Best Cyber Monday deals
Black Friday is over, and with the weekend in full swing that means Cyber Monday is coming up fast, which means plenty of great discounts on some of our favorite tech products. Now’s a great time to shop to get the best prices on phones, tablets, wearables, accessories, and more.
Naturally, we’re doing our best to navigate some of our favorite tech categories acros Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers, updating this list with the best deals and promotions as we find them. So check back frequently because the Cyber Monday deals are going strong and showing no sign of slowing down.
Best Android phone deals
When it comes to phones, we’ve been seeing some pretty good discounts throughout the year. But if you’ve held out this long, it means you’re only looking to score the absolute best deals. And if you’re looking to buy, this year’s lineup has to offer some of the best options thanks to flagships like Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra, Google’s Pixel 9 series, mid-range devices like the OnePlus 12R, and even budget options like the Motorola Razr.
That’s not even considering some of the older-generation devices that are still worth taking a look at. But the good thing is that there’s something for everyone, no matter your budget. As of right now, we’re seeing deals on a variety of handsets, from the Galaxy S24 Ultra to the recently released Pixel 9. We’ve seen some deep discounts on these devices before, but what we’re seeing now is pretty much the lowest we’ve seen all year.
We’re also seeing some great discounts on foldable phones as well, with excellent prices on the OnePlus Open, Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 too. However, if you’re looking to buy a Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, we’d recommend waiting as we aren’t seeing any great deals on this handset. Overall, though, you can’t go wrong buying a new phone right now with stellar pricing on some of this year’s best handsets.
Best Android tablet deals
Android tablets are another category that frequently sees discounts throughout the year, but the deals just aren’t as consistent, which means, if you see a good price, you should probably grab it while it’s still available. The good news is that, right now, we’re seeing some pretty good discounts on some of the best tablets that you can buy right now.
The recently released Galaxy Tab S10+ is well below its original retail price, along with great discounts on some other tablets from Samsung, as well like the Galaxy Tab S9 FE or Galaxy Tab A9+. Be sure to grab what you want because you won’t see better pricing after Cyber Monday.
Best smartwatch and fitness tracker deals
Heading into the final part of the year, smartwatches and fitness trackers are always going to be popular gifts. Surprisingly, some of the best smartwatches you can buy right now from Samsung are all on sale, and the prices, to be frank, are pretty good. The Galaxy Watch 7 is seeing a rare discount, along with the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Both of these are down to their lowest prices so grab them now.
If you’re looking for something cheaper, we recommend going with the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic or Galaxy Watch 6, which are both seeing heavy discounts. But if you’re looking for something more fitness-focused, Garmin is going to be right up your alley with several options that are priced well below retail. Of course, Pixel Watches are also at their lowest price to date as well. An abundance of great choices, so you can’t go wrong.
Best accessory deals
These are some of the best prices we’ve seen on chargers, power banks, and charging stands. For the most part, we’re seeing the strongest deals available from Anker. Of course, brands like Ugreen are also offering good discounts on products too. With that said, it’s not all about charging accessories with the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and the Motorola Android Auto wireless dongle getting some nice discounts as well.
Best Chromebook deals
Amazon usually doesn’t offer the best selection when it comes to Chromebooks. Luckily, we can lean on Best Buy here since it offers the best selection when it comes to laptops and Chromebooks. Right now there are some good deals from both Amazon and Best Buy, as prices are at some of their lowest to date.
As far as what we expect, it’s really a mixed bag here, as this category isn’t historically known for offering the best discounts going into the end of the year. Typically, summer is when you’re going to see the best prices thanks to retailers catering to students going back to school. But if you see something you like, we recommend grabbing it now.
Best headphones and earbuds deals
Audio is an area that usually sees some great discounts during special sales events. And while we’re seeing some great prices here, we think that the discounts during Black Friday will be better. If you’re looking for discounts on Sennheiser and Jabra, now’s going to be the time to buy, as these are some of the best prices we’ve seen to date.
Of course, you can’t go wrong with a pair of Beats, which are now down to their lowest price so far this year. But if you’re thinking about picking up some Sony products, these are some of the best prices we’ve seen to date. Again, we’ve seen these deals in the past, so nothing special here, but most of these devices are down to their lowest.
Best smart home deals
If you’re looking to go with Amazon-owned smart home brands like Ring, Echo, or Eero — you can’t go wrong buying these devices now. A few of these products are at their lowest prices, and we don’t anticipate seeing them drop any lower. Of course, there could always be some kind of Lightning Deal that pops up, but you’re going to need to be there at the right time to take advantage.
When is Black Friday?
If you’ve been surfing online or have been to the mall lately, you’ve probably already seen plenty of advertisements for Black Friday. This year it fell on November 29th, but of course the deals run for longer than that, with heavy discounts on November 30th and December 1st too.
What about Cyber Monday?
Don’t forget about Cyber Monday, the one-day sales event that immediately follows the Black Friday weekend sale on Monday December 2nd. You’ll be able to find some new deals on this day, for one day only, so this is one to keep an eye out for.
What to expect on Cyber Monday
For the most part, you’re going to see all the top retailers trying their best to outdo each other, offering the deepest discounts on some of our favorite tech products. So if you thought Prime Day offered some fantastic deals, think again, because Black Friday and Cyber Monday are even better.
While most deals stay the same across the whole weekend, it’s not unheard of for products to get just a little cheaper when Cyber Monday arrives. Most retailers also save a few extra deals for Monday as one last push, so it’s well worth keeping an eye out just in case something new pops up.
The great part about this sales event is that you won’t need any special memberships for most products. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to be an Amazon Prime or My Best Buy member, especially since a few deals do remain exclusives, but it’s not a requirement.
