wrangled.

Speck makes solid cases, though I like some more than others. Keep a lookout for its ClickLock cases, which enhances the MagSafe function on iPhones. These can be paired with ClickLock accessories for extra security, so your MagSafe ClickLock Wallet won't slide off your phone when you take it out of your pocket.

Pela makes some seriously colorful eco-friendly cases and accessories for various phones, like the ones featured in our Best Pixel 9 cases guide. The company is offering mix and match buy one get one free deal on cases and accessories, but also buy two get three free, and buy three get four free. You know, in case the whole family needs a new case.

This 10,000-mAh battery can juice up an iPhone fully almost twice. It's our favorite portable charger, especially because the company uses bioplastics and plastic-free minimal packaging.

The Qi2 wireless charging standard was developed in partnership with Apple and features MagSafe-like magnetic alignment and speedier iPhone charging rates of up to 15 watts. This power bank can also charge other Qi2 devices (when they appear) and existing Qi devices (just more slowly). This compact power bank also has a handy kickstand, a two-way USB-C port, and an LED display that shows power and time to charge. You can attach MagSafe iPhones in portrait or landscape orientation, and it works with Apple’s StandBy mode, making it one of the best MagSafe power banks. —Simon Hill

Belkin’s Stand Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) comes with DockKit integration, which means it can use the iPhone’s camera to track your face while the 360-degree base automatically moves around to keep you in the frame. It’s great for anyone who FaceTimes a lot and finds themselves searching for objects to prop the phone on. It’s also an excellent accessory for content creators who want to record hands-free videos on the go. With a built-in battery, you don’t need to worry about being near a power source either. But with support for MagSafe, you can also use it as a charger. —Brenda Stolyar

The Clicks Keys Case (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the first-of-its-kind iPhone case that has a built-in keyboard. The tactile keys make it a lot easier to type up emails, documents, Slack messages, and more, right on your phone. But you should be prepared to set aside a few days or a few weeks to get used to them. We also only recommend this case for the iPhone 16 models—it has a more durable design, an improved keyboard, and support for both MagSafe and Carplay.

This is our favorite 2-in-1 MagSafe charger. The smart design has a shiny metallic post that connects it to the MagSafe charging pad and the wide-weighted base. You can use the top portion to charge your iPhone and the bottom to charge your AirPods (as long as the case has wireless charging support). It charges at the maximum 15-watt rate too. —Brenda Stolyar
