I review phones for a living — here’s what I look for when shopping for Black Friday deals

OnePlus 12, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, Galaxy s24 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro Fold laying in circle with a Black Friday badge.

Your Black Friday shopping list includes a phone, which is lucky for you since there are so many Black Friday phone deals out there right now. You peruse the list, spot what seems like a reasonable discount on one of the best phones on your wish list and decide to take the plunge. But just as you're about to mash that Buy button, you're seized by a paralyzing thought: What if this really isn't a good deal after all?

It's understandable. With all the discounts out there, you're bound to come across a few turkeys potentially obscuring some truly great deals. But if it's reassuring at all, you're in good hands by coming here.
