What is 12.12?

12.12 is one of Singapore’s major shopping events in December. Following in the footsteps of 11.11, this day was kicked off by Chinese retailer Alibaba back in 2012, conveniently making the very first one on 12.12.12. In the last ten years this sale has grown throughout South East Asia with a large number of retailers jumping onboard to offer another round of bargains just after Black Friday.

When is 12.12?

To figure out when the 12.12 sales start, just take a look at the name. Just like 9.9, 10.10 and 11.11, 12.12 falls on the day that matches the month – in this case, December 12 falls on a Monday in 2022.

While sales don’t officially start until 12am on December 12, you can already find a number of retailers, including marketplaces such as Shopee already advertising 12.12 deals. You might even be able to find a few bargains drop ahead of the date and some continuing on to December 13.

Secretlab gaming chairs | from SG$584 at Secretlab SG (up to SG$45 off)

During last year’s 12.12 sales you could grab a Secretlab gaming chair from as low as SG$584. It’s no secret that we think these chairs are pretty great here at TechRadar, especially the Titan which tops our best gaming chairs list for 2022. So fingers crossed we’ll see some more discounts from Secretlab during this next sale.

Surface Laptop 4 | i5 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD | SG$2,299 SG$1,839 at Microsoft SG (SG$460 off)

With the Surface Laptop 5 now out on the market, it’s likely we’ll keep seeing deals on older models from Microsoft. In particular, ahead of the latest laptop’s launch, this Surface Laptop 4 had 20% off during the 9.9 sales, netting you a neat saving of SG$460 off a device with an 11th-gen Intel Core i5 chip, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

Apple iPhone 14 (256GB) | SG$1,469 SG$1,344 at Amazon SG (SG$125 off)

While 9% off doesn’t sound like much, finding a discount on the latest iPhone from Apple is incredibly rare, especially only a few months after its release. During 11.11 for 2022, Amazon offered SG$125 off the iPhone 14, which came with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display with 256GB of storage.

Nintendo Switch OLED | SG$549 SG$399 at Amazon SG (SG$150 off)

During Black Friday 2022, Singapore saw a massive discount of SG$150 off the Nintendo Switch OLED. This was the biggest discount we’ve seen on the console, so it would be worth keeping an eye on it during this next sale. We don’t expect it to hit that low price point for 12.12, but there could still be a significant discount on this popular device.

Sony WH-1000XM4 | SG$499 SG$399 at Amazon SG (SG$100 off)

Over the Black Friday weekend for 2022, you could nab a saving of SG$399 on one of the top headphones by Sony, the WH-1000XM4. With fantastic noise cancellation and a lightweight design, 20% off these cans was a fantastic bargain.
