Weekly deals roundup: Huge holiday discounts on iPads, Pixels, Motorolas, and more going strong!
Black Friday used to be dubbed the biggest shopping day of the year... when it was just one day (two, tops), but while the "biggest" label might still be an accurate way to describe the lengthy sales events organized by retailers like Amazon and Best Buy around Thanksgiving, the holiday season does not end with the month of November, and neither do the greatest tech deals out there anymore.

That's right, many of the sizzling hot promotions of the last few weeks are back with a bang and going strong before Christmas, once again viciously slashing the prices of many of the best smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and true wireless earbuds around.

That means our tireless work of finding, collecting, and curating the top deals across the nation is also far from over for 2023, with another spectacular weekly roundup heading your way as follows:

These are today's three greatest bargains

Apple iPad (2022)

Wi-Fi Only, 10.9-Inch Liquid Retina IPS LCD Screen with 2360 x 1640 Pixel Resolution, Apple A14 Bionic Processor, 64GB Storage, 12MP Rear-Facing Camera, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, Top-Mounted Fingerprint Scanner, USB Type-C Port, Multiple Color Options

Motorola ThinkPhone

5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Processor, Android 13, 6.6-Inch P-OLED Display with 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, IP68 Water and Dust Resistant, MIL STD 810H-Tested for Durability, 50 + 13 + 2MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Selfie Shooter, 5,000mAh Battery with 68W Wired and 15W Wireless Charging Support, Volcanic Gray Color

Buy at Motorola

Google Pixel 7 Pro

5G, Unlocked, 128GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Google Tensor G2 Processor, Android 13, 6.7-Inch AMOLED Screen with 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 50 + 48 + 12MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 5,000mAh Battery with 23W Wired and 23W Wireless Charging Support, Snow

Are you sad that Apple has broken with tradition this year, not releasing or unveiling a single new iPad model for the first time in the history of the industry-leading product roster? While we can definitely understand your disappointment, there's clearly nothing wrong or shameful with picking up the 10.9-inch iPad (2022) in 2023, especially at a (refreshed) all-time high discount of $100.

The same goes for last year's high-end Pixel 7 Pro handset for hardcore Google fans and Android purists who can't afford the newer Pixel 8 Pro or who are simply well aware that this year's 6.7-inch flagship is not that much better than its predecessor.

The business and outdoor-friendly Motorola ThinkPhone, meanwhile, is from 2023 but somehow carries a decidedly 2022 price tag after yet another huge $300 markdown with absolutely no strings attached. At $399.99, this exceptionally robust and secure 6.6-incher is undoubtedly one of the best budget phones you can still order and receive by December 25.

It's raining killer Christmas smartphone deals!

Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 6.5-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology and 2400 x 1080 Pixel Resolution, 6GB RAM, MediaTek Dimensity 930 Processor, 50 + 2 + 2MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 16MP Single Selfie Shooter, 5,000mAh Battery, 15W Charging Support, 10W Charger in the Box, Bright White and Mineral Black Color Options

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5

5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Processor, 7.6-Inch Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display with 2176 x 1812 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 6.2-Inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Cover Screen with 2316 x 904 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Support, 50 + 10 + 12MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 10MP Cover Camera, 4MP Under-Display Shooter, 4,400mAh Battery with 25W Charging Capabilities, Multiple Color Options

Would it be more fitting to say that it's snowing special smartphone offers? Either way, what's important to note is that you can find a wealth of different devices on pretty much every possible budget after new, renewed, or extended holiday discounts at the likes of Amazon and Best Buy.

We're talking outstanding mid-rangers like Samsung's 5G-enabled Galaxy A54, slightly cheaper and lower-end Motorola models like the latest 5G-enabled Moto G Power, affordable new powerhouses like Google's "vanilla" Pixel 8, surprisingly affordable new high-end foldables like the Motorola Razr Plus, and unapologetic super-flagships like the Galaxy Z Fold 5

Oh, and let's not forget about the state-of-the-art Pixel 8 Pro or Motorola's big Edge+ (2023) rival to the Galaxy S23 Ultra at an incredibly low price!

These tablet promotions are the bomb!

Apple iPad 10.2-inch (2021)

Wi-Fi Only, 64GB Storage, Apple A13 Bionic Processor, Retina IPS LCD Screen with 2160 x 1620 Pixel Resolution, 8MP Rear Camera, 12MP Front Camera, Front-Mounted Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor, All-Day Battery Life, Space Gray and Silver Color Options

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8

Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, 8GB RAM, 11-Inch TFT LCD Screen with 2560 x 1600 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Processor, 13 + 6MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 12MP Front Camera, 8,000mAh Battery with 45W Charging Support, Graphite Color, S Pen Included

Microsoft Surface Pro 9

Wi-Fi Only, 256GB SSD, 16GB RAM, Intel Evo Core i7 Processor, 13-Inch PixelSense Flow Touchscreen with 2880 x 1920 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Windows 11 Software, Up to 15.5 Hours of Battery Life, Two USB-C Ports with USB 4.0 and Thunderbolt 4 Support, 2W Stereo Speakers with Dolby Atmos, 10MP Rear-Facing Autofocus Camera, Windows Hello Face Authentication Front Camera, Graphite Color

Can you believe that the Galaxy Tab S8 is cheaper today than it was on Black Friday 2023? Neither can we. It's also pretty remarkable to see the gargantuan Tab S8 Ultra still sold at its highest ever discount, while the old and admittedly outdated 10.2-inch iPad (2021) remains a solid alternative for its significantly snazzier successor for Apple fans on super-tight budgets.

Google's first-of-a-kind Pixel Tablet is fairly reasonably priced as well... for what's essentially a 2-in-1 device with smart display-transforming skills, while the Surface Pro 9 is definitely not cheap with Intel Core i7 inside and a whopping 16GB RAM but it's also arguably not prohibitively priced for the right type of buyer.

Check out this week's best smartwatch offers!

We'll admit, this category has looked a lot better in recent weeks, at least from a quantity standpoint. But the quality of these three top smartwatch deals available today is undeniable, and although the Pixel Watch, Pixel Watch 2, and Apple Watch Ultra don't exactly cover every little market segment, they're certainly different and unique enough to turn a lot of heads and generate plenty of last-minute Christmas sales.

Of the three, it's definitely worth pointing out that Google's second-gen Pixel Watch was actually not discounted at all during the search giant's extended Black Friday and Cyber Monday festivities, while the OG Apple Watch Ultra is arguably a better choice than the newer edition in terms of value-for-money today.

How about some nice and cheap earbuds as stocking stuffers?

Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC

True Wireless Earbuds with Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation, Hi-Res Sound, LDAC Technology, Full Adjustable EQ with Hear ID 2.0, Fast Pair, Bluetooth 5.3, Six Beamforming Microphones, IPX4 Water Resistance, Up to 10 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, 50 Hours of Combined Battery Life with Wireless Charging Case, Multiple Color Options

Google Pixel Buds Pro

True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, Custom 11mm Speaker Drivers, Volume EQ, Beamforming Microphones for Crystal Clear Calls, IPX4 Water Resistance, Up to 31 Hours of Battery Life with Wireless Charging Case, Multiple Color Options

We can't think of many better ways to show someone you love exactly how much you care about them (and how cool you are) without spending a small fortune than getting a deeply discounted pair of Pixel Buds Pro or Soundcore Liberty 4 NC for Christmas. That is, except for all the other ways illustrated and exemplified above, of course.

But these top contenders for the title of best wireless earbuds money can buy today are obviously a lot cheaper than an iPad or Google Pixel phone, not to mention that they will definitely fit snugly into a Christmas stocking and impress your special someone with their premium audio quality, excellent noise cancellation, and many other cutting-edge features and capabilities.
