    You can check deals on website
    https://fizz.ca/en/phones
    Any phone with the purple sticker would have the discount applied to your plan.

    With Fizz, you can update your phone at any time. The financing contract(s) with Affirm (if you don't want to pay outright) are separate from your Fizz mobile plan(s) and so is the contract term (Fizz plans don't have any).

    Make sure to calculate carefully though, most Android phones are more expensive when bought from a cell carrier than they are when bought directly from the phone manufacturer or through third-party retailers.

    Also, some phones give you a 24-month discount on your Fizz plan. This offsets (and may sometimes exceed) the increased sale price of the phone. However, the devil is in the details. If you cancel your Fizz plan before the end of the 24 months, you also lose the discount you had factored into the phone price. Also, if during the 24-month discount you decide to go on a cheaper plan with Fizz, your discount is also reduced. E.g. if you are on a $40 plan right now and the phone purchase gives you a 50% discount, you think you'd save $480 ($20 x 24) over the course of the 24 months. If however, say after three months, Fizz runs a promo where you decide to switch to a $25 Fizz promo plan, your monthly discount will also reduce from $20 to $12.50, as the discount is always 50% of your current Fizz plan's price tag.

    These are excellent points to consider when buying outright vs. financing and buying from Fizz vs. from another cell phone seller. Thanks!
