Hunting for Black Friday phone deals in Malaysia is mostly about knowing what a phone launched at, so you can tell a real discount from a padded one. If you only have a minute, our top three picks for 2026 are the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, the Google Pixel 11 and the Redmi Note 17 Pro. All three are on Lazada from official or authorised sellers, and each covers a different budget.
Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday, November 27, with Cyber Monday on November 30. In Malaysia it is mostly a brand-store and mall event, while Shopee and Lazada save their biggest sales for 11.11 and 12.12 — so treat Black Friday as one more chance to buy, not the only one. Below are eight picks with their official Malaysian launch prices, so you can judge every deal against a fair number.
The list runs in three groups. First, four flagships for people who want the best camera and screen.
1. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
Launched at RM6,799 in Malaysia (12GB + 512GB). Samsung's top phone for 2026 pairs the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy with a 6.9-inch QHD+ 120Hz display, a 200MP f/1.4 main camera and a 5,000mAh battery with 60W charging. New this year is a built-in Privacy Screen that stops the person beside you on the LRT from reading your display. It is on Lazada in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB versions — check which one the deal price is for.
2. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8
Launched at RM5,399 in Malaysia (12GB + 256GB), RM400 more than the Flip7. It is thinner and lighter than last year's model — 6.1mm and 180g, down from 6.5mm and 188g — and runs Samsung's 2nm Exynos 2600, with a 6.9-inch main screen, a 4.1-inch 120Hz cover screen and a 50MP main camera. Sold on Lazada by Urban Republic, an authorised reseller. Pick this if you want a big screen that folds down to fit any pocket.
3. Google Pixel 11
Launched at RM3,999 in Malaysia (256GB). The Pixel 11 went on sale here on August 20 through telcos and authorised retailers such as Urban Republic and Senheng, so you get local warranty. It brings Google's 3nm Tensor G6, a 6.3-inch OLED display, a larger 48MP main camera sensor than the Pixel 10, and 256GB of storage as standard. Find it on Lazada. The one to choose if you want clean Android and Google's camera in a smaller phone.
4. Xiaomi 17
Launched at RM3,499 in Malaysia (12GB + 256GB) and RM3,799 (12GB + 512GB). It fits the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 into a compact 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED body, with three 50MP Leica cameras — main, 2.6x telephoto and ultra-wide — and a 6,330mAh battery in the Malaysian version. On Lazada in the 512GB version. The best flagship here for people who find the Ultra phones too big.
Next, two phones for sensible budgets, where Black Friday discounts matter most.
5. Samsung Galaxy A57 5G
Launched at RM2,399 in Malaysia (12GB + 256GB). A 6.7-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED+ screen, Samsung's 4nm Exynos 1680, 12GB of RAM, a 50MP main camera and a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging. Samsung promises six major Android upgrades, so it stays supported for years. Sold on Lazada with 1-year Samsung warranty. The safe choice for parents and anyone who keeps a phone for a long time.
6. Redmi Note 17 Pro
Launched at RM1,399 in Malaysia (6GB + 128GB, online only), RM1,599 (8GB + 256GB) and RM1,899 (8GB + 512GB). It arrived on September 2 with a 6.83-inch 1.5K 120Hz AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 6s Gen 4, a 50MP main camera with OIS and a huge 8,340mAh battery with 67W charging. On Lazada with official Xiaomi Malaysia warranty. The pick for heavy users on a budget who care most about battery life.
Finally, a tablet and a smartwatch that often get the deepest Black Friday discounts.
7. Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M4)
Official price RM3,499 in Malaysia (Wi-Fi, 128GB) after Apple's June 2026 price revision — it launched at RM2,799 in March — and RM4,199 for Wi-Fi + 5G. The 2026 iPad Air moves to the M4 chip with 12GB of memory, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. The Wi-Fi model is on Lazada. A comfortable upgrade for students and anyone still on an older iPad.
8. Samsung Galaxy Watch9
Launched at RM1,499 in Malaysia (40mm, Bluetooth) and RM1,599 (44mm). It runs the new 3nm Snapdragon Wear Elite chip, with a Super AMOLED display up to 3,000 nits and new health features such as Vitals and Heart Health Score. On Lazada in both sizes, Bluetooth or LTE. Best for Samsung phone owners who want health tracking on the wrist.
When to buy
Three windows matter this season: 11.11 on November 11, Black Friday from November 27 to Cyber Monday on November 30, and 12.12 on December 12. Phone prices can move at each one, so the useful habit is simple — note today's price on the model you want, compare it with the launch price above, and buy when a deal is clearly below both. If a price looks far lower than every other official store, treat it as a warning sign, not a bargain.
Frequently asked questions
Is Black Friday cheaper than 11.11 for phones in Malaysia?
There is no fixed rule. Shopee and Lazada run their biggest campaigns on 11.11 and 12.12, while Black Friday deals come mostly from brand stores. Compare the final checkout price with the Malaysian launch price, and buy when the gap is worth it to you.
Is the Google Pixel 11 officially sold in Malaysia?
Yes. The Pixel 11 series went on sale in Malaysia on 20 August 2026 through telcos and authorised retailers, including Urban Republic, Senheng and Shopee, with local warranty.
How do I know a phone listing is a Malaysian set?
Buy from official brand stores, LazMall or Shopee Mall, or authorised resellers, and check that the listing mentions Malaysian warranty. Be careful with listings that are far cheaper than the launch price or use another model's name in the title.
Which phone on this list is the best value?
For most people, the Redmi Note 17 Pro or the Galaxy A57 5G. The Redmi gives you the biggest battery for the money, while the Samsung offers six years of Android upgrades.
