Motorola Razr (2024)
Just in case it hasn't yet kicked off for you with Amazon's recent Prime Big Deal Days festival, the holiday shopping season can start right now. Technically, no special sales events are underway at the time of this writing at any major US retailers, but that's not stopping said retailers from already running plenty of Black Friday-grade promotions on plenty of great mobile products.

The advantage of buying whatever your heart desires months before Christmas is pretty obvious, with no big crowds or long lines (either physical or digital) threatening to leave you empty-handed and scrambling to find the perfect gift for your better half at the eleventh hour.

Of course, some of the top deals currently available on some of the best phones, tablets, and smartwatches out there could well expire in no time, so if you know what you want and how much you're willing to spend, you'd probably be wise not to waste another second.

How awesome are this week's three best offers?

Motorola razr (2024)

5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, Android 14, MediaTek Dimensity 7300X Processor, 6.9-Inch Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2640 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 3.6-Inch AMOLED External Screen with 1066 x 1056 Pixel Resolution, 50 + 13MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Single Selfie Snapper, 4,200mAh Battery with 30W Charging Capabilities, Spritz Orange and Beach Sand Color Options

Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro)

Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, Apple A17 Pro Processor, 8.3-Inch Liquid Retina IPS LCD Screen with 2266 x 1488 Pixel Resolution, 12MP Rear Camera, 12MP Ultra-Wide Front Camera with Center Stage, Side-mounted Fingerprint Sensor, USB Type-C Port, All-Day Battery Life, Apple Intelligence Support, Wi-Fi 6E Connectivity, Four Color Options

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

5G, Unlocked, 512GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 7.6-Inch Main Foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X Display with 2160 x 1856 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 6.3-Inch Secondary Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X Screen with 2376 x 968 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Support, 50 + 10 + 12MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 4MP Under-Display Camera, 10MP Cover Camera, 4,400mAh Battery, Android 14, Galaxy AI, Three Color Options, No Trade-In Required

The short answer to that question is "very." The long answer starts with pointing out that Apple's upgraded 2024 iPad mini carries the same base price as its 2021 predecessor despite offering double the amount of internal storage space in addition to a lot more processing power and full Apple Intelligence support.

That makes Walmart's otherwise tiny $15 discount feel absolutely enormous, which is clearly what we can also say about Amazon's unprecedented $250 Motorola Razr (2024) price cut and Samsung's rare $650 (!!!) Galaxy Z Fold 6 markdown with 512GB storage and no trade-in required.

Incredibly enough, Motorola's newest non-Plus foldable is cheaper right now with no special requirements than it was with an obligatory Prime membership earlier this month. But the Z Fold 6 is still arguably the best foldable phone money can buy (in the US), especially at a bonkers discount that's higher than the full price of the Razr (2024) today.

These other smartphone deals are also pretty spectacular

Don't look now, but there's an avalanche of ultra-affordable Motorola handsets headed your way! Instead of moving out of its way, however, you should absolutely embrace it and decide what deeply discounted Moto G-series, Edge, or Razr device fits your needs and budget best.

I personally recommend the hot new Motorola Edge (2024) mid-ranger at a massive $200 discount or last year's Edge+ flagship at an even bigger $350 markdown, but you also can't go wrong with a dirt-cheap new Moto G Power, a slightly costlier Moto G Stylus 5G (2024), or a half-off Razr (2023) foldable.

Hardcore Samsung fans... who still can't afford the Galaxy Z Fold 6, meanwhile, should strongly consider the Galaxy Z Flip 6 (which has never been cheaper than right now), as well as the very recently released Galaxy S24 FE with a nice $100 Amazon gift card included and the brand's top Moto G Power and Moto G Stylus alternative in the Galaxy A35 5G.

Last but not least on this huge list of bargain-priced smartphones, the OnePlus 12 is set to receive a vastly improved sequel soon, which doesn't harm its mass appeal one bit at $150 under its regular price with a cool little gift also bundled in.

Here are five radically discounted tablets to take your breath away

OnePlus Pad

128GB Storage, 8GB RAM, 11.61-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology and 2800 x 2000 Pixel Resolution, MediaTek Dimensity 9000 Processor, 9,510mAh Battery with 67W Charging Support, 13MP Rear-Facing Camera, 8MP Front-Facing Camera, Halo Green Color, Free OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard Included

Apple iPad mini (6th Gen)

Wi-Fi Only, 64GB Storage, Apple A15 Bionic Processor, 8.3-Inch Liquid Retina IPS LCD Screen with 2266 x 1488 Pixel Resolution, 12MP Rear Camera, 12MP Front Camera, Side-mounted Fingerprint Sensor, USB Type-C Port, All-Day Battery Life, Four Color Options

Should you still consider the old iPad mini 6 a decent option for a Christmas gift after its sequel's release? At the right price, absolutely, and Amazon is currently listing this little guy at a pretty reasonable price. "Reasonable" also happens to be the Pixel Tablet's middle name, while the first-gen OnePlus Pad is simply too affordable to turn down... with a productivity-maximizing keyboard also thrown in.

Sorry, iPhone users, but our latest roundup of the best smartwatch deals around is all about Android-compatible devices ranging from budget-friendly to... budget-friendlier. 

Yes, even Samsung's hot new Galaxy Watch 7 in a 44mm size can be considered ultra-affordable at a 23 percent discount, while the old Galaxy Watch 6 and the relatively new and generally overlooked OnePlus Watch 2 and OnePlus Watch 2R seem almost unbelievably cheap for what they have to offer. This might be your toughest decision of them all...
