As you might have noticed, all of the biggest retailers have launched epic Black Friday sales that could save you a ton of cash this holiday season, but you might not have realized that quite a few wireless carriers are getting in on the action as well. We're here to fill you in on a particularly tempting offer from Verizon that'll give you one of our favorite phones for cheap. Add a new line with one of the carrier's eligible 5G Unlimited plans and they'll hook you up with a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G for a mere $5 per month for 36 months. No kidding.

Verizon's 5G Start, Do More, Play More, and Get More plans are all eligible for the deal, and you'll be saving a total of $319.99 over 36 months. Not too shabby for a device that we've selected time and time again as the best cheap Android phone that money can buy. Typically retailing for around $499.99, the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G boasts a stunning AMOLED 120Hz display, some nearly flagship-quality cameras, and a very-respectable 5,000mAh battery that should last well over a day on a single charge.
