Black Friday Mobile tech deals: live coverage of the top offers

iPhone deals are not super plentiful on Black Friday, but here is one that’s actually good. The iPhone 13 mini is sold at just $629, a full $70 buckaroos off the official price, but there is a catch: it will only work with the new Total by Verizon carrier in the US.

Budget phone hunters, rejoice! If you didn’t get that awesome Pixel 6a deal we shared earlier, this might finally convince you to buy. The Galaxy A53 5G sees a nice $100 price drop at Best Buy, which makes it just a bit easier on the wallet than before.

The OnePlus 9 Pro is the phone that ushered OnePlus into the “Hasselblad” era, and while it did not quite live up to sky high expectations, it remains an incredibly solid smartphone overall. Add the benefit of super fast charging that no other mainstream phone has, a large and precisely calibrated OLED display, and the typical buttery smooth OnePlus interface, and you are in for a treat. A much cheaper treat this Black Friday.

Looking for a cheapo phone that is actually good and lasts long? Well, the Moto G Power is immediately what comes to mind and from its usually affordable price, it drops down to downright cheap territory with this $80 price cut at Best Buy.

If a traditional slab fits your idea of a phone better than a foldable, then do check out this sweet deal on the current Motorola Edge+ (2022) flagship phone by Moto. It’s… edgy in all the right ways!

The Moto RAZR might not have the popularity of a Samsung phone, but it has the legendary Motorola brand on its side and with a larger and more useful cover screen, it’s actually quite the neat foldable. But what makes it irresistible this time is the price: it’s down from $1,400 to just $600 in this incredible Black Friday deal.

The Galaxy S21 FE, which stands for Fan Edition, is a phone that aims to bring the flagship experience to the masses, but it has never done this so well as now with this stunning $300 discount over at Amazon. Another absolute Black Friday gem for budget shoppers, but act quick on this offer or it may soon sell out!

The Moto G Stylus (2021) is still one of the more popular budget phones around, but when you see this Black Friday deal that cuts its price all the way down to $150… well, you just might want to get one. As the name implies, this phone comes with a built-in Stylus and it doesn’t cost a small fortune like that other phone with a stylus we all know and love. So budget shoppers, this might just be your moment this Black Friday!

It’s an iPad, but smaller. And cuter. We know that the iPad mini has its loyal following and we were happy to see Apple finally update it last year after years of neglect. Equipped with a contemporary chipset, an 8.3-inch screen with gorgeous colors and all of the power of iPad OS on board, it’s the perfect gadget to everyday carry. And this 15% Black Friday deal just makes all the more enticing.

The base model of the iPad from 2021, aka the affordable iPad, has just become even more affordable thanks to this sweet deal from Amazon that slashes 17% OFF the regular price. The 10.2-inch iPad might be a year old, but is still plenty powerful for all your basic needs and it’s a stunningly good media consumption machine. Be it for college or as a gift, this iPad deal makes a lot of sense and we recommend considering it.

In a world of extra large phones, the Pixel 7 stands out as a flagship phone with compact dimensions, an outstanding camera, and powerful performance. If that’s your kind of gadget, then you should be very interested in this Black Friday deal, which shaves $100 OFF the price of this cute yet powerful new Pixel phone.

Would you be interested in a gigantic 65” TV featuring the latest screen technology? Yes, this is an OLED TV, meaning that every single pixel is regulated, which in turn means that blacks are perfectly deep, contrast is incredible, and everything just looks extra good. With a 40% off on the original price, this is one heck of a deal.

Any OnePlus fans here on the blog? The OnePlus 10 Pro is the company’s current flagship phone and it’s kind of incredible that you can get such a high-end phone for merely $550 buckaroos. But that’s exactly what this deal is about: instant savings, no catch. Now be warned that this box might be a bit too big for a stocking stuffer, but that’s because this phone comes with a super fast charger inside it, unlike some other brands that are cutting cost on the charger.

Want some really cool sounding and cool looking headphones? Look no further than this deal for the cute, bean-shaped Galaxy Buds Live that are now discounted to less than half their price on Amazon. Are they the number one steal so far in this live blog? Could be!

Who said AirPods Pro deals? Well, you might not have said it, but we know you thought about it. Whether for a fancy stocking stuffer or for your own pleasure, the AirPods Pro Gen 2 sound incredible and now come with a few neat improvements to audio quality and a case that notifies you when it gets lost. Cool!

Speaking of top-notch Galaxy phones, the compact Galaxy S22 is perfect for those who appreciate a good phone that is not brick-sized. Despite its lightweight construction, the S22 has premium build with a glass back, and inside it has the same powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip as the best Android flagships out there. It also comes with a solid triple camera system on the back.

We continue with the phone deals and if you prefer a traditional phone, the flagship Galaxy S22 Plus is discounted to one of the all-time lowest prices we have ever seen. Sure, the Galaxy S22 Ultra gets all the press, but if you don’t want or need an S Pen, the Galaxy S22 Plus is lighter and might just be an overall better choice!

Time for some phone deals on the live blog! The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is the perfect entry into the fascinating world of foldable phones and now is a great time to get it with this 23% price cut available on Amazon! This phone is a vertical foldable, meaning that it works just like those clamshell phones of the past, but with a top-tier Snapdragon chip and a gorgeous OLED screen on the inside.

The Fenix 6 series is one generation behind the most current series, but the difference is actually not all that huge, and this deal is just insane. The Fenix 6X model is the one with the largest screen size and one with longest battery life, so if you don’t mind a bigger watch, this one would look stunning.

The latest and most powerful Apple Watch Ultra scores a rare discount for Black Friday, and even though $60 does not sound like much, this is about as good as deals get for this latest timepiece. With a larger screen, nearly double the battery life of the Series 8, a solid titanium construction and a built-in Cellular connectivity for every model, the Ultra is a beast of a watch that has received glowing reviews pretty much everywhere.
