Black Friday is just over two weeks away, as of writing, but you don't have to wait if you're looking for a discount on a new phone. In fact, several of the top retailers in the US and UK have already launched their annual Black Friday sales ahead of the big day itself, with thousands off the latest phones from Apple, Samsung, Google, and others.

I've been covering Black Friday phone deals for over five years now, and in my opinion, several of these early bird promos are really worth considering. I've been scanning high and low this week, price-checking and referencing previous promotions to find the biggest discounts. Many of these deals are some of the best of the year so far.

Over in the US, the headline promotions include free earbuds and smartwatches at Verizon, included iPhones at T-Mobile, and huge upfront discounts on unlocked devices at Samsung. The bigger carriers are battling it out for the overall biggest savings right now (up to $1,200 off), but cheaper options like Mint Mobile are also offering very competitive options for new customers currently.

In the UK, the best deal (in my opinion) is Samsung's huge £400 discount on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 — an outstanding promotion for an unlocked device. You'll also find very strong options at the major networks via various trade-in criteria and plan discounts, should you want a contract. Finally, Voxi Mobile is a great choice if you need something a little cheaper, as this fantastic budget network is currently offering up to £390 off the latest Google Pixel 11.
