Black Friday phone deals in Australia 2025: dates, deals and what to expect

We said back in July that in just a blink of an eye it would be November againWell, lo and behold, that time has come. Black Friday weekend is just a few short weeks away, running from the days before Black Friday on November 28 and ending with Cyber Monday on December 1.

Black Friday is the biggest sales event of the year by far – yes, ahead of Prime Day and Boxing Day – making it the best time to shop. It's the best time to shop, not just because it is set to offer the top discounts of 2025, but also because it's perfectly timed for wrapping up your Christmas shopping with a month to spare.

Black Friday will provide a wealth of deals on all the best phones, including those from big-time manufacturers like Samsung, Google and even Apple – on top of big sales on the best tablets, TVs, coffee machines.

And, while we expect deals on iPhones, it is likely that only older models will see significant discounts, with the biggest savings landing on the best Android phones. That said, the top cheap phones are set to become even more affordable if you're after a real bargain.

We're still a ways off from the big day, but as soon as Black Friday phone deals start to drop, we'll have all the best discounts right here. We'll separate the wheat from the chaff, so all you have to do is pick your favourite – using price tracking tools, the knowledge of our experts and our hands-on experience with these devices to make sure we're recommending the best phone deals, not just listing every saving we come across.

In the meantime, you can find everything you need to know about phone sales this November bel. Make sure to bookmark this guide as I'll be continuously updating it with all the latest news and offers.
