If you're thinking of waiting for the likes of the Galaxy S25 Edge, Z Fold 7, Pixel 10 family, iPhone 17 Air, Galaxy Watch 8, or Pixel Watch 4 to be released in the coming months before buying your next big smartphone, tablet, smartwatch, or earbuds, you might want to think again.

That's because far too many of the best mobile tech products available today are too deeply discounted for bargain hunters to look away, shrug their shoulders in indifference, and continue to play the waiting game. We've got state-of-the-art handsets, cheap tablets, expensive tablets, probably the best smartwatches in the world, and wireless earbuds for every budget on our latest week-ending list of the greatest deals and steals out there, and as usual, we'll begin with...

The top three offers you can get right now

$250 off (28%)

5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Android 15, Google Tensor G4 Processor, 6.3-Inch OLED Display with 2424 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 50 + 48MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 10.5MP Front-Facing Camera, Gemini Integration, 4,700mAh Battery, Three Color Options

These are all Black Friday-grade promotions here, starting with a "vanilla" Pixel 9 that's almost as affordable as the Pixel 9a mid-ranger and continuing with a cheaper-than-ever new iPad sporting a large 11-inch screen and packing a more than reasonably powerful Apple A16 chip.

The Galaxy Watch 7, meanwhile, has literally not been discounted as steeply as today since Black Friday 2024, making it virtually impossible for any hardcore Samsung fan to wait another few months for this bad boy's sequel (which is unlikely to bring a radical redesign or many major upgrades to the table anyway).

Okay, perhaps there's some overlap between the target audiences of the Pixel 9 Pro XL and OnePlus 13, for instance. But the surprisingly inexpensive Motorola Razr+ (2023) foldable has virtually no direct competitor or clear alternative today, and in many ways, the same also goes for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which can be considered the absolute best Android phone money can buy in 2025.

The Galaxy S25 Plus, of course, is ideal for buyers on slightly tighter budgets, while the Pixel 9 Pro is essentially the poster child for what felt like the dying breed of compact Android flagships, but not anymore. Last but not least, the Pixel 9a is... maybe not the most competitively priced mid-range phone around, but with a $100 Amazon gift card bundled in, its value equation is pretty strong nonetheless.

If Apple's latest "regular" iPad doesn't feel punchy or snazzy enough for you, the M3-powered iPad Air 11 (2025) could be exactly what you're looking for, especially at a hefty $100 discount.

The best Android tablets you can buy right now, meanwhile, are most likely the (dying) Google Pixel Tablet, pretty much unparalleled OnePlus Pad 2 "mid-ranger" (with a top-notch processor under the hood), the even cheaper stylus-wielding Lenovo Idea Tab Pro (released just a few weeks ago), and the gargantuan Galaxy Tab S10+ flagship.

All of these devices are sold at unusually large or hard-to-beat discounts today, and the same goes for Apple's diminutive iPad mini (A17 Pro), whose target audience is crystal clear.

The perfect smartwatch deal doesn't exist

Let me try to disprove that theory in four simple points. First, the Galaxy Watch FE. A road-opening Fan Edition Samsung smartwatch with a beautiful screen, almost all of the same health monitoring tools as the Galaxy Watch 7, and a considerably lower price.

Number two, the Pixel Watch 2. Old but gold. Enough said. Number three, the Apple Watch Series 10. Probably the greatest smartwatch you can pair with an iPhone today available for a cool hundred bucks less than usual. Finally, the Pixel Watch 3. Google's latest and greatest Wear OS timepiece at an unbeatable price of its own with standalone cellular connectivity. Now the hard part is to choose just one of these amazing (and amazingly affordable) smartwatches.

So many great earbuds at such amazing prices

$35 off (35%)

True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Ambient Sound, New Wingtip Design, Auto Switch, IPX2 Water Resistance, US Version, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty Included, White and Graphite Color Options

$70 off (41%)

$80 off (32%)

True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Apple H2 Chip, Adaptive Transparency, Personalized Spatial Audio, Hearing Aid Feature, USB-C MagSafe Charging Case, Up to 30 Hours of Battery Life, IPX4 Water Resistance, White

$50 off (20%)

True Wireless Earbuds with Secure Fit Earhooks, Active Noise Cancellation, Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking, Transparency Mode, Adaptive EQ, Apple H2 Chip, Heart Rate Monitoring for Workouts, IPX4 Water Resistance, Up to 10 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, Up to 45 Hours of Total Battery Life with Wireless Charging Case, Android and iOS Compatibility, Four Color Options

Ready to make another tough decision? Good, because I for one am finding it impossible to recommend just one product from this outstanding quartet of true wireless bargains.

The Galaxy Buds FE are obviously the most affordable of the bunch... but the Beats Studio Buds Plus are not much pricier and they look phenomenal, both on the outside and inside. The AirPods Pro 2, meanwhile, might seem like the safe choice for most Apple enthusiasts, but if you go to the gym a lot, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are even better, especially at their first-ever discount.
