Here’s our pick of the eight best smartphone deals for Black Friday 2024.

The 8 best smartphone deals for Black Friday 2024

Samsung Galaxy S24, a safe bet

Launched at the beginning of the year, this high-end smartphone from Samsung is offered at an extremely attractive price for this Black Friday. And it is an excellent product, whose compact format is especially suitable for those who like to use their mobile phone with one hand.

It is also a small pump in terms of its technical characteristics. Its screen, as always with Samsung, is of exceptional quality. Its Exynos 2400 chip offers quality performance. Finally, it is also in photography where this product stands out, with three excellent rear sensors (ultra wide angle, wide angle and x3 telephoto lens) that offer you colorful and sharp shots.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro, an ideal option for small budgets

It is Xiaomi’s “star” smartphone and, good news, it is even cheaper for Black Friday 2024! The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 is actually a very good smartphone considering its price. It offers you an excellent quality screen, worthy of the best smartphones, completely honest performance and a photographic score that, although it is far from equaling that of high-end smartphones, is enough to take beautiful photographs during the day.

But it also has advantages that some much more expensive smartphones do not have. It benefits from excellent autonomy and very fast charging of 67 W.

iPhone 16, the new Apple smartphone at a lower price

Apple isn’t known for its commercial generosity, and Black Friday 2024 is a chance to make a little savings on its latest baby! The iPhone 16 is a notable evolution of the iPhone 15, although its design changes little: only the position of the two rear cameras allows us to distinguish them… Unless we look a little closer: the iPhone 16 also has a new “Camera Control” button that allows you to quickly access your camera and adjust its settings.

At the heart of the device we also find a new chip, the A18, prepared for the new artificial intelligence functions of iOS, and a slightly improved battery, which allows it to reach new heights in terms of performance autonomy: it has. Up to 22 hours of use, compared to 20 hours for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15!

iPhone 15, the choice of motif

The iPhone 15 resists! This smartphone, launched last year, is indeed an excellent option to purchase an Apple phone without spending (too much). It brings some notable innovations with respect to the iPhone 14. Starting with the presence, finally, of a USB-C socket, which will allow you to use any charger to plug it in.

But it is also better in photography, thanks to the presence of an ultra wide angle and a 48 megapixel main sensor, which offers more versatility for your photographs, in particular the possibility of a x2 optical zoom. It is also an excellent terminal from the point of view of features and ergonomics, with an iOS improved even further from this model with the presence of Dynamic Island, a very practical interface around the screen notch.

Apple iPhone 14, still a great smartphone!

Apple’s iPhone 14 is already two years old… But it remains a particularly interesting product today, both from the point of view of design and specifications. As a reminder, Apple usually offers 7 years of software support for its smartphones and sometimes even more. Therefore, an iPhone 14 purchased today should continue to work perfectly until at least 2029.

Its features remain worthy of the best current smartphones, especially in terms of performance and autonomy, two great strengths of Apple. Only its photographic component is a little behind its successors: this device only benefits from a 12 megapixel main sensor and an ultra wide angle, both very satisfactory.

Google Pixel 8 Pro, excellence in photography

Launched in 2023, this high-end smartphone from Google hasn’t aged one bit! It is a large smartphone, with its beautiful 6.7-inch Amoled screen, particularly bright. It is also a powerful and fluid phone, perfect for all the AI ​​functions that Google has integrated into it, thanks to its Tensor G3 chip.

But above all, the Pixel 8 Pro is one of the best camera phones on the market. It has three excellent rear sensors: a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 48-megapixel telephoto lens, and also a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor. A cocktail of formidable efficiency day and night, especially when you know Google’s performance in image processing.

Honor 200 Smart, a resistant and durable smartphone

With its Honor 200 Smart, the old Huawei brand wants to step on Xiaomi’s heels: it is a really affordable smartphone, and it still stands out for its very interesting features. First of all, it is much more resistant to falls than average, especially with the tempered glass treatment. It is also waterproof (IP64), which is rare in this price range.

We also appreciate its large 5200 mAh battery, which guarantees you long hours of use without having to go through the charging box: Honor announces 19 hours of streaming video playback. Not bad! On the other hand, you have to settle for a modest processor and a single 50 megapixel camera.

Samsung Galaxy S22, a high-end smartphone at a low price

Launched two years ago, the Galaxy S22 has not said its last word… because it is offered at an especially low price for this Black Friday 2024. However, it is still a magnificent high-end smartphone, despite its age! Compact, thanks to its magnificent 6.1-inch screen, it is very well built, well finished and designed.

Its Exynos 2200 processor certainly looked a bit “old”, but it still has very decent performance in 2024: Samsung has also assured that the S22 will get Android 16 in 2027! Then you are at peace from this point of view. Otherwise, it is a “real” high-end smartphone, with its triple photo sensor, including a 3x optical zoom, something rare at this price!

Which smartphone to choose during Black Friday 2024?

You have many options if you want to change your smartphone for Black Friday 2024. It’s simple: all or almost all models are on sale! But you still have to find the best deals. There is an excellent technique for this: look at the prices of smartphones released the previous year. Subjected to a frenetic race for innovation, all mobile phone manufacturers renew their ranges every year… And they tend to sell models that are still excellent, but have only existed for a year!

Among them are, in particular, Samsung smartphones: the high-end models (Galaxy S) of the Korean brand see their prices drop drastically from one year to the next, and we recommend that you take a look at the prices of the Galaxy S23. or S22, which have dropped significantly! The same goes for Google smartphones: the excellent Pixel 8 series is now much more affordable, and even the Pixel 7s are a good deal. So that ? Because Google has indicated that all its smartphones will now have 7 years of software support. In other words, if you buy a Pixel 7 today, you still have five years of Android updates planned. It’s really appreciable.

Obviously, it’s a little different if you’re looking for an Apple smartphone: their smartphones retain a higher value over the years and their price drops less… But it keeps dropping! We can find iPhone 15 and 15 Pro at very attractive prices for this Black Friday. But you can also choose an older smartphone. Because this is another advantage of Apple terminals: their longevity… So a new iPhone 12 is always a good investment: its features are still worthy of a high-end smartphone, and it can serve you for many years!
