This week's best phone deals include Editors' Choice prices on the newly-released Galaxy S10 5G, as well as two Google Pixel models.

Samsung Galaxy S10 5G with $200 Mastercard Gift Card
Store: Verizon Wireless
Discount: Up to $450 off
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $650 The S10 5G is finally shipping, and while the hands-on previews have been positive even without much insight into 5G speeds, the price tag is as beefy as you'd expect. Luckily, if you click the "Special Offer" details on the top right of the product page, you'll find instructions for getting up to $450 off with a trade in and to snag a $200 Mastercard gift card. Combined, that halves the phone's list price – a definite Editors' Choice deal.

Its features include a Qualcomm Snapdragon SM8150 2.8GHz octa-core processor, 6.7" Quad HD+ Dynamic AMOLED touchscreen LCD, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, 12-megapixel rear camera, 10-megapixel front camera, 802.11ax wireless, and Android 9.0 (Pie).

The only refurbished iPhones I would even think of purchasing would be from the Apple refurbished store. The price will be higher but Apple puts a new case body on the phone and a new battery after thoroughly making sure everything is up to par. And warrants it for one year.
