The biggest shopping day of the year is drawing near... only this year, it's probably going to last anywhere between a couple of weeks and about a month and a half. That's because Black Friday has long ceased to be a single day, and although I obviously can't know for sure just yet what retailers like Amazon and Walmart and device manufacturers like Lenovo and Motorola might be planning to offer on November 27, many early holiday deals on many of the best phones, tablets, smartwatches, and headphones out there seem to have already kicked off.

A bunch of these simply look too amazing to be eclipsed anytime soon (if ever), and a few could even go away for good before Black Friday 2026 technically arrives, so if you do decide to snub all of this week's top mobile tech offers from across the interwebs, don't come back complaining to me a month or two down the line how you haven't been able to find a better money-saving opportunity this holiday shopping season.

This is a pretty unusual but undeniably impressive trio of headliners

$100 off (25%)

A recently released Pixel Watch 5 at a $100 discount probably qualifies as this week's top smartwatch offer, but if you don't hurry, you might have to wait for Amazon's official Black Friday 2026 sale to revive this promotion, as it's only available in a couple of models right now. The Wear OS-powered device is undeniably stylish and extremely feature-packed while promising to deliver up to 40 hours of battery life.

If Motorola's latest foldables feel expensive (because they are), last year's Razr Ultra powerhouse might give you the financial relief you're looking for this holiday season at an incredible $700 discount in a top-of-the-line 1TB storage configuration with a whopping 16GB RAM also on deck. This is a gorgeous flip phone with two massive AMOLED screens supporting 165Hz refresh rate technology and a still-impressive Snapdragon 8 Elite processor under the hood, and on top of everything else, Motorola is ready to throw in complimentary Moto Buds 2 as well.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is another 2025-released foldable you should strongly consider in 2026, especially at a new record low price in a beautiful Mint color with no strings attached. This is a book-style powerhouse with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor under its hood, as well as larger screens and a more sophisticated rear-facing camera system than the Galaxy Z Fold 8.

I know you've probably gotten used to seeing the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, Pixel 11 family, or Galaxy S26 series lead the way in my week-ending collections of top deals and steals of late, but today, last year's Galaxy Z Fold 7 steps back into the limelight at a new record low price that's unlikely to stick around much longer.

The Pixel Watch 5's presence among the three most exciting products you can buy at a substantial discount is nowhere near as "exotic", but the Razr Ultra (2025) is not exactly accustomed to the spotlight anymore, suffering from what I like to call "bargain fatigue."

But this is still without a doubt one of the greatest foldable phones available in (late) 2026, and sooner or later, its repeated $700 price cut and $100-worth freebie will go away (or the device itself will be permanently discontinued), and you'll be left wondering why you didn't purchase it when you had the chance.

These other smartphone offers are not to be ignored either

$199 ⁹⁹

$299 ⁹⁹

$100 off (33%)

With a 120Hz refresh rate-capable 6.8-inch IPS LCD screen in tow, a respectable MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor under the hood, 8GB RAM, 128GB internal storage space, and a large 5,000mAh battery equipped with 30W wired and 15W wireless charging technology, last year's Moto G Power mid-ranger would be a pretty smart buy even at its $299.99 list price right now. But the handset is somehow marked down by a cool $100 and bundled with a complimentary pair of Moto Buds 2, thus looking pretty much impossible to turn down.

Buy at Motorola

$279 ⁹⁹

$100 off (26%)

Released just a few months ago, one of Samsung's most affordable US handsets is a whopping $100 cheaper than usual with no obligatory device trade-in, shining in the screen quality and battery capacity departments while promising to score a grand total of six major OS updates (including the already delivered Android 17 promotion).

$100 off (25%)

If you want a pen-wielding handset that won't break the bank like Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra or Galaxy S25 Ultra, last year's 5G-enabled Moto G Stylus mid-ranger should be at the top of your 2026 holiday shopping list at a phenomenal price after a cool $100 discount in both Gibraltar Sea and Surf the Web colorways. The 6.7-incher comes with an almost surprisingly high-quality AMOLED screen, as well as a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB internal storage space, and a 5,000mAh battery capable of charging at up to 68W speeds.

$116 off (19%)

One of the best and most unique-looking Android mid-rangers around is marked down by an impressive (and somewhat unusual) $115.50 from an already reasonable $599 list price in a 256GB storage variant that also packs a generous 12GB RAM count. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is massively discounted in both black and sliver color options, packing a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor and a 5,080mAh battery with 50W charging support.

$200 off (29%)

Released in the summer of 2025, this is still Nothing's latest high-end handset, and with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor under the hood and a gorgeous 6.67-inch OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate technology in tow, it continues to deliver impressive value for your money at a killer $200 discount. You can save $200 on both an entry-level variant with 256GB internal storage space and 12GB RAM and on a higher-end 512GB storage configuration with 16 gigs of memory also on deck.

$100 off (14%)

The humblest member of this year's Galaxy S26 family is perhaps not as affordable as many cash-strapped Samsung fans wished it would be ahead of its launch, but you don't have to wait until Black Friday to knock the Fan Edition's prices down by $100 at Amazon with no special requirements. Both the 128 and 256GB storage variants are available at the exact same discount in all colorways.

$300 off (21%)

The least popular member of the ultra-high-end Galaxy S26 roster is once again available at the deepest discount, at least in a 512GB storage variant and a decidedly eye-catching Cobalt Violet color option. The Galaxy S26 Plus is obviously not a bad phone by any measure of the word, packing the exact same state-of-the-art processor as the S26 Ultra and a large 4,900mAh battery with 45W charging capabilities while promising to receive a grand total of seven major OS updates.

$1149 ⁹⁹

$1399 ⁹⁹

$250 off (18%)

Today's best Galaxy S26 Ultra deal is... not that great at first glance, but in addition to an outright $250 discount with no obligatory device trade-in, Samsung shoppers also get instant $150 credit to use towards a Galaxy accessory or two of their choice. That brings your total savings up to $400, which is certainly not bad when you consider how awesome the S26 Ultra is at pretty much any price, eclipsing virtually all other Android phones available today in so many key ways.

Can I guarantee that the Galaxy S26 Plus and Galaxy S26 Ultra won't get heftier discounts than right now in the near future? Obviously not. But the Nothing Phone (3) and Nothing Phone (4a) Pro are an entirely different affair, scoring deals that are explicitly labeled as "early Black Friday" affairs on Amazon and thus looking very likely to have hit their lowest possible prices this holiday season.

There isn't a whole lot of room for further discounts as far as the mid-range Moto G Power (2025), Samsung Galaxy A27 5G, and Moto G Stylus (2025) are concerned either, especially considering the recent trends and challenges of the mobile industry in the slowly evaporating budget-friendly segment.

Last but not necessarily least, the Galaxy S26 FE is on sale at a... not-very-low price that's also unlikely to go any lower mainly due to the young age of Samsung's newest Fan Edition handset.

Now this is a remarkably diverse list of deeply discounted tablets

$82 off (53%)

Even though it lacks Google Play support and is thus not a "real" Android tablet, the 2023-released Fire HD 10 is pretty hard to resist in 2026 at a 53 percent discount. It's obviously hard to get excited about such humble specs as a 3GB RAM count or 32 gigs of internal storage space, but that 10.1-inch screen is a looker, sporting a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and pretty much single-handedly making this a 2026 holiday must-buy for a certain type of undemanding tablet user.

$199

$269

$70 off (26%)

Samsung's most affordable Android tablet is even cheaper than usual, and even though it doesn't come with a built-in S Pen, its large and reasonably smooth 90Hz refresh rate-capable 11-inch LCD screen, the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, 7,040mAh battery capacity, razor-thin 6.9mm profile, and stellar long-term software support make it a holiday must-buy for a lot of bargain hunters at a $70 discount in a Walmart-exclusive silver colorway.

$249 ⁹⁹

$339 ⁹⁹

$90 off (26%)

Like practically all other major (and minor) tablet vendors, Lenovo has increased the prices of many of its Android-based products over the last few months. But devices like the 11-inch Idea Tab are still impressively affordable for what they bring to the table, and at a hot new $90 discount, this Dimensity 6300-powered mid-ranger with a bundled stylus is almost impossible to beat in terms of its value proposition right now.

$299

$349 ⁹⁹

$51 off (15%)

Samsung's cheapest Android tablet to come bundled with a stylus is also on sale at a cool $50 discount, shining in the software support department as well while sporting a more than respectable 10.9-inch TFT LCD screen with 90Hz refresh rate capabilities and squeezing a relatively large 8,000mAh battery into a 6.6mm slim body made from an ultra-premium combination of aluminum and glass.

$399 ⁹⁹

$549 ⁹⁹

$150 off (27%)

One of the most impressively affordable (and impressively feature-packed) mid-range Android tablets released this year... by any company comes with a "Black Friday price guarantee" at 150 bucks under its regular price of $549.99. The Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 sports a 13-inch LCD screen with silky smooth 144Hz refresh rate technology, as well as a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, 8GB RAM, 10,200mAh battery capacity, four JBL speakers, and on top of everything else, a Lenovo Tab Pen Plus at no extra cost.

$799 ⁹⁹

$999 ⁹⁹

$200 off (20%)

Lenovo makes unapologetic Android high-enders too, and this 13-inch Snapdragon 8 Elite powerhouse is also unapologetically expensive... unless you get it at a $200 discount right now. This early Black Friday deal makes the Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 way cheaper than a new 13-inch iPad Pro or Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra while incredibly throwing in both a keyboard and stylus at no additional charge.

$350 off (22%)

Microsoft's latest and greatest laptop-replacing Surface Pro tablet is on sale at a killer $350 discount with 16GB RAM and a speedy and generous 512GB solid-state drive, as well as a 10-core Snapdragon X2 Plus processor under its hood. You may not have a lot of time at your disposal to take advantage of this early holiday deal, as only one Dune color option is currently available on Amazon for a full 350 bucks less than usual.

$299 off (17%)

For the first time in quite some time, a 2025 iPad Pro powerhouse actually looks like a decent deal, but unfortunately for bargain hunters, we're talking about a 1TB storage variant of the Apple M5-powered 11-incher that's obviously not very affordable at a hefty $300 discount either. But that discount is unlikely to be eclipsed this Black Friday... season, so digital hoarders should strongly consider pulling the trigger right now.

Believe it or not, both products normally priced at $1,799 and $155 can and have in fact scored deep discounts before Black Friday that could well go unbeaten after Thanksgiving and Christmas. The same goes for the impressive $350 discount of Microsoft's latest Surface Pro edition, as well as multiple killer deals involving multiple killer Lenovo devices.

The Galaxy Tab A11+ and Galaxy Tab S10 Lite are also unusually competitive at their heavily reduced prices, although if you ask me what I'd choose right now if I was in the market for an affordable Android tablet, I'd say the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 without an ounce of hesitation.

Do not overlook these very compelling smartwatches!

$131 off (44%)

Even for its $299.99 list price, the Vivoactive 5 offers incredibly detailed health and wellness insights while keeping the lights on for up to 11 days between charges. At a 44 percent discount therefore, this is an absolute steal for an undoubtedly limited time, especially when you also consider its almost surprisingly high-quality AMOLED touchscreen.

$150 off (25%)

This is obviously an even more powerful running smartwatch that can take your race preparation to the next level while promising up to an incredible 23 days of battery life and costing a cool $150 less than usual in three equally eye-catching color options.

$99 off (12%)

Apple's latest and greatest rugged smartwatch packs a fancy new Health Sensing System and ultra-powerful S11 chipset, thus promising to deliver more accurate and detailed health monitoring than ever, as well as silky smooth operations in any use case and scenario, including the most remote adventures and the most intense workout sessions. At $100 under its list price, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 is still not conventionally affordable, but only because this is no conventional timepiece.

Yes, the Pixel Watch 5 is very hard to beat in terms of value for money today, but not everyone likes Wear OS devices and especially Google-made wearables for fairly obvious reasons.

If you're the kind of smartwatch buyer who cares more about battery life and advanced running metrics than Android app support and other Google-specific software tricks, you have two very nice Garmins at two excellent prices to choose from today. Or, if you're an iPhone user, you can go for an Apple Watch Ultra 4 at a $100 discount that I highly doubt Amazon will be able to improve by the end of the year.

And how about a pair of distinctive earbuds or headphones?

$30 off (30%)

These are not only some of the flashiest wireless earbuds you can buy on a tight budget this holiday season, but among the most powerful as well, packing state-of-the-art active noise cancellation and a large 12mm driver promising premium sound quality. At a 30 percent discount, all that's left for bargain hunters right now is to decide which of the black, white, pink, or yellow colors to go for.

$90 off (45%)

Nothing's most affordable over-ear wireless Bluetooth headphones are an incredible 45 percent cheaper than usual in white, yellow, and pink color options with a decidedly unconventional design, cutting-edge active noise cancellation, Spatial Audio technology, all-day comfort, and believe it or not, up to 135 hours of battery life (or as much as 75 hours with ANC switched on at all times).

$130 off (43%)

The slightly costlier Nothing Headphone (1) are obviously more advanced than the Nothing Headphone (a) in terms of both noise cancellation and overall audio performance while delivering slightly humbler but still impressive 80-hour battery life between charges. At a 43 percent discount, these over-ear bad boys with six built-in microphones and IP52 water and dust resistance are definitely worth taking into consideration as a Christmas present for a special someone as well.

$80 off (20%)

You probably can't beat the brand-new Nothing Headphone (1) Pro in terms of sound quality right now, and despite their super-young age, Nothing's most powerful over-ear headphones to date are already marked down by an impressive $80 in both black and white colorways.

It's clearly not every week that a company as small as Nothing monopolizes an entire section of my deals roundup, but it's also definitely not every week that the brand's entire product portfolio is on sale at record low prices.

That's right, the Nothing Ear (3a) buds and the over-ear Nothing Headphone (a), Headphone (1), and Headphone (1) Pro are all cheaper than ever before at discounts of between 20 and 45 percent, and I'll be perfectly honest with you, I don't have a single recommendation in this category because all four of these noise-cancelling products deliver incredible value without you having to wait a single hour (let alone a week or two) for their "true" Black Friday offers.
