Black Friday is still a few days away, but highly anticipated deals are getting a head start. If you or someone you know is in the market for a new smartphone, like the iPhone 13, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra or Google Pixel 6, now's a good time to start shopping.

We've done the heavy lifting and found the best deals for all three phones, plus a few extras from various retailers and carriers, so you can find what you need. Just keep in mind that it is still early in the week, and more deals are likely to emerge as Black Friday gets closer.

Also note that while many of the deals retailers offer say you'll save a significant chunk of money, carriers often tie these to device trade-ins, so you may get a significantly smaller discount if you don't have an older device to hand over.

In some cases, like at Best Buy, there's also an added discount for same-day activation. So, you may see a deal for $150 off, but $100 of that may come from switching your number over to your new phone on the spot.

Early Black Friday iPhone deals

Apple's Black Friday deals won't start until the actual day of, but there may still be a few iPhone deals sprinkled across other retailers throughout the week. The discounts may not be as steep as with other manufacturers, but you may still be able to save a few bucks.

Early Black Friday Samsung Galaxy deals

If you're in the market for a new Samsung phone, you've got a few more options. Samsung has a few deals directly on its website, which can save you up to $250 and score you a free pair of Galaxy Buds 2. You can also get the Galaxy Z Flip from Amazon for $150 off right now, although you won't get any free earbuds with your purchase.

Early Black Friday Google Pixel 5 and 6 deals

Like the iPhone, Pixel deals are sparse right now. Verizon has a few offers for the Pixel 6 that can save you $150 on a pretty great phone. There's some fine print, though; as noted above, these discounts come with the requirement that you activate the phone at the time of purchase. That's not a problem if you're looking to upgrade your own device, but it may create a few (solvable) complications if you're holiday shopping for someone else.
