Best Labor Day phone deals 2025: Save up to $300 on Samsung, Google, and more

How did we choose these phone deals?

ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. 

I test phones for a living and the process of making our phone selections includes real-world testing as well as researching about the phones for weeks, consulting with colleagues, industry experts, and analysts who also have hands-on experience with the smartphones, and then selecting the best from all of the available choices. 

When will these deals expire? 

Amazon deals can expire at anytime. Select Prime-exclusive offers, limited time offers or lightning deals are time contingent, meaning you’ll want to take advantage of them when you see them. Other deals, like standard discounts and drops may remain for longer periods. 

However, deals are subject to sell out or expire at any time, though ZDNET remains committed to finding, sharing, and updating the best product deals for you to score the best savings. Our team of experts regularly checks in on the deals we share to ensure they are still live and obtainable. We’re sorry if you’ve missed out on a deal, but don’t fret — we’re constantly finding new chances to save and sharing them with you at ZDNET.com. 

Are there any Labor Day offers on iPhone?

I wouldn’t recommend buying an iPhone right now because the iPhone 17 series is due in a couple of weeks. If you want the best iPhone, it is worth waiting for the next Apple iPhone launch. Even if you can get $100 for Labor Day on a new iPhone 16, I would recommend waiting for the iPhone 17 series.
