Best Black Friday phone deals: Google Pixel 5A, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 get big price cuts

This story is part of Gift Guide, our year-round collection of the best gift ideas.

If you're shopping for a new phone this Black Friday, there are plenty of great deals to be had. One of the best Black Friday phone deals can be found at the Google Play Store, which is taking $50 off the Pixel 5A. That brings the price down to just $399, making it an even stronger recommendation for Android fans seeking an affordable device. (Some of these deals are available via other retailers, too.)

Black Friday is also a great time to shop for foldable phones, which are usually significantly more expensive than standard smartphones. Both of Samsung's foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3, are currently on sale. If you're eyeballing the Galaxy Z Fold 3, you can choose to save $250 and get a free pair of Galaxy Buds 2 through Samsung, or save $300 on Amazon.

Whether you're looking for a reliable yet inexpensive device or a high-end foldable phone, there are several deals worth your time and consideration. We'll be updating this story with new deals throughout Black Friday and into next week. You can also check out our guide to how to shop for a new phone for more buying advice.

Google's Pixel 5A 5G already stood out for its sharp screen, smooth performance and affordable price. But at a $50 discount, it's an even more tempting option for those in need of a new Android phone. As the budget-friendly sibling to the Pixel 6, the Pixel 5A comes with a 6.34-inch OLED screen, a dual-lens camera and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765G processor. While it lacks some of the Pixel 6's more advanced camera features, it still comes with useful photography tools from previous Pixels, such as Night Sight.

If you've always wanted a phone with a gigantic screen, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 might be the right choice for you -- especially since you can get it at a $250 discount. While the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is essentially a modern version of the flip phone, the Z Fold 3 unfolds to become a 7.6-inch tablet. It's still expensive at its discounted price of $1,550, but the price cut brings it much closer to the cost of a standard premium phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 3's improved design and larger cover screen make it Samsung's best large-format foldable yet, but keep in mind it still isn't for everyone. This offer also expires on Dec. 5 and applies to the unlocked version as well as carrier-specific versions from Verizon, T-Mobile, US Cellular and AT&T.

Motorola

Shopping on a tighter budget? You'll want to check out the Moto G Power, which is available on Amazon for a $70 discount that brings the price down to just $180. That's the lowest price we've seen on Amazon for this phone in new condition. The Moto G Power lacks 5G support and only comes with 64GB of storage, but packs a lot of value in other areas for the price. It lasts for three days on a single charge, comes with a 48-megapixel main camera and has a 6.6-inch screen. Just note that Moto has already announced the 2022 version of this phone as well.

The OnePlus 9 Pro shines for its gorgeous design, sharp screen, speedy charging and loads of processing power. While $800 is more expensive than some other devices on this list, it's still a decent price cut from the OnePlus 9 Pro's average selling price of about $1,000 on Amazon. It features a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, 50-watt wireless charging and a triple-lens camera. While our reviewer Andrew Hoyle was underwhelmed by the camera, the OnePlus 9 Pro is still a great choice for those who prioritize performance and display quality in a phone.

With a large 6.53-inch screen, plenty of storage and a 48-megapixel camera, the TCL 10L has a lot to offer for its $220 price. The 256GB TCL 10L usually costs $300, but it's available at an $80 discount on Amazon ahead of Black Friday. Our reviewer Eli Blumenthal experienced some lag when testing the TCL 10L, but still gave it credit for its elegant design and ability to handle basic tasks well.
