Cell phones are getting increasingly more expensive. With the price of some of the hottest smartphones reaching well over $1,000, owning the latest and greatest phone isn’t exactly affordable. But there is one time of the year you can save and potentially get a new smartphone for much, much less.
On Black Friday, many retailers and wireless companies mark down cell phones. As the biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday can be the day when you’re able to find incredible low prices. And you might be able to score a great discount on the smartphone you’ve been waiting to buy.
