Tired of Your Old Phone This Black Friday Deal Saves You an Extra 5 at Zextons
At Zextons Tech Store, our goal is simple: give you premium phones at prices that finally make sense, with the safety net of warranty, returns and UK support.
If you’re reading this on a phone that heats up, lags every time you open WhatsApp, or drops from 30% to 1% the moment you step out the door, you’re not alone. Across the UK, plenty of people are still holding on to devices that are three, four, even five years old – not because they love them, but because upgrading has always felt too expensive.
This Black Friday, we want to change that.
At Zextons Tech Store, our goal is simple: give you premium phones at prices that finally make sense, with the safety net of warranty, returns and UK support. Whether you’re dreaming of a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, the latest Apple iPhone 16 range, or a privacy-focused Google Pixel with GrapheneOS, we’ve lined up deals that make it much harder to justify staying stuck with that tired device in your hand.
And on top of our already reduced prices, we’re adding a simple, extra saving during the Black Friday sale:
Get 5% off (up to £20) and enjoy exclusive offers all month long. Limited-time offer—grab yours now!
That extra 5% stacks on our own discounts, so you’re not only saving against the original “new” price – you’re also shaving more off the Zextons price at checkout.
Why This Black Friday Is the Perfect Time to Ditch Your Old Phone
Most of the year, upgrading to a flagship phone means a big financial commitment. A device like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra or Apple iPhone 16 can sit close to the £800–£1,500 mark when you look at standard launch prices. That makes it easy to say “maybe next year” and keep fighting with a slow, cracked, battery-drained phone a bit longer.
Black Friday flips that equation.
Instead of paying “brand new flagship” money, you can tap into our combination of brand-new and verified refurbished phones, often at 40–70% off the original price, and then stack an extra 5% off (up to £20) on top. That means you can move from a mid-range, ageing device to a proper flagship without blowing your budget.
If your current phone is more than two years old, you’ve probably noticed it already:
Apps take longer to open
Camera photos look soft, especially in low light
Battery life doesn’t last the day
New OS updates and features are skipping your model
This Black Friday, we want you to feel the jump in one go – better screen, better camera, faster chip, and a battery that actually keeps up — without needing to sign a long, expensive contract.
What Makes Zextons Different from Random “Cheap Phone” Sellers
You’ll see plenty of “cheap phone” ads around Black Friday. Some are great, some are… risky. At Zextons, we’ve built our offers around three pillars: price, protection and peace of mind.
First, price. We specialise in unlocked, SIM-free phones, both brand new and refurbished, with discounts that can reach up to 70% off the original price in some cases. That’s how we can offer phones like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with an original new price of £1,499.00, down to £649.99 on our site. When you add our extra 5% Black Friday discount (capped at £20), your price drops again at checkout.
Second, protection. Our refurbished phones go through multi-point testing, including diagnostics, battery checks, lock detection and authenticity verification. Devices like the Google Pixel 7a GrapheneOS – Unlocked and Google Pixel 8 GrapheneOS – Unlocked come with 18-month warranty, free next-day delivery, 30-day returns, a protection bundle and a charging cable included. Brand-new Apple models like the iPhone 16 and 16e ship factory fresh, unlocked and covered by a 12-month warranty, with free fast delivery across the UK.
Finally, peace of mind. Every order plants a tree through our climate partner, and every customer is backed by UK-based support, clear returns, and hundreds of positive reviews. You’re not taking a gamble on an unknown marketplace seller – you’re buying from a UK store whose entire business is built on making premium phones more affordable and more sustainable.
Our Hero Black Friday Deal: Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra – From £1,499 to £649.99 (Then Less)
Let’s start with the big one. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the phone that usually turns heads — a true flagship with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, 120Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage and a 200MP main camera backed by ultra-wide and 10x periscope telephoto lenses. It’s built for people who want everything: gaming, content creation, productivity, and next-level photos.
On our brand-new, unlocked listing, the original “new” price is £1,499.00, and the Zextons price is £649.99. That’s a massive saving already. When you stack your extra 5% Black Friday discount (up to £20) on that, you bring the effective price down again – taking your checkout total to roughly £629.99 for one of the most powerful Android phones on the market.
In real life, that means going from stuttering scrolls to butter-smooth 120Hz animations. It means switching from grainy low-light shots to crisp night photos with a 200MP camera and serious zoom. It means no more battery anxiety thanks to a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging and 15W wireless charging, plus Wireless PowerShare if you want to top up your earbuds on the back of your phone.
If you want a headline deal for your Black Friday campaign, this is it: “Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra – £1,499 new → £649.99 at Zextons, plus an extra 5% off this Black Friday.”
Apple Power: iPhone 16 – Flagship AI and Camera from £619.99
If you’re in the Apple camp, the iPhone 16 is the obvious Black Friday upgrade target. It brings a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, Apple’s latest A18 chip, and Apple Intelligence (AI) for smarter on-device features that stay private. The camera system is a big step up from older generations, with a 48MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP TrueDepth selfie camera built for sharp photos and stable 4K video.
On Zextons, the iPhone 16 128GB – Unlocked, Brand New is listed with a typical “new” price of £799.00, reduced to £619.99 as our selling price. With your Black Friday 5% off (up to £20), that drops to around £599.99 at checkout.
You’re getting the latest Apple design, all-day battery life, and full support for MagSafe, 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and the newest version of iOS with Apple Intelligence baked in. For someone coming from an iPhone 11, 12 or 13, the difference in speed, battery and camera quality will be immediately obvious.
Because the phone is unlocked and SIM-free, you can pair it with any UK network or a cheap SIM-only plan instead of locking yourself into a long, expensive contract. That’s a key angle for your Black Friday copy: flagship iPhone performance, but with the freedom to choose the cheapest monthly plan you can find.
iPhone 16e – The Sweet Spot Under £500 Before Discount
Not everyone wants to spend over £600 on a phone, even with Black Friday savings. That’s where the Apple iPhone 16e comes in.
The iPhone 16e – Unlocked, Brand New 128GB balances performance, features and price. It still gives you a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, the A18 Bionic chip, a 48MP Fusion camera, 5G support and MagSafe wireless charging, all in a compact design. On our brand-new listing, the 128GB model across Black and White colours sits at £479.99.
During Black Friday, your extra 5% off (up to £20) takes that down again, bringing the effective price close to £459.99. For a brand-new 2025 iPhone with the latest chip, modern camera, and full Apple ecosystem support, that’s a very strong deal.
You can position the iPhone 16e in your article as the perfect upgrade for someone still using older entry-level models or previous-gen mid-tier iPhones. It’s cheaper than the full iPhone 16 but still feels absolutely current, with plenty of power for TikTok, gaming, photography, and multi-app use.
If you want to cover the refurbished angle as well, our refurbished iPhone 16e – Unlocked 128GB, Excellent sits at £429.99 with an original reference price of £599.00, and it includes 18-month warranty, 30-day returns, free next-day delivery, and a protection bundle. For budget-sensitive shoppers, that’s an even more aggressive way to stretch their money.
Privacy Lovers’ Pick: Google Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS – From £319.99
Some customers don’t just want a good phone – they want control over their data. That’s why we put so much effort into our GrapheneOS range, and the star of that line-up is the Google Pixel 8 Graphene OS – Unlocked, Refurbished.
This phone combines flagship-level hardware – a 6.2-inch Actua OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, Google Tensor G3, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage and a 50MP + 12MP dual camera system – with GrapheneOS, a hardened, de-Googled Android fork that strips out Google tracking and telemetry. It’s built for people who want security, privacy and performance in one device.
On our product page, you’ll see the original new price listed at £699.00, with our Zextons refurbished price at £319.99 for Excellent A+ condition, unlocked, dual-SIM (physical + eSIM). You still get 18-month warranty, free next-day delivery, 30-day returns, a protection bundle, a charging cable, and our usual testing and verification process.
With your Black Friday 5% discount, that £319.99 price drops to roughly £303.99 at checkout, which is outstanding for a privacy-focused flagship-grade device. In your article, you can speak directly to privacy-conscious readers – developers, journalists, activists, or anyone who simply doesn’t want their phone constantly phoning home.
Best Under-£300 Deal: Google Pixel 7a GrapheneOS – £279.99 Before Discount
If someone is trying to keep their Black Friday spend under £300, the Google Pixel 7a GrapheneOS – Unlocked Refurbished is one of the strongest options on our site.
The Pixel 7a 128GB gives you a 6.1-inch OLED display, a 64MP main camera, and Google’s Tensor G2 chip, all wrapped in a compact body that’s comfortable to use one-handed. On top of that, we preload GrapheneOS, turning it into a secure, privacy-first Android experience with hardened security, app sandboxing, and reduced bloat.
On Zextons, the Pixel 7a GrapheneOS – Unlocked is shown with a typical “new” price of £449.00, reduced to £279.99 for Excellent A+ refurbished stock. You still get 18-month warranty, free next-day delivery, 30-day returns, and a free protection bundle and charging cable in the box, plus at least 85% battery health.
With the Black Friday 5% discount stacked on top, that £279.99 price drops again to around £265.99, keeping this phone firmly in the “under £300” category even after you add accessories or a SIM plan.
In your copy, you can describe it as the smart Black Friday choice for students, young professionals and anyone who wants premium camera performance and privacy without going near £500.
New vs Refurbished: Which Should Your Reader Choose?
Because we sell both brand-new and refurbished phones, a big part of our job is helping customers understand which route is right for them.
If someone wants that “fresh out of the box” feeling, zero previous use, and the latest yearly release, then our brand-new devices – like the iPhone 16, iPhone 16e and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra New – are the best fit. They come factory-sealed, unlocked, and covered by a 12-month warranty, with free next-day delivery across the UK.
If someone is more focused on maximum value, our Verified Refurbished phones are hard to beat. Models like the Pixel 7a GrapheneOS, Pixel 8 GrapheneOS, and refurbished iPhone 16e go through detailed checks – lock detection, diagnostics, battery health tests, authenticity checks and secure data wipe – before they’re listed on our site. We guarantee at least 85% battery health, which is higher than the 80% baseline many refurbishers use, and we back them with up to 18-month warranty plus 30-day returns.
