Retailers Roll Out Early Black Friday Phone Deals Worth Up to $1,200

Summary
$1,200 discounts and even free phones are already appearing ahead of Black Friday, with T-Mobile, AT&T, Best Buy, Samsung and Google pushing offers on iPhones, Galaxy devices and Pixels.
Carrier promotions drive the biggest savings: T-Mobile offers a free iPhone 18 Pro or up to $1,200 off some Samsung models with trade-ins and premium plans, while AT&T ties similar credits to eligible unlimited plans.
Unlocked buyers are also seeing direct cuts, including $300 off the Google Pixel 11, $200 off the Galaxy S26 Plus and smaller markdowns on older iPhone and Pixel models.
The early push comes as smartphone prices have risen across major brands, making Black Friday one of the few chances to offset higher launch prices.
More deals are expected as Black Friday nears, but the report says shoppers chasing the most popular models may benefit from buying early before inventory tightens.
