Let me start by saying I’m team iPhone. I’ve owned one since the iPhone 6s. (!!) That said, I watch a lot of K-dramas (you need to stream Gyeongseong Creature) and I admit that I get a little phone envy when I see characters pull out their Galaxy phones. So if I were to switch — I think I’d go Samsung Galaxy. Right now, Samsung is slashing up to $1,575 off all Galaxy phones with trade-in. Naturally, you’ll get a juicier discount with trade-in, but even if you don’t have an old phone to trade, you can still score a sweet discount. While you’re at it, check out our Samsung Black Friday deals roundup written by deals editor extraordinaire, Millie Davis-Williams.

My favorite bed is on sale…
It’s been well over a year since I wrote our Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress review and you know what — I still love this bed. It’s a hybrid bed, which means it’s made of both memory foam and coils. I personally love it because it gives me the cradling/soft sensation of a memory foam bed, but without that sinking sensation (thank you, coils). I sleep on my back and side a lot and I find this bed to be super comfortable for those positions. It’s also great at isolating motion (my partner doesn’t feel when I get up from bed in the middle of the night).
Stomach sleepers may want to look elsewhere as I didn’t find it too comfortable for that. I was also a tad disappointed that the sides/corners of the mattress tend to sink in. (Keep in mind I’m 6’3″ and weigh 245 lbs….ok, 250 lbs. after getting married last month). BUT those very minor gripes aside, this is as perfect of a bed as it gets!

The least-expensive OLED TV deal of 2024 is….
Last year Best Buy had the LG A2 OLED on sale for $549. Till this day — it’s the least-expensive OLED TV deal I’ve ever seen. That TV no longer exists and LG’s new (2024) B4 OLED is currently their entry-level model. Right now, Best Buy is selling the 48-inch model for just $599. That’s the cheapest price I’ve ever seen for this OLED all year. In fact, it’s the cheapest OLED TV I’ve seen since that A2 deal from last year.
Is it a good TV? Our TV reviewer Ryan Epps says it’s a “slam-dunk pick” if you’re shopping for an OLED TV on a budget, although there are some things you should know. The 48-inch model is a Best Buy exclusive; otherwise, Amazon has the 65″ on sale for $1,296 (as well as other sizes).

G’morning, all! Deals editor Louis here taking over the live blog for the next few hours. So this month I’m planning on buying a Mac mini M4. (Or maybe an iMac M4….I’m still deciding). It’s gonna replace my aging Intel-based 27″ iMac 5K (2015). That said, I can’t believe there’s already a decent sale on the Mac mini M4. I say that because we just published our Mac mini M4 review a week or so ago and Amazon’s already knocked $50 off the base model.
This is a great chance to snag one with a tidy launch discount, and as you can read in our review it’s worth the price thanks to this silver little box’s remarkable speed. Just make sure to bring your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse as this pint-sized powerhouse doesn’t come with one.

Black Friday deals don’t get better than this! The Hisense U8N is our choice for the best TV and right now it’s on sale for an epic 40% discount. It’s incredibly bright and delivers great all-around picture performance. We already considered it to be great value for money at full price, so right now, it’s a total steal.

This Blink bundle is a great way to give your smart home security setup a boost. The Blink Outdoor 4 is one of the best security cameras we’ve tested, particularly for shoppers on a budget. Its sharp video quality and long battery life make it a winner.
