A smartphone may last from a few days to a couple of years, but that’s it. A phone’s volatile lifespan depends on factors like how well it keeps up with updates, or sometimes, even how quickly or often we drop it on the floor. Also, it’s an electronic device, so we will need a new one sooner or later. So, here are some of the best smartphone deals to check out if you’re planning to change your phone in 2021.

Apple iPhone 12
The Apple iPhone 12 is one of the best smartphones out there. It is available in six colors and comes with three different storage capacities. The smartphone is a perfect fit if you’re looking for a device in between the Mini and Pro versions. While the prices for a SIM-free iPhone 12 start at $829, Verizon and AT&T are currently offering up to $700 credit after trade-in.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
We recommend the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra if you appreciate a premium Android smartphone. The model is equipped with a 108MP sensor, 6.8-inch AMOLED display, and a whopping 12/16GB RAM. At a price tag of $1249.99 on Samsung’s website, this smartphone deal comes with an extra $50 toward accessories without a trade-in and 4 free months of YouTube Premium. Combined, that’s $97.96 worth of savings.

OnePlus 9 5G
This smartphone is not as powerful as the OnePlus 9 Pro, but it offers killer specs for its price. The Snapdragon™ 888 processor will provide an exceptional gaming experience, and its 65W wired charging will juice up the smartphone pretty quickly. You can purchase this device from the OnePlus website at $729 or opt for $30/mo. at 0% APR financing for up to 24 months.

Google Pixel 4a
The Google Pixel 4a is one of the best smartphones from Google you can buy in 2021, not just for its performance but also because of its pure Android experience. This smartphone is an ideal pick for a stock Android enthusiast on a budget. It comes in Just Black and Barely Blue colors with a 128GB storage configuration. As of June 2021, the unlocked smartphone is available on BestBuy for $299 if activated on a carrier immediately, and that’s one of the best smartphone deals you can get.

Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro
The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are powered by Google Tensor, the company’s first in-house chipset, which boosts performance significantly. The Pixel 6 range also gets an upgrade in memory and battery power, with the 6 Pro boasting 12GB of RAM and a 5000mAh battery. The Pixel 6 is estimated to cost around $599, while the 6 Pro can be purchased for $899.
