Top Deals of the Week: July 7-14

It’s officially summertime! The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and adventures are calling.

You’ve got a bunch of plans to make (socially distanced plans, of course), a million photos to take, and that janky old Galaxy 8 you’ve been using just isn’t going to cut in anymore. So check out these great deals on brand new iPhones, Galaxies, and other devices from Sprint or Verizon. You can even get a free iPhone SE right now, which is one of the year’s best smartphones.

We’re also highlighting a great deal on an unlimited data phone plan from Visible Wireless (so that you don’t have to worry about blowing through your unlimited data while you’re streaming Schitt’s Creek).

Read on for all the deals, and stay safe out there, friends.

Phone Plan Deals

Getting a one-time discount on a device is awesome. But getting a discount on your phone bill every month is even awesomer.

New customers get their first month for $25 instead of $40 on Visible

There’s no denying that Visible Wireless offers the most bang for your buck when it comes to getting a lot of high-speed data. But you’ll get an even better deal for your first month if you sign up for the company’s unlimited plan right now. Move over, Tracfone, there’s a new sheriff in prepaid-mobile-service town.

Galaxy Phone Deals

If you prefer the Android operating system—or just want a bigger screen display—then the Samsung Galaxy is the phone lineup for you. Here’s a look at all of the best deals from top providers on Galaxy phones. 

Galaxy S20 Sprint deals

Grab a Samsung Galaxy S20 5G for just $15 a month with Sprint

The Samsung Galaxy S20 5G is one of the best Android smartphones out there. It’s got everything you could ever want, from a best-in-industry camera to a super-fast processor. You really can’t go wrong with this phone, and now it’s just $15 a month when you sign up for a new line with Sprint on an 18-month lease and trade in your old phone.

Galaxy S20 Verizon deals

Verizon has dropped its deals on the Samsung Galaxy S20+ and the S20 Ultra. Here are the details:

Get $150 credit on the Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G plus up to $1000 off a second device with Verizon

Okay, so you have to do two things to qualify for this killer deal:

• Trade-in your old device
• Start a new unlimited plan with Verizon (or add a line to an existing plan)

When you do this you’ll get the $150 off and then another $150 in the form of a prepaid Mastercard. When you buy a second device on top of your S20 you’ll get a $1000 promo credit! That’s basically a BOGO deal.

Galaxy S10 Deals

You can have a Samsung Galaxy S10 from Verizon for just $10 a month from Verizon

Get a Samsung Galaxy S10+ for FREE from Sprint!

Galaxy Note10+ Deals

Galaxy Note10+ for $20 a month (price drop) from Sprint

We’re finally starting to see some good Galaxy Note10+ deals. We’ve been waiting for this, and perhaps you have too. You can get a Galaxy Note10+ for $20 a month with approved credit, a new line of service, and an 18-month lease.

Deals on Other Phones

OnePlus deals

Get up to $550 off when you trade-in for a new OnePlus 8 5G phone from Verizon!

Ready to make the leap to 5G? Why not make the leap with the brand new OnePlus 8? If you haven’t heard of OnePlus, it’s probably because the company has only recently begun to make major inroads in the US market. But these phones can give iPhones and Galaxies a run for their money, and cost a good deal less.

This deal is only good when you’re signing up or porting in to select Verizon unlimited data plans.

Google Pixel Deals

Google Pixel 4 for $8/mo. with Sprint

You can get the 64GB Google Pixel 4 for $8 a month if you sign up an 18-month lease for the device, along with a new Sprint line or if your current Sprint line is eligible for an upgrade. You also need to put $25 down to get the deal. I guess it’s collateral of some kind. Try to not cancel your wireless service early, or you’ll need to pay the balance on your Pixel 4.

• Google Pixel 4 (64GB) $8/mo. after $25 down and $25.30/mo. credit, applied within two bills.
• With approved credit, 18-month lease & new line of service or eligible upgrade.
• If you cancel wireless service, credits may stop & remaining balance on required finance agreement may be due.

Get up to $500 off and $200 prepaid Mastercard with a trade in for a Google Pixel 4 from Verizon

You can get the brand new Google Pixel 4 for a pretty sweet deal on Verizon. You trade in your old phone, and you can get up to $500 off a Google Pixel 4, plus the $200 gift card really helps.

LG Phone Deals

Get up to $500 off an LG G8 ThinQ with trade in from Verizon

The LG G8 ThinQ may not be many people’s radar, but you can’t argue with getting $500 off of anything. You can trade in your old phone to Verizon and get a huge discount on a new LG device.

Lease the LG Stylo 6 for just $5 a month

You can lease a new LG Stylo 6 for $5 a month with a $25 down payment. The lease lasts for 18 months. Word to the wise, make sure you don’t cancel the lease until it’s finished, or you might incur some annoying fees.

Motorola Phone Deals

Receive up to $500 in trade-in credit and a $200 Mastercard when you pre-order the new Motorola razr from Verizon.

Remember that old Motorola flip phone you had in high school? Well, the razr is back, and it’s looking to score more than just nostalgia points. Seriously, if you haven’t heard about this phone, check it out. It’s either going to revolutionize the smart phone industry, or land with a thud. We’re betting on the former.

But at more than $1,500, this phone is more expensive than most iPhones. So you might want to take advantage of this early-bird deal that Verizon is offering when you sign up for a new, unlimited plan.

Get a Motorola Moto Z4 for $5 a month from Verizon when you sign up for a new line with Verizon

If you’re just looking for a cheap, simple, but functional device, then the Moto Z4 is a great option. It might not have all of the bells of whistles of an iPhone or Galaxy device, but it will get the job done. Plus, you can get one for just $5 a month when you sign up for monthly payments on a new line with Verizon.
