Black Friday is almost here, which is a big deal for tech fans, gaming fans, and gaming tech fans. If that means you, keep reading, because I reckon we’re due to see big discounts on some of the best gaming phones during this year’s biggest shopping event.
That’s more than just a hunch – from last year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales to the various Prime Day sales since, we’ve seen some serious deals on top gaming phone models in the last 12 months.
And if that wasn’t enough, we can already see a small crop of gaming phone deals as retailers start to roll out early Black Friday discounts.
It seems likely that the ROG Phone 9 and ROG Phone 9 Pro will be discounted again, especially considering that both handsets have now been on the market for almost a year.
With the Galaxy S25 series being almost a year old, it’s likely we’ll see some solid price cuts for the best Samsung phones as sales ramp up.
And while the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are possibly still too new on the scene to see any big deals, stranger things have happened during Black Friday.
It’s more likely that we’ll see price cuts for the previous-generation iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, both of which are still pretty beastly handsets thanks to the A18 Pro chipset and 8GB of RAM.
Whether you’re after a specialist gaming phone from Asus ROG or RedMagic, or a mainstream iPhone or Samsung Galaxy handset with enough power for the best mobile games, it’s likely we’ll see some great gaming phone deals this Black Friday. Let us know which gaming phones you want to see discounted in the comments below.
