How we read it
The day’s math and the real discount, step by step
On Super Bowl, the best price for each cell phone and the list of what really dropped are on Cell Phone Radar. The benchmark is the model's own previous check; the "was" price the store crosses out is not used.
The math compares each model's price today with its price at the previous check; the "was" price the store crosses out is not used.
How to tell if the discount is real
We compare with the previous check
Each check reads the trusted-store price of each model; the benchmark is only the previous check, with no price history kept.
We compare with the median, not the "was" price
The benchmark is the model’s own price at the previous check. The "was" price the store crosses out is not used.
A drop is today’s price against the previous check
With a price 5% or more below the previous check, the model goes into the list of drops.

Frequently asked questions
Are the Super Bowl deals real?
Cell Phone Radar compares today's price with the same model's previous check and ignores the store's "was" price.
When is Super Bowl 2026?
The 2026 date has not been announced yet. When it is, it will show up on this page.
Is it worth waiting for Super Bowl to buy a cell phone?
It depends on the model. If it is already below the previous check today, buying does not depend on the date. Cell Phone Radar's catalog has 9 models.
How does the Radar know a price really dropped?
It compares today's price of each model with its previous check, and keeps no price history; 5% or more below counts as a drop.

Where the numbers come from
No price history is kept. Today's price is compared with the previous check; 5% or more below counts as a drop, 5% or more above as a rise, and less than 1% as the same price.
The price is the one read on the date shown and changes without notice. The series shows what the price did; it does not predict the price on the next sale day or say it is time to buy.
