Black Friday has already come and gone, but Cyber Monday is right around the corner. Most retailers have continued dropping deals here and there on a wide variety of products, with Best Buy and Amazon leading the charge at this stage. That includes some of the most popular TVs from the biggest brands.

In particular, some of Samsung's The Frame TVs have dropped to seriously low prices. If you're unfamiliar with these TVs, they double as an art display when you're not watching, so you can throw up some nice artwork or photos to display when the TV isn't being used.

If you've had your eye on one of these sleek displays, we've gathered up some of the best Black Friday deals from the likes of Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart right now. As Black Friday continues, we'll be sure to update this with even more The Frame TV deals that cross our radar.

For now, check out our top discounted picks below. And for even more discounts on TVs, check out our breakdown of the best Black Friday TV deals.

If you're not looking to splash out on a massive TV ahead of the holidays, the 55-inch Samsung The Frame is a nice size to work with. And this discount is absolutely worth taking advantage of. Best Buy has slashed $700 off this model, making for almost 50% off its list price (46.7%, to be exact).

Down to $799.99, this TV will set you up with a 4K resolution, QLED display to catch all of your favorite shows and films in crisp, colorful quality. And for when it's not being used, it can display some lovely art, such as some pieces from New York's Museum of Modern Art.

For those looking to invest in a slightly larger TV for their home, Best Buy's also offering an excellent discount on its 65-inch Samsung The Frame TV. This model has dropped by a whopping $1,000 as part of the retailer's Black Friday sale, allowing you to scoop it up for $999.99 instead of $1,999.99.

Samsung's 75-inch The Frame Pro is a great pickup for anyone hoping to go big this year. Over at Amazon, the Samsung 75-inch The Frame Pro has dropped from $2,997.99 to $1,997.99, saving you $1,000. It's worth noting that this TV is being sold by Walts TV. We generally don't recommend shopping with third-party sellers, so buyer beware. Check reviews and make your decision carefully.

This display is a Neo QLED TV, which Mashable's Leah Stodart described in her CES 2025 coverage as, "Samsung's term of endearment for mini LED, which offer more precise lighting due to their ability to be individually controlled, and the fact that there are more of them (compared to larger LED bulbs)." It also comes with Samsung's Vision AI and Pantone Validated Artful Color. To learn more, check out our breakdown of what to know about Samsung's The Frame Pro from when it was released.

What do people actually buy on Black Friday? Here are the most-bought items by Mashable readers in 2025.

Sat, 11/29/2025 - 22:27

After being terrorized by constant Black Friday ads on our phones, TVs, and inboxes for a month straight, one has to wonder: Of all of the best Black Friday deals, what do people actually buy on Black Friday? Are Black Friday classics like TVs on sale actually the most popular purchase, or is everyone thinking ahead by stocking up on cleaning supplies and toilet paper?

For Mashable readers, the most popular Black Friday deals were more of a brand thing. Apple and DJI dominated much of the top of the list of our most-bought items, with several grocery deals creeping in a little further down. (What's everyone making with all of that damn Amazon brand cream cheese?) But it was a Pokémon Elite Trainer Box sitting in the number one spot. If you know anyone who's big on Pokémon cards, you've probably heard the term "Mega Evolutions" at least once or twice. Yep, the top item had to do with that.

SEE ALSO: Are Amazon's Cyber Monday prices better than Black Friday? Our shopping experts say the answer is clear.

Below, we're breaking down the top Black Friday items that Mashable swarmed to on Friday, Nov. 28 itself. If any of this convinces you to make the same purchase, just know that most of these popular Black Friday deals are still live (though they may be called Cyber Monday deals now).

Pokémon TCG Mega Evolutions 1 Elite Trainer Box Opens in a new window Credit: Pokémon Pokémon TCG Mega Evolutions Elite Trainer Box $105 at Amazon
  Shop Now

The most serious Pokémon card collectors will camp out outside of a GameStop if they have to, but the option to simply buy a coveted new release at Amazon is clearly preferred. Mashable readers hustled when we let them know that the Mega Evolutions 1 Elite Trainer Box dropped below market value to $79.69 on Nov. 28. It's now back up to $105, but it's somehow still in stock.

The Mega Evolutions Booster Bundle, readers' second most purchased item on Black Friday, is also still in stock at $64.95.

Apple AirPods 4 Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods 4 $69 at Amazon
$129 Save $60   Get Deal

We can pretty confidently crown the $69 AirPods as the most nuts Black Friday Apple deal. That's a 47% price drop from their usual $129, and by Apple's standards, a sale price like $69 is basically giving them away.

The AirPods 4 with ANC were also quite popular with readers, and they're still at their record-low price of $139.99 at Amazon.

DJI Mic Mini Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case) $79.99 at Amazon

This is everyone's year to become a content creator, huh? The DJI Mic Mini was easily the favorite Black Friday DJI deal of Mashable readers, specifically the bundle that includes one receiver and two mics/transmitters. It makes sense: DJI's super lightweight pocket microphone system is such an easy way to make recorded audio sound better, as Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard can confirm.

The 2 TX + 1 RX Mic Mini has sold out at Amazon but is still available on sale for $79.99 at Best Buy.

Apple AirTag Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirTag $17 at Amazon

After the AirPods 4, the humble Apple AirTag was the second most popular Apple item amongst Mashable readers. No surprises here — knowing the physical location of your wallet, backpack, or luggage is essentially buying peace of mind. AirTags make a great gift idea for just about anyone, and at $17 a pop for Black Friday, why not grab a few?

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select $19.99

Out of all of the Echo devices, Fire Tablets, and Kindles on sale, the most popular Amazon device deal among Mashable readers was actually the Fire TV Stick 4K Select (Amazon's newest and most budget-friendly Fire stick). The 50% off deal on the newest Fire TV Stick is too good to pass up — surely the fleeting promo code that brought it down to just $9.99 drove numbers, too.

The best DJI deals still live after Black Friday: Record-low deals on mics, drones, power stations

Sat, 11/29/2025 - 21:49
The best Black Friday DJI deals at a glance: Best mic deal DJI Mic Mini $66 (save $53) Get Deal Best drone deal DJI Mini 4K Drone Combo $309 (save $80) Get Deal Best pocket camera deal DJI Osmo Pocket 3 $529 (save $270) Get Deal

Black Friday has come and gone again this year, but there's no shortage of discounts on premium tech now that it's time for Cyber Monday to take the spotlight. But the deals started even before the shopping events did. In fact, since the start of the month, we've been seeing a wide range of early-access deals on big brands like DJI. If you're looking for premium, DJI is a good place to start.

DJI features heavily in Black Friday sales, especially with the sale just a few days away. So far, I spotted discounts on the DJI Mic Mini, the DJI Osmo 360 camera, and the DJI Air 3 drone, just to name a few popular products. As Mashable has reported, a total ban on DJI drones in the United States could be implemented by the end of the year. With that uncertainty floating in the air, heavy discounts on DJI are needed now more than ever.

SEE ALSO: Everything we know about the looming DJI drone ban in the United States

I've tracked down several DJI deals that have caught my eye for Black Friday and are still gong strong as of the weekend ahead of Cyber Monday. Check out my top picks below:

Editor's note: Currently, many DJI products are unavailable in the United States through official retailers, which is why we've included deals from third-party sellers at Amazon.

DJI Mic Mini

The DJI Mic Mini is a product that Mashable's tech editor, Timothy Beck Werth, considers to be among the best Black Friday tech deals available right now. This wireless mic, which is a huge hit with content creators, has a helpful magnetic attachment that can be clipped onto a shirt. Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard also tested out the mic, and determined, "If you need any degree of portability with your mic setup, the DJI Mic Mini offers a lot of versatility, and for a great value. That makes it a solid option for making vlogs and TikToks, and for anyone who feels less than confident with their tech skills — once I plugged the receiver into my phone, the mics connected easily and started working with the camera app automatically."

This particular offer comes as a bundle which includes two DJI Mic Mini TX, one RX, and a few additional accessories.

$119 Save $53   Get Deal DJI Osmo 360 Camera

If you're a content creator looking to add an action camera to your setup, this discount on the DJI Osmo 360 is well worth a look. Whether you're capturing footage during the day or night, it can support 8K/30fps videos for up to 100 minutes and offers plenty of space to hold everything (105GB of built-in storage, to be exact). Plus, it launched just earlier this summer, making this nearly $200 markdown especially impressive. (It's also out of stock on DJI's website.)

It even has a waterproof and cold-resistant design that's built to handle a variety of elements, so you don't have to worry about it getting damaged on shoot. This bundle comes with the Osmo 360 camera, an Osmo Action Extreme Battery Plus (1950 mAh), a protective pouch, a lens cleaning cloth, a USB-C to USB-C PD cable, and a rubber lens protector.

$549.99 Save $192.50   Get Deal DJI Mini 4K Drone Combo

Drone deals are something the Mashable team is keeping a close eye on over Black Friday, and DJI is no exception. One of the best we spotted so far is on the DJI Mini 4K Drone Combo.

Mashable's team had hoped to see the Mini 4K drone go on sale, and while it did briefly drop down to $239, it has since gone back up to $299. However, if you're able to invest a bit more, the combo set is $80 off for Prime members, and comes with a shoulder bag, two batteries, and a propeller holder, making it more convenient to take on the go (and giving you an additional 31 minutes of battery life over the non-combo version). You'll also get access to the same 4K video and three-axis gimbal stabilization you would on the cheaper drone.

$389 Save $80   Get Deal DJI Osmo Action 4

If you're looking for a cheaper action camera than the one listed above, the DJI Osmo Action 4 is also on sale right now at Amazon. It features a 155-degree FOV that supports up to 4K/60fps video recording and also features a durable build that's waterproof up to 18 meters and can handle cooler temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit). No matter where you decide to take it, this little camera is ready for the adventure.

This Standard Combo will set you up with the DJI Osmo Action 4, a battery, a quick-release adapter mount, a horizontal-vertical protective frame, a curved adhesive base, an Osmo locking screw, a Type-C to Type-C PD cable, a lens hood, an anti-slip pad, and a DJI logo sticker.

$299 Save $90   Get Deal DJI Power 2000 Portable Power Station

A good portable power station can go a long way, and this is one of our favorites. We consider the DJI Power 2000 to be the best portable power station for content creators, as it "proved its worth as a multi-tasker, charging up a phone and camera battery and cooking dinner in the air fryer at the same time." It is currently sporting a nice coupon on Amazon, so you can save during Black Friday.

It's normally listed for $1,299, but this Black Friday deal shaves its price nearly in half, bringing it down to $699 (which amounts to a 47% discount). If you're a content creator or someone looking to have backup power at home or on the go, this powerhouse is a worthy pickup with its 15 ports and expansion up to 22.5kWh.

$1,299 Save $600   Get Deal DJI Osmo Pocket 3

For content creators shopping around over Black Friday, this is another camera deal to check out before the main event. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 vlogging camera features a one-inch CMOS sensor that can record up to 4K resolution videos at 120fps. It even features a touchscreen that can be rotated so you can choose to shoot horizontally or vertically.

There's a lot in this bundle to get you started. The camera comes with a protective cover, wrist strap, a handle with a 1/4-inch thread, and a Type-C to Type-C PD cable.

$799 Save $269.01   Get Deal DJI RS 4 Mini Gimbal Stabilizer

If you're filming frequently, it's important to keep the camera you're using steady as you capture. The DJI RS 4 Mini Gimbal Stabilizer can help with that, and it's currently discounted at Amazon for Black Friday. This stabilizer can support mirrorless cameras, vlog cameras, and phones up to 2kg/4.4lbs. It also comes with everything you need to get started, including the DJI RS 4 Mini gimbal, a tripod, a quick-release plate, an L-shaped multi-camera control cable, a USB-C charging cable, and a screw kit.

It's officially the best time of year to buy a TV. And you don't even have to wake up at 2 a.m., ready to throw fists in a Walmart.

We're live tracking the best Black Friday deals on TVs every day through Cyber Monday. Find our recommendations organized by retailer and size below, including a heads up if a highlighted model has already sold out at another retailer (in other words, grab it ASAP). There's still plenty of time to shop with all these discounts live and ready to go, but you'll want to pounce if you don't want to miss out!

Psst: If you're not sure what to do with your old TV, you can recycle it at most Best Buy stores for free.

While this mini TV won't win any awards for its display, it has all the essentials you need in an extra TV. So, if you're looking for a TV for your bedroom, kitchen, or small apartment, consider this popular Amazon TV. It's hard to argue with a $99.99 price tag, which seems like a mistake in the era of inflation and tariffs. The 2-series uses the Fire TV OS to get you connected to streaming services like Apple TV and HBO Max, and it comes with an Alexa voice remote.

$329.99 Save $130 Sold out at Amazon Get Deal Why we like it

This deal really highlights why we love the Hisense TV brand so much: you can get a QLED 4K TV for under $200. The QD6 model is a well-rounded budget TV that utilizes the Fire TV platform and features built-in Alexa, as well as Dolby Vision HDR and DTS Virtual X audio for better picture quality and crisper sound. It won't wow you quite like a premium QLED would, but you'll still notice a difference from the quantum dots — particularly when watching in the daytime. This 50-inch model is great for smaller living rooms, bedrooms, and apartments, and at $199.99, it's beating its Prime Day price by nearly $40 at Best Buy.

Best Black Friday 65-inch TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: TCL TCL 65-inch QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV $899.99 at Best Buy
$2,499.99 Save $1,600.00   Get Deal Why we like it

If you're not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. And our top pick for most people is TCL's QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV, thanks to its impressive brightness, stellar picture quality, contrast, shadow detail, and budget-conscious pricing.

"While this intensity of brightness makes the QM8K a solid choice for watching TV in daylight, its more-precise-than-usual backlights keep details crisp in a dark room. The new anti-halo effect is an effective fix for some of the blooming its predecessor experienced," Mashable's Leah Stodart notes. It's typically a $2,500 TV, but this Black Friday deal at Best Buy has dropped the cost of the 65-inch model down below $900. Amazon has the same model listed for $2 less, but as it comes from a third-party seller, we're more inclined to go with Best Buy.

Walmart's excellent deal on the TCL QM6K TV, which our friends at CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed the "best TV under $1,000 in 2025," is currently unmatched at Amazon or Best Buy. It checks all the boxes you want in a new TV: impressive picture quality with vibrant colors, smooth streaming interface (via Google TV), a high refresh rate for gaming (144Hz), and a killer price tag. At $698, this Black Friday deal not only beats its Prime Day price by more than $50, but it marks a new record-low. It's not quite as impressive as its QM8K sibling, but the QM6K is "a stellar mini LED TV for the low-to-mid-tier price range," as our team pointed out in our roundup of the best TVs for 2025.

$1,197.99 Save $300   Get Deal Why we like it

We think the 2025 edition of The Frame, Samsung's cult-favorite art TV, is probably the best TV of the year on balance. While you can find premium LG and Samsung OLEDs with better displays, they will cost a lot more, and they lack the cool factor you get with The Frame. This art TV is ultra-thin, blending perfectly into your home decor. It also has a very unique matte, anti-glare display. Often imitated but never equaled, The Frame is truly special, and this is one of the year's best Black Friday tech deals so far.

$3,299.99 Save $1,000 Comes with a free $100 gift card Get Deal Why we like it

While we do think the LG C5 is the best OLED TV you can buy right now, it's not necessarily the best Black Friday OLED TV deal. For example, the $1,399.99 "sale price" on the 65-inch C5 at Best Buy looks like an incredible deal until you realize that that TV has been $1,399.99 at Amazon since October. (Camelcamelcamel spills the price history tea once again.)

In terms of legit record-low discounts, the 65-inch Samsung S95F OLED's $1,000 discount is new for Black Friday, and you'll get a free $100 Best Buy gift card on top of that. The S95F is still one of our top OLED recommendations, mostly due to its anti-glare matte finish that's highly effective in bright rooms.

These headphones are perfect for those who love a little extra punch of bass in their sound. The battery life lasts up to 50 hours, and a 10-minute fast charge gives up to five hours of extra playback time, so that your headphones will always have fuel for you to use.

The headphones are also incredibly comfortable as the ear cushions are soft, yet durable, making them ideal for long-term wear. The customizable sliders ensure that you’ll be able to adjust the headphones to fit. The spatial audio and dynamic head tracking features make your audio more immersive, too.

Not only will you receive the headphones, but you’ll also get a carry case, a USB-C cable for charging, and a 3.5mm analog audio cable if you’d like a wired connection. These Walmart-exclusive Beats Solo 4 are currently on sale for $79 instead of the listed $129. However, every other color has a $199.95 list price and is on sale for $129.95. So this deal is even better than it looks on paper.

Be sure to check out other deals from Black Friday, as there’s still plenty to go around, especially within tech.

Legos are some of our favorite deals to check up on during Black Friday. Not only do Lego sets make for excellent stocking stuffers, building a set with family and friends during holiday get-togethers is a quiet way to enjoy some time together.

Black Friday is technically over but that hasn't stopped the deals from rolling in. We're seeing new record-low prices on dozens of Lego sets, and some of them only dropped to new lows today — the day after Black Friday. We suggest jumping on these deals soon (like now) if you see something you like. Lego set deals have a tendency to disappear in an instant (sometimes before we can even hit publish on these articles) so don't delay.

Here some of Amazon's best Lego Black Friday deals that are still live.

The Lego Santa's Sleigh build is sure to add to the holiday decor this year. This 343-piece set is designed for builders aged nine and up and comes with delightful holiday details like Santa min-figure with his naughty and nice list and a sleigh packed with toys.

The Lego Insect Collection is one of those most delightful builds for anyone who enjoys nature. It includes three insects — a life-size blue morpho butterfly, Hercules beetle, and a Chinese mantis. This Lego set usually sells for $79.99 but it's down to just $40 at Amazon after Black Friday. This is a new all-time low price by a long shot.

Amazon warns of major Black Friday impersonation scam targeting millions of users

Sat, 11/29/2025 - 20:14

Amazon is alerting its more than 300 million active customers to a widespread impersonation scam ramping up during the holiday shopping season. According to new reporting from the Asbury Park Press, the scheme employs fake notifications, malicious links, and fraudulent websites to deceive shoppers into divulging sensitive information, such as financial details or Amazon account credentials.

SEE ALSO: Social media companies to be held liable for financial scams under new EU rules

As the outlet explains, Amazon described the fraud in a Nov. 24 email obtained by Forbes, warning that cybercriminals are "targeting Amazon users by reaching out to try and get access to sensitive information like personal or financial information, or Amazon account details." The scam relies heavily on browser notifications pushed through compromised or malicious websites — a tactic that has become increasingly common as shoppers flood the internet in search of Black Friday and holiday deals.

The scale of the problem is significant. The Asbury Park Press cites data from FortiGuard Labs, showing that more than 700 malicious holiday-themed domains have been registered in the last three months, many using keywords such as "Christmas," "Black Friday," and "Flash Sale" to lure unsuspecting shoppers. These sites are being used to launch a variety of scam attempts, including:

  • Fake delivery or “account issue” messages

  • Too-good-to-be-true third-party deals advertised on social media

  • Requests for payment or account information through unofficial channels

With Black Friday deals in full swing, Amazon says staying vigilant is the best defense.

The best Black Friday earbuds deals still live: Latest price drops on AirPods, Sony, and Bose earbuds

Sat, 11/29/2025 - 19:48

Though we've been seeing great deals all month, the Black Friday sales event is now extending into Cyber Weekend. And with it, the best deals of the season. Already, we've seen popular Black Friday deals start to drop away. The AirPods 4 with ANC for $99? Back up to $139. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)? Back up to $249 at Amazon, though Best Buy still has them for $216, but not for much longer.

While we saw some early Black Friday earbuds deals last week, Thanksgiving week has brought plenty more record prices, with Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target hosting sales. Walmart and Amazon have the Apple AirPods 4 down to a new record-low of $69, Walmart had the AirPods Pro 2 down to $139 (they're now $199), and Amazon brought back its classic $35 Echo Buds with ANC deal (and it's already sold out). More premium releases are on sale too: The new second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are down to $249, and the Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ100 are getting a rare markdown, hitting their lowest price ever at $222.99.

In this story, you'll find the best Black Friday deals still live on earbuds, including noise-cancelling earbuds, sleep earbuds, and sports buds. We'll continue updating this post through Cyber Monday, so check back if you're looking for more earbuds savings.

The second-gen Bose QC Ultra earbuds dropped this past September and got their first discount by the end of the same month, with a nearly $83 price cut. While they dropped to their lowest price yet on Black Friday, they're back at their $216 price from November. With their rich sound, excellent noise cancellation, and nearly unbeatable comfort, they're certainly a premium earbud, and on sale, an absolutely great value.

The Shokz OpenDots One are Mashable's favorite open earbuds for most people, but they can be tricky to catch on sale. In his review, Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti sang their praises, noting the sound quality that rivaled the more expensive Bose Ultra Open earbuds (also on sale), the 10 hours of battery life per charge, and great touch controls (which are not to be underrated, especially if you plan on using these earbuds while exercising).

The Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds aren't your only viable option for sleep earbuds, but at this sale price of $107.99, they may be the best value. While the newer A30 buds (also on sale) offer ANC and some white noise features, we don't think they necessarily justify a $72 price difference, making the A30 buds firmly an upgrade option, and the A20 buds the best option for most people. Even with just the passive noise cancellation, they were able to block standard nighttime sounds like noisy neighbors, street noise, and AC units. They're especially great if you plan on streaming audio.

Everything to know about Amazons 2025 Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales: Official dates, best deals still live, and Prime perks

Sat, 11/29/2025 - 18:51

And just like that, Black Friday has come and gone. Amazon has officially moved on to Cyber Monday deals.

Amazon turned up and turned out some epic Black Friday deals. If the influx of deals in your inbox gave you hives, and you've yet to make a purchase, we're breaking down all of the details of Amazon's sale and what you should shop.

Amazon Black Friday deals at a glance: Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones $248 (save $151.99 + get $30 Amazon credit with code SONYX30) Get Deal Amazon Kindle $79.99 (save $30) Get Deal Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 $349 (save $450) Get Deal Ninja Slushi $269.99 (save $100) Get Deal Sony ULT Field 5 $194.95 (save $155.04) Get Deal Amazon 65-inch QLED Mini-LED 4K Fire TV $894.99 (save $195) Get Deal

Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year. What used to be a single day on the Friday after Thanksgiving has morphed into a full-blown holiday shopping season that starts far before the holiday itself and extends through December. But we're not complaining. Having more time to sort out your finances and shop is a blessing in a time when everything is outrageously expensive. That being said, Amazon has wiped its hands of Black Friday and moved on to Cyber Monday as of Saturday, Nov. 29.

Unlike its major competitors — Walmart, Best Buy, and Target — Amazon doesn't have a physical storefront where you can wait in line to score doorbuster deals. Amazon typically has the best prices of the bunch, and sometimes it will undercut its rivals by pennies or dollars, as if taunting them. Again, we're not complaining, because nothing beats shopping from your couch with a turkey hangover on Black Friday.

So, here's everything you need to know about the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale, including the best Amazon deals already live.

When is the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale?

The mega-retailer's Black Friday sale kicked off early on Thursday, Nov. 20 and will run through the end of the day Friday, Nov. 28. And as of this morning, it has officially wrapped up.

But honestly, most of Amazon's Black Friday deals last through Monday; they're just going by Cyber Monday deals. Yes, Amazon does do Cyber Monday as well. You've got time to shop, too. The official Amazon Cyber Monday sale runs through Monday, Dec. 1, which is when you can consider Amazon's Black Friday sale to be over.

SEE ALSO: Are Amazon's Cyber Monday prices better than Black Friday? Our shopping experts say the answer is clear. Does Amazon have better deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Our shopping experts are unanimous — Black Friday is the best time to shop. If you're holding out for a last-minute price drop on Cyber Monday, don't hold your breath. Amazon does hold back a handful of deals for Cyber Monday (Cyber Week, really), but the biggest savings from the most popular brands were available on Black Friday. In fact, some products have gone up in price. The Apple AirPods 4 with ANC shot up from $99.99 to $139 now that Black Friday ended.

The verdict: Prices are usually lowest on Black Friday itself, though most deals will linger through Cyber Monday.

SEE ALSO: The 50 best tech gifts of the year, hand-picked by professional gadget nerds Best early Cyber Monday deals at Amazon

Amazon's Black Friday event didn't necessarily end, but was repackaged as Cyber Monday, so most of the sale is the same. It's packed with deals that range from today's best tech to kitchen appliances to toys that all the kids want under the tree this year. We've rounded up some of the best deals we've seen at Amazon for Black Friday and now Cyber Monday, but be sure to follow along with our shopping team's full coverage for a wider range of products.

Still looking for more deals? We have a much bigger running list of the best Cyber Monday deals at Amazon, broken down by categories like Apple products, headphones, TVs, kitchen gadgets, beauty tech, and more. If you're stumped on a good gift idea, you'll find one in there.

Do I need to be a Prime member to shop on Cyber Monday?

While some deals will be available to everyone, the best Amazon Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are always Prime exclusives. So, if you've somehow resisted and avoided signing up for Amazon Prime until now, then you can take advantage of a 30-day free trial that will take you through the holiday shopping season. After the trial ends, you'll be charged $14.99 per month. You can also sign up for Prime Access-only plans, which give you benefits like free shipping and returns, but no extra perks like Prime Video access.

Prime members get perks such as:

  • Exclusive Black Friday deals

  • Access to Prime Video

  • Amazon Music

  • Free Grubhub+

  • Free delivery and returns

Price check before you buy SEE ALSO: Best Buy's early Black Friday deals are live. As a shopping reporter, here's what I would buy now.

Just about every deal probably looks great upon first glance, but it's wise to do a few extra seconds of research, especially if it's a pricier investment. To confirm you're actually getting a good deal, head to camelcamelcamel to check on a product's price history. Just copy the Amazon URL into the price tracker, and you'll get full stats. On occasion, Amazon can make a deal look better than it actually is by inflating the list price. On the flip side, we've also seen Amazon post the list price as something lower than the recommended MSRP, which can spell an awesome deal for Amazon shoppers. The Mashable shopping team uses camelcamelcamel daily throughout the entire year.

ChatGPT might be serving you ads soon, leak suggests

Sat, 11/29/2025 - 18:20

Looks like ads really are coming to ChatGPT.

In a post on X, Tibor Blaho, an engineer at AIPRM who has found leaks like these in the past, showed some coding from the ChatGPT Android app 1.2025.329 beta. It includes "new references to an 'ads feature' with 'bazaar content,' 'search ad' and 'search ads carousel.'"

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

If this comes to fruition, it means the free version of the ChatGPT app is about to get ads. This isn't new to search functions in general — you're probably used to seeing ads on Google, for instance.

ChatGPT has been reluctant to put ads on its app, instead opting for a revenue stream tied to subscriptions to its Pro version and access to its API.

However, the company is still not profitable. According to a report from HSBC, OpenAI won’t make money until 2030, and the company needs to find an extra $207 billion to power its growth plans in the meantime, Forbes reported.

This shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, said in a podcast over the summer that while the company hasn't "done any advertising product yet," that doesn't mean it's off the table. After all, roughly 800 million people use ChatGPT every week; that's a significant audience to target for advertising.

"I'm not totally against it. I can point to areas where I like ads. I think ads on Instagram, kinda cool. I bought a bunch of stuff from them. But I am, like, I think it'd be very hard to…I mean, take a lot of care to get right," Altman said at the time.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

Everything to know about Best Buy Black Friday 2025: Doorbusters, best deals still live, ad highlights

Sat, 11/29/2025 - 17:46

Best Buy has been treating the entire month of November like one drawn-out holiday deal dump, and even now that Black Friday has passed, there are still hundreds of markdowns on name-brand tech across all departments. Its main attractions include record-low prices on big-ticket items like QLED 4K TVs and Windows laptops, free $100 gift cards attached to OLED TVs, plus revolving rounds of doorbusters that feature bonus rewards for paid My Best Buy members.

Best Buy's Black Friday deals are available online and in stores, so if you want to visit a nearby location to check out a gadget before you buy it, the option is there. But the deals only last so long. Best Buy's Black Friday sale ends today, Nov. 29, so we expect to see doorbuster deals disappear soon.

Here's everything you need to know about Best Buy's Black Friday sale before you shop, including its opening hours, doorbuster lineup, holiday return policy, price-match guarantee, and the best deals to shop now.

When is Best Buy's Black Friday sale?

Best Buy's Black Friday sale began on Thursday, Nov. 20, and wraps up today, Saturday, Nov. 29. All of its feature deals are available in stores, online, and on the Best Buy mobile app, according to a company press release.

When is Best Buy's Cyber Monday sale?

Best Buy kicks off its Cyber Monday savings event tomorrow, Sunday, Nov. 30, and runs for 48 hours through Dec. 1 (aka actual Cyber Monday). The company's press release notes that "there will be limited-time deals available throughout the event," so expect a slightly different assortment than its Black Friday sale.

What time does Best Buy open on Black Friday?

Best Buy stores opened at 6 a.m. local time on Black Friday, but as of Saturday, Nov. 29, stores will resume normal hours.

Does Best Buy do doorbusters?

Yes, Best Buy is supplementing its Black Friday deals with some limited-time doorbusters, which it's billing as "some of the best deals on the hottest tech of the season." These offers drop in batches every Friday through Christmas, and paid My Best Buy members earn $5 in bonus rewards for every $50 they spend on them (up to $25). That includes the Plus and Total membership tiers.

I've listed all of Best Buy's current doorbusters below. All of them are decent deals except for the EA video games and the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, which are cheaper to buy from Amazon and/or Walmart.

Best Black Friday deals at Best Buy

I've spent hours upon hours combing through Best Buy's Black Friday deals, and I've identified just over 150 of them that are worth shopping. (By that I mean they aren't one-upped by better offers at other retailers.) Here's a quick look at the highlights:

$499.99 Save $120   Get Deal Does Best Buy price match?

Best Buy doesn't price-match competitors' deals during Black Friday, but it will price-match itself. If something you've bought there from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 gets cheaper during that period, you can request to have your purchase adjusted to the better price through Jan. 15, 2026. The only items that aren't covered by this price-match guarantee are holiday decorations and products that come with a third-party contract (like smartphones).

For example, if you purchased a pair of Apple AirPods Max for $429.99 at Best Buy earlier this week, you should be able to take advantage of their new lower price of $399.99 (live as of Nov. 25).

What is Best Buy's return policy?

Under its extended holiday return policy, Best Buy will accept returns for most items purchased from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 through Jan. 15, 2026. That deadline stretches to Jan. 31 for paid My Best Buy members.

Similar exclusions apply here. Holiday decorations have a 15-day return window, for one. "Activatable" devices (meaning those that come with data plans) can only be returned within 14 days, and they have a $45 restocking fee if opened. Scooters, drones, digital cameras, action cameras, lenses, projectors, fitness recovery devices, cold tubs, saunas, and special-order products have a 15% restocking fee if they're unboxed.

Is the LG C5 OLED TV deal as good as it seems?

Serious deal hunters will notice a conspicuous absence from this guide: The award-winning LG C5 OLED TV, specifically the 65-inch model. A lot of our competitors are writing about Best Buy's Black Friday deal on it, and it's easy to see why. The retailer has it listed for $1,399.99, or $1,300 off its usual price. That's a really attractive discount on what's arguably the best TV ever made.

However, this deal isn't as good as it seems. Amazon has been selling the same TV for $1,346.99, but on Black Friday, it dropped prices all the way down to $1,219.99.

But as for the actual best Black Friday OLED TV deal, we're giving that title to the Samsung S95F OLED. That's another of our top OLED TV recommendations for its wickedly effective glare handling, and the 65-inch model is $1,000 off at Best Buy with a free $100 gift card on top.

While Arceus isn't optimized for Nintendo Switch 2, it's still such a great game. With a cheeky discount for Black Friday week thrown in, you should see what you've been missing out on.

I love the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, and its $270 off for Cyber Monday at Best Buy

Sat, 11/29/2025 - 17:15

SAVE $270: Through Cyber Monday at Best Buy, you can get the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 4K Gimbal Camera at Best Buy for 34% off its usual price of $799.99, a huge $270 discount.

Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Osmo Pocket 3 $529.99 at DJI
$799.99 Save $270 Mashable Tested ✅ Get Deal

I reviewed the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for Mashable in late 2023, and I gave it 4.8 out of 5 stars and a Mashable Choice Award. I've never been sadder to send back a product. In the two years since, whenever I attend an event where vloggers or creators gather, I see this camera everywhere. It's a cult-favorite camera among creators, and it's made appearances in Mashable's In My Bag series as well.

If this camera is on your wishlist already, but the $799.99 price tag has stopped you, then I have very good news. This camera almost never goes on sale, but right now, it's $270 off as part of Best Buy's Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale. That's a huge discount, and it makes this 4K gimbal camera much more affordable. For creators, this is probably the best Black Friday deal so far.

SEE ALSO: 150+ Best Buy Black Friday deals that aren't cheaper anywhere else: AirPods Max, mini LED TVs, and more

What makes this camera so special? It's a gimbal camera that shoots steady video even as you navigate a crowded space, letting you easily pan and track as needed. It can also identify and follow faces when you or a subject is speaking directly to the camera, helping you shoot professional-quality footage wherever you are. It also features a rotatable 2-inch touchscreen, so you can see exactly what's in frame at any given moment.

The 3-axis stabilization ensures you always get smooth footage, and the camera itself is also impressive. The 1-inch CMOS sensor can capture 4K video at 120fps (it records in MP4 format). In my review, I said that "I can't imagine a better social video camera," and in the two years since its release, it's still the gold standard for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and livestreaming.

Is this product available at Amazon?

You can find the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 at Amazon, but only from third-party sellers. For that reason, we'd shop this Cyber Monday deal at Best Buy.

DJI products are getting harder to find in the U.S. this year thanks to an impending DJI drone ban, so I recommend jumping on this one, and fast.

Prime members can save $5 on $25 of groceries at Amazon through Cyber Monday

Sat, 11/29/2025 - 16:47

SAVE $5 WHEN YOU SPEND $25: Even as Black Friday winds down, the savings are still plentiful, especially on essentials. Amazon is running a fantastic promotion on groceries that saves you $5 off $25 of select groceries.

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon $5 off $25 of Amazon Groceries Promotion available on select groceries. Get Deal

What's the state of your post-Thanksgiving fridge? I know ours is packed to the brim with leftovers. But if you're on your last Tupperware of turkey or needing to restock on groceries for the week, there's a Black Friday deal for you. Right now, Amazon is helping you save on groceries.

As of Nov. 29, save $5 on $25 of select Amazon groceries. That's an easy 20% off that goes back in your pocket. Plus, the best part is that with Amazon groceries, you can get them delivered, giving you more time on the couch and less time among the crowds.

This promotion applies to select groceries, but luckily, it's not on obscure or expensive specialty items. The discount applies to everyday items to keep you well-nourished and fed. Grab fresh fruit like blueberries and raspberries, snacks like Ritz crackers and cheese sticks, and even sweet treats like Lindt truffles.

Amazon's grocery promotion ends Dec. 1 at 11:59 pm PT, so you have until Cyber Monday to shop.

Black Friday is technically over, but most of the savings live on for a little while longer. You may not think of the Black Friday season as a time to grab outdoor gear, but you'd be surprised at how many big price drops we've seen on everything from portable power stations and outdoor speakers to coolers and hydration essentials.

Whether you want to gear up for cold-weather adventures, stock up for spring and summer camping, or grab some holiday gifts for great prices, 'tis the season to score outdoor deals. We're tracking all of the best Black Friday outdoor deals below as we head into Cyber Monday, so check back for the latest deals.

Some popular favorites got the real deal treatment for Black Friday — like LifeStraw personal water filters, Coleman tents and camping gear, and action cameras from DJI and GoPro. Thankfully, for all you procrastinators out there, most of those deals are still live as we head into Cyber Monday. We've even spied some deals on outdoor apparel from Arc'teryx on sale.

Be sure to follow along with Mashable's coverage of every category in our Black Friday and Cyber Monday hubs.

$1,499 Save $820   Get Deal Why we like it

A solid mid-range power station, the small and mighty Explorer 2000 v2 is lightweight enough (under 40 pounds) to carry with you on camping trips, boating, tailgating, and other outdoor adventures. It's also equipped with 2,042Wh capacity, which makes it powerful enough to serve as a home battery backup in emergencies as well. That's enough power to keep your fridge running for over a day, heat up a meal in the microwave, and brew plenty of cups of coffee. It packs three AC outlets, one USB-A port, and two USB-C ports, as well as a built-in light and super-charge emergency mode on board for a variety of needs. It dropped to a record-low $699 for Black Friday — $800 off its $1,499 list price — and we didn't think it could get any lower. But somehow, post-Black Friday, it dropped another $20. In this case, procrastinating paid off.

Note: Amazon has deflated its list price, which sells this deal short. It's usually listed for $1,499, making it a much more impressive 55% in savings.

A quality Bluetooth speaker makes a great companion in the great outdoors and the JBL Charge 6 is our favorite. It's powerful enough to be used for an outdoor party, but still lightweight enough at just 2 pounds to tote around. It even comes with a handy removable strap for ultra portability. Plus, as its name suggests, it can charge other devices via USB-C. We don't love that it's $20 more than its predecessor at $199.95, but this Black Friday deal dropped it to a more palatable $129.95 at both Amazon and Best Buy. And thankfully, the deal is still live post-Black Friday if you missed out.

Everything to know about Walmart Black Friday 2025: When does the sale end, best deals, and Cyber Monday early access

Sat, 11/29/2025 - 16:41

Black Friday is here, and as a consumer, it's totally overwhelming. You're getting inundated with so many deals from every single retailer, and it's hard to stay focused and find the best deals. Right now, we're focusing on one retailer's Black Friday sale: Walmart.

Black Friday deals are still lingering, which you can shop online and on the Walmart mobile app, so feel free to shop from your couch instead. Plus, Cyber Monday is coming, and the bulk of those deals will be online too.

No — Walmart won't price-match other retailers' Black Friday deals, and it doesn't offer retroactive price adjustments. However, if something you bought there recently gets cheaper later on during its Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales, you can always just return it and rebuy it. Under Walmart's extended holiday return policy, most items purchased in stores or online from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 are returnable until Jan. 31, 2026.

Paid Walmart+ members got to shop the retailer's Black Friday sale five hours before everyone else, and they'll get the same opportunity ahead of its Cyber Monday sale. The deals will open to Walmart+ members in early access at 7 p.m. ET on Nov. 30.
