Getting a little tired of your phone? Thinking about trading up for something a little slicker? The most recent generation of mobiles has seen some pretty cool advancements, from Apple's baller new cameras to the ultra-slick Samsung dual-screen foldables. We're in a period of really interesting innovation and creativity. Unfortunately, that also means high prices. If you don't feel like dropping four figures, though, AT&T has some pretty compelling deals over Labor Day weekend. Some of the most popular phones on the market are on offer at deep discounts—in some cases, as low as zero dollars.
All of the deals below are contingent on trade-ins and new wireless service. They manifest as bill credits that counterbalance the monthly payment for the phone. Trade-in devices have to meet eligibility requirements; AT&T wants trade-in value of $240 or more for $1,000 in bill credits, $130 to $239 for $700 in bill credits, and anything lower gets you $350.

We love Apple's highest-end smartphone. Even though the price is high, this is a portable computer and media-creation machine that dazzles with performance and style. In our Editors' Choice review, we rave about the iPhone 14 Pro Max's gorgeous, always-on display, powerful processor, and extremely long battery life. The introduction of Photonic Engine to the phone's image-processing stack makes your pictures brighter and more detailed, and gives them more accurate color, especially in low-light situations.

Google Pixel 7 Pro
Instagram mavens who are loyal to the Android ecosystem rave about the Google Pixel 7 Pro, which we reviewed as having "stellar photography powers and best-in-class software." This phone is the top of the Pixel line, with a gorgeous 6.7-inch OLED panel boasting a resolution of 3,210 by 1,440 pixels. It supports 24-bit color and HDR, making it one of the best mobile displays you can find. 12GB of RAM and a 5nm Tensor G2 system-on-a-chip lets the Pixel 7 Pro run your choice of the App Store with ease, and no stuttering while multitasking.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5
We're in love with Samsung's two new foldables: We called the Fold5 "hands down the best large foldable you can get in the US at the moment" in our review, where we also gave it an Editors' Choice award. This is the larger of the two; it has a form factor similar to that of a standard phone but opens up to reveal a 7.6-inch tablet screen. The new hinge design lets the phone lay completely flat when open, and at just 8.92 ounces, it's easy to take anywhere. Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 purrs thanks to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip and 12GB of RAM.
