This morning Amazon now officially announced its Black Friday sale and subsequently launched its early Black Friday event you can shop right now, alongside the Best Buy Week 2 early Black Friday deals. Joining the all-time low on the Google Home Speaker, we have also have your first chance to save on Dell’s new touchscreen XPS Googlebook at nearly $300 off and its 2026 Windows laptop with the 15.3-inch 2K touchscreen at $350 off. From there we move over to the most affordable Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra at over $330 off the list price and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra at $420 off in Best Buy “excellent” open-box condition alongside a host of other early Black Friday deals. Check it all out below.
Googlebooks have only been on the market for a couple of months, and we’re already seeing one of the first chances to save on one of the more premium models. Best Buy currently has the Dell XPS Googlebook in Open-Box Excellent condition for $723.99 shipped, down from its usual $1,000 price. That works out to $276 in savings just for going the open-box route. We’re yet to see any meaningful deals land on these new Googlebook laptops, so you might want to jump in and snag this one while it’s still available. Head below for more details.
The Samsung Black Friday sale has sort of soft launched now on the official site, but there is now cash discounts live on its new Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra. Amazon doesn’t carry the Ultra and, while there were some notable gift card offers ahead of launch, we are now tracking a chance to land the most affordable Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra at over $330 off the list price.
We are yet to catch any straight cash discounts on the new Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra in brand new condition. And while that could happen during Black Friday, it remains to be seen whether or not Samsung or retailers like Best Buy will be serving up hundreds in savings like we are tracking today.
Best Buy’s “excellent” condition open-box listing on the 256GB Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra in Gray with the S-Pen included is currently sitting down at $1,065.99 shipped.
This is a regularly $1,400 flagship tablet Samsung just released not more than a couple months ago now. It is currently available in Best Buy’s top quality open-box condition at $334 under the price you’ll pay in new condition to deliver the best deal we have tracked on this configuration since release. Even with the pre-order gift card offers, you’re still landing an additional $130+ in savings here.
While Samsung’s cash deals on its latest series 8 foldables have ow disappeared, we wanted to highlight this even deeper deal we spotted over at Best Buy this morning. You can now score the most affordable Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra at $420 off the list price in “excellent” open-box condition.
While not all colors and configs are down this low, you will find the striking Violet Shadow treatment on the 256GB Z Fold 8 Ultra sitting down at $1,679.99 shipped in “excellent” open-box condition.
This is a regularly $1,900 device that is currently selling at the full list via Samsung and over $1,870 at Amazon.
While we have seen some fleeting deals for Prime members on this device previously and there is a strong chance it drops in price for the upcoming Amazon Black Friday sale that starts next week, there’s no telling where it might land at this point. Some colors have dropped down to $1,700 in the past, so that’s not out of the question, but the $420 in savings we have here today in near-perfect condition is quite notable.
It also joins some other notable open-box offers on the latest Fold devices:
The all-new Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 tracker is now live and available for purchase. You’ll find the single 1-pack listing live at $30 and the 4-pack at $99.99 – both are now live at Amazon and the official Samsung site.
Alongside its now-live Week 2 early Black Friday deals, and as part of its Deals of the Day lineup, Best Buy has listed Dell’s 2026 Windows laptop with a 15.3-inch 2K touchscreen down to $479.99 shipped. You’re looking at the base variant of this laptop in the 8GB/256GB config, which typically goes for $830. Today’s deal delivers a $350 discount on it to mark the lowest price we have tracked for it to date. We saw the 8GB/512GB variant of this notebook see a $300 discount just last week, but today’s early Black Friday deal delivers an even better value on this notebook for folks looking to buy a simple, everyday laptop for casual use. Head below for more details.
Lenovo’s IdeaPad Slim 3 is also worth checking out today, if you’re looking for something with more memory and storage. It’s currently down to $700 from its usual $950 price tag and comes with a 2K touchscreen display as well.
Amazon has now officially announced its 2026 Black Friday details and launched the early sale deal pages, but it has also introduced a countdown clock on the all-time low pricing for its new Fire TV Stick 4K at $25 – you have until midnight tonight to score one at the lowest price yet.
Amazon is delivering early Black Friday deals across its Fire TV Stick streaming media player lineup right now headlined by the brand new 4K model at $24.99 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35.
This model debuted a few months ago at $60 with a 50% launch discount at $30. It, however, dropped even lower as part of Amazon’s early Black Friday offerings and it looks as though the deal is going to end tonight.
There’s nothing quite like an LG C or G series OLED TV upgrade if you ask me, but the B series line is more than capable enough for most folks and comes in at a much more affordable price. Plus, Amazon just knocked $1,000 off the 65-inch 2026 model to deliver the lowest price we have tracked there.
Amazon is now offering the 2026 model 65-inch LG Class LG OLED AI B6 4K Smart TV down at $999.99 shipped.
This one launched earlier this year at $2,000 and is now 50% off to deliver a new Amazon all-time low, and right before the release of Grand Theft Auto VI no less. While it has been selling for closer to $1,200 and $1,300 over the last few months at Amazon and elsewhere, we are, nonetheless, looking at a new Amazon low, and a price coming in at a whole lot lower than it was at launch.
This one is still fetching full price on the official LG site and, while it is on sale at Best Buy in its Week 2 early Black Friday event, you will pay $200 more there right now.
It’s not quite as high-end an offering as the C6 or the G6 for sure, but it is likely more than good enough for most gamers and home theater setups – all but the most hardcore TV pros will be perfectly happy with this OLED in my opinion.
As far as its gaming prowess is concerned, you can expect to find a 0.1ms response time and up to 120Hz refresh rate alongside NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium, and VRR to “further improve gaming quality. Whether you game on consoles or on the cloud, the LG Game Dashboard and Game Optimizer put all the control at your fingertips.”
