This year’sBlack Friday dealsare now live, with savings available on everything from cell phones and TVs to air fryers and robot vacuums. I’ve already highlighted several eye-catchingdeals on three of the best cheap phones in 2023, but there are currently even bigger savings to be taken advantage of on two of thebest phones, period: theSamsung Galaxy S23 UltraandPixel 8 Pro.
In the US, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is a whopping$300 off at Amazon right now (at $899.99, down from $1,199.99), while the Pixel 8 Pro is currently$200 off at the same retailer (at $789, down from $999). Both prices represent record lows.
In the UK, too, you can pick up the Galaxy S23 Ultra for a record-low£999 at Samsung itself(by applying code S23ULTRA250 at checkout), while thePixel 8 Pro is down to just £949(though again, you’ll only see the £50 saving at checkout). The latter price isn’t a record-low – we’ve seen the Pixel 8 Pro drop to £934 at Amazon once before – but £949 is only £15 shy of that price.

Samsung Galaxy S23 UltraUS:was $1,199.99 now$899.99 at AmazonUK:was £1,249 now£999 at SamsungWinner ofTechRadar’s reader’s choice awards for 2023, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is a fantastic pick if you’re on the hunt for a flagship device with heaps of power, a gorgeous display, and class-leading cameras. It’s currently on sale for a record-low price in both the US and UK (at Amazon and Samsung, respectively), though if you’ve got an existing Samsung device to trade in,Samsung’s discount-plus-rebate offermay be the better option. In the UK,some third-party sellersare selling the S23 Ultra for an even better price at Amazon, but we’re inclined to side with Samsung in the interest of security.
Google Pixel 8 ProUS:was $999 now$789 at AmazonUK:was £999 now£949 at AmazonGoogle’s best-ever Pixel phone has only just arrived, but it’s already been discounted to a record-low price at Amazon in the US. There’s a welcome $50 saving to be taken advantage of in the UK, too. Put simply, the Pixel 8 Pro is a fantastic phone, with great cameras and cool new AI features that you’ll only find on a Pixel phone. What’s more, Google has promised to support this phone for a whopping seven years, so this is a great deal that’ll pay off long-term.
