With Black Friday right around the corner, here’s where you can get your hands on a premium smartphone for less than the sticker price.

Black Friday is less than five days away, so it’s time to prepare for those big-ticket purchases. If you’re looking at using this year’s deal day to score an industry-leading smartphone, here’s where you’ll find those devices with a respectable markdown.

Apple iPhone 11, 11 Pro, Pro Max

Though Target isn’t marking down the sticker price of any of the latest iPhones, the company is offering a $200 gift card when the device is activated with AT&T or Verizon; the same deal applies with the iPhone XS and XS Max.

If you’re looking at getting more than one device, you save $700 on a second device from the iPhone 11 series at Verizon when you order a new line and an Unlimited package.

Likewise, if you open a new line and trade in a qualifying phone with AT&T, you could get $700 off your iPhone 11 series device.

Samsung Galaxy S10 and Note 10

With an in-store trade-in and qualified activation, those who are shopping at Best Buy for their Samsung Galaxy S10 or Note 10 series device can get up to $750 off.

If you don’t have a device to trade in, you could still get between $400 and $500 off one of the flagship Samsung smartphones with qualified activation at Best Buy.

On the other hand if you’re shopping for bonuses with your phone trade-in, you could get a free set of Galaxy Buds with your Galaxy Note 10 purchase. Depending on which type of device you trade in directly to Samsung, you could get up to $500 off your new Note 10.

Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL

Similar to the iPhone deals, if you activate a Pixel 4 or Pixel 4 XL at Target with AT&T or Verizon, you’ll get a store gift card; this one, however, is worth $300.

Amazon has unlocked versions of both variants on sale for $200 off on Black Friday.

The same deal will be available directly through Google’s online store.

If you’ve been eyeing the latest Apple, Samsung, and Google smartphones, this Friday may be your opportunity to get one in hand. IB/JB
