The best Black Friday deals on unlocked phones
Table of Contents
If you've been limping along with a sad phone that will no longer hold a charge, it's time to make the upgrade. Even if you try to limit the amount of time spent looking at your phone, it's a necessary piece of tech these days. An unlocked phone allow you the ability switch plans, carriers, or swap to a new phone if you'd like. Plus, they're excellent for installing an e-sim for international travel.
While Black Friday isn't officially here yet, the major retailers aren't waiting and they're packed with great deals on unlocked phones. Options include basic budget models that are perfect for kids or anyone who doesn't need fancy features. Or you can go with some of the latest and best designs. Keep in mind iPhones tend to be the exception here, and it's not common to find a great deal on an unlocked iPhone. Carriers tend to offer the best value for those.
Before we fill up on pie later this week, shop these unlocked phone deals before they disappear.

Why we like it
Google's lineup of Pixel phones rarely disappoints. Instead, they offer a great value for those aren't tied to iOS. The Pixel 10 comes with all the essentials we've come to love about Pixel phones like solid battery life, a bright display, and a telephoto camera lens. In Mashable's review of the Pixel 10, Tech Reporter Alex Perry noted it's a great upgrade if you current phone needs an update and he was able to get about 26 hours of life before it asked for a recharge, not including time spent sleeping. The $699 sale price applies to the 256GB version, which is $200 off and matches the record-low. But you can also go with less storage and spend $599 on the 128GB Pixel 10 which is also $200 off the normal.
