Black Friday is among the biggest shopping festivals people look forward to. During this time, stores roll out irresistible offers on everything, from shoes to home appliances and jewelry. However, one product category that attracts a lot of customers is smartphones. Individuals can pick up premium models from top brands and still save! While the sale hasn’t begun yet, here are ten smartphone deals to expect for Black Friday 2023 based on last year’s trends.

Android smartphones
Android smartphones are more cost-effective than iOS devices, but Black Friday provides an opportunity to get an even better price. Here are a few offers that were trending last year:

Walmart has currently listed it for a budget-friendly price of $5.00 per month for 36 months, and eligible customers may also enjoy a trade-in offer and gift card valued at $250. Still, Friday might bring a better deal, so it’s advisable to hold off purchasing until then.
