Pat’s deals of the week
In this weekly column, resident deal expert Patrick Farmer rounds up the five best phone deals of the week, from sweet trade-in opportunities to record-smashing discounts.
It’s going to be an exciting fall season for tech-focused bargain hunters. Apple just dropped an entire lineup of smartphones, there’s a new Pixel apparently just around the corner, and Amazon has just confirmed the second Prime Day shopping event of the year.
This new sale, which has been given the oddly specific name “Prime Big Deal Days” is set to kick off on October 10th and will run for 48 hours. In preparation for the sale event, Amazon is apparently getting an early start by discounting a bunch of our favorite Android phones, from innovative foldables to budget bricks and everything in between. And as you might expect, other retailers are following suit with great deals of their own.
Suffice to say, there are so many discounts nowadays that I’m launching this weekly series to keep up with all of the best phone deals as they’re announced. For nearly a decade, I’ve spent my workdays scouring the web in search of the best deals, comparing prices, and weighing the risks and benefits of each offer. Now I’m using this experience to share the five best phone deals of the week below. Didn’t find anything today? Check back next week for a fresh batch of discounts.
