Need Help Finding a New Smartphone? Check Out These 2020 Black Friday Deals

The Hottest Black Friday Cell Phone Deals

If you have been eyeing the latest flagship phone, you might be able to get your hands on it this Black Friday without emptying your wallet. Almost every major smartphone brand will offer Black Friday 2020 deals on new releases, and some old favorites too.

This year, we have seen multiple releases from Google, Samsung and Apple, and our old favorites already have lower price tags. We are well on the way to excellent Black Friday cell phone deals this 2020 and already making predictions for the big day. So, we have highlighted some of the best cell phone deals expected to arrive this November.

When Do Black Friday Deals Start?

This year, Black Friday falls on November 27, right after American Thanksgiving. You will see plenty of phone deals popping up a few weeks before the day, or even a whole month in advance.

Many retailers will start offering deals from late October all the way into December. Amazon's Black Friday deals will likely begin around October 26, nearly a month before the event. Plus, they will be available to every shopper, even those who are not Amazon Prime members.

If you have been saving up to get a new cell phone for yourself or a loved one, Black Friday is the best opportunity to do so.

Will COVID-19 Effect Black Friday?

With COVID-19 you might be wondering if Black Friday deals will be affected this year. However, there is currently no news of Black Friday being impacted by the pandemic.

COVID-19 did affect the supply chains in early 2020, but businesses are returning to normal. Hence, sales are expected to be the same as last year. The shopping experience will also be the same, with additional safety precautions in place.

Apart from that, Cyber Monday will also see popularity, as Coronavirus is giving rise to online shopping. We are expecting big deals this year, starting much sooner than last year.

Black Friday Deals Expected in 2020

Black Friday will bring along some surprises, as always. This year, it is highly likely that the most popular deals will be on the iPhone 11 and Samsung's Galaxy S20 series.

Apple iPhone 11 and iPhone SE

You can get your hands on some of the hottest deals by Apple. Due to the expected release of the iPhone 12 this year, the prices of the iPhone 11 are already lowering. You can get the same incredible features of the iPhone 11 at much lower prices as Black Friday deals arrive.

For iPhone SE, the prices can drop down to as low as $120 USD. Yes, put that on your list! Meanwhile, if the iPhone 12 releases before the end of November, you might also see the new set bundled with gift cards.

Samsung Galaxy Note20 and Galaxy S20

If you have been holding off for the ultimate Samsung Galaxy Note20 deals, now is the time to get your hands on one while saving big bucks. The brand-new flagship is also expected to be bundled with Galaxy Buds.

We are predicting the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S30 range at the beginning of 2021. That means the Galaxy S20 models might also see some big discounts.

Google Pixel

We would also expect quite a few Black Friday cell phone deals on the Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 4. Even though these models are discontinued, retailers will try to clear out inventory and the prices will drop.

Additionally, the Google Pixel 4a might go down as low as $250. Plus, you could save up to $200 USD on the Pixel 5.

Previous Black Friday Cell Phone Deals

There are some Black Friday phone deals from 2019 that may prepare you for this year. They will give you a better idea of what to expect this year.

Black Friday iPhone Deals

During Black Friday 2019, Best Buy hosted carrier deals for iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. The prices for iPhone 11 Pro dropped down to roughly half the original price if you activated a new line with a phone plan on Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint, and traded in your old cell phone.

Best Buy also introduced a similar deal for iPhone 11, which you could get for $199 USD after paying off the installment plan.

Black Friday Samsung Deals

In 2019, Samsung ran a huge Black Friday promotion on its sets, dropping the price by hundreds of dollars and including free Galaxy Buds. The Samsung Galaxy S10 started at $749.99 USD, while the Galaxy Note10 Plus came down by $200 USD at Samsung and Amazon.

At Best Buy, you could save up to $500 USD on Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, Note 10 Plus, or Note 10 Plus 5G if you activated a phone plan on Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T.

Black Friday Google Pixel Deals

During Black Friday 2019 deals, the Google Pixel 4 was seen at $599 USD and Pixel 4 XL at $699 USD on Amazon, Best Buy and through the Google Store.

Best Buy also offered $400 USD off on the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL if your phone plan was active on Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint. The deal required no trade-in, which made it an overall great deal last year.

Waiting for Black Friday Deals

If you have your eyes on one of the latest models being released, Black Friday will indeed have some tempting deals.

What's more, you can even get your hands on the older models that are discounted more than the new releases. So, Black Friday 2020 could be the best time to buy a cell phone, even if it is not the latest release.

Apple might release the iPhone 12 by November, translating to big deals and discounts on older iPhone models. Samsung cell phones will also see some good price cuts.

Final Wrap Up

Black Friday 2020 is likely to bring along some great deals and discounts on cell phones. If you can wait until November, there will be quite a few cell phone deals up for grabs that are worth waiting for. Have fun shopping!
