Is the holiday season officially underway? Probably not, but if you're the kind of person who views the end of a holiday shopping season as the beginning of the next one, you'll undoubtedly be delighted to see my latest week-ending collection of mobile tech deals and steals from across the interwebs including quite a few special offers with especially strong Black Friday vibes.

Can I guarantee any of the products I'm going to talk about in the following lines will not get deeper price cuts over the next few weeks? Obviously not. But my bargain hunter senses are tingling in the most delightful way over several of the greatest phones, tablets, smartwatches, and wireless earbuds money can buy right now, and if I were you, I wouldn't delay the start of my holiday shopping any longer, especially if you want to beat the crowds and cross everything off your list as early as possible.

These top three deals are simply epic

$300 off (27%)

With a 120Hz refresh rate-capable 6.3-inch OLED screen, Google Tensor G6 processor, 12GB RAM even in an entry-level 256GB storage configuration, three excellent rear-facing cameras, and a hefty 4,850mAh battery, the Pixel 11 Pro might just be the best compact Android phone around, and even though it's not Black Friday yet, the handset's price is marked down by a mind-blowing $300 already in all variants and color options.

$450 off (32%)

If you hurry, you can get the gargantuan 6.9-inch Galaxy S26 Ultra with built-in Privacy Display functionality, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, four extraordinary rear-facing cameras, a 5,000mAh battery equipped with 60W charging technology, pretty much unrivaled long-term software support, and a bundled S Pen at a $450 discount that's unlikely to be eclipsed this holiday season.

$300 off (16%)

If you're looking for a trendy passport-style foldable that's probably not going to crack after a few hours (or even a few months) of use, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is definitely the way to go right now at a sweet $300 discount. This model packs the same state-of-the-art Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor as the Z Fold 8 Ultra, and its 7.6 and 5.5-inch AMOLED screens with 120Hz refresh rate technology are clearly no pushovers by any standard.

I may not have a (functional) crystal ball that can tell me exactly what's going to happen around Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I do have a strong feeling in my gut that the Pixel 11 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra won't be discounted more steeply than today anytime soon. How could they when Amazon's latest promotions are already better than what the e-commerce giant offered Prime subscribers last month?

The cool thing about those two products, of course, is that they're clearly two of the best Android phones out there, and naturally, the same goes for Samsung's first-of-a-kind Galaxy Z Fold 8, which is itself available at a massive discount that's probably going to be incredibly hard to eclipse... without an obligatory trade-in, at least.

The Z Fold 8's already great appeal, mind you, has further been boosted by Apple's iPhone Duo durability issues, which are unlikely to go away at any point in the near future and may well get worse with time.

Many of these other smartphone offers are also super-difficult to turn down

$199 ⁹⁹

$299 ⁹⁹

$100 off (33%)

Whether you appreciated the Moto G Power (2025) back when it was commercially released or not, you should definitely relish the opportunity to save $100 on such a respectable Android mid-ranger in late 2026 AND get a pair of complimentary Moto Buds 2 as well. The 6.8-inch handset comes with a silky smooth 120Hz refresh rate-capable IPS LCD screen, reasonably powerful MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, 8GB RAM count, and perhaps most importantly, a large 5,000mAh battery supporting 30W wired and 15W wireless charging technology.

$299 ⁹⁹

$399 ⁹⁹

$100 off (25%)

Last year's 5G-enabled Moto G Stylus mid-ranger is obviously slightly humbler than this year's edition, but it's also a lot more affordable, especially at a cool new $100 discount with a $150-worth pair of Moto Buds 2 Plus included as well. The built-in pen is obviously the key selling point here, closely followed by a surprisingly high-quality 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate capabilities, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, and a 5,000mAh battery supporting up to 68W blazing fast charging.

Buy at Motorola

$200 off (25%)

Should you consider last year's "vanilla" Pixel 10 this holiday shopping season? If you're on too tight of a budget to afford the Pixel 11, absolutely, especially after the Pixel 10a's recent permanent price hike. The Pixel 10 is still normally available at $799, and currently marked down by $200 in an entry-level 128GB storage configuration with 12GB RAM also on deck.

$200 off (22%)

The humblest and cheapest member of this year's family of Google-made handsets is obviously costlier than the "vanilla" Pixel 10, even at a hefty new $200 discount in all color options. But the Pixel 11 starts at 256GB internal storage space instead of just 128 gigs, retaining its predecessor's 12GB RAM count while obviously packing a newer and faster Tensor G6 processor as well.

$100 off (13%)

Samsung's latest (and greatest) Fan Edition handset is not quite as affordable as the brand's hardcore fans may have hoped a few months ago, but at least it's $100 cheaper than usual with 256 gigs of internal storage space in a single Blueberry colorway. The S26 FE is a decidedly high-end model with a gorgeous 6.7-inch AMOLED screen in tow, as well as three more than respectable cameras slapped on its back, and a generously sized 4,900mAh battery supporting 45W charging technology.

$211 off (21%)

At a retail price of $999.99 and up, the 6.3-inch Galaxy S26 is clearly not very affordable, but for a presumably limited time only, you can save a cool $210 on an entry-level 256GB storage variant in a black colorway with no special requirements and no strings attached. Despite its small size (by 2026 standards), the S26 packs an ultra-powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and a not-too-shabby 4,300mAh battery... especially for its razor-thin 7.2mm profile.

$799 ⁹⁹

$1499 ⁹⁹

$700 off (47%)

It is truly mind-blowing how a sophisticated foldable with 7 and 4-inch screens in tow supporting cutting-edge 165Hz refresh rate technology, a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and most impressively, 1TB internal storage space paired with 16GB RAM can STILL be had at a lower price than many conventional Android high-enders out there. For the umpteenth time in recent months, the Razr Ultra (2025) is not only marked down by an incredible $700 in its most advanced configuration, also including a pair of $99-worth Moto Buds 2 at no extra charge.

Buy at Motorola

$350 off (27%)

If you're into jumbo-sized handsets with ultra-advanced specs and prefer Google's in-house designs over Samsung's Android flagships, the Pixel 11 Pro XL is without a doubt your best Galaxy S26 Ultra alternative right now at an unprecedented $350 discount. This 6.8-inch bad boy comes with a triple rear-facing camera system composed of a 50MP sensor and two 48MP lenses, as well as around 5,100mAh battery capacity, 45W charging support, and of course, seven major guaranteed OS updates.

$250 off (12%)

If you don't like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 for some reason and can't afford the Z Fold 8 Ultra, you don't necessarily have to "settle" for the seemingly flawed iPhone Duo. Instead, you can go for a 512GB Pixel 11 Pro Fold at a new record high discount of $250 with a nice book-style design, two humongous OLED screens, a powerful Tensor G6 processor, excellent cameras, and respectable 4,800mAh or so battery capacity.

Just like their Pro brother, the "vanilla" Pixel 11, the jumbo-sized 11 Pro XL, and the iPhone Duo-rivaling Pixel 11 Pro Fold are all on sale at unprecedented and possibly unbeatable discounts right now. Which one would I choose? Still the Pixel 11 Pro, but the Pixel 11 Pro XL is definitely a very close second and a top option for buyers who think "bigger is better."

The non-Plus and non-Ultra Galaxy S26, of course, is for an entirely different type of user, and the same goes for last year's non-Pro Pixel 10. Then you have the Galaxy S26 FE for fans of gargantuan phones on relatively tight budgets, as well as last year's Moto G Power and Moto G Stylus mid-rangers for the most cash-strapped holiday shoppers around.

These deals are not completely new, mind you, but that doesn't make them bad, and the same is obviously true for last year's Razr Ultra foldable, which is massively discounted with 1TB storage for about the hundredth time of late.

This week's best tablet promotions shouldn't be disregarded either

$90 off (24%)

This is not a tablet that's in the spotlight much, but it definitely should be, bridging the gap between its product category and the e-book reader segment with proprietary TCL NXTPAPER screen technology while also packing a more than respectable 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage space. Incredibly enough, the device currently marked down by 90 bucks from an already very reasonable list price of $369.99 for Amazon Prime members only comes with a stylus and a case as well.

$399 ⁹⁹

$549 ⁹⁹

$150 off (27%)

The latest Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 deal comes with a "Black Friday price guarantee", which means that you probably won't be able to save more than $150 on this very well-equipped 13-incher by the end of the holiday season. In addition to a large, sharp, and silky smooth screen, the Android 16-based slate also has a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor going for it, as well as four powerful speakers, and incredibly enough, a Lenovo Tab Pen Plus included in its heavily reduced price.

$599 ⁹⁹

$729 ⁹⁹

$130 off (18%)

Equipped with a 144Hz refresh rate-capable 11.1-inch screen, MediaTek Dimensity 9500s processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB internal storage space, four speakers, 11,000mAh battery capacity, and pre-installed Android 17 software, the Yoga Tab Gen 2 is one of the tablet market's greatest value propositions today, especially at a cool $130 discount. The impressively affordable high-end (ish) slate amazingly includes both a keyboard and stylus at no extra charge, and believe it or not, Lenovo is promising to deliver a grand total of seven major OS upgrades down the line.

$799 ⁹⁹

$999 ⁹⁹

$200 off (20%)

The 13-inch Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 is not just bigger than its non-Plus-branded sibling but also better in many key departments, with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 12GB RAM, six Harman Kardon speakers, and a 12,700mAh battery on deck. Obviously, that raises the list price too, but right now, you can save $200 without jumping through any hoops as part of one of the greatest early tablet holiday offers out there.

$500 off (24%)

Probably the best thing you can replace your Windows laptop with also runs Windows on the software side of things while packing a Snapdragon X2 Elite processor and a zippy 1TB SSD paired with 16GB RAM in a top-of-the-line configuration marked down by a substantial $500 from an... arguably extravagant $2,099.99 list price. Platinum is the only color option available at that killer discount, and the Surface Pro (2026) sports a beautiful 13-inch OLED touchscreen in this variant as well.

Not if you're aware that Lenovo is currently the hottest tablet vendor in the world... for a very good reason. And that reason is perfectly illustrated by the company's Idea Tab Pro Gen 2, Yoga Tab Gen 2, and Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 at their latest excellent discounts.

These upper mid-range and lower high-end (is that even a category?) devices are simply unbeaten in terms of value for money today, and the only decent alternatives I can recommend this week are the lower-cost TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus and the Surface Pro (2026), which might be the best tablet in the world in late 2026. Yes, even better than Apple's newest iPad Pro generation, and definitely better than Samsung's Galaxy Tab S12+ and Tab S12 Ultra.

Now this is a rich and eclectic collection of smartwatch bargains!

$50 off (33%)

This is not a very high-profile smartwatch that's in the spotlight a lot, but at a massive 33 percent discount, it's certainly worth taking into consideration by the most cash-strapped holiday shoppers out there. Even without Wear OS, the Moto Watch holds quite a few advantages over most other ultra-affordable wearables out there, starting with an absolutely exceptional battery life rating of up to 13 days. And the design is certainly not bad either... for the newly reduced price, especially.

$119

$199 ⁹⁹

$81 off (40%)

Will Samsung ever release a second Galaxy Watch Fan Edition? Nobody knows, but until that happens, bargain hunters might want to strongly consider getting the original Galaxy Watch FE at an $80 discount that's definitely not unprecedented but that might well go away for good soon. This is by no means an ugly smartwatch, mind you, and its health monitoring and fitness tracking skills are also overall better than you think.

$132 off (44%)

Like most other Garmin wearables, the Vivoactive 5 shines in the battery life department, promising to keep the lights on for up to 11 days on a single charge. That's with an excellent AMOLED touchscreen in tow, mind you, as well as a surprisingly stylish overall design and such advanced health monitoring tools as Body Battery, stress tracking, and Pulse Ox.

$100 off (25%)

Just like the brand's newest in-house smartphones, Google's latest and greatest smartwatch is also on sale at a Black Friday-grade discount that's unlikely to be eclipsed by the end of the holiday shopping season. You can save an unprecedented $100 on your favorite Pixel Watch 5 model (if you hurry), and although the new device looks very similar to the Pixel Watch 4 at first glance, some of its internal upgrades are undoubtedly major.

$250 off (28%)

This isn't Apple's latest and greatest rugged smartwatch, but... it's close, and at a massive $250 discount in a luxury version with a robust titanium case and a titanium Milanese Loop in tow, it's incredibly hard to turn down by adventurers and lovers of the great outdoors. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 not only offers 4G LTE and 5G connectivity as standard, but satellite communications support as well.

Yes, this list (almost) has it all despite only consisting of five names. But you've got five different brands to choose from, five different price points, and four different software platforms, not to mention both rugged and non-rugged designs.

If you're an iPhone user, I really can't recommend the super-strong Apple Watch Ultra 3 warmly enough at a killer $250 discount in an especially eye-catching version, while Android users definitely have a harder choice to make... in the best way possible.

At $100 off its list price, the Pixel Watch 5 would probably be my number one pick today, especially if I was a Pixel phone owner, but the widely disregarded Moto Watch, the widely forgotten Galaxy Watch FE, and the widely disregarded and forgotten Garmin Vivoactive 5 are all amazing deals for professional bargain hunters at their latest markdowns.

And these deeply discounted earbuds clearly deserve your attention too

$89

$129 ⁹⁹

$41 off (32%)

The AirPods 5 are obviously better than the AirPods 4, but at a $40 discount from an already fairly reasonable list price of $129.99, you really can't argue with the bang for buck delivered by Apple's older wireless earbuds right now in a non-noise-cancelling version. Mind, even this AirPods 4 model packs an Apple H2 chip and promises to offer up to five hours of Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking support between charges, as well as 30 hours of listening time with the USB-C charging case also factored in.

$70 off (41%)

Looking for an affordable pair of noise-cancelling earbuds compatible with both iPhones and Android handsets? Apple's Beats Studio Buds Plus might be perfect for you right now at a substantial $70 discount in no less than three color options, including a very eye-catching Ivory and a distinctive Transparent flavor.

$119 ⁹⁷

$179

$59 off (33%)

With both active noise cancellation and a wireless charging case, this version of the 2024-released AirPods 4 is a total must-buy ahead of this year's holidays at a substantial $60 discount. Better Black Friday deals might be on the horizon, but the product could also be discontinued altogether soon, so the risk of waiting a few more weeks is unlikely to pay off.

$60 off (26%)

Google's latest high-end wireless earbuds go great with not just the company's Pixel handsets but Android phones from all other brands as well, especially when you can get them at a $60 discount with no strings attached. Available in four different colorways, these bad boys obviously come with active noise cancellation, as well as super-premium audio, excellent battery life, decent water resistance, and a bunch of neat AI tricks up their sleeve.

Once again, I have a list for you that covers a surprisingly large amount of ground and all kinds of different preferences despite including just four, nay, three product names.

The Beats Studio Buds Plus are perfect for agnostic wireless earbuds buyers, the AirPods 4 can help you save a few bucks over the newer and slightly better AirPods 5, and last but certainly not least, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are... not as affordable as I would have wished, but significantly cheaper than the likes of Samsung's Galaxy Buds 4 Pro this week and thus really hard to resist as well.
