15 Best Black Friday Tech Deals (2025)

It’s time to take a break from your family, stop gorging on turkey, and enjoy an altogether more modern American Thanksgiving tradition: Black Friday tech deals. In theory, this is the time of year when retailers significantly reduce old inventory to make room for new ones, but finding real deals on tech worth buying can be trickier than expected.

Welcome to WIRED’s guide to the best Black Friday tech deals, where we can promise you two things: These devices are worth buying (we’ve tested and recommended every single one), and they’re real discounts (not the year-round price). So whether you need an upgrade, want to treat yourself, or are looking for a great gift, we’ve got you covered.

Do you want a wider range of offers? Check out our roundup of the best Black Friday deals and our Black Friday live blog to find more great deals this sales weekend.

The Google Pixel 10 is one of the best Android phones you can buy. Easy to recommend at full price, the Pixel 10 is a real bargain with this discount. You get a great triple-camera system with a 5X optical zoom sensor, support for Qi2 wireless charging, so you can magnetically connect to wireless chargers and docks, and super smart software features from Google (the call screen to filter unwanted calls is our favorite). Learn more in the best Pixel phones guide.

The Asus RT-BE58U may be the ideal Wi-Fi 7 upgrade for modest homes and apartments still saddled with the crappy router sent by their Internet service provider, and that’s why it tops our guide to the best Wi-Fi routers. It’s easy to install and use, can cover up to 2,000 square feet, and has plenty of ports. As a dual-band router, it lacks the 6GHz band, but has all the other benefits of Wi-Fi 7. It also supports VPN service, separate IoT or guest networks, and Ai Mesh.

These wireless noise-cancelling headphones may not be the latest release from Sony, but they’re still a great pair of cans at a much deeper discount. The Sony WH-1000XM5s are relatively light and comfortable, producing great sound in all scenarios and have excellent control options.

You can spend a lot on a TV, but you can also get a great screen without breaking the bank, and the TCL QM6K proves it. This is currently the best TV for most people because it offers excellent color and processing, all the apps you want, and excellent performance, even in bright rooms. There are discounts across the entire screen size range.

Roku

Streaming Stick Plus (2025)

If you want to get the latest streaming apps on an older TV, the Roku Streaming Stick Plus is for you. It’s easy to set up, works reliably, and has a convenient voice remote that makes finding content easier than ever. It fits nicely behind most TVs, and Roku’s interface is nice and clear.

Apple doesn’t really do sales, but other retailers do. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on a sturdy iPad that the whole family can enjoy. The Apple iPad (A16, 2025) works great for most tasks, looks pretty good, and has a 12-megapixel camera. Honestly, it’s all the iPad most people need for surfing the web and streaming shows in bed. With iPadOS 26 and the new Windowing Apps feature, you can even work comfortably if you pair it with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

As handy as they are for keeping you connected when your phone dies unexpectedly, portable chargers can be very similar. The reason Nimble Champ tops our guide to the best power banks is Nimble’s focus on the environment. It is made from 90% certified recycled plastic and comes in fully biodegradable packaging. It also performs well, with capacities starting at 5,200 mAh, with USB-A and USB-C ports and charging up to 15 watts.

Yes, you should read more, and Amazon Kindle e-readers make just that easier. Our current favorite is the Kindle Paperwhite (12th generation). It features a crisp 7-inch screen, auto-adjust warm light, three-month battery life, snappy performance, and it’s thin and light, making it comfortable to hold. It’s even integrated with Overdrive for books in your library and supports multiple languages.

The reMarkable 2 is one of the best digital laptops, offering a paper-like writing experience, intuitive software, and weeks of battery life. This is a budget model, so it lacks front light and color, but it’s still a decent device. Bundles where you choose both a marker and a folio are currently heavily discounted, and they don’t go on sale often, so now is a good time to pick one up.

Keychron boards are popular here at WIRED, and the Q6 HE is our current pick of the best mechanical keyboards. Sturdy, satisfying to type on, with a lovely retro aesthetic, what more do you need? Well, the Q6 HE also has hot-swappable Hall effect switches, four macro keys, and is relatively easy to customize or repair.

Nomadic

65W Slim Power Adapter

The great thing about Nomad’s 65-watt charger is that it’s incredibly slim, with flip-out prongs, allowing it to easily fit into the small pockets of your bag or purse. You get two USB-C ports and can draw 45 watts from the left port and 20 watts from the right port. Or, if you’re only charging one device, the full 65 watts is enough for any phone, most tablets, and even some MacBooks or Windows laptops (although they won’t charge at full speed).

Crisp 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 to people looking for a security camera. You also get AI recognition for people and pets, a siren to scare off intruders, and the fast-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 is our pick of the best outdoor security cameras.

I love my Oura Ring 4. It accurately tracks my sleep, activity, and stress levels and offers insights that I find really useful. It’s also very comfortable, the app is super sleek, with new features added all the time, and it’s much less obtrusive than any other type of tracker you might wear. The problem is a subscription, but it’s still the best of the best smart rings.

It’s the thoughtful design that elevates the Backbone One above the rest of the best mobile controllers. Pop your phone into the compact cradle, which has a USB-C jack for fast connectivity, and you get satisfyingly clicky, responsive controls as well as a 3.5mm headphone port. You can also customize it for different games, or even use Backbone software as your single gaming hub, if you’re willing to pay a subscription.

Ray-Ban

Smart Meta Glasses

Yes, there is a new version of the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers, but the good news is that the old pair is now on sale. If you can stomach Meta AI’s privacy policies, there’s a strong case that it’s already won the smart glasses race (at least so far). The best smart glasses should be easy to wear, and these look great and help take things off your phone, so you don’t have to reach into that pocket as much.
