It\u2019s time to<\/span> take a break from family, stop stuffing your face with turkey, and enjoy an altogether more modern American Thanksgiving tradition: Black Friday tech deals. In theory, this is the time of the year when retailers heavily discount old stock to make room for the new, but finding actual deals on tech worth buying can be trickier than expected.<\/p>\n Welcome to WIRED\u2019s guide to the best Black Friday tech deals, where we can promise you two things: these devices are worth buying (we\u2019ve tested<\/a> and recommended<\/a> every one of them), and these are actual discounts (not the year-round price). So, whether you need an upgrade, want to treat yourself, or are seeking a great gift<\/a>, we have you covered.<\/p>\n Want a wider range of deals? Check out the Absolute Best Black Friday Deals roundup<\/a> and our Black Friday liveblog<\/a> to find more bargains this sale weekend.<\/p>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Google Pixel 10<\/a> is one of the best Android phones<\/a> you can buy. Easy to recommend at full price, the Pixel 10 is an absolute bargain with this discount. You get an excellent triple-camera system with a 5X optical zoom sensor, support for Qi2 wireless charging<\/a>, so you can magnetically attach to wireless chargers and docks, and Google\u2019s super smart software features (Call Screen to filter out spam calls is our favorite). Learn more in the Best Pixel Phones guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Asus RT-BE58U is perhaps the ideal Wi-Fi 7 upgrade for modest homes and apartments still struggling with the crappy router their internet service provider sent, and that’s why it tops our Best Wi-Fi Routers<\/a> guide. It\u2019s easy to set up and use, can cover up to 2,000 square feet, and boasts plenty of ports. As a dual-band router, it lacks the 6-GHz band, but has all the other advantages of Wi-Fi 7<\/a>. There\u2019s also support for VPN service, separate IoT or guest networks, and Ai Mesh.<\/p>\n Courtesy of Sony<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n These wireless noise-canceling headphones<\/a> may not be the latest release from Sony, but they are still an excellent pair of cans with a far deeper discount. The Sony WH-1000XM5<\/a> are relatively light and comfortable, producing accomplished sound in every scenario, and have great control options.<\/p>\n Photograph: Ryan Waniata<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n You can spend a lot on a TV, but you can also get a great screen without breaking the bank, and the TCL QM6K<\/a> proves it. This is the best TV for most people<\/a> right now as it offers excellent color and processing, all the apps you want, and great performance, even in bright rooms. There are discounts across the range of screen sizes.<\/p>\n Photograph: Parker Hall<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Roku<\/p>\n If you want to get the latest streaming apps on an older TV, the Roku Streaming Stick Plus<\/a> is for you. It\u2019s easy to set up, works reliably, and has a handy voice remote that makes finding content easier than ever. It slots neatly behind most TVs, and Roku\u2019s interface is nice and clear.<\/p>\n Photograph: Brenda Stolyar<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Brenda Stolyar<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Apple doesn\u2019t really do sales, but other retailers do. This is the lowest price we\u2019ve seen on a solid iPad the whole family can enjoy. The Apple iPad (A16, 2025)<\/a> performs great for most tasks, looks pretty nice, and has a 12-megapixel camera. It is honestly all the iPad most folks need for surfing the web and streaming shows in bed. With iPadOS 26 and the new windowing apps feature, you can even comfortably do some work if you pair it with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.<\/p>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Handy as they are for keeping you connected when your phone dies unexpectedly, portable chargers can be very same-y. The reason the Nimble Champ tops our Best Power Banks<\/a> guide is Nimble\u2019s focus on the environment. It\u2019s made from 90 percent certified recycled plastic and comes in fully biodegradable packaging. It also works well, with capacities starting from 5,200 mAh, with USB-A and USB-C ports, and up to 15-watt charging.<\/p>\n Photograph: Nena Farrell<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Nena Farrell<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Courtesy of Amazon<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Amazon<\/p>\n Yes, you should read more, and Amazon\u2019s Kindle e-readers<\/a> make it easier to do exactly that. Our current favorite is the Kindle Paperwhite (12th generation). It has a sharp 7-inch display, auto-adjusting warm light, three-month battery life, snappy performance, and it\u2019s slim and light, making it comfortable to hold. It even has integration with Overdrive for your library books<\/a> and support for several languages<\/a>.<\/p>\n Photograph: Nena Farrell<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n The reMarkable 2 is one of the best digital notebooks<\/a>, offering a paper-like writing experience, intuitive software, and several weeks of battery life. This is a budget model, so it lacks front light and color, but it\u2019s still a decent device. Bundles where you choose both a marker and folio are heavily discounted right now, and they\u2019re not often on sale, so it\u2019s a good time to snap one up.<\/p>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Keychron boards are popular here at WIRED, and the Q6 HE is our current pick of the best mechanical keyboards<\/a>. Sturdy, satisfying to type on, with a lovely retro aesthetic, what more do you need? Well, the Q6 HE also boasts hot-swappable Hall Effect switches, four macro keys, and is relatively easy to customize or repair.<\/p>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Nomad<\/p>\n The great thing about Nomad\u2019s 65-watt charger is that it\u2019s incredibly slim, with flip-out prongs, so it can slip easily into small pockets in your bag or purse. You get dual USB-C ports, and can pull 45 watts out of the left port and 20 out of the right. Or, if you\u2019re just charging one device, the full 65 watts is enough for any phone, most tablets, and even some MacBooks or Windows laptops (though they may not charge at top speed).<\/p>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Sharp 2K video, color night vision, a wide 160-degree field of view, and clear two-way audio make the Arlo Pro 5S easy to recommend for folks seeking a security camera. You also get AI recognition for people and pets, a siren to scare intruders, and the quick-loading Arlo app. But you need Arlo Secure ($8 per month for one camera or $13 per month for unlimited cameras) for subject recognition, smart alerts, and cloud storage. The Arlo Pro 5S<\/a> is our pick of the best outdoor security cameras<\/a>.<\/p>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Simon Hill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n I love my Oura Ring 4<\/a>. It accurately tracks my sleep, activity, and stress levels and offers insights that I find genuinely useful. It\u2019s also very comfortable, the app is super slick, with new features being added all the time, and it\u2019s far less obtrusive than any other kind of tracker you could wear. The catch is a subscription, but this is still the best of the best smart rings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
