Black Friday tech deals worth waiting for

Black Friday is on Friday 27 November and Cyber Monday on 30 November, though many UK retailers start earlier. These are the products we would watch, each with the price we recorded so you can tell a real saving from a sticker.

Updated 6 Nov 2026. We do not invent deals: the price under each product is the one we recorded, and the retailer’s price at checkout is the one that counts. Retailer links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.

How to spot a real Black Friday deal

  1. Compare with the recorded price. Some “was” prices are inflated. If the deal is not below the price we recorded, it is not much of a deal.
  2. Check the exact model. Deal listings often swap in an older model, a smaller size or less storage.
  3. Look at the seller. On marketplaces, check who sells and ships the item, and that it is new and for the UK.
  4. Know the returns window. Many retailers extend returns over Christmas, which gives you time to try a TV or headphones at home.

TVs

TVs see some of the biggest Black Friday cuts. A deal is only good if the model suits your room, so read the review first.

Phones

Phone deals are often bundles or contract offers. Compare the SIM-free price with the price we recorded.

Headphones, earbuds and soundbars

Audio is reliably discounted. Noise-cancelling headphones and budget soundbars are where the best value usually is.

Laptops

Check the exact memory and storage: deal listings often use a lower specification than the one reviewed.

Games consoles

Console deals are usually bundles. Work out what the included game is worth to you before comparing.

Smart home

Doorbells, cameras and smart displays are often at their lowest prices of the year.
