The best free Android phone deals of January 2026

Samsung Galaxy S25 128GB: $799.99 Up to four FREE phones with four lines for $25/line at Verizon

This deal is a bit of a mouthful, but it's also simpler than it sounds. Grab the AI-boosted Samsung Galaxy S25 with a new line on Verizon's introductory Unlimited Welcome plan with AutoPay and you could get up to four devices for free. The wireless will also drop to $25/month per line, making it a great deal for the whole family.

Only want one Galaxy S25? This deal will still land you the free phone with the Unlimited Welcome plan, but the wireless will be more expensive.

Note: there's a similar deal available for the Google Pixel 10 if you'd rather go that route.

Google Pixel 10 Pro 128GB: $999.99 FREE with eligible unlimited plan at T-Mobile

Google Pixel 9a 128GB: $499.99 FREE with most data plans at T-Mobile

The Pixel 9a is one of our favorite cheap phones, boasting a sophisticated design with Google's own Tensor processor and some flagship-level camera tech. Head to T-Mobile and add a line with most data plans and you'll get the phone for free, no trade-in required. This includes T-Mo's affordable Essentials plan.

Motorola Razr Plus (2025) 256GB: $799.99 FREE with eligible data plan at T-Mobile

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 256GB: $1,299.99 FREE with Unlimited Ultimate plan at Verizon

The Galaxy S25 Ultra ranks among the most powerful phones ever built, with a spacious AMOLED display, built-in stylus, and one of the fastest processors on the market. It's also quite expensive, which is why I'm happy to see Verizon knock the price down to $0 when you add a line with the Unlimited Ultimate plan. Sure, that's the carrier's most expensive data plan, but if you want the best of the best, this deal is it.
