AT&T's Black Friday sale begins today, November 24, where you'll unsurprisingly find deals on phones from Apple, Samsung, Google, and Motorola.

For this Black Friday, the best deals from AT&T are for Apple's iPhone 15 models and Samsung's Galaxy S23 series, as well as the Galaxy Z foldables. 

The best carrier deals, at least for phones, aren't usually simple discounts. In AT&T's case, you usually have to trade in your current phone for the new one you want to buy. You also invariably have to sign up to AT&T's premium unlimited plans, if you're not on one already.

Alternatively, AT&T offers hefty discounts on its 36-monthly payment plan. These kinds of deals aren't as ideal as those with trade-in offers, as you're on the hook for three years with the phone you bought.

Best Black Friday iPhone 15 deals from AT&T

You can trade in your current phone (or any old phone you might have lying around) with a trade-in value of at least $130 with AT&T to get $830 credit towards an iPhone 15. For the iPhone 15 Pro models, you can get up to $1,000 for an old phone with a trade-in value of at least $230. 

You can check your current/old phone's trade-in value on the phone's product page on AT&T's website under the "Trade in and save" section when you scroll down.

• iPhone 15 free with trade in and eligible unlimited plan
• iPhone 15 Plus for $100 with trade in and eligible unlimited plan
• iPhone 15 Pro free with trade in and eligible plan
• iPhone 15 Pro Max for $200 with trade in and eligible plan

Just note that you're tied to a 36-month contract for the offer. If you leave AT&T before the 36 months are up, you'll have to pay the remaining balance of the phone.

Best Black Friday Samsung Galaxy deals from AT&T

Similarly to its iPhone deals, AT&T is offering up to $1,000 for trade-ins on Samsung Galaxy phones. You can check the trade-in value of your current (or old) phone on the product page of the Samsung Galaxy phone you want to buy.

These deals on AT&T are better than Samsung's own trade-in offers, so it's worth going through the carrier if you're an AT&T customer, or looking to switch to AT&T. Just note that you're tied to a 36-month contract for the offer. If you leave AT&T before the 36 months are up, you'll have to pay the remaining balance of the phone.

• Samsung Galaxy S23 free with trade in and eligible unlimited plan 
• Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus free with trade in and eligible unlimited plan
• Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for $200 ($1,000 off) with trade in and eligible unlimited plan
• Galaxy Z Flip 5 free with trade in and eligible unlimited plan
• Galaxy Z Fold 5 for $800 ($1,000 off) with trade in and eligible unlimited plan

Keep in mind that the Galaxy S23 series is almost a year old, and Samsung is likely to reveal its next generation of flagship Galaxy S phones early next year, either in January or February. Also keep in mind that Samsung has extremely generous trade-in offers for its Galaxy S phones at launch. Unless you need a new phone now, you're better off waiting for the next generation. 

Samsung's Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 foldable are more recent, and AT&T's deal is a great way to get a hold of them, as long as you're already on an eligible unlimited plan, or willing to sign up for one. 

Best Black Friday Google Pixel deals from AT&T

AT&T is offering discounts for the recent Google Pixel 8 phones within its 36-month payment plans. In total, AT&T's monthly payment discounts amount to a $380 discount for the Pixel 8, and a $500 discount for the Pixel 8 Pro, as long as you sign up for AT&T's 36-month payment plan.

You can get additional credit by trading in your old phone with AT&T's usual trade-in program. However, the trade-in values aren't stellar. The best trade-in value we saw was $600 for a 1TB iPhone 14 Pro Max in good condition, and values quickly drop off the older your phone model gets, especially if it's an Android.    

• Google Pixel 8 for $10/month for 36 months (regular price is $23.34/month)
• Google Pixel 8 Pro for $15/month for 36 months (regular price is $28.89/month)

Best Black Friday Motorola deals from AT&T

Like its Google Pixel deals, AT&T is only offering discounts on its 36-month payment plan for Motorola's Razr and Razr Plus. In total, the monthly payment discounts bring the Motorola Razr's price down to $72 (from $660) and the Razr Plus to $180 (from $1,000).

• Motorola Razr for $2/month for 36 months (regular price is $18.34/month)
• Motorola Razr Plus for $5/month for 36 months (regular price is $27.78/month)
