Well, there you have it – Black Friday sales for 2025 are officially over. Or maybe not?
Some retailers have extended their sales – and that's excellent news for the bargain hunter. If you still have those last-minute items you were sure about, now would be a good time to bag them.
While many of the sale prices are still going strong, we've seen some price increases. That's not a bad thing, and there are items that, despite being a touch more expensive, are still worth every cent. And that's what we've kept in mind while tracking the price changes from the Cyber Weekend to post Black Friday – if an offer is worth it at a slightly higher price, we will tell you about it.

One of the best cheap phones in Australia, this Motorola handset is packed full of value if you don't need the latest and bestest phone on the market. For your money, you get a vivid display, impressive battery life and very good everyday performance. Don't expect it to handle heavy gaming, but its plenty for the average user.

The Google Pixel 9a is still a respectable entry level-premium option with a great camera and long-term support. Our reviewer found its camera provides some of the best macro photography capabilities anywhere, and that it boasts the same Tensor G4 chip found in the more expensive Pixel 9 models. It’s worth noting that while there will likely be a Pixel 10a sometime in the first quarter of 2026, the Pixel 9a is still good value.

Already listed at a discounted price, just use eBay's current FRIYAY20 or FRIYAY22 (depending on whether you're a Plus member or not) to score the full discount. We said this device "beats your excuses for not buying a flip phone" in our 4.5-star Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 review. It offers incredible performance, long battery life and a beautiful design that's plenty durable with its titanium build. While it lacks a zoom lens, our biggest complaint had previously been its price. It’s an easy recommendation with this deal, though.

If you want to buy this phone outright, The Good Guys currently has the best price, which is being matched by other retailers. However, if you're happy to purchase this handset on a plan, Optus is offering the iPhone 16e for AU$200 if you sign up to an eligible 36-month plan. Sitting somewhere between the previous iPhone SE and its flagship iPhone 16 sibling, this 2025 release offers the Apple experience with a few less bells and whistles in exchange for a reduced price tag. Its smaller form factor (6.1-inch screen size) may also be appealing to fans of the iPhone minis of yore.

Admittedly this is a disappointing discount, but there hasn't been a price drop of note for this amazing phone all through November. So when there's a little over AU$100 off, it needs to be brought to your notice. We believe this model offers the best cameras of any Android with its 200MP (wide) + 50MP (ultra-wide) + 10MP telephoto setup. It also boasts an incredibly long-lasting battery life and stunning display.

Samsung's alternative to Apple's AirTag was redesigned in 2023 and has been reasonably well received, making it a good Bluetooth tracker for non-Apple users. It'll let you keep tabs on the location of whatever you attach it to and, critically, it works with Android. It costs a little more than a single AirTag at full price, but this discount makes it easy to recommend.
Want a few of these? The 4-pack is down to AU$89, which means a single SmartTag is just AU$22.25.
Read moreRead less▼
If you've been looking for a set of tracking tags perfect for the Apple ecosystem, AirTags are your best bet, and although this 16% discount isn't much, it's about the usual offer we've typically seen on Apple's Bluetooth tracker set. This means each tracker is just AU$34.49 and a lot cheaper than just buying a single unit.

Hate carrying cables? This handy little accessory doesn't need them, as it's able to deliver a charge to your iPhone (12 or later) using the magnetic MagSafe tech on the back. The 5,000 mAh capacity is enough to bring most iPhones from 20% back to a full charge, and it’s small enough to slip in a pocket. This is just AU$10 more than the sale price from October's Prime Day sale.
Tablets & ereaders

While this is a lot higher than the Black Friday price, this discount is still worth considering if you want a premium Android tablet experience on a budget price. It comes with the S Pen, which makes it suitable for artists and notetakers, adding value to what is still quite a powerful slate. Plus, Samsung has guaranteed security updates for the Galaxy Tab S9 until 2028, so it still has a couple years of life left in it.
Read moreRead less▼
Admittedly not a big discount at all, but any saving on an iPad is, I think, worth considering. This compact iPad has a slightly more powerful chip under the hood than the entry-level iPad. With Apple Pencil and Smart Folio support, this 8.3-inch slate is not just portable, but would be a handy device to have if you're working on the go.
Read moreRead less▼
The base model of this 2025 iPad (aka the 128GB Wi-Fi version) is no longer available at a good discount, but this offer on the Cellular 256GB option is worth calling out as it gets the bigger discount compared to the 512GB Wi-Fi edition. Powered by the A16 chip, this is a fantastic tablet for most users, unless you want a laptop-replacing powerhouse.
Read moreRead less▼
This discount is via a marketplace (third-party) listing on Kogan, but it's still a deal worth highlighting because we love the DeX mode for excellent desktop-style browsing, and the inclusion of an S Pen for note-taking and drawing is a game changer. Moreover, don't be fooled by the FE styling because there is some serious grunt under that hood to handle more than just streaming and basic browsing.
Read moreRead less▼
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is a powerful tablet, boasting a huge 14.6-inch AMOLED screen with an impressive 120Hz refresh rate. It's well-designed for browsing online, sketching, or watching your favourite shows, but it's also perfectly capable of being a complete laptop replacement once paired with a keyboard. The S11 Ultra has been out for a little while, but we feel comfortable recommending the older model at this price.
Read moreRead less▼
A much better discount than the 17% saving we saw in October, the 2024 Paperwhite is one of the best Kindles you can get. Its E Ink Carta 1300 screen is fantastic, page turns are quick and we gave it 4 stars in our review. My only complaint with it is that a significant chunk of its 16GB storage is taken up by the OS, which won't necessarily be a deal breaker for most users. This Kindle is already at an all-time low price on Amazon, but click on the price-beat button at The Good Guys and you'll save an additional AU$40.

Want to read in colour? The Kindle Colorsoft is one of the best ereaders with a colour display, even offering a feature to make the hues more vivid. As noted in our Kindle Colorsoft review, once you experience a colour ereader of the Colorsoft's quality, it's hard to go back. I'd be hard pressed to recommend it at its full price, but this is an all time low price.
Read moreRead less▼
Kindles are known for their reading capabilities, but with the Kindle Scribe, you get that and a whole lot more. With a wide range of writing features, you can take notes, create sketches and brainstorm like a pro. I use it every day and love the 10.2-inch glare-free screen that has its own ambient light sensor to adjust screen brightness automatically, and I can't complain about its battery life either. And the base 16GB models are back in stock.

This is a fantastic deal on Sony's flagship in-ears. With very good sound, incredible comfort, and some of the best battery life on any earbuds with ANC, the WF-1000XM5 are a steal at this price.
Read moreRead less▼
45% off these fantastic buds is definitely a deal worth checking out what has been one of the best true wireless buds until the second-generation was released. Its ANC performance is par excellence and, being Bose, it doesn't compromise on sound either. Standout is the feature called Immersive Audio that makes a huge difference if you like your music 'surrounding' you.
Read moreRead less▼
Offering “incredible sound”, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have all the power and quality you’d expect from a Bose-branded item while providing the benefits of an open-ear form factor. The Immersive sound is excellent, and there’s also up to seven hours of play time and up to 48 hours of standby time. They simply just work and work very well. While the 28% discount here is good, they were going cheaper at a 37% markdown on the Moonstone Blue and Iridescent Sunset colourways in October.
Read moreRead less▼
Despite having first launched in 2020, we still think the Sony XM4s offer the best bang for your buck of any pair of over ear headphones available today. They deliver excellent sound, effective noise cancellation, heaps of useful features and they even fold away for easy travelling. Now a lot higher than the AU$250 discount direct from Sony, but still worth every cent.
Read moreRead less▼
Thanks to a further price drop, the QC Ultra are now AU$11 more than the lowest price we've seen, making this quite the bargain on what is arguably still one of the best ANC cans on the market. Their sound quality is nothing short of exquisite, and the ability to turn any song into a spatial audio one thanks to Immersive Mode earns it another gold star.
Read moreRead less▼
We thought these cans were overpriced in our Dyson OnTrac review, but appreciated that the British brand has done a far better job on its second set of headphones than the Zone. While sound is lovely, there are others who do it better, but just being able to customise the headphones might well be worth the cash.
Read moreRead less▼
Arguably one of the best headphones we've tested with Dolby Atmos support, the Sonos Ace is also one of the better-looking and more comfortable cans. If you've been eying them for a while, this offer is too good to turn down. Use the price-beat button and you can save another AU$5 on this.

The JBL Grip plugs the gap between the smaller Clip and formidable Flip. In our review, we are impressed by the big sound, the impressive protection against dust and water and the nifty LED lighting on its rear. And with up to 14 hours of playback on a single charge, this ain't too bad if you want something cheaper than the Flip 7 or the Charge 6.
Read moreRead less▼
This relatively new Bluetooth speaker has been discounted to AU$157 before, making this deal an even better price. We gave the JBL Flip 7 a full five stars in our review and noted that the sound is a lot punchier than the previous model, plus it gets a bigger battery that lasts up to 16 hours.
Read moreRead less▼
Clean, detailed sound, full protection against dust and water and all packaged in a gorgeous body, the Bose SoundLink Flex is a Bluetooth speaker you'll want to take with you everywhere you go. Nearly all the colourways were going for AU$152 in July, so this offer is almost as good.
Read moreRead less▼
As we found in our LG xboom Grab review, the South Korean's re-entry to Bluetooth speakers is largely a success, as this portable model does an awful lot to pose a genuine challenge to JBL. Not only does it sound superb, but its packed with features, including integrated straps for connecting to surfaces and a beat-matching LED light.
Read moreRead less▼
We gave this new speaker 5 stars in our JBL Charge 6 review and said that if you want big, high-quality sound for a great price, it's unbeatable. We haven't seen much in the way of discounts for the Charge 6 before now and this price is much cheaper than the AU$185 lowest it dropped during Prime Day last month.

The Beats Pill is a sturdy, classy portable speaker that you can use anywhere from the living room to the poolside, thanks to its IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating. It also has a substantial 24-hour battery life, so you can listen for a long time without worrying about recharging. Importantly, it's AU$20 cheaper than it's previous low price earlier this year and available in all colour options from JB Hi-Fi.
Read moreRead less▼
It might be expensive compared to other Bluetooth speakers you can get, but if you want big and punchy sound, this is the party speaker you should reach for. It will even charge your handheld devices for you thanks to its two-way USB-C port. Bose wraps up excellent sound quality and an enjoyable user experience in an attractive, outdoor-friendly package that's now at its lowest price when purchased directly from Bose and using our unique 10% off Bose coupon code.

The B5 is LG's entry-level model, but don't think it's not a capable performer, as it's still an excellent screen. And, in this 65-inch guise, coupled with its wealth of gaming support, it makes for a fantastic addition to a smaller room or as a gaming TV. Read our full LG B5 review for a full rundown on its capabilities.
Read moreRead less▼
The S90F is the step-down model from the S95F, but in terms of overall performance, there's not a whole lot in it. So, if your budget can't quite stretch to the flagship, you won't be disappointed with this model. Plus, you can get in a larger size for less. You get an Anti-Glare screen, sumptuous colours and a gorgeous, slim design.

First off, the list price at Appliance Central is already a discounted amount – the 65-inch C5 retails for AU$4,295. Secondly, this has gone much lower in price in recent months, but if you missed out then, this is still a good discount for what is one of the finest screens to be released in 2025. The C5 continues where the company's excellent C4 left off, serving up superb colours, brightness and contrast, resulting in a TV that's perfect for most homes. It's a good-looking TV and has a wealth of gaming features.

In our Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar review, we said this soundbar rivals the Sonos Arc – the best Sonos soundbar on offer. It's compact, beautifully built, and offers plenty of control options to go with its wide, detailed sound.

A decent saving here on LG's 9.1.5-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar, making it a deal you really should pay attention to. It's a genuinely great and immersive soundbar. The wireless subwoofer delivers thunderous bass, while the soundbar and rear speakers work in unison to deliver effective and authentic Dolby Atmos soundtracks.

This upgraded model of the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is one of the best-value streaming sticks, especially for Amazon customers who appreciate Alexa. It supports 4K ultra HD resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR10 Plus and Dolby Atmos audio – plus cloud gaming via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Use it to access popular streaming subscriptions like Netflix, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus and more.

This compact machine has a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU paired with 16GB of RAM, and can happily take on your daily workload. It also has premium extras such as a 16:10 (1920 x 1200) 13.3-inch touchscreen display with a high 400-nit brightness and 100% sRGB colour reproduction, and a facial-recognition webcam.

The MacBook Air M4 often goes on sale, but this 21% saving has certainly caught our attention. Want to know more about the laptop? Take a look at our MacBook Air 15-inch M4 review for the full insight, but all that goodness packed into a smaller 13-inch frame.

The Dell 16 Plus launched at AU$2,600, then dropped to AU$2,099 not long after, then AU$1,598.30, and now you can get it for AU$1,517.39 using the code FUTURE5% at checkout. That's not bad for this powerful laptop – especially since it has a 2560x1600 display, plus extras like Thunderbolt 4 USB-C and Wi-Fi 7.

This versatile 2-in-1 features the latest Series 2 Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor backed up by 32GB of RAM and a large 1TB SSD. The 16-inch (2880 x 1800) 120Hz OLED touchscreen display folds back through 360 degrees and works with the Lenovo pen for writing and drawing. You also get extras like an IR facial recognition webcam, dual Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports and a decently large 70Wh battery. That's a lot of laptop for the money!

This gaming laptop launched back in early June and has been AU$2,599.6 until recently, but has now dropped to AU$1,999.80. You can now also get an extra 13% off using the code FUTURE13% – bringing the price down to the lowest we have seen. This model only has a TGP of 80W, so it's slower than a 115W TGP RTX 5060, but it's still a reasonable deal for the specs if you want a more efficient but gaming capable machine with a big 16-inch, 2560 x 1600 120Hz display.
Read moreRead less▼
As long you keep the graphics settings at moderate, this impressive laptop will deliver playable frames for as long as you need. It has a large 15.6-inch screen and its Intel Core i5-13420H CPU plus RTX 3050 GPU all match well. Hard to complain for deal this price.
Read moreRead less▼
While it's marketed as more of a 'lifestyle' machine (which just means it's thin, light and aesthetically designed) but it's still got solid gaming talents, as long as you don't expect to play the latest games in the highest detail. The 144Hz screen is also a nice addition.
Read moreRead less▼
It comes with a beastly cost, even with a massive AU$2,500 discount, but this is a beast of a machine, too. Basically...it offers the best of everything. That means an RTX5090, an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, 65GB of RAM and 2x2TB of SSD storage. Everything else is top-tier, too, including Wi-Fi 7 and a huge 18-inch miniLED screen.

This could well be an all-time low for the PS5 Slim digital console. If you've yet to jump aboard the PlayStation bandwagon, you probably won't get a better chance this year. To reiterate, however, this is the digital edition, so no physical games are allowed. Digital copies can often cost more, so you’ll want to factor this in. Be sure to use the checkout code PS5CON for the full discount.

If you’ve been hesitant to invest in the PSVR 2 at its full price, this Black Friday deal brings it down to a more accessible price point. Offering a seamless gateway to VR gaming when connected to a PS5, it’s a no-brainer if you're not too keen on the Meta Quest 3S (above). eBay Plus members can save an additional AU$50 with code BLK25 and can have this for just AU$467.

When it launched, our friends over at PC Gamer thought this this curved QD-OLED display was the best gaming monitor you could buy. In fact, we awarded it five stars in our Philips Evnia 34M2C8600 review, too. This 34-inch curved display has a 175Hz refresh rate, DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 for some stunningly deep blacks, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support.

This 32-inch affair is one of our fave gaming monitors, and if you don't trust me check out the 92 / 100 review from PC Gamer. The display uses Samsung's QD-OLED tech and pumps out a sharp 4K resolution with an uber-smooth 240Hz refresh rate, with AMD FreeSync and G-Sync support. Use the code FUTURE11% at checkout to get the full discount here.

It might not be a massive upgrade over the standard DualSense controller but then it's better built and its textured touchpad is an excellent addition. There are also two options for those remappable buttons on the rear that are removable if you won't use them. Plus the Edge-specific interface gives you plenty of customisations for the buttons via the Function paddles.

Looking to make more room on your desk? 65% keyboards are all the rage these days, and this from Asus streamlines things even further thanks to its low profile optical switches. A favourite among gamers, the Asus ROG Falchion RX version that's discounted here offers pre-lubed red linear switches and RGB lighting for some added style.

JBL’s Quantum 100M2 gives new gamers an easy, low-cost way into headset audio. You don’t get many add-ons, but you do get steady low latency sound and a boom mic that keeps your voice clear in chat. While we have seen the headset slightly cheaper before, this is still a solid deal.

This is JBL's mid-range gaming headset, and while we haven't reviewed the standard 360, you can read our JBL Quantum 360X review (the version aimed at Xbox players) and our JBL Quantum 360P review (aimed at PlayStation gamers). The headsets are mostly the same except that the Xbox and PlayStation-oriented models are optimised for console play. The black is now out of stock, but the other three colourways are the same price.

Widely considered a return to form – we agree! Awarding it four stars in our Battlefield 6 review, we fell in love with its fun multiplayer (though its campaign is middling). Just weeks after it launched, this discount makes it incredibly attractive.

Perhaps the best RPG of 2025 alongside Clair Obscur, this is a fantastic discount if you've been holding off on trying it out. It's unforgiving in combat, with a near sim level of dedication to reality. It's also happens to be one of the prettiest games you can play on PS5.

"One of the best games I’ve played this year" is what our tester had to say in our Ghost of Yotei review. Its as stylish as the original – from cinematography to its map – with a beautiful, dense world, top-tier environmental design and an intriguing story to go with its incredibly smooth combat.

Everyone's favourite open-world Mafia drama series returns, as we head back to Italy to learn the origins of the family we know. It left us wanting more, but sometimes that's a good thing.

Do you want to ride a dragon, become a sausage and sizzle on a bbq or beat a monkey in a dance battle? Split fiction offers all that and a whole heap more. We fell in love with its (almost) endless array of game mechanics, stunning level design and epic crescendo that seamlessly blends cinematics and gameplay in our Split Fiction review. In terms of co-op gaming, it doesn't get better.

Our recently published Shark PowerPro review called it the best value vacuum the tester had ever tried and that's high praise indeed. It's also a newer budget model, so it takes advantage of the latest tech for a better clean. If there was any affordable cordless vacuum I would highly recommend, it would be this. Hit the price beat button on The Good Guys to get it for AU$273.
Read moreRead less▼
Taking everything that makes the standard Shark PowerPro one of the best affordable cordless vauum cleaners, but adding a bendy wand to get under furniture and headlights on the cleaning head to reveal all the dirt it needs to clean up, there's probably better value for money here for some users who'll take full advantage of the extra features.
Read moreRead less▼
It's the auto-emptying version of this cordless vacuum that I rank as the #1 best vacuum in Australia, but if you don't need that feature, this is arguably one of the best deals I can recommend on a powerful machine. You'll get up to 70 minutes of runtime, plus a bendy wand to get under furniture, and there's dynamic suction for the best clean possible.
Read moreRead less▼
With powerful and dynamic suction, plenty of attachments and an auto-empty charging dock, this is arguably the best value non-Dyson cordless vacuum right now. And there are no ongoing expenses here either because you won't need to buy dust bags. Just be sure to wash out the dust box in the dock and let it dry fully before popping it back for use again. While often sold around the AU$750 price point, this is the cheapest we have seen the PowerDetect Clean & Empty.
Read moreRead less▼
This offer was AU$809 previously, then AU$799 on Amazon, which makes this one of the best prices we've seen to date! The Gen5detect Absolute is arguably the best value Dyson right now, with better suction than any that came before. You'll get 2 cleaning heads and 3 additional tools in the box, which isn't bad at all.
Read moreRead less▼
Dyson’s original wet-dry cordless vacuum has dropped to a record-low price – and it's not even Black Friday yet! Well, you have to jump through a couple of hoops to get that discount, but hey, you can't tell me it's not worth it. It will work as a standalone vacuum or as a standalone mop, meaning it will suit most households with mixed flooring. It does both remarkably well, but watch out for the dirty-water dripping out of the Submarine cleaning head after you've finished your chores. Use the price-beat option at The Good Guys and this could be yours for just AU$783.

If you live in a large home, having a high-capacity dust canister on your cordless vacuum cleaner is handy. Dyson's Gen5outsize comes with a bigger bin that's 150% larger than the usual Dyson ones, plus larger cleaning heads to get the job done faster. You even get a bigger battery that promises up to 70 minutes of fade-free power. However, that bigger battery and larger fixtures makes this a heavy machine, so it might be unwieldy for some users.

In our Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni review, in which it scored an impressive 4.5-star score, we called it a "chatty all-in-one robot vacuum that cleans better than most others". It's biggest drawback is its regular price, but this deal takes care of that – letting you enjoy its strong suction, efficient edge cleaning, effective mopping and smart navigation.
Read moreRead less▼
I'm testing this machine right now and I'll have a full review soon, but if there's any robovac that combines good looks with top-notch performance, it's this one. In fact, it's cleaning better than the Deebot X8 listed above, and the only reason I would consider docking marks is the price point.
Read moreRead less▼
When it comes to innovation in robot vacuums, I think the latest flagship in the Ecovacs range is the highlight. It's the world's first robovac to have fast-charging capabilities so it can work for longer, plus its base station completely does away with dust bags, reducing your ongoing costs. It can even wash the roller mop while it's fully soaked in hot water. It's still an expensive robot vacuum, but there's nothing quite like it right now – not at this price.

This tiny camera has a massive 8K resolution, giving you plenty of head room to edit in post production. Plus, the flip-up screen is perfect for vloggers, while its rugged body allows you to go anywhere to film anything without too much worry. Its image quality is fantastic as well and I know some of my colleagues keen on photography are partial to it, and even better, the price is now back down to the previous lowest discount.

Officially, this film camera-inspired digital version is called the X-HF1, but it made headlines as the X Half. If you're a film photography buff but don't have the cash to spend on rolls (and the subsequent processing of the negatives), this is one offer not to be missed.

It was AU$1,099 from Amazon earlier in the Black Friday sale, but that deal sold out fast and the best price going is now from CameraPro. However, tack on a AU$100 cashback offer from Canon via redemption and you end up saving AU$404 in total. With a larger 1.4-inch sensor that boasts Canon's trusty Dual Pixel CMOS II autofocus with face and eye detection for humans, cats and dogs, it also has an integrated fan and plenty of power – perfect for a content creator.

There's plenty of features that you get on this entry-level camera that will help you hone your skills, meaning you get a lot of bang for your buck with the 24.2MP EOS R8. Up to 40fps burst speed, fantastic autofocus and a lightweight body too. Plus you get a lens to get started. Note: this offer is from a third-party reseller on Amazon and won't qualify for Canon's cashback offer. And no other retailer currently comes close to this price, even with the cashback.

This 61MP full-framer has Sony's AI-based AF system and 8K video capabilities (albeit at 24fps) on board, but its high res sensor is best suited to the landscape photographer. There's even up to 8 stops of image stabilisation to keep it steady while on the move. Note, however, that this isn't as good a discount as the 21% might seem as the street price of the A7R V body is about AU$4,999 (and Sony has it listed for AU$4,599). But this slightly lower price tag at CameraPro is the best offer this Black Friday on this body.

Who said bridge cameras were dead? If you're planning in heading out on a safari or you want a simple point-and-shoot with DSLR styling, this 18MP camera has 1/2.3-inch sensor, a USB-C port for charging and a 2,360K-dot OLED EVF that's better than before. It also gets an upgraded rear LCD with 1,840K dots resolution – basically it's an updated version of a very old bridge camera. You also get 60x optical zoom via its 20-200mm fixed lens.

The S9 is a compact rangefinder-like camera that's got some serious video skills. On board is 'open gate' 6K video recording with very effective image stabilization and Real Time LUTs. Panasonic's custom colour profiles are next level, plus it has a new MP4 Lite format for 4K videos that are smaller and quicker to process than MP4. It also happens to be the smallest full-frame camera from Panasonic yet.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, Watch Ultra and Galaxy Ring: save up to 40% at Samsung Australia
Aiming to level up your health this Black Friday? Samsung's official AU store has deals galore on fitness tech. You can get up to AU$279.65 off one of the market's best smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 8, and AU$454.65 off its more premium Ultra counterpart. For something more lowkey, the Galaxy Ring has been cut by AU$279.60 and we think it's the best smart ring you can buy.

Samsung makes some of the best Android smartwatches in the market and the Galaxy Watch6 Classic is currently the cheapest way to get that experience. While it might be two generations behind, with this deal the Watch6 is at least AU$100 cheaper than the current entry-level Watch FE, and AU$122 cheaper than the base Watch8. Moreover, the Watch6 Classic offers a huge range of features and isn’t lacking for performance thanks to an Exynos W930 processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. It beats the Watch FE in most categories at a cheaper price – so we know which one we’d be choosing.

The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a brilliant all-rounder with an AMOLED display and 11 days of battery life, making it a great Apple Watch swap for runners and active users. The excellent Garmin Connect app can help you plan workouts and running routes, while you can follow along with gym-based exercises on the screen. It is, of course, more of a fitness tracker than a smartwatch, but it's good value even though we've seen it drop to AU$249 previously.

We called it "the best running watch ever" back in 2022 and its five-star Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar review (which just offers a longer-lasting battery than this non-solar model) supports that statement. It might not be in our guide to the best Garmin, but it's still a fantastic multisport watch.

Launched locally exactly a year ago, the Blink Outdoor 4 is an affordable home security camera from Amazon with the ability to last up to two years off two AA batteries. It comes with an easy-to-use app and fairly good camera quality via a 1080p lens, and can store video when paired with a Blink Sync module. And this is a record-low price for a single unit.

Even at its RRP of AU$149, this smart lamp is good value, something that made me give it a high score on my Nanoleaf Smart Multicolor Floor Lamp review. With this discount, it becomes one of the cheapest smart lamps you can get, one that does exactly what it promises on the tin. I'm still using it in my bedroom and, although it's not bright, it creates lovely wall-washing effects.

This compact manual coffee machine can pour up to two espresso shots at once and features a steam wand for cafe-quality milk foaming. There's no built-in grinder, but you either use ground coffee beans or invest in a separate grinder using the cash you save with this deal. Now just a few dollars more but you do need to apply the code to get this price.

Breville's Barista Express coffee machine makes for a great all-in-one espresso machine that doesn’t need you to spend a fortune. While this model does occasionally drop down to around the AU$560 mark, we’re happy to recommend it with this AU$111 discount off the RRP, which isn’t too far off that. The Barista Express’s beautiful design and powerful integrated burr grinder (with 35 grind settings), helped it earn top marks from our reviewer.

This Philips bean-to-cup machine can make 12 coffee-based drinks, all of which are delicious brews time after time. We did find its milk foaming skills weren't the best in our LatteGo 4400 Series review, but this is a great price for what is ultimately a great machine. The last time this was discounted (in October), it proved to be a bestseller. Sadly the additional AU$125 discount code is no longer available, but this is still a good price.

According to our 4.5-star Ninja Luxe Café review, this machine is worth the hype. Our tester said it was "an espresso machine anyone can master" that offers pro-level drinks without the effort. She also applauded its consistently great brews, ease of use, striking build and excellent value – quite a statement considering its price.

This air fryer offers fantastic value for money at this price – snagging you a decent 4.7L capacity that allows you to cook entire meals for small groups of people. It's also easy to use with preset cooking modes and uses dishwasher-safe parts for easy cleaning.

Securing a spot on our list of the best air fryers, our reviewer said this innovative model from Ninja was the "air fryer of my dreams". It takes a familiar double drawer design, but stacks them on top of each other, resulting in a smaller footprint. Performance is exemplary, but just make sure the food you put in isn't that big, as the drawers themselves are on the smaller side at 4.75L each. Hit the price beat button to get the full discount.

There are a couple of varaints of the Shark FlexBreeze fan and my pick is the one with the misting attachment. It costs AU$50 more than the standard version, but that attachment could prove handy at your next backyard barbie. And it can run on battery for up to 24 hours. It will even convert into a tabletop or portable fan with the press of a button. A handy remote is also in the box.

Remarkably similar to the Dyson Big+Quiet, Dreame's AirPursue is doesn't just cool and purify, it can also work as a heater – so better value for money here.

Now at 65% off, it's cheaper than the 63% discount we saw during Amazon's October Prime Day sale, so this would be my pick of the best Black Friday electric toothbrush deals.

It also features a pressure sensor and an interactive display, plus comes with a magnetic charging stand.

It was the multi-styler that began the Airwrap-dupe trend and now it's slowly fading away from popularity with newer models from Shark itself and other competitors joining in. I use it myself and even though the Airwrap would be the better styler, I can't deny its overall value. In this package, Shark allows you to pick three attachments you'll need most (trust me, you won't use more than that), so you can build your own bundle.

This hair dryer has a plethora of sensors that make sure your scalp remains healthy, automatically adjusting heat and airflow depending on how far away the dryer is from your head.

The Airwrap i.d. has briefly been as low as AU$598 in the past, but this is the cheapest deal going now. According to TechRadar's Home Editor, this is the best hair styler tool, hands down, with the curl.i.d switch being the game changer here. It's still a big investment and the price may drop further during the weekend.

Black Friday 2025 in Australia: key information
What date is Black Friday 2025 in Australia?
While Black Friday deals tend to start earlier than the actual day, the official start of this year's Cyber Weekend will be Friday, November 28, 2025. Deals, however, have already begun well ahead of this date.
Until 2023, we saw early Black Friday deals begin about two weeks before the official start of the sale but, last year, we saw offers begin as early as October. Lenovo was one of the big brands that began advertising 'early' Black Friday deals towards the end of October 2024. Samsung, too, began to offer flash sales as 'early' Black Friday deals from the first week of November.
The actual Cyber Weekend is a 4-day sale, which will end on Monday, December 1, 2025. While most retailers typically stop their discounts on this day – which is Cyber Monday – some will extend the sale for a few days more, or at least till the end of the first week of December.
Not long after that will be Boxing Day 2025 anyway.
When do Black Friday deals start in Australia?
Good question. With a move to the competitive arena of online sales, we're seeing more retailers on the web than ever, and with Amazon leading the charge, there's some fierce price wars going on. That will work in your favour, with plenty of retailers vying for the lowest price on the latest gadgets.
In fact, it would be fair to assume that Amazon's second Prime Day sale in October will be a prelude to the retail giant's Black Friday campaign, and can be considered 'early' deals for the big sale event to come in November.
As happened in 2024, we expect other retailers to start early too, although they will likely wait till early or mid November to kick off their Black Friday offers. These deals and discounts typically change during the run up to the actual Cyber Weekend sale, but if stocks are limited, you might want to consider picking up the deal if the price looks good to you.
The best offers will be during the actual 4-day Cyber Weekend sale between November 28 and December 1. In Australia, most retailers end their sale on Cyber Monday (December 1 this year), but there are always some who extend the sale for at least a week.
How long to Black Friday sales last in Australia?
While the actual Cyber Weekend sale is just 4 days, retailers will typically start earlier and end later. So expect Black Friday deals to be available for a minimum of a two-week period, if not longer.
Where can you find the best Black Friday deals in Australia?
Most online retailers offer Black Friday deals, but it's our job to sort through all the offers to find the very best bargains from the bunch. You'll typically find the best deals on tech from big-name retailers like Amazon, eBay, JB Hi-Fi, Myer, The Good Guys and Bing Lee leading the pack.
Big brands like Dyson, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Bose and more also offer excellent discounts on their own online stores that are worth considering during Black Friday.
Amazon, of course, is a Black Friday favourite, not only because of the record-low prices seen during big sales, but because it offers discounts on a wide variety of categories. So whether you're looking for tech items like laptops or AirPods, or searching for discounts on clothing, kitchen appliances, or toys, Amazon is likely to offer Black Friday deals on the product you're after.
Other retailers and brands that offer impressive Black Friday sales include Target, The Iconic, Breville, Ted's Cameras and Kogan, just to name a few.
It can be overwhelming with so many retailers and promotions, but that's where our deal expertise comes in. We go through every retailer to pick out the very best Black Friday deals – particularly in the electronics and tech space – so you can be sure you're getting the lowest price available.
Some of the retailers we'll be eagerly tracking are:
- Amazon: record-low prices on Kindles, vacuums and more
- Bose: our exclusive codes will save you 10% on items over AU$200
- Breville: save an additional 10% sitewide with our exclusive codes
- Dyson: new cordless vacuums already discounted
- HP: get 5% off all purchases with our exclusive FUTURE5 code
- KitchenAid: grab the KSM60 Bowl Lift stand mixer for just AU$749
- Lenovo: early Black Friday deals already unlocked – up to 48% off
- Myer: save on premium travel and tech items
- Samsung: save on TVs, phones, tablets, appliances and more
How much do prices drop on Black Friday?
In Australia, we typically see average discounts of about 25% to 30% on various items during Black Friday sales. However, there are bigger discounts to be had. Laptops, for example, can go down all the way to 40% off on average, and occasionally even down to 60% off, while personal audio – like Bluetooth headphones and speakers – average around 30% off.
Of course, there are items that drop well below the half-price mark too. Take Garmin’s multi-sport watches as an example – when shopping on Amazon, you could get them for up to 55% off sometimes. Each category of tech sees a different discount at different retailers – for example, last year didn't see too many big discounts on cameras in Australia – but rest assured they’ll all by vying for your attention, so expect some seriously good offers across different product types.
Black Friday 2025: our deals predictions for Australia
It's not an easy task to predict what exactly will get discounted during Black Friday 2025, especially since at the time of writing in January, we're yet to have a major sale in Australia. We think once we finish the EOFY 2025 sales and get through the first Amazon Prime Day 2025, we'll have a better idea of what shoppers are keen on this year, but we can still make some educated predictions.
- Amazon, as always, will be leading the pack with some seriously good discounts, typically matching what we saw during the July 2025 Prime Day sale, if not bettering it. We're expecting all of the company's hardware to be discounted, including most of the Echo smart speakers and displays, some of the best Kindles, as well as Ring and Blink security systems.
- Alongside Amazon, other retailers like eBay and JB Hi-Fi will push hard on sales, so expect to see a wide variety of tech getting discounts, including cameras, drones, headphones and more.
- You’ll want to hold off buying a new computer as laptops always get a big discount, particularly from Lenovo and HP. Amazon will likely discount some MacBooks too, but keep an eye on powerhouse iPads that could replace your laptop.
- It will be a great time to upgrade your home entertainment system with Black Friday deals on TVs and soundbars.
- You should definitely find some great deals on some of the best wireless headphones.
- Personal grooming and oral hygiene tech products like clippers, shavers and electric toothbrushes can drop in price significantly.
Black Friday 2025 FAQs
What is Black Friday?
The term ‘Black Friday’ has two meanings in Australia and they butt heads and cause some controversy. To older Aussies, it refers to the day 71 people in Victoria tragically lost their lives in destructive bushfires in 1939.
However, these days Black Friday is associated with the mega shopping event held annually in November and that’s what we’re discussing here. But how did such a sale event come to be? Below is a quick history lesson.
Why is it called Black Friday sale?
The first known mention of Black Friday related to this shopping experience was in November 1951, when the journal Factory Management and Maintenance used it to describe people calling in sick the day after Thanksgiving so they could have an extra day off work. At the same time, US police were using the phrases ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Black Saturday’ to describe the horrendous traffic that crowded the streets at the beginning of the pre-Christmas shopping season. In 1961 there was a movement from the local governments to change the shopping season to “Big Friday” and “Big Saturday”, but it clearly never caught on, and the notion that it was the time when retailers moved 'back into the black' was seen far later and clearly an attempt to bring positivity to the term.
When did Australia start having Black Friday sales?
While we didn’t have a proper Black Friday sale in November till about 2011, it still took a few years more for it to gain traction. In 2013, Apple held a Black Friday in Australia, becoming one of the first big tech companies to help make it a popular sale. By 2017 there was no turning back – Black Friday was well established as a shopping event and so popular that shoppers knew to wait till November to spend on deeply discounted items.
How long does the Black Friday sale last in Australia?
While the Black Friday sale event is typically over four days that starts on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the US and ends on the following Monday (called Cyber Monday), it is no longer just a four-day sale. Over the last few years, Aussie retailers have started their Black Friday campaign a week or two before the actual date, some even kicking off their campaigns in October. However, the offers tend to change over this time and the best deals are usually over the actual Black Friday four-day weekend.
What is the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
There was a time, especially in the US, when Black Friday meant physically going to a brick-and-mortar store to shop, mostly to shake off the turkey sweats, while Cyber Monday was exclusively for online deals. Now, however, there’s barely any difference since most deals offered through the November sale period are available online.
As an online sale, Cyber Monday is obviously a more recent development, coming after the advent of the internet and e-commerce. It traditionally marks the point when people realised they needed to get a wriggle on and start buying Christmas presents.
Another point of difference that’s more valid in the US than anywhere else is that Black Friday was traditionally more about electronics and other high-ticket items, while Cyber Monday was more about lifestyle goods. Nowadays, though, they’re both just one big smooshed-together shopping spree over an entire week and the actual 4-day sale is typically called Cyber Weekend in Australia.
Is Black Friday worth it in Australia?
Considering most retailers offer excellent discounts during Black Friday, your chance of getting the best price on a specific item increases significantly. Retailers will try and price match to help you get the best bargain. So Black Friday is most definitely worth waiting for.
That said, Amazon is known to offer great prices on plenty of tech throughout the year, even outside of major sales like Prime Day, so it helps to keep an eye on its dedicated deals page, but even Amazon tries to outdo itself during Black Friday.
Is it cheaper to buy during Black Friday?
Typically, yes – it can be worthwhile to hold off on big purchases to shop during Black Friday as this is when the biggest discounts are applied by nearly every retailer in Australia. So you can shop around, pitting one retailer against the other and getting the best possible price-beat option you can.
Are Black Friday deals better than Prime Day?
Well, yes and no.
Firstly, it's important to note that Amazon typically has the best price on any given day on a particular tech item (not always, but for the most part that's true). These prices drop on Amazon significantly when it's hosting a Prime Day sale, so you can find big-ticket items at all-time-low prices. That said, Amazon's catalogue – as extensive as it is – is still limited. You may not find everything you're after on the online retail giant's AU site, like TVs for example.
And that's the biggest advantage Black Friday has over Prime Day – the sheer volume of products because nearly every major retailer will participate, even Amazon. The level of competition is such that each retailer will try to outdo the other, which is good news for the bargain hunter. You can even get your preferred store to price match or even price beat.
Are Black Friday sales better than Boxing Day deals?
There was a time when Boxing Day sales were the biggest shopping event in Australia, but Black Friday has well and truly taken over. If you've waited all year to shop for expensive investments like laptops, TVs or cameras, it's best to grab them when Black Friday deals are on.
Boxing Day is, however, a fantastic fallback if you missed the November sales. You won't necessarily get the same kind of discounts, but they'll come close.
Top tips for shopping during Black Friday 2025
As we've said: this isn't our first rodeo. As veterans of many Black Friday sales in Australia, we've picked up a few tips and tricks in order to find the best deals and get the biggest savings on your most-wanted items. You can find all that combined knowledge right here for a crash course in becoming a Black Friday deals expert.
How to find the best Black Friday 2025 deals
Getting the best Black Friday deals often comes down to how much research you do ahead of the event. Use the time you have in the lead up to the event to make sure you know exactly what you want to get out of the sale. That means going beyond finding a TV brand or laptop model that suits you, but looking at what features and specs you will need to fit into your budget. Double check previous sales to see if your shopping list matches prices that have been seen before so that you stay realistic during this step.
Black Friday is an important time of the year for TechRadar to help our readers – we spend weeks ahead of the sale making sure the entire site is ready for people looking for the information they need to make the right buying choice. Whether that's knowing which is the best laptop, TV or iPad, or just seeing great deals for them through our price comparison widgets, we've got everything you need to know.
Once you've got your spec and features down, you'll want to consider which parts of your wish list you can stand to drop if you do spot a particularly low price. That way you'll know exactly what to look for when the heat is on.
When you've found the deal you're looking for, it's also crucial to widen your net and make sure you can't get a better price elsewhere before heading to checkout. Bigger retailers tend to price match each other, but during particularly competitive events like Black Friday they also look to get an edge by offering additional incentives like bundles and free gifts. Of course, we're bringing the best Black Friday deals from around the web, so you can stick with us for the biggest value savings – however, if you are going it alone, be sure to check other retailers' offers before committing.
We do generally find that the best Black Friday deals land on the week of the sale itself, with the biggest products seeing discounts during the main event. However, you'll be seeing discounts landing as early as the start of the month in some cases. If you do spot a price that you like but you're hesitant to commit too early, it's worth going for it – especially if it’s a deal you were waiting for.
There's a lot less competition in these earlier discounts, which means you might be able to get your hands on some of the bigger savings or more desirable colorways before the crowds swarm. However, we'd recommend keeping your find boxed up until the Black Friday deals are fully over, as you may well see a much better price later on in the month and you can always return your previous purchase.
When will the best Black Friday deals be available?
In previous years, we'd usually say that you would want to wait until as close to Black Friday as possible before making a purchase in order to get the best price. The last two years have completely changed our advice, though.
We've seen that when retailers start their sales from early or mid November, the prices on offer are rarely beaten on Black Friday. There may be a small spike in deals during the week leading up to Black Friday itself, but many of the offers you see in the weeks prior are actually as good as they are going to get.
So, with that in mind, if you have a specific product you're looking out for this year, you should really consider buying it as soon as that first deal becomes available. This is especially true if it's a big-ticket item like a games console, 4K TV or tablet. We've seen these haven't been reduced any further on Black Friday and could also suffer from stock issues if they are particularly popular. So, you don't want to miss out on something entirely, we strongly suggest buying early.
Are Black Friday deals real?
If you’ve been shopping during November over the last few years, you’ll know that Black Friday sales are now an established event on the Aussie shopping calendar. Not only are Black Friday deals real, you’ll be able to shop both in store and online.
Generally speaking, there are two types of deals offered during Black Friday. The first has been pre-agreed between brands/retailers and suppliers, so they’re not as off-the-cuff as you might expect. The other is sudden price drops, whether that’s an algorithm working out the best way to attract users to buy (as brands like Amazon often will) or just the big names price-matching one another.
As with any sales, you’ll see a mix of genuine bargains, discounted end-of-line stock and mysterious things found in the back of a warehouse somewhere.
Can I get cashback on Black Friday deals?
Sometimes, yes. While brands themselves won’t typically offer cashback on Black Friday deals, your debit card or credit card may. It’s definitely worth looking into – not just for Black Friday 2025 but for any online shopping – when you'll be spending money online.
Am I protected when shopping online during Black Friday?
Yes. In Australia, anything you buy from a company online is covered by a wealth of consumer protection legislation, which gives you the same rights as with any other online purchase.
Unfortunately, Black Friday brings out the scammers as well as the sellers. So be wary of unsolicited emails or links to deals on social media, no matter how legitimate they look: anything asking for card or login details may be a scam. Phishing sites do big business on Black Friday, so be extra suspicious – and if you’re on a PC, make sure your security software is up to date. Many security suites automatically block known scam sites. We have a handy guide on scams in Australia that is maintained regularly to help you be on the lookout.

Apple's iPhone 16 was going for a mere AU$100 at Vodafone, but you would have had to sign up for a 36-month plan to take advantage of this offer. It was still arguably the best iPhone offer we saw during Black Friday 2024.

Canon PowerShot V10: AU$699 AU$499(AU$200 off)
There's no camera like this on the market, but Canon has never shied from making something different. Smaller than most mobile phones, it's the perfect companion to pocket when you're out and about. You can also create content or use it as a webcam – it has a handy stand just for that. And it was down to its best ever price during Black Friday 2024, which dropped even further a couple of weeks later to AU$487.

Sennheiser Momentum 4 (Special Edition): AU$625 AU$335 (AU$290 off)
Brilliantly detailed and crisp sound, along with excellent ANC and transparency modes and satisfying battery life, make the Momentum 4s some of the beast headphones you can currently buy. And they were at their lowest price ever during Black Friday last year.

Dyson Supersonic Nural: AU$749 AU$498 (AU$251 off)
We weren't expecting it, but Dyson decided to slash the price of its best hair dryer yet. In fact, it was cheaper than the original Supersonic and even the Airwrap didn't get as good a discount. Which was probably a good thing for shoppers keen on a new hair dryer that's really quite smart.

Dyson Gen5detect Complete: AU$1,599 AU$879 (AU$720 off)
We called this a great-value deal on what is Dyson's most powerful cordless vacuum yet. The Complete package gets you every single attachment you can think of (6 in total) along with 2 cleaning heads – the Digital Motorbar and the Fluffy Optic – as well as the Dyson FreeDok, which is a free-standing dock to stow it all away. If there was a Dyson Black Friday deal worth your money, this one was it!

JBL Flip 6: AU$169.95 AU$97 (AU$72 off)
Down to a record-low price for Black Friday at JB Hi-Fi, the JBL Flip 6 was a bestseller. It's truly a powerhouse for such a small speaker. And while it lacks flashy features like voice control, you get a rugged and very portable speaker that punches well above its weight with bassy sound.

TCL C855 (65-inch): AU$2,995 AU$1,620 (AU$1,375 off)
A terrific discount on TCL's latest QD Mini-LED which we said was "easily one of the most impressive budget mini-LED TVs you can buy" at its full price, we were pleasantly surprised to see it drop to AU$1,620 at Appliance Central. Shaving off over a grand from that price made this an even easier telly to recommend.

Ecovacs Deebot T20e Omni: AU$1,999 AU$949 (AU$1,050 off)
Another whopper of a deal, this time on a robot vacuum that offers great suction power but uses hot air and cold water for self-cleaning instead of hot water. It was an excellent bargain during Black Friday 2024 and we're hoping some of the best robot vacuums will again be discounted the same way.
