One-day blowout sale events are all well and good, but Mint Mobile’s deals that bundle new smartphones with Unlimited plan access to America’s biggest 5G network run through the entire holiday season, and they’re amazingly affordable. Mint Mobile’s just dropped hot offers on four great smartphones, including one that gets you a brand-new Samsung Galaxy A16 practically for free just $15 with a 12-month Unlimited plan. Spectacular deals on the Samsung Galaxy A36, Apple iPhone 16e, and Google Pixel 9 are also part of this holiday drop from Mint Mobile, and while they’re not blink-and-miss-it one-day deals, they’re only good as long as supplies last. Regardless of which device you choose, your monthly price for 12 months of Mint Mobile’s Unlimited plan is just $15 per month, so you can ditch the fat monthly cell service and monthly installment plans of Big Mobile at the same time. Samsung Galaxy A16 $15 with 12-month Unlimited Plan We’ve looked high and low for another cellular deal that turns a brand-new Samsung device into an essentially free throw-in, and we’re not seeing any. The Galaxy A16 was Samsung’s flagship smartphone not all that long ago (time flies fast when it comes to smartphone drops), and it’s still more than enough phone for anyone seeking Samsung’s top-line performance without a top-line price tag. The Galaxy A16’s 128GB of built-in storage is easily upgraded all the way to 1. 5TB with a microSD card, and the 6. 7-inch FHD + Super AMOLED Infinity-U display is ultra-competitive with any smartphone on the market. Same goes for the A16’s 13MP front camera and 50MP/5MP/2MP rear camera. The Galaxy A16 would be a huge upgrade for a teen, senior, or someone who’s still reluctant to retire an older device. At just $15 with a 12-month Unlimited plan, you could easily buy more than one Galaxy A16, which is why Mint Mobile’s wisely capped this offer at four devices per customer.

Normally it takes a trade-in or multi-year contract to snag an A36 at this price, but it’s just a 12-month Unlimited plan away at Mint Mobile. The Galaxy A36 is a 5G powerhouse that’s a perfect match for Mint Mobile’s network, which is the largest in the country. The display is a stunner, 6. 7 inches of FHD+ Super AMOLED with a crisp 120Hz refresh rate that comes in handy when you put that unlimited 5G data to use with some binge-streaming. The robust 5, 000mAh battery is compatible with 45W Super Fast Charging 2. 0, and the typically great Samsung front and rear cameras are a step up from those on the A16. There’s also a 4-device limit on this offer, understandably, and if there’s one offer on the board where the supplies are likely to vanish quickly, it’s this one. Claim your $150 Galaxy A36 smartphone before they’re all gone.

Their generations of iPhones tend to grow very incrementally, so a model from the 16 Series is barely a half-step behind the 17. Which makes this $200-off deal on the iPhone 16e a true standout, especially compared to the prices on the 17 Series devices. The “e” in 16e doesn’t officially stand for anything, but if we had to choose it would be “essential,” because the 16e comes with the powerful battery life, strong links to the larger Apple ecosystem, brilliant 6. 1-inch display, and the rest of Apple’s headline features. The A18 processor chip is a reliable speed demon, and upgrading from the built-in iOS 18 to Apple’s brand-new iOS 26 is a fast and easy download that makes the iPhone 16e an even more impressive deal at just $399 with a 12-month Mint Mobile Unlimited plan.

The biggest up-front savings of these 4 great smartphone offers brings you the Tensor-powered Pixel 9 that delivers across the board great cameras, sharp screen, and seamless access to the massive Google ecosystem, all with Google’s famously clean and easy interface. It’s almost unheard of to see the Pixel 9 being offered in deals that don’t lock you into a monthly installment plan, but the $199 price tag is a one-and-done purchase. Combine that with the $15 monthly bill for Mint Mobile’s Unlimited plan and this deal is a foolproof way to slash your cellular bill down to virtually nil. See Google Pixel 9 at Mint Mobile Mint Mobile Unlimited plan When Mint Mobile says this top-tier plan is Unlimited, they’re not stretching it at all. Talk, text, and data are all-you-can-use for the $15 monthly fee, and the plan is available in the 12-month offers attached to these smartphone deals, but also in increments of 3 and 6 months. Those shorter deals are also $15 per month, and they’re attractive offers if you’re not in the market for a new smartphone brings yours along and keep both the device and your phone number when you switch to Mint Mobile’s $15 monthly Unlimited plan. Regardless of which Unlimited plan deal you choose, you get: Premium wireless on the T-Mobile nationwide network. No contracts, no hidden fees. Free Mobile Hotspot with Unlimited plans. Free international calling to Mexico and Canada. Easy eSIM activation or free SIM shipping. Mint Mobile’s top-level customer care with live humans and wait times typically under 2-3 minutes. Just note that these device deals run now through December 31 and are available only while supplies last. With discounts this front-loaded and purchase limits of four per customer, inventory won’t last long.
