1. Google Pixel 8 Pro: $999 $799 at Amazon
The Google Pixel 8 Pro earned the top spot in our list of the best Android phones of the year, not because it’s the most powerful (that title belongs to the illustrious Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) but because it boasts balanced specs, some of the best camera tech on the market, and loads of bang for the buck.
Head to Amazon during the Black Friday sale and you’ll save a straight $200 on the Google Pixel 8 Pro, which is the biggest discount that the unlocked phone has ever received, no strings attached!

The Motorola Razr Plus just keeps getting cheaper. One of our favorite foldable phone releases of the year, the Razr Plus pairs the efficiency of a Snapdragon chip with a durable, sophisticated design and one-of-a-kind user experience.
The Razr Plus officially starts at $999.99, but the price has been steadily dropping over the past few months. Now, thanks to Black Friday, you can grab this innovative foldable for just $699.99.

3. Fitbit Charge 6: $159.95 $99.95 at Best Buy
The latest wearable from Fitbit, the Charge 6 has only been out for a little over a month, but that hasn’t stopped the Black Friday sales from knocking the price of this watch down to a mere $99.95 at Best Buy.
We gave the Fitbit Charge 6 4.5 out of 5 stars in our recent review, namely because of its comfortable design, Google Maps support, over 40 activity modes, and a comprehensive arsenal of health sensors. All of this for just a Benjamin? Count us in.

4. Sony WH-1000XM5 – $399 $314.99 at Walmart
Our top pick for the best wireless headphones that money can buy, the Sony WH-1000XM5 haven’t seen too many discounts since they first hit store shelves back in May 2022. Fortunately, this year’s Black Friday events have changed all of that, with Walmart slashing an epic $85 off the top-rated cans.
With the Sony WH-1000XM5, you’re getting unrivalled active noise cancellation, immersive sound quality thanks to Sony’s QN1 processor, and up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge.
Price comparison: Amazon – $328 | Best Buy – $329.99
5. Google Pixel 7a: $499 $374 at Amazon
If you want the power and features of a Pixel flagship without paying a flagship price, the Google Pixel 7a is the phone to beat. You get the same Tensor G2 chipset as the more-expensive Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, plus some outstanding haptics and the exclusive camera features that the brand is known for.
Thanks to Amazon’s Black Friday sale, the price of the 7a has crashed to just $374, which is the cheapest that the phone has ever been.

$529.99$228 at Walmart
If you’ve been hunting for a smart TV this holiday season, you probably noticed that it’s nearly impossible to find a 65-inch TV for less than $500, especially one that supports 4K UHD picture. This Black Friday deal from Walmart changes all that. For a mere $228, you’re getting outstanding picture with 4K upscaling, HDR support, and of course, instant access to all of your favorite streaming services (plus a lot of free stuff!) thanks to the Roku TV platform.

- Fossil Gen 6 44mm:
$299$169.99 at Amazon
Stylish and versatile, the Fossil Gen 6 boasts an efficient Qualcomm chip, loads of activity-tracking features, and great battery life with super-fast charging. It’s a few years old at this point, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as you can currently grab this watch for just $170 during Amazon’s Black Friday sale. That’s not a record low price for the watch, but it’s pretty darn close.
- Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra:
$1,199.99$899.99 at Best Buy
Why not kick things off with the most powerful Android phone on the market? The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra boasts a built-in stylus, a gorgeous 6.8-inch AMOLED display, and the power of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. Grab one of these beasts of performance at Best Buy and you’ll save a record-smashing $300 on your purchase. As the biggest drawback of the S23 Ultra has always been its prohibitive price, this Black Friday discount is a big deal.
