Thinking of upgrading your smartphone? This is the right time to do so. Huge discounts are coming your way this Friday as retailers prepare for the busy Black Friday sale. Here is a list of some of the best smartphone deals from Amazon, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target and others.
Retailers are not only offering some of the older entries but latest releases such as the iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 are also under the discount banner.
Walmart:
Walmart is offering one of the biggest sales nationwide. Smartphones make a prominent discount category this Friday. The retail giant is offering the 16GB iPhone 6 with a two-year contract for $179. Crowning the deal is a $75 gift card that can be redeemed during the purchase, dropping the total upfront cost to a little over $100.
Walmart is also offering last year's iPhone 5S for just $79 on contract with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint. With a $75 gift card, Walmart's price for a subsidized iPhone 5S comes down to just $3.
If you are gunning for an Android smartphone, Walmart is offering the Samsung Galaxy S5 for $99 with a two-year contract. The Samsung Galaxy Ace Style is being offered at $29- that's a $100 discount provided you walk in to the store between 6p.m. to 7p.m. during its 1-hour guarantee sale.
Best Buy:
Best Buy also has some great deals on phones. The 16GB version of the Apple iPhone 6, which is being sold for $104 in Walmart, will be even cheaper at Best Buy. For $99, customers can pick up Apple's latest flagship smartphone on contract with AT&T, Sprint or Verizon. But the deal requires customers to trade-in their working iPhone for a minimum $100 gift card.
Android fans can pick up the Samsung Galaxy S5 for just $1 by signing a two-year contract with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint. Samsung's latest flagship, Galaxy Note 4, can be purchased for zero down with a two-year carrier contract and will also include a $50 gift card.
