Best Black Friday deals LIVE now: 4K TVs, laptops, headphones and more

• Samsung 50″ Frame 4K TV: $1,299 $869 @ Woot (opens in new tab)

If you’ve been eyeing Samsung’s Frame TV, you should head straight to Woot for the lowest prices we’ve seen on this 4K set. At Woot, Samsung’s Frame is available starting at $429, with savings on all sorts of sizes.

The one that caught our eye is the 50-inch model of The Frame, currently on sale for $430 off at Woot (opens in new tab). That brings the price down to $869, which is cheaper than what you’d pay at Amazon for the same model. With this TV, you get an art mode that displays your favorite artwork along with HDR10/HLG support, built-in Google Assistant/Alexa, auto gaming mode and Samsung’s Tizen operating system.

• Amazon Echo Show 8: $129 $69 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)

During Black Friday, Amazon often discounts its smart home gadgets by a lot, which makes it an ideal time to pick up an Alexa-powered smart speaker or display — assuming, of course, you want Alexa in your home. Right now, the Echo Show 8 is just $69, a savings of $60 off its regular price. In our Echo Show 8 review, we thought it was the best smart display for most people — not as space-hogging as the Echo Show 10, but with more screen real estate than the Echo Show 5. 

One of the biggest benefits to the Echo Show 8 is that it can be used to show a live feed from some of the best video doorbells and best security cameras. In fact, one of our editors placed an Echo Show 8 underneath his computer monitor, and it changed the way he works. 

• Roku Streaming Stick 4K: $49 $24 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)

How about the best streaming stick at its lowest price ever? Yes please. The latest version of Roku’s popular streaming stick is our top pick overall, and that was before its price dropped by nearly 50%. In our Roku Streaming Stick 4K review, we praised its snappy performance, super clean interface and comprehensive app store (handy for accessing all the best streaming services). And, unlike other streaming devices, Roku’s interface isn’t jammed with ads and recommendations. New for this model is Dolby vision as well as improved Wi-Fi for ensuring a smooth stream of whatever you’re watching. This makes for a great stocking stuffer.

• Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells: $549 $349 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)

Get an early jump on your 2023 fitness goals with a set of the best adjustable dumbbells. This paid can be adjusted from 5 to 52 pounds merely by rotating a small dial on either side. In our Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbells review, we gave them 4.5 stars (out of 5), and liked their easy-to-adjust controls, comfortable grips, and free companion app, which gave us lots of great exercises and tips. This Black Friday deal shaves $200 off the regular price for a pair of dumbbells, so it’ll only be your arms — and not your wallet — doing the heavy lifting. 

• LG G2 OLED TV 55″: $2,099 $1,696 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)

There are a lot of TVs that go on sale during Black Friday; some are good, some not so much — and then some are great, like the LG G2 OLED. This is LG’s brightest OLED set yet, with an A9 Gen5 AI Processor that can automatically adjust picture and audio settings according to what you are watching. 

In our LG G2 OLED review, we gave this stunning set 4.5 out of 5 stars and said, “this is also the first OLED TV I’ve tested that is bright enough to recommend to people who will find themselves watching TV in a naturally lit room during the daytime.” 

This  Black Friday deal brings the G2 OLED down to the lowest price it’s ever been, so it’s a good time to strike.

A fresh batch of Black Friday deals just went live. Walmart’s Deals for Days event just started at 12 p.m. ET and there are plenty of new deals to sift through. Heads up — the sales are now live for Walmart Plus members only. Everyone else will get access later today at 7 p.m. ET. One of their biggest deals right now is the TCL 55-inch 4K Roku TV on sale for $188. That’s one of the least expensive big-screen 4K TVs we’ve seen so far this year. Make sure to check out our Walmart Black Friday deals live blog for the latest deals as they’re unveiled. 

Apple Watch Black Friday deals are starting to show up at major retailers. If you have your eye set on the best smartwatch we’ve tested, this deal is for you. 

For a limited time, you can get the Apple Watch 8 (LTE/41mm) on sale for $389 (opens in new tab). That’s $110 off and the first major price cut we’ve seen on Apple’s new watch. If you’re looking for a new smartwatch, this is one of the best Apple Watch deals you can get right now. 

In our Apple Watch 8 review, we named the Editor’s Choice watch the best smartwatch you can buy, especially if you’re looking to upgrade from an Apple Watch 4 or Series 5. 

The AirPods Pro 2 are brand new but they’re already seeing a discount on Amazon. Right now you can grab one of the best wireless earbuds for just $234, which is $15 off the regular price and ties the lowest price we’ve seen yet.

In our AirPods Pro 2 review we gave these earbuds 4.5 out of 5 stars and an Editors’ Choice award because of all of the improvements. This includes 2x better noise cancelation, new volume controls in the stems and longer battery life. Plus, you can use the iPhone’s TrueDepth camera to create a personalized spatial audio to listen to some of the best Dolby Atmos sound in any pair of earbuds. 

The World Cup 2022 is less than two weeks away, and if you’re in the mood for a kick about then you’re in luck as Black Friday deals pack a big saving on FIFA 23. Right FIFA 23 is on sale for $49 at Amazon (opens in new tab) — that’s a $20 saving on the PS5 or Xbox Series X versions of the game. Meanwhile, the PS4 and Xbox One editions have dropped to $39. 

The game’s officially-licensed World Cup mode will release on November 9, and offer the chance to play through the entire tournament at home with authentic teams, stadiums and a bespoke matchday broadcast package. Plus, FIFA 23 also offers a wealth of other modes including career mode, online Pro Clubs and the ever-popular Ultimate Team mode. 

In our FIFA 23 review, we praised the game for its tweaks to the defending system, as well as it’s visuals and presentation. But we were a little disappointed that its notoriously predatory microtransactions continue to be a problem. 

Here’s a perfect Black Friday deal if you’re feeling a little bleary eyed this Monday morning, the Ninja CFP201 DualBrew Coffee Maker is on sale for $99 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s a $100 saving, taking 50% off this multi-purpose kitchen appliance. 

This coffee maker can brew from K-Cup pods, but can also be used with coffee grounds as well. You can brew in one of nine cup sizes and select one of three styles: classic, rich or over ice. Plus, it has an adjustable warming plate for keeping coffee warm for up to four hours. And its 60oz water reservoir is removable, allowing to conveniently filled it without having to move the entire coffee maker.  

Let’s start Monday off with a pretty epic discount on some of the best wireless earbuds you can buy. We love the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds, and at a new lowest ever price now is the perfect time to buy. 

Right now, the Sony WF-1000XM4 Wireless Earbuds are on sale for $178 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s a $100 saving compared to its usual price of $279, and a fantastic price for earbuds that we awarded an Editor’s Choice seal. In our Sony WF-1000XM4 review we labeled it “the wireless earbuds upgrade we’ve anticipated, with better aesthetics, sound, noise cancellation and battery life.”

Headlined by the an all-new audio processor, the Sony WF-1000XM4 offer clearer sound and better active noise cancellation compared to its very well regarded predecessor, the Sony WF-1000XM3. The battery life has also been enhanced — now stretching to 8 hours with ANC on and 12 hours with ANC off — and the new Sony Headphones Connect app brings worthwhile additional features.  

• Samsung Galaxy Buds Live: $169 $99 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)

You can save big on Samsung’s wireless earbuds at Amazon in the build-up to Black Friday. Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Live are currently on sale for $99 (opens in new tab), which is a $70 price drop for the wireless earbuds.

That’s a nice pair of earbuds to pick up for less than $100. Our Galaxy Buds Live review praised Samsung’s earbuds for their great sound quality and comfortable design. They also deliver pretty solid battery life, lasting nearly two straight days of heavy use in our testing.

• Samsung Galaxy A53: $449 $229 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)

Black Friday sales are proving to be a great time to pick up a midrange phone on the cheap. And not just any midrange phones, but some of the best cheap phones available.

Take the Galaxy A53, one of our favorite phones from the past year. Best Buy is offering the Galaxy A53 at $200 off the $449 phone (opens in new tab) when you activate the device with a phone carrier. If you get the phone unlocked, you can save $100 off the regular price.

In our Galaxy A53 review, we like the phone’s 120Hz display along with its strong build quality. The cameras are also good for a midrange model, too.

If you’re looking at a large watch — then this deal on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic totally has you covered. The deal is only for the 46mm variant and while it is not down to the lowest price we have seen for this watch, it still amounts to a huge $100 saving.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, LTE version is down to $329 at Amazon (opens in new tab). This is a big drop from its original price of $429. 

The watch has a sporty aesthetic, plus a cool body composition analysis feature, and revamped Wear OS software. In our Galaxy Watch 4 review (opens in new tab), we named it Samsung’s best smartwatch ever. It also has an ECG sensor, GPS fall detection and can recognise upto 6 exercises automatically, for fitness enthusiasts. 

Overall, it is a good all-rounder watch and if you are looking at one without breaking the bank, this is a good option to consider.

For a limited time, the Bose QuietComfort 45 Wireless Headphones are on sale for $249 at Amazon. That’s $80 off the full retail price of $329 for a total savings of almost 25%. This deal brings the ANC headphones back down to their lowest-ever price. Note that this same discounted price is currently available at Best Buy. 

We rank the Bose QuietComfort 45 as some of the best headphones you can buy. In our Bose QuietComfort 45 review we labeled the slick headphones a “no-brainer for Bose fans who want to swap out their older QC headphones for something more modern, or shoppers who want first-class Bose noise cancellation for a cheaper price than the 700.”

In our testing we were most impressed by the high-end active nosing canceling. QuietComfort 45 also packs the excellent sound quality that you’d expect from a Bose product. And these are rated for a strong 24 hours of battery life with ANC enabled. 

One of the latest OLED TVs by Sony is on sale that brings it down to a pretty affordable price. This is the Sony Bravia XR A80K 65-inch OLED TV and while it doesn’t hold the top spot in our best OLED TVs list, it does bring some new features like a cognitive XR processor which delivers natural colors and special settings for gamers for the PlayStation 5. This TV is now on sale for $1,698 at Amazon (opens in new tab) which is the lowest price that it has ever dropped to.

OLED TVs offer incredible picture quality — each pixel on the screen of an OLED TV is lit and colored individually, and there’s no backlight behind the screen. That means richer colors and deeper blacks. 

Gadgets are already starting to see record low prices in early Black Friday deals this time, so if you are on the fence about upgrading your TV, this is a sweet deal to consider.

• TP-link Deco X20 3-pack mesh router: $249 $179 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)

We’re all looking for better connectivity during the holidays. No, not with that long-lost uncle who doesn’t hesitate to gas on about what he saw on cable news the other night — we’re talking better home connectivity, and a good mesh router can help you achieve that with your Wi-Fi network.

TP-Link’s Deco X20 mesh router is that good router, and right now, it’s on sale at Amazon. You can get a 3-pack of the Deco X20 mesh router for $179 (opens in new tab) — $70 off the regular $249 price. (If you don’t need the 5,800-square feet of coverage the 3-pack provides, Amazon is also discounting the 2-pack Deco X20 package.)

In our Deco X20 review, we were impressed by the excellent range and added security features. It’s also an inexpensive way to get Wi-Fi 6 into your home, especially with this Amazon price cut.

• Madden NFL 23: $69 $39 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)

Ready for some football? At these prices, you sure will be, as the venerable Madden football series is on sale at Best Buy. The retailer has lopped off $30 from the price of Madden NFL 23 for Xbox Series X (opens in new tab) and Series S, bringing the price down to $39.

Got a PS5? Don’t fret. Best Buy has the same Madden NFL 23 for $39 (opens in new tab) deal for you, too.

Whether you have an Xbox or a PS5, you’ll want to move faster than Lamar Jackson scrambling through an opening in the offensive line. Best Buy’s website says the deal ends tomorrow (Nov. 6).

In our Madden NFL 23 review, we praised the game for its TV broadcast-like aesthetic and its fast loading times. Long-time fans will also appreciate the John Madden Legacy Game included in this year’s version.

It may not be the newest MacBook Air, but there’s still plenty to love about the MacBook Air M1. It packs fantastic battery life (over 14 hours on our battery test), excellent performance thanks to its M1 chip, and a gorgeous 13.3-inch Retina display. It’s now on sale for $799 at Amazon (opens in new tab), which is the cheapest price we’ve seen all year for this laptop. 

Other highlights include a comfy Magic Keyboard and roomy trackpad. Note that Best Buy (opens in new tab) has it on sale for the same price. 

The Fitbit Luxe is the fanciest fitness tracker we’ve tested. (Sorry, Apple Watch Hermes). That said, our love for the Luxe isn’t all shallow. In our Fitbit Luxe review, we named it one of the best Fitbits around. It’s kitted out with Fitbit’s Activity Zone Minutes, sleep tracking, stress management tools, and provides a 5-day battery life. Even better, you can snag one for $50 off right now at Best Buy. 

If you’re looking for a killer deal on one of the best phones we’ve tested this year, Samsung is now offering its S22 for as little as $49 after trade-in. It features a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED FHD+ display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. You also get a 40MP (f/2.2) front camera and three rear lenses that include a 50MP (f/1.8) main, 12MP (f/2.2) ultrawide, and a 10MP (f/2.4) 3x telephoto lens. Although it’s the least-expensive phone in Samsung’s current Galaxy S22 lineup, in our Galaxy S22 review we called it a solid step ahead for Samsung, with noteworthy improvements to the display and the camera.

The Apple Watch SE 2022 just got its first noteworthy price cut since its launch. Right now Amazon has the GPS 44mm model on sale for $239. That’s $40 off and the best deal you’ll find out there right now. In our Apple Watch SE 2022 review, we said it offers everything you could want from a smartwatch. It’s only con — it lacks an always on-display. For more sales on other Apple Watch models, make sure to follow our Apple Watch Black Friday deals page. 

Here’s a solid deal for any casual gamers out there. Dell has its G15 Gaming Laptop on sale for $599. It’s $350 off and a great price for the hardware. You get a 15.6-inch 1080p 120Hz LCD, Core i5-12500H CPU, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and an RTX 3050 GPU. Although we haven’t reviewed this specific model, we have reviewed other G15 configs and have generally found them to be reliable/affordable gaming laptops. Heads up that the Dell website says this laptop deal is 69% claimed, which means it could sell out fast.

Streaming devices make for a great holiday gift. Even if you already own a smart TV, the right streaming device can make your viewing experience much more pleasurable. Right now Best Buy is slashing the price of various streaming devices from Roku, Amazon, Google, and Apple. Not sure which one to get? I personally own the Roku Streaming Stick 4K and absolutely love it. It’s also the overall winner in our list of the best streaming devices.

Just a heads up — the Apple TV 4K is about $10 cheaper at Amazon. Amazon has it for $99 (opens in new tab), whereas Best Buy has it for $109 (opens in new tab).

There are a lot of great deals today, but for non-tech items — this might be my favorite. Nectar is taking 33% off sitewide right now. The sale includes the excellent Nectar duvet. I love my Nectar duvet. I bought it a few years ago and since then have purchased a second one. It’s super-soft and made of breathable cotton that keeps you warm during the winter and cool during the summer. The duvet also holds a spot in our list of the best duvets. Right now you can get the twin for $100 (was $149) or the queen for $120 (was $179). 

They’re no longer Sony’s flagship ‘phones, but the WH-1000XM4 are still among the best headphones you can buy. In our Sony WH-1000XM4 review, we described the headphones as “Sony’s best pair of noise-cancelling headphones yet” and called them “a fine-tuned enhancement that stands out as the best in the series, and even beats the best-in-class Bose 700 in some key areas.” We especially loved the excellent audio, remarkable noise cancellation, intuitive smart controls, and the superb battery life of around 30 hours (with Active Noise Cancellation enabled). They’re not at their lowest price ever. 

Well, well, look at what we have here. Amazon is officially the first retailer to offer a noteworthy price drop on the new 11-inch iPad Pro (2022). It’s on sale for $749, which is $50 off. The updated tablet features Apple’s mighty M2 CPU. Apple claims the new chipset’s 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU are up to 15% and 35% faster than the previous-gen model. Otherwise, you get the same hardware as its predecessor. That includes an 11-inch 2388 x 1668 Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion, 8GB of RAM, 12MP wide/10MP ultrawide rear cameras, and a 12MP TrueDepth front camera. 

Gaming laptops are usually a pretty pricey investment, but thanks to Black Friday deals you can get a machine sporting solid specs for less than you might expect. Case in point, this Gigabyte G5 gaming laptop is on sale for $549 at Best Buy (opens in new tab) — that’s a saving of $350 compared to its regular retail price of $999. 

At this price, don’t expect a cutting-edge laptop, but it does packs a 15.6-inch Full HD  screen, an Intel Core i5-11400H CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti GPU, 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. The laptop also sports a 144Hz refresh rate, which is a really nice bonus, and makes it a great pick for playing fast-paced shooters or action games. The G5’s specs are from 2021 but they still hold up extremely well. 

Granted, the 512GB of storage is a little on the small size (but one of the best external hard drives will fix that) but otherwise this is reasonably powerful gaming laptop at an entry-level price.  

The Black Friday sales period is often noted as the ideal time to score a TV upgrade, and if you’ve been considering one of the best OLEDs then you’ll want to pay attention to this Amazon deal. 

Right now you can get the 55” LG A2 OLED 4K TV for $896 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s $403 off the usual price, and one of the best early Black Friday deals out there at the moment. Don’t let the fact Amazon hasn’t marked it as a deal fool you, this is definitely a killer discount. 

There’s plenty to love about the LG A2. For starters, its’ an OLED TV that offers better picture quality that an LCD TV. Plus, this set comes with a 55-inch 4K display, complete with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG support. It also packs Google Assistant and Alexa support, and LG’s webOS software is often considered one of the best smart TV platforms.

One of our favorite early Black Friday deals is easily this MacBook discount courtesy of Best Buy. It’s been running for a few days now but remains extremely compelling. Right now the MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro/512GB) is just $1,599 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). That’s $400 off and ties the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this powerful laptop.

In our Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) review, we were seriously impressed by what this device had to offer. It has pretty much everything you could want in a laptop; including incredible performance, a beautiful 14-inch display and battery life that lasted over 14 hours in our tests.

If all that wasn’t enough it also packs an excellent 1080p webcam, a Magic Keyboard that is a dream to type on, and a fairly generous selection of ports, which is far from guaranteed when it comes to Apple laptops. Still no USB-A port though, but this can be fixed with use of a dongle or dock.
