Back-to-school phone sales 2024 — epic deals on Samsung, Pixel, and more

Motorola Razr Plus (2023) 256GB: $999.99 $599.99 at Amazon

If you don't mind using last year's flip phone, check out this deal that carves a whopping 40% off the Razr Plus (2023). This capable foldable boasts two vibrant AMOLED displays, a Snapdragon chipset, and the nice-feeling vegan leather finish that Motorola has been using so much lately. 

Google Pixel 9 128GB: $799 $399, plus six months free with any six-month plan at Mint Mobile

Buy the new Google Pixel 9 from Mint Mobile and the T-Mobile-owned carrier will hook you up with a $400 discount AND six months of free wireless when you sign up for any six-month data plan. That's like getting 50% off your phone bill for a year!

Moto G Stylus 5G (2024): $294.99 $2.99/month with new line at AT&T

With its 6.7-inch 120Hz display, Snapdragon chipset, and built-in stylus, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is performing at a much higher level than its price tag may indicate. If you want to save even more, add an eligible line to your AT&T service and you'll get the phone for a mere $2.99/month. That's cheaper than the price of a caramel latte (which just so happens to be the name of this model's color variety). 

Google Pixel 9 Pro: $999.99, plus free $200 gift card at Amazon

Preorder the new Google Pixel 9 Pro ahead of its September 4th release date and Amazon will give you a free $200 gift card, no strings attached. That amount of cash could get you quite a few school supplies! 

Motorola Razr Plus (2024): $999.99 $899.99 at Best Buy

The Razr Plus (2024) is easily one of the best foldable phones to drop this year, with two vibrant displays, a capable Snapdragon chipset, and a durable clamshell hinge that's truly a pleasure to use. Best Buy is currently dropping a straight $100 off the flip phone when you buy unlocked, or you can save $200 when you activate today. The retailer will also hook you up with a free month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. 

OnePlus Nord N30 5G: $299.99 $249.99 at Amazon

When it comes to phones under $300, the OnePlus Nord N30 5G is pretty tough to beat. This student-friendly device features a long-lasting 5,050mAh battery with a 120Hz display and expandable storage. It even has a 3.5mm headphone jack, which might be worth the price of entry alone. Grab the N30 unlocked from Amazon and you'll get a nice $50 off your purchase, making the cheap phone even cheaper. 

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: $1,899.99 $30/month with eligible trade-in and new line at Verizon

The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is powerful, feature-packed, and innovative, but it's also very, very expensive.  Fortunately, Verizon is willing to lessen the financial blow by offering up to $819.99 off when you send in any old or broken phone and add a line with the Unlimited Ultimate plan.
