Motorola Moto G6: $200 (save $50)
Josh Miller/CNET
This deal is available now at Best Buy.
Our favorite budget phone of 2018 was already a knockout value for $250, but this $200 price is a steal. The unlocked Android handset has dual rear cameras for portrait photos and some nice extra software touches.
iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR: Save $150
In-store only starting 5 p.m. Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 22)
If you’re looking for the best value of Apple’s 2018 trio, the iPhone XR is our call. Getting this deal requires qualified activation with AT&T, Sprint or Verizon.
Samsung Galaxy S9, Note 9, S9 Plus: Save $300
James Martin/CNET
Available online and in-store starting Thanksgiving, Nov. 22. Requires activation on AT&T, Sprint or Verizon.
T-Mobile customers won’t be able to benefit from any of Best Buy’s offers, but $300 off any of Samsung’s premium phones is a pretty good deal. The deal requires a qualified activation, and exact pricing on the phones appear to vary based on the carrier.
Google Pixel 3 or 3 XL: Save $200
Juan Garzon / CNET
Available in-store with Verizon activation starting Thanksgiving, Nov. 22.
Maybe you want a “pure” Android experience straight from Google, complete with the most innovative camera around. Best Buy will knock $200 off the price of either Pixel 3 phone when you activate in-store with Verizon’s service.
