From the newly-released Pixel 9a to the iPhone 16, T-Mobile is slashing the price of multiple smartphones featured in our best phones guide. While cell phone deals are generally easy to find, T-Mobile's sale is noteworthy because it's one of the most affordable and best phone carriers around.
As part of the sale, you can get the new Google Pixel 9a for free with a new line. Alternatively, you can get up to $500 off the Pixel 9a with trade-in. Phones that qualify for the max $500 trade-in credit include the Galaxy S10, iPhone 11 Pro, Moto Razr+ 2023, and more. Below, I've rounded up the top T-Mobile smartphone deals I'd get right now.
