Android Authority deals editor Joe Maring published a guide showing shoppers how to check whether Black Friday discounts are genuine using price-tracking tools. He highlights CamelCamelCamel, a free tool and Chrome extension, which shows an Amazon product's price history so buyers can compare a 'deal' price against recent months or years.
WIRED published a curated list of early Black Friday headphone and earbud deals for 2026, highlighting discounts on previous-generation models as well as some newly released ones. Notable deals include up to 50% off older Sony headphones and a 20% discount on Apple's AirPods Pro 3. The list was recently updated to add Nothing, CMF, and Shokz products while removing expired deals from Bose, Google, and Beats.
pCloud is promoting its Black Friday Lifetime storage plans, which let customers pay once for storage capacity instead of paying a recurring monthly fee. The company highlights a 2TB Lifetime plan priced below four years of Apple's equivalent iCloud+ subscription, and notes it has offered lifetime plans for nine years to roughly 24 million users under Swiss privacy law.
Retailers including Amazon, Target and Walmart are offering early Black Friday discounts on Apple's AirPods Pro 3, now $200 (20% off), and AirPods Max 2, now $449 ($100 off). The AirPods Pro 3 feature improved noise cancellation, a heart rate sensor, live translation and IP57 water resistance, while the AirPods Max 2 use Apple's H2 chip for better noise cancellation and Siri features.
Atlas Coffee Club's Black Friday promotion, running through December 7, gives buyers a free bag with any two-bag subscription purchase.

Separately, Atlas is offering a free starter kit with purchases of its mushroom coffee blend.
WIRED has published an updated list of early Black Friday mattress deals, highlighting discounts from brands it has previously tested, including Helix, Birch, Plank, Brooklyn Bedding, Bryte, DreamCloud, Wamsutta, Essentia, and Bearaby. Helix is offering 20 percent off sitewide with the code BF20, plus deeper discounts of 25 percent on Luxe mattresses and 30 percent on Elite mattresses through November 29.
Amazon is selling the Nothing Phone (3) for $499, a $200 discount off its $699 list price, marking a 29% price cut. This matches the lowest price the phone has ever hit on Amazon, a level previously seen only once for a single day.
Nothing's sub-brand CMF has cut the price of its milk carton-shaped Speaker S to $39, a $20 discount, through Amazon and Nothing's own store. The larger Speaker M model is also discounted to $79, a $30 reduction, as part of an early Black Friday promotion.
Amazon is selling the 45mm Garmin Instinct 3 AMOLED smartwatch for $249.99, a $200 discount from its usual price. The rugged watch features a 1.2-inch AMOLED display, metal-reinforced bezel, 10 ATM water resistance, built-in GPS, and a flashlight. Garmin rates its battery life at up to 24 days in smartwatch mode or roughly nine days with the always-on display enabled.
Android Authority has published a running list of early Black Friday 2026 deals, including the Google Pixel Watch 5 at $299.99 (down $100 from launch) and the Garmin fenix E at $399, roughly half its usual price. The outlet says it will keep updating the roundup as new offers appear across phones, tablets, headphones, and smart home gear.
Analysts and consumer advocates say Black Friday deals this year will be weaker than usual, particularly for memory-heavy devices like laptops, tablets and gaming consoles, as global supply pressures push prices higher. Amazon has already raised prices on its Kindles, tablets and Echo speakers ahead of its holiday sales. Products that rely less on RAM, such as robot vacuums and headphones, are expected to see more typical discounts.
Roborock has started early Black Friday discounts on two robot vacuums before its official sale begins November 19. The Qrevo 2 Pro, normally $800, is currently selling for $600, while the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is also priced under $700. Both models combine vacuuming and mopping functions and have been featured in reviewer recommendations.
