Black Friday came and went, and now we're approaching Cyber Monday, which always sees some intense discounts on unlocked phones. If you're looking for a new smartphone, this is the best time of year to grab one, since most of the more expensive phones are on sale, and there's sure to be one perfect for you (or a gift for someone special).
Update: Cyber Monday may be over, but we are still tracking all the best Android phone deals so be sure to check them out so you don't miss any great discounts.
This year, we're looking at a few great discounts on a bunch of the best Android phones, and a couple of smaller decent ones that will still turn some heads. In particular, the $550 Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is the best deal you'll see, followed by the Moto G Power at $180. The Pixel 5 has also received its first discount, bringing it down to $650, and if you're on the Apple side, you can grab a $50 gift card with the iPhone SE, bringing it down to $350.

Google's newest phone may not be exactly what people wanted from a flagship Pixel this year, but it's still got one of the best Android experiences anywhere — and the camera is better than anything else out there.
One of the best low-cost Android phones you can buy right now is the Moto G Power. The big draw to the phone is its 5,000 mAh battery, which allows for up to three days of use on a single charge. Talk about long endurance. It's discounted $70 for Cyber Monday.
Samsung's Galaxy S20+ is down to its lowest price ever right now for Cyber Monday, which is great because it's an incredible phone.

Plus, with 12GB of RAM, this thing will keep going for years and years and years...
The iPhone SE is worth buying even when it's not on sale, but a $50 gift card and Apple TV+ free for a year really sweetens the deal.
