Cyber Monday is now over, but some of the deals we've been rooting through over November are continuing for a little while longer. The vast majority of deals have now ended, but we've found a few that are continuing if you're still looking for a new gadget purchase. For example, Samsung's big sale is continuing until the end of the week so you've still got time to grab this great Galaxy Watch 6 deal. Don't expect all of these deals to last much longer though, so if you're excited by the price then we'd recommend buying as soon as possible.

Best Cyber Monday deals you can still buy

  • Front and back of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE in Mint Green, against a white background

    Going fast!

    Samsung's newest phone, the Galaxy S23 FE packages together power and performance to bring you the latest and most affordable flagship in the S23 lineup. For Black Friday it dropped by $200, making it literally half the price of a normal Galaxy S23. It's gone back up by $50 right now after selling strongly, so much so that Amazon only has one color left in stock!

  • oneplus-nord-buds-2-square
    OnePlus Nord Buds 2
    $30 $60 Save $30

    These already affordable OnePlus headphones are now half-price, and you may even want to consider a pair as a backup for when you forget your main set at home. These buds sport the same design and features with some minor refinements to improve on the original. This deal has sold out entirely on Amazon, but OnePlus still has both colors available.

  • Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 in black, positioned at an angle
    Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
    $230 $300 Save $70

    Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung are all taking $70 off the Galaxy Watch 6, but if you've ever owned a smartwatch before, Samsung will take an extra $50 off for any smartwatch in any condition. Enhanced trade-in values for recent and not-so recent Galaxy Watches and Gears can get the Watch 6 down as low as $30!

  • A Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Auto Car Adapter on a white background

    $65 $90 Save $25

    Android Auto can be a literally life-saving feature, allowing you to better see/hear directions and avoid distracting notifications while driving. However, having to plug in every time is an absolute drag. This dongle lets you keep your phone in your pocket and drive safely. Setup can seem a bit weird, but you only have to do it once; just make sure you follow directions.

  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra, white background
    Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

    I have practically lived in these headphones since I reviewed them. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra won't just automatically play or pause the music as you pull one ear back, they automatically turn on and off when you set them down and pick them back up again. Multipoint audio is divine, and Immersive audio doesn't fall into the same pitfalls that "normal" spatial audio does.

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE

    The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE is the Fan Edition of the normal Samsung Galaxy Tab S9. It's got the same look and feel as that tablet, but trades down to a 90Hz LCD display and a slower Exynos chipset to hit a midrange price point that is $50 cheaper despite the tablet being only a few weeks old. Some colorways are starting to sell out.

  • philips-hue-a19-smart-bulb-3-pack
    Philips Hue A19 Smart Bulb - 3 Pack
    $80 $135 Save $55

    I purchased this bundle myself a couple years ago, and whether you want to add some technicolor magic to one room or a whole apartment, this kit is ideal for kickstarting your smart lighting setup or augmenting an existing arrangement. You'll be able to control these bulbs without a Hue Hub if you're just starting out, too, so no need to buy extra equipment yet.

  • Google Nest Hub 2nd Generation on white background angled
    Google Nest Hub 2nd Generation
    $50 $100 Save $50

    Whether you're setting timers in the kitchen while you try to get your holiday dinner properly prepared, checking your security cameras before heading off to bed, or just asking to cycle those dope Philips Hue lights you just installed in the bathroom, Google Nest Hub is still the gold standard for Google Assistant-powered displays, and it's half off for Cyber Monday.

  • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
    $1000 $1800 Save $800

    The Z Fold 5 has a string of different discounts this year. Amazon has a straightforward $500 saving; Best Buy will knock a full $800 off if you can activate the phone today; while Samsung will remove a clean $1,000 if you have a good phone to trade-in at the same time. Whichever you choose, the value here is hard to beat.

Android phone deals

Amazon and Best Buy have been very, very generous with their deals on the best Samsung Galaxy phones. The Galaxy S23 series is getting $100/$200/$300 discounts, but the real winner in that series is $200 off the just-released Galaxy S23 FE. On the foldable front, Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 are $500 and $200 off for a respectable discount to try and compete with the OnePlus Open and Moto's clamshell Razrs. Discounts on the Galaxy A-series are fewer and further between this year, but the Galaxy A54 has dropped to a tempting $325.

Motorola's Razr+ dropped $300 to its cheapest price yet — and $500 for the normal Razr is impulse-buy territory for a folding phone — while the Edge+ doubled its normal $100 discount to $200 off for the holiday shopping season. If you're interested in the freshly-released Google Pixel 8 or 8 Pro, you're out of luck as the Pixel deals we've seen all through Black Friday have now disappeared.

Meanwhile, the OnePlus 11 deal is already sold out for the base storage model at Amazon, and entirely gone at OnePlus's own store, so don't delay if you're considering it. Even though the OnePlus Open is one of our favorite foldable phones to date, it's only $200 off this Black Friday, though trade-ins can help bring that discount as high as $1,200.

Android tablet deals

While deals on iPads are pretty much a given every Cyber Monday, deals on Android tablets are much more varied. This year, we got a new generation of Galaxy Tab S9 tablets, which means this year's Samsung tablet sales are poised to be quite diverse. We're still only seeing free storage upgrades on the Tab S9 series so far, but the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is $400 off for the big-screen tablet experience, and the Tab S9+ is $300 off again, just as we hoped to see. The same Galaxy Tab A8 deals from October have returned - and dropped an extra $10 cheaper - and the Tab S7 FE and Tab S6 Lite are decently discounted as well.

Lenovo's tablets are a bit of a mixed bag: the budget-minded models are seeing their average discounts, but the Pro series has been neglected in favor of deals on the M10 Plus and normal P11. Google matched expectations and got the Pixel Tablet down to $400, though we wish it had gone just a little bit lower, and the OnePlus Pad is sticking to the same price, too.

And rounding out the bottom of the budget barrel, we have the Amazon Fire tablet series: Amazon always discounts its entire tablet lineup, and this year was no exception, especially since the new Fire 11 Max debuted back in April. Amazon seems to have cleaned out its remaining stock of the previous generations of the Fire 7, HD 8, and HD 10, but we're seeing 30-55% range discounts for all Fire tablets, matching the prices we saw in October.

Chromebook deals

Chromebooks are a category that gets a little weird around Cyber Monday. See, Prime Day falls smack dab in the middle of the back-to-school shopping season, and it's around the time most kickass Chromebooks announced in January and launched in May get their first discounts. Black Friday/Cyber Monday is outside that calendar, and November is when the older models that were discontinued that summer tend to sell out forever, but we've been pleasantly surprised with this year's crop of Chromebook deals, especially at Best Buy.

For Lenovo, models to pounce on are the $179 Lenovo Flex 3i (Gen 8) with its 12.2-inch 1080p touchscreen in a compact chassis, the $379 Lenovo Chromebook Plus Flex 5i and the Duet series, the most prevalent and popular Chromebook tablets around. Best Buy is heavily discounting both Lenovo and Acer Chromebooks, including our favorite premium Chromebook, the Acer Chromebook Spin 714. The $129 Spin 311 is also a very tantalizing deal on a Chromebook that's perfect for travel and homework.

If you're looking for budget-minded Chromebooks for school-age kids, you'll need to be extra vigilant about checking model numbers and AUE dates when shopping Amazon's vast ocean of duplicated Chromebook listings. Best Buy's much better about showing model numbers and only having one listing per product, rather than every Chromebook having 15 different listings with various cheap flash drives, microSD cards, and cleaning cloths thrown in.

Earbud, headphone, and audio deals

Super smart wireless earbuds get sweet deals all year long, but Cyber Monday spoils us for choice. The Pixel Buds Pro are back down to $120, same price as the October Prime Days, and this deal is one again so popular that four out of six colors are totally sold out at Best Buy! The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro finally hit $160, too, after months of only seeing $180-$200.

Jabra had almost its entire lineup half-off last year, but only the Elite 5 and Elite 4 series are currently discounted. Similarly, Sennheiser and Bose seem to be keeping to their "standard" $50 off so far this fall for earbuds and $80-100 for headphones, with Bose even taking $80 off its swanky new QuietComfort Ultra headphones, which are utterly glorious to wear. (I've basically spent all of Black Friday week living in mine as I block out noisy neighbors and pipe in chill vibes, and they are serving me again for Cyber Monday.)

sony-wf-1000xm5-in-case-2

The audio deal we were most eagerly awaiting this Cyber Monday was for the new Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds. Launched at the end of July, they were only discounted a paltry $22 during Prime Day Part 2. Now, for Black Friday, the XM5s are down to $250. The previous XM4 buds seem to be getting into shorter supply already, so they're only down to $230, $20 less than the new model.

Sony has also been cycling regular discounts for the over-ear WH-1000XM5 and XM4 regularly all summer — $350 for the XM5 and $280 for the XM4 — and these prices have dropped slightly for Black Friday: $330 for the WH-1000XM5 and $250 for the XM4s.

Smartwatch and wearable deals

The best Black Friday/Cyber Monday smartwatch deal... actually died before Black Friday. Walmart was selling the 42mm Galaxy Watch 4 Classic for $99, but that sold out before midnight Pacific Time Black Friday. However, Walmart is still selling the 46mm model for $149.

Likewise, the $130 Galaxy Watch 4 deal sold out on Black Friday, but we at least still have the deals on the most recent Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic. Samsung is clearing stock of the Galaxy Watch 5, but its $198 deal price is decent, but not a steal when the 6 is available for just $30 more.

Samsung's enhanced trade-in deals for the Galaxy Watch 6 — a guaranteed minimum $50 trade-in and up to $200 for previous Galaxy Watches — make the Galaxy Watch 6 an almost insta-upgrade starting at $30, and even old Gear devices from 2016 are included in the enhanced trade-ins.

samsung-galaxy-watch-6-review 2-1

Cyber Monday is when we expected the Google Pixel Watch 2 to get its first discount, but we've lost almost all hope. The original Pixel Watch is down to $200, although you're probably better off with the Pixel Watch 2 (for the battery) or a Galaxy Watch 6 (for everything).

Well, some of my coworkers are still in love with the Pixel Watch, and for Pixel owners, the integration is nice. (Just remember, folks, the Pixel Watch needs a Fitbit Premium subscription for most of its advanced fitness tracking, while Samsung Health is free.)

Kicking over from Google to Fitbit, its best deal is the Charge 6, which just arrived this fall and is already down to $100 — but there are less impressive savings on older devices like the Fitbit Luxe. Garmin and Mobvoi have some more recent watches, too, if you want something a little more fitness-focused or the TicWatch Pro dope hybrid screens.

Smart home deals

From Arlo's excellent security cams to Philips Hue light bulbs to Kasa's sleek smart plugs and beyond, just about every smart home device you can imagine is seeing some kind of discount, even if it doesn't get deals throughout the regular year. Case in point, while the Google Nest Audio might be three years old, it's still the best Google Assistant smart speaker, bar none, and it's down to $78 among Walmart's Cyber Monday deals.

Amazon and Google have discounted their security cameras, doorbells, smart displays, and streaming sticks as always for Cyber Monday, and even third-party ecosystems from TP-Link, Arlo, Wyze, and Eufy seem to have put everything and the kitchen sink on sale. The Amazon Echo bundles that come with smart lights or smart plugs are especially enticing, as you're saving about twice as much money as you're spending.

One Cyber Monday deal I personally recommend, one that I bought myself last month during Prime Day Part 2, is the Levoit Vital 100 Smart Air Purifier. It fits well in my bedroom, was wonderfully easy to set up, and unlike my last models, this one can be set to turn off all the display lights after a certain number of seconds. That's one less stupid LED to try and cover up at night because I am a creature of the abyss, and easier on-device controls so that I'm not constantly digging into the app.

The Ring Video Doorbell Plus, Amazon Echo Pop, and Google Nest Doorbell are all products well worth the investment, as well as the Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED series and Synology's NAS systems. (Okay, I admit, beefy NAS devices might not be "smart" in the normal smart home sense, but they will make your smart streaming setup awesome.)

Philips Hue deals are a little fewer and further between than I'd like this year, but at least the 3-pack is on sale. The 3-pack is 60W bulbs, but if you want the brighter 75W bulbs, you can get a two-pack with a $20 gift card for $100 (so basically the same price). In my experience, the 75W not only get brighter, they can get much dimmer than the 60W bulbs, which is handy for night owls like me who need dim illumination whilst roaming around with our insomnia.

When is Cyber Monday?

Black Friday has now passed — it was November 24 — and Cyber Monday is here.

Deals have been running for a while though; retailers like Walmart and Target held their "Holiday Kickoff Sales" on October 10-11, alongside Amazon Prime Big Deal Days. Best Buy then kicked off its proper Black Friday deals on October 30 — well, October 27 for My BestBuy Plus/Total members — Walmart kicked off on November 8, and Amazon's Black Friday deals properly started on November 17.

When will Cyber Monday deals end?

Deals are live now, and the overwhelming majority will end around midnight tonight, giving you just a few hours to snap them up.

A handful will stay live past Cyber Monday and into Tuesday or Wednesday — or even beyond — but are unlikely to get any cheaper. So if you see something you want, there's no sense waiting around on it.
