FAQ

Which retailer has the best Black Friday Samsung deals?

It depends on what you're looking for! Pretty much every retailer under the sun will be launching holiday sales as we approach Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, so you'll want to be vigilant and look around before committing to one retailer (or you could simply bookmark Androidcentral.com for comprehensive deal coverage). 

That being said, if you are hoping to buy unlocked Samsung devices, retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart will probably be your best bet. If you're willing to make a trade-in or update your wireless service, consider checking with your phone carrier or Samsung itself to see what offers are available. 

Should I shop on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? 

The biggest discounts on devices such as smartphones, TVs, and video game consoles usually go live on Black Friday, while Cyber Monday is typically a better time to purchase smaller items like accessories and smart home tech. With that being said, some devices will sell out before Monday hits, so don't wait to buy if something catches your eye.

When will Black Friday sales start?

Although no retailers are naming it as such, the Black Friday sales have pretty much already begun. In the coming days, you'll see retailers across the web launching sales to get shoppers ready for the holiday season — the big question is whether these offers will improve as we near November 29th. Needless to say, if you're looking for a Samsung deal this holiday season, bookmark this page: I'll keep updating this guide with new offers as they go live. 

What Samsung deals can I expect during Black Friday?

If Amazon's recent Prime Day sale (aka Big Deal Days) is any indication, you can expect the return of record-breaking discounts on the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, and the latest lineup of Samsung smartwatches. Samsung smart TVs are also likely to receive some major discounts, and if we're lucky, we might see the first batch of price drops on the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Tab S10 series of tablets.
