We’re officially in the pre-Black Friday phone release rush.
The Nokia 3.4, the Google Pixel 4A, and the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition have all seen announcements, and it’s only a matter of time before the iPhone 12 is released upon the world.
There’s plenty of upcoming phones still to come in 2020 – and Carphone Warehouse knows how to do a good deal.
Whether it’s a free console, a subscription to a streaming service, or just a good discount, the mobile phone retailer knows how to provide value for money during the sales.
The retailer tends to wait until the big day to reveal its deals, but looking at last year’s offers we can get a fair idea of what to expect.
Best Carphone Warehouse deals from last year
Carphone Warehouse went big with their deals last year – including a free Nintendo Switch:
- Carphone Warehouse offered a free Nintendo Switch Lite with selected phone contracts, including iPhone and Android.
- They also offered a year’s Apple TV+ subscription with certain Apple devices.
- The latest Apple models came with £50 off on a new SIM-free iPhone 11 Pro Max.
- The Apple iPhone 11 was available on Vodafone £33 for 24 months with a £99 upfront cost and 60GB data.
- One Samsung Galaxy S10 Vodafone deal came with 60GB for £37 monthly. The best part? No upfront payment.
- A SIM free Samsung Galaxy S10e went for £499.99 instead of £669.99.

What to expect from Carphone Warehouse on Black Friday
Expect to see similar deals from last year, except on the newest generation of mobiles – such as the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, the Google Pixel 4a, and the upcoming iPhone 12.
5G truly hit the mainstream this year with widespread support from all the new releases, so look out for 5G capable phones and sims for ultra-fast data speeds.
With the release of the new budget iPhone SE earlier this year, expect to see some uncommonly low prices for a newly released iPhone.
If you’d rather not shell out for a brand new model, then there will still be plenty of deals available – last year there were discounts on phones going back as far as the iPhone 8.
Carphone Warehouse currently has a flash online sale – so get in quick for some mobile bargains!

What other brands are taking part in Black Friday?
Amazon
Amazon was one of the earliest adopters of Black Friday in the UK and always start their lightning deals long before the big day – expect deals on all sorts of products, specifically Amazon devices such as Kindles, Fire Tablets, Fire Sticks, and Alexas. Look out for discounts on their subscription services too, including Prime Membership, Audible, Amazon Music, and Kindle Unlimited.
Apple
Apple AirPods were one of the hottest items going last Black Friday – expect even better prices this time around, as well as deals on the new iPad 8 and iPad Air 4. The already budget Apple Watch SE will likely see some of the lowest prices going for a newly released smartwatch, while the Apple Watch Series 6 will see its first dramatic discount following its launch.
Argos
Argos routinely has great deals on tech, particularly games consoles and mobiles. They also offer Crazy Code sales on big toy brands in the weeks leading up to and following Black Friday, with great deals on brands such as LEGO, Play-doh, and Frozen for ten weeks. As a sweet bonus, Sainsbury’s shoppers can use Nectar points there too.
Currys PC World
Currys PC World usually has up to 50 per cent off thousands of products, including TVs, game consoles, laptops, mobiles, appliances, and more. Expect a big focus on TVs and consoles, and better yet all products are covered by their Price Match Promise.
Dell
Dell is always great at launching deals early – but that doesn’t mean there won’t be great Dell Black Friday deals on the day itself. Expect deals on laptops, desktops, monitors, 2-in-1 laptops, and more.
EE
EE gave out free Nintendo Switches in some bundles last year, and may well give away a similar product this year. They are also releasing several bundles with BT Sport and Apple Music subscriptions. Either way, expect deals on the iPhone 12, iPhone SE, Samsung Galaxy S20, and more.
GAME
It’s a big Black Friday for GAME, who will be riding the wave of the PS5 and Xbox Series X release (provided there are any left in stock). Still, expect great deals on upcoming games, accessories, and rock-bottom prices for the PS4 and Xbox One X.
John Lewis
John Lewis always has some big tech deals, with the big draw being their TVs which come with a five-year guarantee. John Lewis also has a Never Knowingly Undersold policy in which they constantly check competitor’s prices – meaning they’ll also have the best prices around for accessories and home appliances also.
LEGO
One of the biggest toy brands in the world, LEGO has been a top sales item for generations. Expect LEGO Black Friday deals from the LEGO store, as well as Amazon, Argos, Smyths, and John Lewis.
Samsung
Samsung has already had a big year with the release of the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note20 series. With the upcoming release of the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, these devices will likely see great Samsung Black Friday deals at the Samsung store, Carphone Warehouse, EE, and more.
Sky
Sky always have generous deals on their NOW TV and Sky TV deals, and you may also be able to get a broadband deal bundled in also. Perfect for watching The Third Day and Succession on the cheap.
Smyths
The toy retailer will likely be a mandatory visit for parents, with great savings on key brands such as Lego and Frozen. However, there will also likely be some great Smyths Black Friday deals on gaming, possibly including the upcoming Xbox Series X and PS5.
Very
Online retailer Very will likely have deals on absolutely everything, from clothing to tech to furniture. They also have a great ‘buy now, pay later’ option, meaning you can spread costly purchases over the span of a year.
