What to Expect on Black Friday
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are when some of the biggest and best cell phone sales of the entire year happen. And year after year, cell phones are some of the hottest selling items.
So, for Black Friday 2022, you can expect all kinds of deals on cell phones from various brands. Typically, the biggest deals can be found on older phones. For example, phones released last year will be more deeply discounted than phones from this year. Buying a 2021 smartphone can net you a lower price and more savings than a just-released 2022 phone.
Additionally, deals can be found at both wireless carriers and retailers. You’ll want to look for deals at the biggest cell phone companies like Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T. You should also scan the deals available at popular retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. These big box stores tend to offer the best – and very similar – cell phone deals each year during this big holiday shopping event.
Lastly, you’ll want to shop early to save this year. As more retailers continue to take their biggest Black Friday deals online, you won’t need to visit your local stores to get doorbuster wireless deals. You can shop from home, scoring deals from your computer, phone, or tablet. That means you’ll want to search online before Black Friday arrives to see what kinds of deals and offers are available.
