Mint Mobile Will Give You $500 Off Select New Phones When You Sign Up for a Year

The limited-time offer applies to the latest phones from Google and Samsung, but you must be a new customer who signs up for 12 months of the unlimited plan.

Mint Mobile Will Give You $500 Off Select New Phones When You Sign Up for a Year

Mint Mobile is currently offering a $500 discount on select new phones when signing up for a year-long unlimited plan. However, it's important to note that Apple iPhones are not included in this promotion. Many of the phones included in the deal are highly-rated and even appear on recommended lists.

For those looking to trade in an eligible unlocked phone, such as the iPhone 16 or higher, Galaxy S25 or higher, Z Flip7 or Fold7 or higher, or Pixel 10 or higher, Mint will offer an additional credit of $400 or more. This makes the deal even more enticing for those looking to upgrade their devices.

While Mint rarely offers deals or coupons, their plans are priced lower than traditional carriers, making this a more economical option for purchasing a new phone. As for the specific models, the Google Pixel 11 is now available for $399 when bundled with the 12-month Mint unlimited plan, making it cheaper than the entry-level Pixel 10a.

The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL are also discounted to $594 and $794, respectively, while the Google Pixel 10a, Mint's favorite Android phone, is not included in this promotion. Samsung fans will be pleased to know that the flagship Galaxy S26 series, as well as the Z Fold8 and Z Flip7, are all on Mint's discounted phones list.

The Galaxy S26 is offered for $500 (regularly $1,000), the S26+ for $700 (regularly $1,200), and the S26 Ultra for $900 (regularly $1,400). This represents a significant discount, especially when considering the additional cost of the year-long unlimited service for $180. Even with the Ultra's advanced features, such as its privacy screen, it remains a great deal.

For those interested in foldable phones, the Z Fold8 is available for $1,700, which is a significant discount from the regular price of $1,900. While not a substantial discount, it is still a great price for a foldable phone, especially given its lightweight design and impressive performance and battery life. However, it's worth noting that the Z Fold8 lacks a telephoto lens, which may be a downside for some users.
