I've covered Black Friday sales for 9 years – these are the 35+ early deals I recommend right now

The Google Pixel 9a is still a respectable entry level-premium option with a great camera and long-term support. Our reviewer found its camera provides some of the best macro photography capabilities anywhere, and that it boasts the same Tensor G4 chip found in the more expensive Pixel 9 models. It’s worth noting that while there will likely be a Pixel 10a sometime in the first quarter of 2026, at just under AU$600, I reckon the Pixel 9a is good value.

Considering this is an Apple product, I really can't say if this discount will get any better later this month. But if you’re on a budget and you absolutely have to have an iPhone, it’s hard to beat the iPhone 16e at this price. Sitting somewhere between the previous iPhone SE and its flagship iPhone 16 sibling, this 2025 release offers the Apple experience with a few less bells and whistles in exchange for a reduced price tag. Its smaller form factor (6.1-inch screen size) may also be appealing to fans of the iPhone minis of yore.

It might be the base model in Samsung's latest flagship range, but in our Samsung Galaxy S25 review, my colleague applauded it for its battery life and premium design. There was a AU$420 discount just days ago, but this is still a good bargain on the 256GB variant, bringing it the realm of the best mid-range phones.

Yes, this is still an expensive smartphone at over AU$3k after discount, but the Z Fold 7 is more than just a phone. It's gorgeous 8-inch internal tablet-display, thin frame and superb cameras make it a multitude of devices in one. 256GB and 512GB models also get discounts, with prices starting at AU$2,464.

Samsung's alternative to Apple's AirTag was redesigned in 2023 and has been reasonably well received, making it a good Bluetooth tracker for non-Apple users. It'll let you keep tabs on the location of whatever you attach it to and, critically, it works with Android. It costs a little more than a single AirTag at full price, but this discount makes it easy to recommend.

If you've been looking for a set of tracking tags perfect for the Apple ecosystem, AirTags are your best bet, and although this 16% discount isn't much, it's about the usual offer we've typically seen on Apple's Bluetooth tracker set. This means each tracker is just AU$34.75 and a lot cheaper than just buying a single unit.

I'm expecting this smartphone gimbal to drop in price as it was AU$80 off this time last year, but I think this is still a good price for the DJI OM 6. Its ergonomics and app are great, plus it'll be a thoughtful Christmas gift for someone who loves taking videos and photos on their phone.

Admittedly not a big discount at all, but any saving on an iPad is, I think, worth considering. This compact iPad has a slightly more powerful chip under the hood than the entry-level iPad, but right now only the Space Grey variant of the 128GB Wi-Fi edition is AU$50 off. The other colour options are AU$10 more With Apple Pencil and Smart Folio support, this 8.3-inch slate is not just portable, but would be a handy device to have if you're working on the go.

I'm expecting this price to drop next week as it was AU$579 during October's Prime Day sale on Amazon, but this is still a worthwhile saving. It comes with the S Pen, which makes it suitable for artists and notetakers, adding value to what is still quite a powerful slate. Plus, Samsung has guaranteed security updates for the Galaxy Tab S9 until 2028, so it still has a few years of life left in it.

Note that this offer on Amazon is from a third-party reseller on the 128GB variant of Samsung's 'budget' tablet, and I do expect the price on this model to drop further, possibly at other authorised retailers. It's still a deal worth highlighting because we love the DeX mode for excellent desktop-style browsing, and the inclusion of an S Pen for note-taking and drawing is a game changer.

We're big fans of the over-ear headphones version of the Momentum 4, but that's not to say the buds are bad – far from it. Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, plus higher-resolution codec support go a long way in making these worth every cent. You're also getting a healthy dust ingress protection rating. The sound here is excellent and if call quality is important, the 'AI-improved voice pickup and call virtualisation' using the six mics in total will be a welcome addition.

For a set of budget headphones (they cost AU$179 RRP), these are surprisingly good. In fact, they scored 4.5 stars in our CMF Headphone Pro review, with our tester saying they sound "zealous" and have a "bass-hungry sound quality". Trust me, that's superlative terms for saying these are good. At this price, they're hard to beat. Note: this offer is from Amazon UK and will likely change – the dark grey colourway is cheapest, but the light green (pictured) is just a few dollars more via the same listing.

Despite having first launched in 2020, we still think the Sony XM4s offer the best bang for your buck of any pair of over ear headphones available today. They deliver excellent sound, effective noise cancellation, heaps of useful features and they even fold away for easy travelling. At this price, they’re a 100% certified Black Friday bargain. To get the deal price listed, sign up for a My Sony account (10% off) and enter code HOLIDAYSAVE (AU$40 off).

This relatively new Bluetooth speaker has been discounted to AU$157 before, making this deal an even better all-time low price. We gave the JBL Flip 7 a full five stars in our review and noted that the sound is a lot punchier than the previous model, plus it gets a bigger battery that lasts up to 16 hours. To get the discounted price, you need to generate a unique TechRadar JBL coupon code and apply it in the checkout.

The Beats Pill is a sturdy, classy portable speaker that you can use anywhere from the living room to the poolside, thanks to its IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating. It also has a substantial 24-hour battery life, so you can listen for a long time without worrying about recharging. Importantly, it's AU$20 cheaper than it's previous low price earlier this year and available in all colour options from JB Hi-Fi.

We gave this new speaker 5 stars in our JBL Charge 6 review and said that if you want big, high-quality sound for a great price, it's unbeatable. We haven't seen much in the way of discounts yet for the Charge 6 and this price is equal to the lowest it dropped during Prime Day last month. To get the deal price, you need to generate a unique TechRadar JBL coupon code and apply it in the checkout.

This QNED TV doesn't get the 'Evo' tech that was added to other LG Mini LED panels, but it does get a new processor to help it maintain greater control over colour reproduction. It's a cost-effective route into the world of LG, that's for sure.

LG's QNED range uses Mini LED panels and, in 2025, it bestowed its brightness-boosting 'Evo' technology on a couple of model ranges, including this QNED93. We've not reviewed it just yet (you can read what our colleagues at What Hi-Fi? thought of it in their 4-star review), but a colleague has seen it in person and found it to be exceptionally bright and capable of delivering vibrant, punchy colours.

The B5 is LG's entry-level model, but don't think it's not a capable performer, as it's still an excellent screen. And, in this 65-inch guise, coupled with its wealth of gaming support, it makes for a fantastic addition to a smaller room or as a gaming TV. Read our full LG B5 review for a full rundown on its capabilities.

The S85F is Samsung's entry-level OLED for 2025, but given its high level of performance, you'd be forgiven for thinking it sat higher up in the range. It serves up deep blacks, strong contrast and vibrant colours, everything you could want from an OLED TV, really. Right now though, given the small premium for the S90F (see below), that would still be our pick, but the S85F is a fine alternative if you want to save as much as possible. Read our full Samsung S85F review for the full story.

The S90F is the step-down model from the S95F, but in terms of overall performance, there's not a whole lot in it. So, if your budget can't quite stretch to the flagship, you won't be disappointed with this model. Plus, you can get in a larger size for less. You get an Anti-Glare screen, sumptuous colours and a gorgeous, slim design.

First off, the list price at Appliance Central is already a discounted amount – the 65-inch C5 retails for AU$4,295. Secondly, this has gone much lower in price in recent months, but if you missed out then, this is still a good discount for what is one of the finest screens to be released in 2025. The C5 continues where the company's excellent C4 left off, serving up superb colours, brightness and contrast, resulting in a TV that's perfect for most homes. It's a good-looking TV and has a wealth of gaming features.

A decent saving here on LG's 9.1.5-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar, making it a deal you really should pay attention to. It's a genuinely great and immersive soundbar. The wireless subwoofer delivers thunderous bass, while the soundbar and rear speakers work in unison to deliver effective and authentic Dolby Atmos soundtracks.

This upgraded model of the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is one of the best-value streaming sticks, especially for Amazon customers who appreciate Alexa. It supports 4K ultra HD resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR10 Plus and Dolby Atmos audio – plus cloud gaming via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Use it to access popular streaming subscriptions like Netflix, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus and more. This is a decent price, though I have seen it down to AU$49 previously.

This compact machine has a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU paired with 16GB of RAM, and can happily take on your daily workload. It also has premium extras such as a 16:10 (1920 x 1200) 13.3-inch touchscreen display with a high 400-nit brightness and 100% sRGB colour reproduction, and a facial-recognition webcam.

The Dell 16 Plus launched at AU$2,600, then dropped to AU$2,099 not long after, then AU$1698.40, and you can get it for AU$1,598.30 using the code FUTURE5% at checkout. That's not bad for this powerful laptop – especially since it has a 2560x1600 display, plus extras like Thunderbolt 4 USB-C and Wi-Fi 7.

This versatile 2-in-1 features the latest Series 2 Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor backed up by 32GB of RAM and a large 1TB SSD. The 16-inch (2880 x 1800) 120Hz OLED touchscreen display folds back through 360 degrees and works with the Lenovo pen for writing and drawing. You also get extras like an IR facial recognition webcam, dual Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports and a decently large 70Wh battery. That's a lot of laptop for the money!

While the AU$3,798 launch RRP wasn't too appealing, the XPS 13 has gotten cheaper over time and recently dropped to AU$1,899.70. Then you can take an extra 13% off using the code FUTURE13% and score a great price for this premium Snapdragon X Elite 32GB RAM laptop with a 2880 x 1800 OLED touchscreen.

This gaming laptop launched back in early June and has been AU$2,599.6 until recently, but has now dropped to AU$1,999.80. You can now also get an extra 13% off using the code FUTURE13% – bringing the price down to the lowest we have seen. This model only has a TGP of 80W, so it's slower than a 115W TGP RTX 5060, but it's still a reasonable deal for the specs if you want a more efficient but gaming capable machine with a big 16-inch, 2560 x 1600 120Hz display.

This popular budget vacuum cleaner is always a bestseller when discounted and this is its lowest price yet. We haven't tested it ourselves but user reviews are glowing. For quick and daily vacuuming, this is great and excellent value at this price – and I don't think it will get any cheaper.

It's the auto-emptying version of this cordless vacuum that I rank as the #1 best vacuum in Australia, but if you don't need that feature, this is arguably one of the best deals I can recommend on a powerful machine. You'll get up to 70 minutes of runtime, plus a bendy wand to get under furniture, and there's dynamic suction for the best clean possible.

Dyson’s original wet-dry cordless vacuum has dropped to a record-low price – and it's not even Black Friday yet! Well, you have to jump through a couple of hoops to get that discount, but hey, you can't tell me it's not worth it. It will work as a standalone vacuum or as a standalone mop, meaning it will suit most households with mixed flooring. It does both remarkably well, but watch out for the dirty-water dripping out of the Submarine cleaning head after you've finished your chores. Use the price-beat option at The Good Guys and this could be yours for just AU$783.

It's the most powerful Dyson yet and this is the exclusive model that comes with every single attachment you can think of (6 in total) along with 2 cleaning heads – the Digital Motorbar and the Fluffy Optic. You'll also get the freestanding Dyson FreeDok to stow it all away. If there was a Dyson Black Friday deal worth your money, this one is it, and that's despite the Gen5detect Absolute going for AU$877 at The Good Guys – it's just better value as you get more.

This Roborock wet-dry vacuum will leave your hard floors sparkling clean thanks to powerful suction and effective cleaning. It can get up close to edges and the whole body can lay completely flat to help getting underneath tricky to reach places. This standout deal is equal to the lowest price we have seen.

There's no denying why a GoPro is so popular, and the Hero 13 Black has been one of the best action cameras on the market for a long time now. If you've been holding off to get one to capture your summer (mis)adventures in glorious 4K, this discount makes it a lot more approachable, and saves you some cash to spend on mods.

Back to the October Prime Day discount on Amazon, this entry-level camera is already affordable even at full price. It might be a no-frills entry-level model that has a fixed rear display, but its 24.1MP APS-C sensor is excellent and it can shoot 4K/24p video (cropped) too.

Officially, this film camera-inspired digital version is called the X-HF1, but it made headlines as the X Half. If you're a film photography buff but don't have the cash to spend on rolls (and the subsequent processing of the negatives), this is one offer not to be missed.

This silver edition of this lovely MFT camera was AU$50 cheaper on Amazon in October, but this is still a good price on the black kit. Even with the lens attached, this is a very portable package, making it the perfect travel companion. You get a 20MP stabilised sensor and a flip-down monitor to help with framing your shots..

The Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the simplest fitness trackers around, but it works very well. It has a small screen that shows the time, how many steps you’ve taken, and your current heart rate as well. It’s subtle, so it fits on your wrist well – whether you’re at work or working out. Extensive battery life of up to seven days means minimal hassle, too. While Aussie stock is discounted to AU$220 on Amazon, if you're willing to get a German import, it's a fantastic bargain.

Huh, if there's already a 41% discount on this fantastic Garmin watch, what can we expect when Amazon actually kicks off its Black Friday sale? Well, there's no guarantee it will be cheaper, or even if it will get a discount then – all depends on the stock. But this is still an excellent price for the Sapphire Edition but note this is for the Small (42mm) solar-charging variant, while the larger 51mm model is down to AU$999.

This little smart plug will turn any old lamp or small appliance into a smart one. Just plug in your kettle or a lamp and you can use the app or Google and Alexa voice commands to control said device. You can set timers, create schedules and more, depending on what you plug into this adaptor. It's already quite affordable at AU$22 a pop, but why not save a few dollars?

I'm a massive Philips Hue fan and have a few smart bulbs scattered around my home, but every time I purchase one, I usually baulk at the price tag. So when there's a discount like this, I wouldn't hesitate sharing it. There's a 2m length here to get you started, and it combines white and coloured light for some very pleasing effects. If you already have a Hue Bridge, this will work with your current setup, but you can use it independently as it's Bluetooth compatible too.

This should get cheaper – it was AU$199 in October – but it's still not a bad bargain at this price. It's capable of cooking in separate zones, complete with separate trays to maximise the space or one huge 11.4L zone. Food is roasted to perfection, whether it's a full chicken or small portions of fries or vegetables. It does have multiple accessories to keep clean though.

Securing a spot on our list of the best air fryers, our reviewer said this innovative model from Ninja was the "air fryer of my dreams". It takes a familiar double drawer design, but stacks them on top of each other, resulting in a smaller footprint. Performance is exemplary, but just make sure the food you put in isn't that big, as the drawers themselves are on the smaller side at 4.75L each.

I've been using this sonic toothbrush for over a year now and I've often been scolded by it for not brushing quite right. Yes, scolded. This is a talking toothbrush that I didn't know I needed. While I prefer oscillating brushes, this one is unique. It uses bone-conduction tech to provide vocal feedback in real time so you brush exactly you ought to. It's cutting-edge stuff in oral hygiene and you'll get three replacement cleaning heads in the box too.

I don't recall such a good discount on the new edition of the Airwrap multi-styler, but note that only a few of the colourways get this AU$150 saving. According to TechRadar's Home Editor, this is the best hair styler tool, hands down, with the curl.i.d switch being the game changer here. It's still an investment and I don't think this price will drop any further through the sale period.

Desky Dual Standing Desk: AU$150 off with code DUAL150

I love this chair – I use it in the TechRadar Sydney office while I have the ErgoTune Vesby at home. It can feel quite narrow if you're bigger built, but otherwise I think it's the best office chair in Australia, complete with ergonomics and comfort.

It would have been nice to get a slightly better discount than this but, at this price, it's not bad for a chair with some decent ergonomic setup. It's fantastic for all-day comfort and support, but some of the material used does look cheap. Still, we have one in the TechRadar Sydney office and it is well liked.

It's not a huge discount but this is quite an affordable chair already and, what sets it apart from others on the market is that it tilts marginally in all angles. This allows the seat to move with you, encouraging micro movements that can add up over the day and promote better health and burn a few extra calories. It's ideal for thinner people but you won't get much in terms of back support.

One of the best office chairs that we've ever tested, the Series 2 is perfect for those who want a chair they don't have to worry about – offering supreme comfort while you stay focused on the task at hand. Earning 4.5 stars in our Steelcase Series 2 review, we loved how customisable its support was, as well as the breathability of its mesh. Plus, we thought it was pretty affordable at its original price. Use the exclusive checkout code FUTURE2025 to secure the full discount.

Currently our pick for the best mesh chair in Australia, the Karman is unique in that its frame is pretty much a single piece. It also doesn't have too many manual adjustment points because it's designed to adjust in real time with your body movements. The mesh is also very high quality, making it very breathable indeed. The only real drawback we could find in our Steelcase Karman review was its price. Down by nearly AU$600, this "one of a kind" chair is significantly easier to recommend with our exclusive FUTURE2025 discount.
