Click Frenzy 2023 deals

Phones

Apple iPhone 14 (128GB)

Apple iPhone 14 (128GB) | AU$1,399 AU$1,199 at JB Hi-Fi (save AU$200)

It's a rare discount on Apple's latest-generation iPhone and, although it's not much, it's still worth considering if you've been holding off. There's no guarantee you'll see better prices than this until the iPhone 15 range comes out. And, as of May 15, Aussies can use the Emergency SOS satellite feature on this handset, so it could well be worth it.

Available colours: Midnight: AU$1,199 | Purple: AU$1,199 | Yellow: AU$1,199 | Blue: AU$1,199

Apple iPhone 13 (128GB)

Apple iPhone 13 (128GB) | AU$1,229 AU$1,029 at The Good Guys (save AU$200)

If you aren't too fussed about getting the latest iPhone, then you can spend a little over a grand and grab the iPhone 13 instead. It may not have some of the features of the latest model but it's still a pretty powerful handset with a decent camera setup. 

More discounts: JB Hi-Fi (Midnight, 128GB): AU$1,029 | JB Hi-Fi (Green; 128GB): AU$1,029

Google Pixel 7 Pro (128GB)

Google Pixel 7 Pro (128GB) | AU$1,299 AU$1,049 on JB Hi-Fi (save AU$250)

The Pixel 7 Pro is Google’s current flagship phone, and with this discount, it’s not that much more expensive than the standard Google Pixel 7 (RRP AU$999). The Pixel 7 Pro has a larger screen at 6.7-inches (compared to the Pixel 7’s 6.3-inch display), plus a larger battery to squeeze more out of the Google Tensor G2 processor. This phone was available for AU$944 during Click Frenzy, but that deal has now ended and the discounted price has gone up to AU$1,049.

Colour options: Black: AU$1,049 | White: AU$1,049 | Hazel: AU$1,049

Motorola Razr 2022 5G (256GB)

Motorola Razr 2022 5G (256GB) | AU$1,599 AU$999 at JB Hi-Fi (save AU$600)

Flip phones are back in fashion, and Motorola’s answer to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 4 range is a great option. We saw the Razr 2022 get a neat discount of AU$600 at Lenovo recently, and it’s picked up the same at JB Hi-Fi. With a 6.7-inch Full HD+ pOLED main display and a 2.7-inch AMOLED external screen, you’ll be able to keep on top of messages even when this clamshell phone is folded in half. It dropped to AU$899.10 during Click Frenzy, but it’s now AU$999.

Gaming

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Switch)

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Switch) | AU$89.95 AU$69 at Mighty Ape (save AU$20.95)

Jump into Hyrule with Link’s latest adventure. The long awaited sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is here, and Tears of the Kingdom has already picked up a few discounts across the web. Mighty Ape has the lowest price, followed closely by JB Hi-Fi’s Click Frenzy offering. Whether you want to enjoy the story, or create chaos with the game's Lego-like building mechanic, it’s a great game for any fan of the Zelda franchise.

Laptops & peripherals

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i | i9 / 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD / RTX 4080 | AU$5,599 AU$3,999 on Lenovo (save AU$1,600)

Fitted with an Intel Core i9-13900HX processor and an RTX 4080 graphics card, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i offers uncompromising gaming performance at every turn. However, it probably comes as no surprise that it’s let down by a horrendous battery life, and some slight overheating issues. We do love its excellent port selection and wide keyboard though. If you want to snag this deal, it’s now 28% off when you use the code MAYHEM23.

Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i

Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i | i7 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD |  AU$2,709 AU$1,759 at Lenovo (save AU$950)

Lenovo has slashed AU$950 off this laptop that is perfect for creative types as part of its Click Frenzy sales. Packing a 13th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, Intel Iris graphic, 16GB of RAM and a 14.5-inch 3K display, you'll be able to create, edit and post like never before.

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro | Ryzen 7 / 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD / RTX 3070 | AU$3,299 AU$2,199 at Lenovo (save AU$1,100)

We haven't reviewed the very latest version of Lenovo's Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop, but considering the 2021 model we have reviewed walked away with five stars, we fully expect this 2023 model to be just as much of a portable gaming powerhouse. It comes complete with an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H CPU, Nvidia 3070 graphics and 1TB of SSD storage.

HP Omen 16 (k0078TX)

HP Omen 16 (k0078TX) | i7 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD / RTX 3060 | AU$2,799 AU$1,791 at HP (save AU$1,008)

There’s some big savings on HP’s Omen gaming laptops, like this 16-inch model that has scored just over AU$1,000 off its regular price. This particular option comes with a 12th-gen Intel Core i7 chip along with the Nvidia GeForce RTX3060 graphics card, offering some great performance in a portable gaming device. With a 1920p x 1080p 16.1-inch display that also has a 144Hz refresh rate, you’ll have a smooth gaming experience from this device. There’s 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, so if you need something packing a little more, check out the 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD option instead, which has come down to AU$2,559 (from AU$3,999)

More HP savings: 25% off selected monitors with any HP PC/laptop purchase

HP Envy x360 2-in-1 laptop 13 (bf0024TU)

HP Envy x360 2-in-1 laptop 13 (bf0024TU) | i7 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD | AU$2,699 AU$1,889 at HP (save AU$810)

Looking for a versatile 2-in-1 device? The HP Envy x360 will give you that. With a saving of AU$810, you;re getting a 13.3-inch touch display, a 12th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, making this slim device powerhouse in the workplace. And as it weighs just 1.34kg, it’s a lightweight option to bring into presentations, meetings and more. If you don’t need as high specs in your new device, then the HP Envy Laptop 13 (ba1006TU) with an 11th-gen i5 chip, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage has come down to AU$890 (from AU$1,649).

More HP savings: 25% off selected monitors with any HP PC/laptop purchase

Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic mouse (black)

Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic mouse (black) | AU$129 AU$99 at JB Hi-Fi (save AU$30)

At your desk all day and looking for a mouse to help reduce wrist pain? Why not give the Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic mouse a go – especially on sale for under AU$100. It's design will raise your hand to provide a more comfortable hold, along with a soft texture grip to keep you fingers nice and snug. Best suited for small and medium hands, it's also compatible with a bunch of devices thanks to both Bluetooth and wireless USB connectivity options. This mouse was down to AU$89 during Click Frenzy, but it's since gone up to AU$99.

Other variations: Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic mouse in rose: AU$99

Headphones

Beats Studio 3

Beats Studio 3 | AU$499.95 AU$344 at MyDeal (save AU$155.95)

Stylish and with a great wireless performance, we rated the Beats Studio 3 wireless headphones 4-stars in our review. Coming packed with Apple's W1 chip to help boost its connection and up to 22 hours of playtime with ANC switched on, these cans also offer on-ear controls that can be used with either Android or Apple handsets. Plus, there's a range of colour options to choose from, including black/gold, black/red, blue and matte black.

More discounts: Amazon: AU$359.10

Bose QuietComfort 45

Bose QuietComfort 45 | AU$499.95 AU$389 on Amazon (save AU$110.95)

This isn’t the best deal we’ve seen on the Bose QuietComfort 45 (they dropped to AU$339 back in March), but if you missed out back then, they’re currently down to AU$390 for Click Frenzy. They come with outstanding noise cancellation in a comfortable set of headphones, and while their sound quality is lacking a little clarity, we think most people will be satisfied with them. Available for AU$389 in black from Amazon, while Bose has more colour choices for AU$399.95.

More discounts: Bose: AU$399.95

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 | AU$429.95 AU$345 on Amazon (save AU$84.95)

Amazon isn’t officially part of the Click Frenzy sale, but we’re highlighting this deal because it’s a slight price beat on what Bose is offering them for – AU$349.95. These earbuds offer best-in-class noise cancellation and truly beautiful sound quality, both seriously impressive for a small pair of earbuds. While Amazon has them cheapest at AU$345 in the black colour option, it doesn’t offer them in the gorgeous navy blue. You can get those directly from Bose for AU$349.95.

More discounts: Bose: AU$349.95

Speakers

Bose SoundLink Mini II Special Edition

Bose SoundLink Mini II Special Edition | AU$279.95 AU$199.95 on Bose (save AU$80)

The Bose SoundLink Mini II is an absolutely ripper portable speaker, though it was released some eight years ago. It pumps out excellent sound and is solidly built, and the speaker is only really showing its age in areas such as battery life, and by not offering water resistance. If you want something for home though, it’s great.

Bose SoundLink Micro

Bose SoundLink Micro | AU$179.95 AU$99.95 on Bose (save AU$80)

The Bose SoundLink Micro brings big sound to a small package, and it’s now touting an even smaller price tag. Don’t let its size fool you, this tiny yet mighty portable speaker puts out impressive sound. It’s ruggedly built with an IPX7 waterproof rating, so it can withstand a fall in the pool, or even the ocean. Discounted in black, white and blue on Bose.

More discounts: Amazon: AU$99.95

Bose Smart Soundbar 600

Bose Smart Soundbar 600 | AU$799.95 AU$645 at Amazon (save AU$154.95)

This single box soundbar solution delivers genuinely impressive sound from its compact body, including an effective Dolby Atmos enveloping soundfield. Bass is equally impressive, especially when you consider there's no wireless subwoofer. Connectivity is great too, with physical connections, Chromecast and AirPlay 2 wireless streaming.

More discounts: Bose: AU$649.95 | Myer: AU$651

TCL TS8132

TCL TS8132 | AU$499 AU$399 at The Good Guys (save AU$100)

This TCL soundbar fares far better than we reckon you'd initially expect. Its 3.2.1-channel configuration delivers genuinely heightened sound, backed up by some low-end grunt from the companion subwoofer. It also handles music rather well and can connect and stream from a wide variety of sources. It was down to AU$319.20 during Click Frenzy, but that deal has finished and it's now available for AU$399.

Sonos Beam (Gen 2)

Sonos Beam (Gen 2) | AU$799 AU$699 at The Good Guys (save AU$100)

The Sonos Beam Gen 2 combines a convincing Dolby Atmos sound experience with the musical capabilities we've come to expect from the brand, all in an attractive and compact package. We rarely see discounts on Sonos gear, and during Click Frenzy this soundbar was down to AU$639.20, but only for the white model. That deal has ended, but it's still discounted down to AU$699.

Bose SoundLink Flex

Bose SoundLink Flex | AU$249.95 AU$195 on Amazon (save AU$54.95)

It’s a competitive market for portable speakers, and while the Bose SoundLink Flex might not be the best Bluetooth speaker around, it’s still a solid option for a versatile little speaker. It has a light and compact build, around 12 hours of battery life and great audio quality too. Amazon is beating Bose’s Click Frenzy deal by a few dollars, with black, white, red and blue colour options available.

More discounts: Bose: AU$199.95

TVs

Apple TV 4K (64GB)

Apple TV 4K (64GB) | AU$219 AU$179 at JW Computers (save AU$40)

A modest AU$40 saving here on the latest Apple TV 4K media player. This is the Wi-Fi only 64GB model, but unless you plan to do a lot of gaming, or download many large files, you probably won't need to Ethernet connection or 128GB storage of the other version. 

Considering we don't tend to see many discounts on Apple products, we reckon JW Computers' AU$40 saving is one to jump on right away. 

LG 65-inch C2 OLED TV

LG 65-inch C2 OLED TV | AU$2,995 AU$2,720 on Appliance Central (save AU$275)

This telly was one of our picks for the best TV in Australia... until the C3 came along. But that doesn't mean it's no longer a great TV, it's just a generation older. Great image quality and impressive performance makes it a great choice, particularly when you save a decent amount on cash on the 65-inch option. Note that this offer was AU$2,699 during Click Frenzy, but it's now slightly more at AU$2,720.

More discounts: The Good Guys: AU$2,995

Health & fitness

Garmin Forerunner 745

Garmin Forerunner 745 | AU$899 AU$449 at Rebel Sport (save AU$450)

The Garmin Forerunner 745 is a bit older now, so it's no surprise that it's scored a 50% off discount. However, if you don't mind picking up an older smartwatch, you'll still be treated to a variety of fitness features including training advice, workout recommendations and a water proof design so you can wear this watch while swimming. 

More discounts: Amazon: AU$449

Smartwatches

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 (40mm)

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 (40mm) | AU$499 AU$269.95 at Amazon (save AU$184.90)

This fifth-gen wearable runs on Google's Wear OS, plus adds on some extra Samsung features too, making it a full-featured smartwatch. From sleep coaching to activity tracking, the Galaxy Watch 5 offers excellent performance with good battery life too. While Amazon's offer isn't part of Click Frenzy, this the lowest price we've seen on this smart watch since its release.

Vacuums

Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute+

Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute+ | AU$1,199 AU$749 at Dyson (save AU$550)

While we think the discount on the Dyson V11 (above) is the better deal, this V10 Absolute+ might be a good choice for you if you want a variety of tool attachments included. The suction might not be as strong as, say, the Gen5 Detect or the V15 Detect, but it's more than enough for regular runs over carpets and keeping hard floors dust- and crumb-free. Plus a max runtime of 60 minutes is good. With 7 tools and 2 cleaning heads in the box, this is a good bargain at AU$749.

Dyson Gen5 Detect Absolute

Dyson Gen5 Detect Absolute | AU$1,549 AU$1,269 at Dyson (save AU$280)

The Good Guys was offering this vacuum for AU$1,021.60 during Click Frenzy, but the best price you can get now is AU$1,269 from Dyson. While we loved how well it cleaned and how much better the laser light is on the Fluffy cleaning head in our Dyson Gen5 Detect review, our biggest gripe was how heavy it was. Still if you can handle it, you're getting the best battery life of any Dyson to date – 70 minutes. 

Other Gen5 Detect models at Dyson: Complete: AU$1,319 | Gen5 Detect at The Good Guys: Absolute: AU$1,277

Dyson V8 Absolute

Dyson V8 Absolute | AU$999 AU$599 at Dyson (save AU$400)

Really want a Dyson vacuum but need it on a tighter budget? There's no harm opting for an older model like the V8. This Absolute option comes with two cleaning heads and six tools, so it's a full package for any kind of cleaning, plus there's really a decent amount of suction to keep your carpets and rugs clean. You'll get a max of 40 minutes battery life though.

More discounts: eBay: AU$549 with code SNSOMAY | Kogan: AU$599

Dreame W10 robot vacuum

Dreame W10 robot vacuum | AU$1,479 AU$1,349 on MyDeal (save AU$130)

This isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen on this robot vacuum, as it dropped to AU$1,299 back in January of this year. But if you missed out then, it’s on sale now for AU$1,349. It’s a powerful robot vacuum that can also mop your hard floors, and it’s thankfully smart enough to avoid carpets while it’s doing so. Its docking station doesn’t automatically empty the dustbin, but it does automatically dump its dirty water.

Home appliances

Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link

Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link | AU$799 AU$599 at Dyson (save AU$200)

A machine you can use all year-round to stay cool, warm or just breathe clean air, the Pure Hot+Cool Link is a nifty Dyson fan to have at home. It does cost a pretty penny (even after a discount) but it's a Dyson that can be set up via the MyDyson app (unlike the HP00 model that needs a remote). Available directly from Dyson with a AU$200 discount on both the White/Silver and the Black/Nickel models.

A fantastic tool for home bakers, this appliance comes with four attachments including a whisk, pastry beater, dough hook and a flex edge beater, along with two bowls, a 4.8L and 2.8L.

Cameras & hobbies

DJI Air 2S Fly More Combo

DJI Air 2S Fly More Combo | AU$2,099 AU$1,469 at JB Hi-Fi (save AU$630)

This is one of the best drones we've tested, with our DJI Air 2S review getting a full five stars! This high-flying all-rounder takes excellent images with its one-inch sensor in 5.4K/30p or 4K/60p. And a saving on the Fly More Combo means you're getting an ND filter set and extra batteries to keep you in the air longer. This is one bargain not to be missed.

Grooming & personal care

GHD Unplugged

GHD Unplugged | AU$495 AU$396 at GHD (save AU$99)

We rate the GHD Unplugged as the best cordless hair straightener you can buy, as we think it’s even better than the Dyson Corrale. GHD’s Unplugged is lightweight, compact and more affordable than Dyson’s option, so we think it’s a winner for most people. You can pick up this hair straightener gift set directly from GHD, and it includes a mini paddle brush and carry case.

Click Frenzy 2023: what you need to know

What is Click Frenzy?

Click Frenzy is an online sale that brings together thousands of deals from a huge variety of Australian retailers onto one website. Inspired by Black Friday sales in the US, Click Frenzy was created in 2012 to originally be held twice a year. There was one sale in May called Click Frenzy Mayhem, and another in November (first called Click Frenzy Go Wild, but now known as The Main Event).

As its popularity grew, Click Frenzy expanded to several sale events throughout the year. There was Click Frenzy Julove in July, and Click Frenzy Travel held in September. Click Frenzy used to be a strictly 24-hour sale – starting at 7pm on one day and ending at 7pm the next – but it has since expanded significantly to 53 hours of deal hunting.

There have been some changes made for Click Frenzy in 2023 – The Main Event sale will now be held in late October instead of its usual November timeslot, and Click Frenzy’s Julove sale won’t be returning in July 2023.

When is Click Frenzy 2023?

The next Click Frenzy event is called Click Frenzy Mayhem, and it officially starts on Tuesday, May 16 at 7pm AEST. It’ll run for a total of 53 hours, so you can shop Click Frenzy’s deals until midnight on Thursday, May 18.

We’ve seen several retailers in the past release their discounts a few hours earlier than the official start time, so you can potentially start deal hunting before a huge amount of shoppers jump on the Click Frenzy site. As always, we’ll be listing all the best tech deals right here as retailers make these available.

Below, we have a full list of dates and start times for all the Click Frenzy events this year:

• Click Frenzy Mayhem: starts on May 16, 2023 at 7pm AEST
• Click Frenzy Travel
: starts on August 23, 2023 at 7pm AEST
• Click Frenzy The Main Event
: starts on October 24 at 7pm AEDT

How does Click Frenzy work?

Click Frenzy collects thousands of deals from dozens of retailers onto a single website where you can easily see what’s available, and you don’t need to be a member to shop any of the deals.

There are benefits to being a member, however. For a start, members get exclusive access to Click Frenzy’s signature 99% off deals. Lucky for us, it’s free to sign up. Recently, the deals have included a PS5 for just AU$6, a Nintendo Switch for AU$5 and Apple MacBooks for just AU$19. These discounts are limited in number, with limited stock, and pop up at random times on the site for members who are ready and waiting (and signed in).

Click Frenzy members also get access to the deals via the website 30 minutes before everyone else.

Is Click Frenzy better than Black Friday?

We’ve been following both Click Frenzy and Black Friday sales for many years now, so we can say from our own experience that Black Friday sales are better than Click Frenzy deals. There’s a few reasons for this – firstly, only select retailers participate in Click Frenzy sales, whereas almost all Aussie retailers will get in on the Black Friday shopping bandwagon.

Historically, Amazon Australia and eBay Australia do not participate in Click Frenzy sale events, and we know from experience that these two online-only stores have some of the best deals on Black Friday. Other big-name Aussie stores such as JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys have joined the Click Frenzy sales on occasion, but they don’t always participate. They do most definitely participate during Black Friday sales.

Dell XPS 13 Plus (9320) | i7 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD | AU$3,099 AU$2,169 at Dell (AU$930 off)

Dell’s XPS 13 Plus laptop was 30% off during the last Click Frenzy. It came with a 12th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, all packaged into a sleek and lightweight machine. Laptop makers such as Dell, HP and Lenovo have often participated in Click Frenzy sales, so you might have a chance to get a discounted laptop before EOFY and still have it tax deductible if it’s for work.

Logitech C922 Pro Stream | AU$199 AU$79.20 at The Good Guys (AU$119.80 off)

The Logitech C922 Pro Stream is a top webcam for working from home. It was down to AU$79.20 from The Good Guys, which was the lowest price we’d seen yet at the time. In March 2023, it dropped to AU$75, so we’ll be keeping a close eye on webcam discounts during Click Frenzy Mayhem.

Samsung 55-inch S95B OLED TV | AU$2,995 AU$2,396 at The Good Guys (AU$599 off)

This was one of Samsung’s latest TVs when it got a AU$599 discount during the last Click Frenzy, so it was an incredible deal that sold out at the time. The set offers a vibrant picture quality thanks to its QD OLED technology and a solar-powered remote control. Now that Samsung’s S995B is almost a year old, we’ve seen much more drastic discounts that dropped the 55-inch model to as low as AU$1,595.

Sonos Beam (Gen 2) | AU$699 AU$559.20 at The Good Guys (AU$139.80 off)

This deal on the second-gen Sonos Beam was the lowest price we’d seen on the soundbar at the time, and we can’t remember it dropping any lower since. So, if you want a compact soundbar with Dolby Atmos support and HDMI eARC compatibility, keep an eye out for another deal like this. If The Good Guys participate again, it’s definitely possible.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2021, 8GB) | AU$239 AU$159.20 at The Good Guys (AU$79.80 off)

The 2021 Kindle Paperwhite was down to AU$199 on Amazon last November, but The Good Guys took it a step further and slashed an additional 20% off the asking price, making it the cheapest price we’d seen to date.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 | AU$429 AU$343.20 at The Good Guys (AU$85.80 off)

The Good Guys also brought us this killer deal during the last Click Frenzy, which saw a 20% discount on the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2. They’re a powerhouse pair of noise-cancelling earbuds that also sound fantastic and have a comfortable fit, so add them to your wishlist if you want new earbuds. The lowest price we’ve seen on these was AU$337, so this was a great offer.

Garmin Forerunner 945 | AU$999 AU$499 at Rebel (AU$500 off)

While this wasn’t a record-low price for the Garmin Forerunner 945 (the cheapest being AU$449), this discount was pretty good during the last Click Frenzy. The Forerunner 945 offers everything a serious runner might want from a fitness watch, including a very accurate GPS, heart rate monitor and full-colour maps.

Breville the Barista Pro | AU$899 AU$719.20 at The Good Guys (AU$179.20 off)

The Breville the Barista Pro got a 20% discount during November’s Click Frenzy event, bringing the price down to AU$719. This all-in-one coffee machine gives you all the tools you need to create a cafe-quality coffee, including a built-in grinder, milk wand and helpful display which lets you choose between 1 or 2 shots, or gives you manual control.
