When you think of Black Friday phone deals, you probably don’t immediately think of Xiaomi. Despite being the world’s third-largest phone brand by market share, the Chinese tech titan doesn’t have the same foothold in the UK as Apple or Samsung.
However, while Xiaomi doesn’t always feature prominently in our Black Friday phones coverage, I think it’s worth keeping this oversized underdog in mind if you’re looking to buy a new phone this shopping season.
That’s because Xiaomi offers some of the wildest ‘free gift’ bundles I’ve ever seen. Specifically, you can currently get the Xiaomi TV F 43 2026, a 43-inch television, for no extra cost when you buy the new 15T mid-range handset from Xiaomi directly.
It’s quite typical for phone makers to offer a free gift when buying devices from them directly, but this normally comes in the form of a high-powered charger, a case, a pair of earbuds – i.e, some kind of phone accessory or compatible device. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a brand straight-up giving away TVs.
And while I wouldn’t expect to see the TV F 43 2026 feature on our lists of the best TVs any time soon, it’s still a really nice bit of kit – this is a 4K smart TV with HDR support, which normally retails for £259.
Considering the Xiaomi 15T starts at £549, that’s a lot of added value. And to sweeten the deal even further, you’ll also get a Xiaomi 120W Hypercharge Combo charger to keep your devices topped up (at that high a power rating, you’ll have no issue charging a phone, tablet, or even a laptop).
If I were in the market for a new phone, I think this would be high on my list of options – I’m still testing the Xiaomi 15T for our review, but with a 6.83-inch display, triple camera system, and MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset, it’s already proven itself to be a worthy mid-range model. Did I mention it comes with a TV?
This unique and welcome offer is a perk of Xiaomi’s broad device portfolio. As well as a full lineup of Xiaomi-branded phones and tablets, the company also makes Redmi and Poco devices, smart watches, cars, washing machines – the list goes on. I’d recommend keeping an eye on our phone deals coverage, as well as Xiaomi’s UK site, for more bundles over the Black Friday season.
