A new phone is one of the most important tech investments you can make. You probably use it more times each day than any other device, so you’ll want to pick one that’s just right for you. You could spend hours scouring the web looking for the best offers, so we’ve done the legwork for you. We’ve gone ahead and gathered some of the best phone deals available to help you save both time and money.
We’re mainly sticking with unlocked deals for now because carrier-specific deals would grow this list into an encyclopedia. Some of these deals are on the international versions of select devices, which may mean slight variations in specs and affect network compatibility. We’ve made note of the international devices but make sure to check carefully before you buy.
Featured deals: Save $200 on the Galaxy Note 20 or Note 20 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra have only recently hit the shelves, but you can already save $200 on both models from Amazon. With these savings, you can pick up the Note 20 for $799.99 (20% off), or the Note 20 Ultra for $1,099 (15% off). They’re factory unlocked and ready to bring to your network of choice.
Both of these phones are huge, offering 6.7-inch and 6.9-inch screen sizes respectively. As you would expect for the higher price tag, the specs of the Note 20 Ultra are more impressive than that of the Note 20. They’re both powered by the Snapdragon 865 Plus processor, but the battery of the Note 20 Ultra is slightly bigger at 4,500mAh, compared to the 4,300mAh of the Note 20. The Ultra also has 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage while the Note 20 offers 8GB and 128GB.
Both models feature fast charging, wireless and reverse wireless charging, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and IP68 water resistance. All three colors of both models are subject to this price drop.
