We may earn a commission when you click links to retailers and purchase goods. More info.

Like we do most years, we are once again putting together a decent Black Friday round-up of the deals that might interest the good people here at Droid Life. This isn’t going to be the ultimate in Black Friday guides, because well, there are dedicated Black Friday websites that do that better than we could ever think of doing. This one, like in the past, is focused on the Android stuff and the accessories that go with the Android stuff and the occasional other electronic that may or may not go with Android stuff, but still might be of value thanks to a deep discount.

As the we close in on November 27, Black Friday day, we’ll continue to update this post. Feel free to check back! 


Amazon

Amazon is finna go H.A.M. on Black Friday, because they want you on their site buying all of the things that big box stores will try and get you to stand in line for. That means deals for days, not just the day after Thanksgiving. In fact, they are kicking off 8 days of holiday deals starting November 20 and pushing them through Black Friday and beyond.

They’ll have TVs on sale, along with their Fire products, accessories (SD cards and such), fitness trackers, Samsung’s tablets, and more.

As we get closer to Black Friday, we’ll update this section with direct links as they pop up.

They have a dedicated Black Friday Hub, which you should visit regularly if you are interested in doing your shopping from Amazon.

HTC

HTC has a bunch of deals on everything from their new One A9 to last year’s Nexus 9, the One M9, and all of their accessories. The One A9 deal is somewhat enticing, assuming you want to trade in your current phone. Here are the details.

  • HTC One A9 (potentially free):  HTC will give you $499 rebate if you trade in an iPhone 6, 6S, 6 Plus, or 6S Plus. That $499 would then cover the cost of a brand new One A9, so you are technically getting it for free. If you trade in a Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge, they’ll give you $200. Trade in an LG G3 or G4 and you’ll get $100. Deal runs from November 26 to December 2. [Deal Link]
  • Nexus 9 is 40% off all models. Deal runs from November 26-27. [Deal Link]

The big push Verizon is making is for this $500 switch credit/discount when you trade in your smartphone from another carrier and join their network. With this deal, they are slashing $200 off of smartphones, then giving you up to $300 for your trade-in. If you do that and qualify for the full $500 off, you can get into phones for these prices:

  • Samsung Galaxy S6 for $3.16/month

  • DROID Turbo 2 for $5.16/month

If you don’t want any of those phones, Verizon is also doing $100 off other phones, plus the $300 trade-in credit. That would get you into these phones for the these prices:

  • Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ for $15.33/month
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 5 for $12.33/month
  • LG V10 for $11.33/month
