It’s Black Friday Week, and we’ve reached Cyber Monday, so there are still deals to be had. Long gone are the days when you have to wait for the day itself, and we’ve found the best deals on phones and accessories in the UK to save you the huge hassle of looking.
Below you’ll find the top deals for flagship, mid-range and budget phones, which we’ve been updating throughout November, adding deals for more specific phone categories, as well as accessories like chargers and trackers, as and when we see them.
We’re also hand-picking the best Samsung Galaxy deals and best Google Pixel deals if you’re a fan of those specific brands.
After the deals are our top tips and tricks for making sure you get the best deals out of Black Friday season.
How we choose phone deals
We live and breathe phones here are Tech Advisor and know a good deal when we see one and how to verify it. We’ll only recommend deals on phones and accessories we’ve tested or brands we trust. You’ll only see deals we would suggest to colleagues, friends and family.
Having reviewed just about every phone that hits the market, we know how much they should cost and can see through fake RRPs. We also use price history tools to check if it really is the lowest ever seen, and we thoroughly check all major retailers as well as some lesser-known ones.
Essentially, we combine the hard legwork with our expertise to make sure you are getting the right deal.
Best Black Friday flagship phone deal: Samsung Galaxy S25
- Was £799
- Now £499
- £300 off, lowest ever price
- Blueblack colour
- At Currys
Luke Baker
Why buy it? While there are five Galaxy S25 models to choose from, each with different lures, the regular model will be plenty of phone for most people. It’s a compact powerhouse. It’s extremely fast, with an excellent screen and cameras plus plenty of Galaxy AI features. Charging as slow and it doesn’t have Qi2 magnets like the Pixel 10 series but you can add this via a case if you want.
Who’s it for? You want one of the best compact flagship phones around at a great price.
The catch? It’s only available in one colour, while the others are an extra £100.
Top alternatives:
- Google Pixel 10 (Lemongrass) – £499 (£300 off)
- Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – £849 (£400 off)
- Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra – £499 (£250 off)
Best Black Friday mid-range phone deal: Google Pixel 9a
- Was £499
- Now £345.95
- Porcelain colour
- 31% off, lowest ever price
- At Amazon

Why buy it? The Google Pixel 9a is one of our favourite mid-range phones of the year and if you’ve been waiting to get one, then it’s paid off – literally. Google’s cheapest current-gen smartphone is a really good all-rounder for performance, design, cameras, software and more and is extremely good value in this deal.
Note: The deal is limited to the Porcelain colour, but if you don’t mind spending a little more black (Obsidian) is another £1 and all colours are available from all major retailers at £349, including Google, Argos, Very, Currys and John Lewis.
Who’s it for? You want the best value Pixel phone available right now.
Top alternatives:
- Samsung Galaxy S24 FE – £399 (£250 off)
- Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5G – £449 (£200 off)
- Samsung Galaxy S25 FE – £449 (£200 off)
Best Black Friday budget phone deal: Samsung Galaxy A17 5G

Why buy it? Samsung’s latest budget Android phone only launched a few weeks ago, but you can already save big. While it’s almost identical to its predecessor, the Galaxy A17 5G is a sleek phone in design and has a large punchy screen along with a solid main camera (in good lighting) and two-day battery life. Add in Samsung’s long software support and popular user interface, and you’ve got yourself a bargain.
Who’s it for? You want a very cheap Samsung phone to last many years and don’t need powerful performance.
Top alternatives:
- Honor 400 – £299.99 (£100 off with code ‘A400BF50’ at checkout)
- Nothing Phone (3a) Pro – £322.15 (28% off)
- Pixel 8a (refurbished – ‘Fair’ condition) – £198.96 (£300.04 off)
Best Black Friday previous-gen phone deal: Google Pixel 9 Pro
- Was £899
- Now £649
- 28% off, lowest ever price
- At Amazon
Dominik Tomaszewski / Foundry
Why buy it? A lot of Black Friday deals are expired or sold out, including the Galaxy S24 for just £389, but you can still get the Pixel 9 Pro for its lowest ever price on Amazon. It’s an amazing compact flagship phone, we just didn’t love the battery life or slow charging.
Who’s it for? You want a flagship-level phone but don’t mind missing out on the latest hardware features.
Top alternatives:
- Apple iPhone 16 – £599 (£200 off)
- OnePlus 13 – £689 (£310 off)
Best Black Friday phone deal under £100: Xiaomi Redmi Note 14
- Was £179
- Now £99
- 45% off, lowest ever price
- At Amazon
Jon Mundy / Foundry
Why buy it? Ok, we haven’t actually tested this exact model but we reviewed the 5G model (shown above) as well as the Note 14 Pro. The 4G model on offer here is very similar and has a huge discount taking it under £100. It’s a 2025 model and you get a large AMOLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 108Mp main camera, along with a decent battery and faster charging than some flagship phones.
Who’s it for? You want a really cheap phone with a big screen and good battery life and don’t mind about 5G.
Top alternative:
- Motorola Moto G15 – £99.99 (29% off)
- Honor X5c Plus – £59 (26% off)
Best Black Friday fast charger deal: Anker Nano 45W USB-C
- Was £24.99
- Now £17.99
- 24% off, lowest ever price
- At Amazon
Anker
Why buy it? Very few phones come with a charger (aka an adapter) these days and choosing the right one is harder than ever. There are certainly cheaper options out there but we recommend this model from Anker, which is affordable, compact (including foldable pins) and includes a 6ft cable too. It can charge at up to 45W with PD and PPS tech, covering most phones – including iPhone 17 and Pixel 10 Pro XL.
Who’s it for? You want a great all-round charger able to hit 45W on many devices.
Best Black Friday MagSafe charger deal: Anker Zolo Magnetic
- Was £17.99
- Now £11.99
- 33% off, lowest ever price
- At Amazon
Anker
Why buy it? Magnetic Qi2 charging has been around for a while, but it’s only going to become more common now that the Pixel 10 series has introduced it (as Pixelsnap) to flagship Android phones. While this model says it’s not for Pixel, but one review says it works fine with a Pixel 10. The charger snaps neatly into place with magnets and can charge at 15W.
Who’s it for? You want a cheap MagSafe charging puck.
Best Black Friday tracker deal: Apple AirTags
- £119
- £74
- 38% off, lowest ever price
- 4-pack
- At Amazon
Apple
Why buy it? The AirTag is arguably the best tracker money can buy and you’ll likely want more than one anyway, so this 4-pack deal is an amazing value buy – recommended by our Deputy Editor. Now cheaper than ever and the perfect accessory for iPhone users.
Who’s it for? Apple users who want to keep track of their belongings.
Android user? Try these alternatives:
- Tile Life360 Mate – £17.99 (36% off)
- Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 – £14 (19% off)
Best Black Friday power bank deal: Belkin BoostCharge
- Was £29.99
- Now £14.99
- 50% off
- At Currys
Belkin
Why buy it? No matter how good your phone battery is, a power bank is one of the most useful accessories you can have – plus it can charge other devices as well. This Belkin model is a bargain with a 10,000mAh capacity, a built-in cable, plus a USB-C port so you can charge a second device at the same time. It’s a no-brainer for your bag at £15.
Best Black Friday eSIM deal: Airalo
- 25% off
- All unlimited plans
- At Airalo
Why buy it? eSIMs are an extremely convenient way of having an additional SIM card in your phone, mainly to avoid roaming charges when travelling abroad. However, they have plenty of uses and you may even need one if you have an eSIM-only phone like the iPhone Air. A whopping 25% off all Airlo’s unlimited data plans is an amazing deal.
Who’s it for? You want a bargain on unlimited eSIM data.
What is Black Friday?
After a holiday of giving thanks for family, friends, and settled life, American retailers opted to juxtapose Thanksgiving with a huge day of commercial spending. Who were we Brits to resist the allure of heavily discounted items, too?
It is debated whether or not Black Friday refers to a day retailers finally went ‘into the black’, meaning they finally made a profit for the year, thanks to heightened sales, or whether it actually has morphed from a description of horrible traffic in Philadelphia on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
When Black Friday first gained huge popularity about 10 years ago, it was usual to see newsreels of people physically fighting over big TVs in the middle of Walmart (or Asda in the UK, which then opted not to take part because of the mayhem).

You can’t blame them really, as scenes often got out of hand at shops. But Black Friday has passed beyond trivial now as it has moved online, and it is serious business for retailers, lasting the whole month of November for many.
Deals stretch into December due to Cyber Monday, which falls on 1 December this year, and many deals we’re seeing in early November will remain until this date or even further (more on price promises below).
Should I wait for an even better deal?
Even with our best crystal ball gazing efforts and many years of experience covering sales, it’s hard to say if you’ll get a better deal if you wait for Black Friday itself or Cyber Monday.
There’s definitely a chance depending on the product and you could always buy now if you see a good deal and return it if you see a better one (keep it unopened in the original packaging). Or some retailers will price match if you see it at a lower price.
Our typical advice is that if you see something you really want at a great price that suits you then go for it. If it’s an Amazon Lightning Deal, then you will need to snag one before the allocated stock runs out or the time runs out.
You can buy with confidence if you see a retailer guaranteeing the price won’t drop lower. For example, Argos products with a ‘Price Promise’ badge purchased between 31 Oct – 2 Dec won’t get any cheaper before 25 December.
Currys also offers a similar scheme and if you’re shopping on Amazon and see a red box saying ‘Limited time deal’ or similar, click on the little ‘i’ next to it to find out how long the deal is available for.
Tip: Colour choice makes a price difference for Black Friday
Argos
Black Friday shopping tips
The most important thing to do when considering whether something is a good deal is to ask yourself: “Would I still want and buy this if it was full price?” Often the answer may be no, which means you need to think whether you’re saving money with a discount, or wasting it caught up in the excitement or fomo of a sale.
A deal for one person won’t be a deal for someone else, no matter how many times Amazon, Argos or John Lewis might tell you otherwise.
It isn’t unusual (or difficult, or illegal) for some retailers to put prices up on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Yes, that’s right – sometimes discount prices are higher on Black Friday or Cyber Monday compared to the rest of the year because dishonest retailers know they will get more page views from people ready to click buy.
You can use resources like CamelCamelCamel or PriceSpy to compare prices to previous days, weeks and months. It’s one of the things we do, along with knowing how much things should cost, to verify if a deal is genuine.
