Walmart's second Black Friday sale is live
* Great discounts on appliances at Amazon

Welcome back to our live Black Friday 2022 coverage. We're inching closer to the big day, but there are already thousands of Black Friday deals to browse in the US and UK. Here's the latest news

Walmart launched its second Black Friday Deals for Days sale in the US yesterday, with Walmart Plus members getting early access to the offers at 12pm ET – everyone else had to wait until 7pm ET. You can keep up with the action this week via our Walmart Black Friday sale live blog, where you'll get a heads-up on all the most exciting new deals (including the first decent Apple Watch 8 deal for Black Friday). 

Meanwhile in the UK, fresh parcel delivery warnings have been made this morning. More couriers say the industry has limited capacity to handle the extra demand resulting from industrial strike action by Royal Mail workers over Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Their advice is to order early, and we'd second that, if you want to guarantee your gifts arrive before the holiday period – there are already lots of good Black Friday deals around.

Our deals experts are continually combing through the latest sales on both sides of the pond to bring you the biggest discounts, plus tips and tricks for saving the most money possible. Happy browsing…

Beats studio buds price deals sales

(Image credit: Future)

Beats Studio Buds get a $50 price cut before Black Friday

The Beats Studio Buds are easily the best-sounding earbuds Beats has ever made. We gave them 4/5 stars in our Beats Studio Buds review: they’re comfortable to wear and they sound great, plus they support active noise cancellation. 

Unfortunately, their call quality isn't perfect and they're missing Apple's H1 Wireless Chip. But at $99.99 – which is their current price at Amazon, down from $149.95 – they're a lot cheaper than Apple's AirPods Pro 2 $234. We think they're an absolute bargain for a premium pair of noise-canceling earbuds.

Beats Studio Buds: was $149.95 now $99.95 at Amazon.com
Beats Studio Buds are the best Beats earbuds you can buy, and Amazon’s early Black Friday sale has the earbuds down to $99.95 – just $10 more than the record-low price. You’re getting Active Noise Cancelling technology, a comfortable fit, and decent audio performance. Compared to Apple’s AirPods Pro 2, which are priced at $234, this deal is a great alternative for premium earbuds under $100.View Deal

A Dell XPS 15 2022

(Image credit: Future)

One of the best laptops ever made gets a $700 price cut

Dell has launched its Black Friday sale, and it's well worth a look if you need a new laptop. The one that caught our eye is this huge $700 discount on a high-end Dell XPS 15, which drops the price from $2,899 to $2,199.

It's a productivity powerhouse, as you might expect given the price, with new Intel Alder Lake processors and RTX GPUs packed into the classic XPS laptop design. We found that it's even capable of some moderate gaming. We gave it a full five stars in our Dell XPS 15 (2022) review.

Don't buy it if you don't need the best of the best – those specs are going to be overkill for a lot of people. But if you want to own what we think is arguably the perfect computer for most Windows users, this is a good deal. It's the lowest price we've seen so far.

Champagne, wine and whiskey: from £6.99 at Amazon

Amazon is here to help you do that for less, with savings of up to 28% on a selection of wines, champagnes, vodkas and whiskies.

Yankee Candle sale: from £1.89 at Amazon
Set the right mood with this selection of Yankee Candle wax melts and candles from just £1.89.

Sony WF-C500 True Wireless Earbuds: was £90 now £49 at Amazon
Under intense review, we called these Sony earbuds “great value for money” – but that was at the full asking price. With 45% off, we think they’re an absolute steal and then some. Yes, 20 hours of battery life can be bettered – but 10 hours from the buds alone certainly can’t at this price point. They’re also light and comfortable, providing an exciting, musical sound. Oh, and they’ve only been this cheap once before. View Deal

Save £80 –
If you need a 4K TV on a budget, check out this Hisense set on sale at Currys.

There isn’t a better deal out there today if you’re after a capable laptop on a budget of under £250.View Deal

Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones: £380 £299 at Amazon
Save £81 –
Quite simply the newest and best in Sony’s class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. The older XM4 were outstanding and the XM3 before it were excellent, so it’ll come as little surprise to know that Sony’s latest XM5 proposition are also incredibly hard to beat – especially with a whopping 21% off. They’ve only been as cheap as this once before – and these cans only launched in May 2022. Our advice? This is a top deal on a winning pair of new noise-cancelling headphones. View Deal

It’s a great gaming TV, too, with 4K at 120fps support and VRR to give you the smoothest experience with minimal input lag.View Deal

7 coffee machines under £100

Tassimo Bosch Style Coffee Machine: £106 £29 at Currys
Save £77
– Currys is currently offering this vibrant Tassimo coffee machine for £77 less than its usual retail price. For just £29, the Tassimo Bosch Style will let you brew up to 50 different types of coffee, and will automatically shut itself off when not in use to help you save energy. We’d suggest acting on this deal swiftly as they’re likely to prove very popular throughout November.View Deal

3. De’Longhi Nescafé Dolce Gusto Piccolo: £79.99 £29 at Amazon
Save £50
– If you’re after an inexpensive, single-serve coffee machine that makes cafe-grade espressos, latte macchiatos and cappuccinos, look no further than De’Longhi’s Nescafé Dolce Gusto Piccolo. Slightly smaller than the brand’s Infinissima model, this coffee machine is capable of brewing 40 different beverage varieties – including Nescafe and Starbucks coffees – though its versatility comes at the expense of a smaller (0.8-litre) water tank. For just £29, though, the Piccolo is a steal. View Deal

4. De’Longhi Nescafé Dolce Gusto Infinissima Coffee Machine: £109.99 £39.99 at Amazon
Save £70
– This De’Longhi Nescafé capsule coffee machine is a whopping 64% off at Amazon ahead of Black Friday. For just £39.99, you’ll get a 1.2-litre water tank, an adjustable drip tray that’s suitable for all cup sizes and, most importantly, high-quality coffee brewed with a thick velvety crema (courtesy of the machine’s 15-bar pump pressure). This particular De’Longhi model is also available in three different colour variants.View Deal

5. Tassimo Bosch My Way 2 Coffee Machine: £99.99 £68 at Amazon
Save £32
– The Tassimo Bosch My Way 2 lets you set the intensity, size and strength of your coffee as you like it. The machine’s Intellibrew technology is capable of brewing over 50 drinks from 11 well-known brands, and its Brita water filtration technology ensures the best flavour is maintained. The My Way 2 auto-cleans between drinks, too, which prevents flavours from mixing between cups. At just £69, this is a great choice for those with limited counter space.View Deal

6. Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine by Magimix: £150 £79.99 at Amazon
Save £70
– For its slim size (5.6-inches across), the Nespresso Vertuo Next is versatile and super easy to use. It makes beautifully smooth espressos and americanos, and you can choose five different cup sizes ranging from espresso to a 41ml drink. Amazon is offering this Magimix model for just £79, which is the lowest price we’ve ever seen.View Deal

7. Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Maker by Krups: £199.99 £99.99 at Amazon
Save £100
– Similar to the Nespresso Vertuo Next, the Vertuo Plus can make 5, 8, 14 or 18 oz coffees and espressos, but the difference here is that the Plus has an automatic open for pods and a rotating water tank. You’ll lose out on the Next’s Wi-Fi connectivity, mind, but your water (and therefore your coffee) will stay fresher. £100 is a good deal for this particular model ahead of Black Friday, but its price has dropped to as low as £80 in recent weeks.View Deal

Shark cordless vac almost half price

We haven't reviewed this one ourselves (we tested the model up, the Shark Anti Hair Wrap IZ300 – which we gave 4/5 stars), but the huge discount caught my eye. With £180 cut off the price at Amazon, the Shark IZ202UK is now less than £200 – I'm strongly considering getting it myself. I've been trying to replace my Henry for months…

It has a 40-min run time and comes with a second battery, so you could use it in a larger home – although it's probably better suited to medium or smaller houses, like mine. It averages 4.5/5 stars from over 80 user reviews on Amazon, and on the Shark site it's a similar story, with an average score of 4.7/5. 

Some people say it's a bit heavy, but overall it seems to do a good job. I think I'm in…

LG C2 OLED TV on a green background

(Image credit: Future)

Quick – LG's C2 OLED TV just crashed to a record-low price

We've just spotted this year's best-rated TV on sale for $1,296 at Amazon.com. That's a $150 discount, and the lowest price we've seen for the outstanding LG C2 OLED, which sits at the top of our best TV guide.

It showcases everything we love about OLED technology, with excellent brightness and contrast levels. There's virtual surround sound, smart capabilities and voice control, and it has an extremely thin design.

Having tested it with everything from regular SD shows to Dolby Vision blockbusters, we found the C2 OLED is more than capable of handling pretty much any content you can throw at it. Just don't buy it if you need HDR10+ support – you've got HDR10 and HLG, but there’s no HDR10+ to be found.

Welcome back

Hello to everyone joining us this morning as we walk through all the latest Black Friday news and deals on Saturday November 11. 

Stick with us as we walk you through the sales worth taking seriously today – and those that look as though they've started, but are likely to have better deals over the coming fortnight. 

Is it Black Friday yet?

No – but there are some very good Black Friday deals already that are unlikely to become much better in the two weeks between now and Black Friday proper, on November 25.

TVs, in particular, have huge discounts this weekend – there's still time to get a new one before the World Cup. Amazon and Currys are your best bet, and we've seen a few decent deals at John Lewis and Very this morning too. We'll highlight the best deals here shortly…

Plenty of small appliances, too, are heavily discounted at the moment. Coffee makers and cordless vacuums are among the biggest bargains we've seen so far. For example, you can get a single-serve DeLonghi Nescafé Dolce coffee machine for just £29 at Amazon today – that's a massive 65% discount from its full price of £79.99, and we don't expect it to become cheaper on Black Friday itself. Bargain.

8 of the best TV deals this weekend

We've scanned the sales this morning and there are some super-low prices on a range of TVs, covering everything from premium OLED and QLED displays and huge 75-inch sets right through to budget and small smart TVs.

Will prices drop fruther? Yes, some may – we often see the very best Black Friday TV deals in the week leading up to Black Friday. But it's debatable how much further some of these sets can actually go: it's been a spectacular year for TV deals already, thanks to LG getting new OLED TV competition from Samsung, plus an oversupply of LCD panels as TV makers pulled back on production following market forecasts.

Our view? If you see a telly you want this weekend at a good price, and don't mind if it's reduced by another £20 in the next two weeks, grab it -the biggest Black Friday TV deals can sell out in minutes, and these offers are already superb value for money.

1. Hisense A6BG 65-inch 4K TV: £529 £449 at Currys
Save £80 –
Looking for a big 4K TV with cinematic HDR support for the lowest-possible price? You won’t find much better with these specs for under £500. The A6BG includes support for both Dolby Vision and HDR10+, so everything will look its best no matter the source. It won’t be the brightest for this price, but with three HDMI 2.0 ports and Auto Low Latency Mode for responsive gaming, it’s a hell of an all-rounder for this size at this price.View Deal

2. LG A2 65-inch OLED 4K TV: £1,699 £1,299 at Currys
Save £400 – This is the cheapest 65-inch OLED available, so if you want the rich cinematic contrast of this premium screen tech for less, the A2 is ideal. To make it this price, it features less advanced processing than the LG C2, a less bright screen, and no HDMI 2.1 ports for next-gen gaming. But the precise colours and rich HDR are here – for movie lovers looking for high-end pictures for a mid-range price, it’s excellent.View Deal

3. Samsung BU8000 75-inch 4K TV: £1,399 £999 at Amazon
Save £400
– A 75-inch TV for under £1000? What’s not to love. The Samsung BU8000 obviously doesn’t have quite the vibrancy of Samsung higher-priced QLED TVs, but this is an exceptionally fair trade off for this much TV real estate for less than a grand – especially as Samsung delivers some of the best budget bang for buck around. The BU8000 has solid upscaling and virtual 3D surround sound. There’s no HDMI 2.1 for new-gen gaming but ALLM is on hand to help with ultra low lag.View Deal

4. Samsung QN90B 55-inch Neo QLED 4K TV: £1499 £999 at Currys
Save £500 –
If you’ve been keeping an eye on Samsung’s latest impressive screen tech and were waiting on the time to pounce, it might be now. The stylish QN90B delivers Samsung’s best 4K QLED pictures of the year, and benefits from a stack of 2022 tech advancements. The local dimming of the backlight is effective, and the colours are exceptionally rich thanks to that Quantum Dot layer. The QN90B also has impressive ultra viewing angle feature that means it looks great whatever angle you’re sitting at – and it’s a gamer’s paradise, with full HDMI 2.1 support. It goes brighter than any OLED on the planet – at under £1000, this is an impressive deal.

5. Hisense A6BG 50-inch 4K LED TV: £499 £299 at Amazon
Save £200 –
Few other brands can compete with Hisense when it comes to balancing budget with features and functionality. This 2022 50-inch 4K TV comes with Dolby Vision HDR for you to enjoy Netflix and Disney Plus movies at their best, all from and an intuitive smart TV interface. The fact that 50 inches worth of TV is less than £300 is an incredible early Black Friday deal.  View Deal

6. Sony A80J 55-inch OLED TV: £1,399 £999 at John Lewis
Save £400 – This TV from 2021 features Sony’s phenomenal image processing, plus the rich colors and infinite contrast that OLED is famed for. It’s also a ‘Perfect for PlayStation’ TV, meaning that not only supports the 4K 120Hz and VRR features of the next-gen console (as any TVs do), but also the Auto HDR Tone Mapping features, which make HDR gaming look even better. This is the cheapest it’s ever been, and though it’s an older TV, getting these kinds of features at 55 inches for under £1000 makes it an excellent deal.

7. LG C2 48-inch OLED 4K TV : £1,399 £998 at Amazon
Save £401
– If you’re looking for an excellent deal on our favourite all rounder LG OLED before Black Friday truly begins, you’ve found it. We didn’t rate the LG C2 five stars for nothing – the picture quality is exceptional. The C2 has a sleek minimal design, great connectivity, and brilliant gaming credentials with four HDMI 2.1 ports to take advantage of the new gen consoles. And the 48-inch model means it won’t even take up too much room.View Deal

8. Hisense A6BG 43-inch 4K LED TV: £329 £249 at Currys
Save £200 –
 A 43-inch 4K TV with Dolby Vision HDR for £250? Oh why not. Yet again, Hisense impresses with its functionality at a budget price point. While obviously this is no OLED panel, the A6BG also comes with support for HDR10+, so whichever streaming service you’re watching, you’ll be able to view in the best quality it can deliver. There are three HDMI 2.0 ports here, and a game mode helps deliver ultra-low lag at 60Hz.View Deal

Our best cordless vac is the lowest price ever

If you're looking for a new cordless vacuum, this Shark Stratos deal at Amazon is well worth considering. The IZ420UKT sits at number one in our best cordless vacuums guide: we were incredibly impressed with its ability to sense how much dirt is on the floor and increase the suction power accordingly when we tested it – we gave it 4.5/5 in our review.

Previously £549.99, it's been hovering around the £450 mark since receiving its first price cut in early November, and now it's dropped again to £438.24 at Amazon – that's over £10 cheaper than at Shark. Will it drop again? We don't think it will, and if it does, not by much. It's a new model after all.

Save £100 –
Voted our best cordless vacuum, the Shark Stratos now has over £110 off. In our review, we liked that it comes with all the Shark tech we love (Anti Hair Wrap and Flexology) plus Clean Sense IQ technology, which can sense how much dirt is on a floor and increase the suction power accordingly. This has already proved a popular choice since its launch a couple of months ago, so be quick to grab this deal whilst it lasts.View Deal

Black Friday = cheap Chromebooks

If you're looking for a bargain Chromebook this side of Christmas, then Black Friday is the ideal time to browse the digital shelves. Chromebooks regularly get price cuts at this time of year, bringing the already-cheap devices down to hard-to-resist levels. 

A Chromebook won't necessarily be ideal for everyone, of course – they lack the power for high-end gaming and graphic design work – but they're a great choice for kids and can also be useful as a second laptop for web browsing. 

You're convinced, right? In which case check out this HP 11AG8EE model below, which is £30 off right now at Argos. That saves you 23% off the usual price for a laptop with 4GB RAM and an 11.6in screen. See – told you it was a bargain.

Psst, don't buy Sonos right now – huge Black Friday deals are coming next week

Becky Scarrott, Senior Audio Staff Writer, TechRadar

It's incredibly easy to get carried away in the buying frenzy – because when it comes to spotting a tasty deal on your heart's desire, you snooze you lose… Right?

Well, this advice may come as a surprize, but sometimes patience is a virtue. 

What I'm about to tell you is something few other retailers (or competing online news outlets, for that matter) are keen to let on. However, at TechRadar we like to keep it real and so our advice is this: if you're looking to nab yourself one of the best Black Friday Sonos deals on a Sonos OneSonos One SL, Sonos Move, Sonos ArcSonos Beam, Sonos Sub, Sonos Roam or Sonos Roam SL, do not click 'buy now' today… that's right, I'm telling you to hold off. Desist. At ease. Stand down, soldier. 

Why? Because Sonos likes to take its time – but don't worry, the company has kindly informed us that deals are coming. Want a date to circle in your diaries? That would be Friday November 18

Essentially, if you buy direct from Sonos or via “select online retailers” on or after November 18, you'll unlock rarely-seen discounts on no fewer than seven Sonos products – and said offers will last for ten whole days, until November 28 (or until stock runs out). 

Additionally, Sonos tells us it'll be running a one-day-only deal on the portable Sonos Move on November 28 for 24 hours.

Here's an exclusive Black Friday deal for TechRadar readers

Alex Whitelock, deals editor, TechRadar

You're among the lucky few who get early access to Samsung's Black Friday deals on the Galaxy S22 range, a week ahead of everyone else. These deals include an upfront rebate of up to $225 off, as well as an additional $600 off with a trade-in.

Under these terms, it's now possible to get a massive $825 off an unlocked Galaxy S22 Ultra, $650 off the Galaxy S22 Plus, and $450 off the Galaxy S22. Collectively, these are some of the best deals we've seen so far on these devices since launch early this year.

While the biggest savings will be available for those who trade in an old device here, it's worth noting that the upfront rebate offered by the retailer isn't tied to trade specifically. In short, you don't need to be handing over that old device to get access to get a new S22 for one of the lowest upfront prices all year.

James Pickard, Deals Editor, TechRadar

The Sony WH-1000XM5 are back to their cheapest price ever in the UK. You'll find them this morning at Amazon for just £299, down from £379.99. It's only the second time these best-in-class cans have been this low, making it a great time to pick up a pair.

7 deals that caught our eye in the UK this morning

1. Tassimo Happy Pod Coffee Machine and Costa Coffee Pods Bundle: £139.99 £48 at Very

Yes, you read that right. For less than £50, you can bag yourself a brand-new coffee machine and 64 actual coffees. That’s 75p per coffee, plus a whole new piece of kitchen kit.View Deal

2. Instant Pot Duo Crisp air fryer: £199.99 £159.99 at John Lewis

A super handy gadget to have for any kitchen – and one that’s super energy efficient – is a good quality air fryer. This Duo Crisp 8L model from Instant Pot features 11 easy-to-use modes to prepare a range of foods quickly and healthily. It’s a little more expensive than some of the no-brand items on Amazon but it’s a good quality piece of kit from a well-known brand.View Deal

3. Emma Original Mattress: from £499 £249.50 at Emma
Save up to £449.50
– The best mattress in the UK is half price in the company’s Black Friday sale. We gave it 4.5/5 stars in our review: it’s ultra-comfortable – especially for side sleepers who’ll appreciate the gently cradling memory foam on their shoulders and hips. It can trap body heat slightly, though, so if you’re a very hot sleeper try a hybrid like the Simba Hybrid (from £411) instead. You’ll get 200 nights to trial it – if it isn’t right, Simba will collect it and give you a refund. View Deal

4. Champagne, wine and whiskey: from £6.99 at Amazon

– If you’re after an inexpensive, single-serve coffee machine that makes cafe-grade espressos, latte macchiatos and cappuccinos, look no further than De’Longhi’s Nescafé Dolce Gusto Piccolo. Slightly smaller than the brand’s Infinissima model, this coffee machine is capable of brewing 40 different beverage varieties – including Nescafe and Starbucks coffees – though its versatility comes at the expense of a smaller (0.8-litre) water tank. For just £29, though, the Piccolo is a steal. View Deal

Electric blankets from £29.99

It's starting to get colder… Ok, it was 18 degrees in parts of the UK yesterday, but we all know it's coming. If, like us, you're reluctant to turn the heating on yet, an electric blanket might be a worthwhile investment. 

Amazon has a whole load of discounts in its electric blanket selection, with prices starting from just under £30 for a budget double electric blanket from Bedsure, all the way up to, er, over £2,000 for 'intelligent' blankets with all kinds of smart functionality.

Personally, we'd stick to the £40-£60 mark – you can get something that does the job well in this range. But it depends on the size of your bed and how much luxury you're looking for, of course. Here are some highlights.

 

Bedsure Under Electric Blanket: was £29.99 now £39.99 at Amazon
Best budget – There’s a 25% discount on this budget electric blanket at Amazon. It comes in double and king sizes, and has an automatic switch-off function after 10 hours, plus four temperature settings. Amazon says it’s a best-seller, and it has an average score of 4/5 stars from 500-odd user reviews. Which is good, but not as good as the SilentNight option above (which boasts a score of 4.5/5 from almost 30,000 user reviews). Still, it doesn’t come with the more luxe extra versions that the Silentnight one has, which are likely propping up that score.

Slumberdown Wonderfully Warm Electric Blanket (double): was £99.99 now £90 at Amazon
Luxury choice – The Slumberdown Wonderfully Warm Multi Zone Single Electric Blanket has nine heat settings, a timer and automatic shut off, and a deep-filled quilted fleece comfort layer. It starts at £70 for a single and goes up to super king sizes (£100, down from £105). There’s also a cheaper version with three settings that starts from £42.50 for a single.

3 of the best TVs for the World Cup 2022

The all-new Sony A95K QD-OLED TV

(Image credit: Sony)

1. Sony XR-A95K

The best TV for image quality you can buy today

Screen size: 55-inch, 65-inch | Resolution: 4K | Display technology: QD-OLED | Smart TV: Google TV | Refresh rate: 120Hz

Stunning pictures and sound
Exceptional build quality
Expensive
Only in two sizes

This 2022 Sony TV could well be the best TV ever – which makes it a shoo-in for our top World Cup TV deal. This high-end screen boasts exceptional build quality, with some of the most stunning images to ever grace a television screen. Sony has good form for motion processing in particular, which is a crucial metric when you're watching fast-paced athletes sprint across the screen at a moment's notice.

This is a QD-OLED TV, meaning it makes the most of both OLED panels (great darks and brightness control) alongside Quantum Dot filtering (boosted color and contrast).

Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio feature quite literally vibrates the screen to emit sound, too – it won't compete with a dedicated Dolby Atmos soundbar, but it'll certainly do for the roar of the crowd in your living room. Voice recognition capability will make it easy to control playback from the comfort of the couch as well.

It's certainly pricey, though you'll also get premium gaming features like HDMI 2.1, 120Hz frame rate, and VRR –though only on two ports, which is pretty cheap for a premium TV.

Stunning picture quality
Ultra-thin design
Only acceptable audio
Some sizes are brighter than others

The LG C2 is one of the best TVs out there today – its images aren't quite as strong as the Sony A95K's, but it's costs a huge amount less. It features a stunning OLED display with an Alpha a9 Gen. 5 processor, offering incredible images, motion processing, and vibrant colors in every pixel. At this price, you're getting a truly astonishing level of picture quality, including good motion processing and a 120Hz screen to keep everything clear even when the action gets fast.

The webOS platform is one of the best in the business, too, making it easy to navigate your favourite channels and apps. The sound quality is ample as well, with 40W of volume and a 2.2 channel speaker system – perfectly good for sports, though you may miss some nuance when switching over to watch an action movie on Netflix. It's got four future-proof HDMI 2.1 ports for next-gen gaming too.

3. Samsung Q60B

The best cheap World Cup TV

Screen size: 43-inch, 50-inch, 55-inch, 60-inch, 65-inch, 70-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch | Resolution: 4K | Display technology: QLED | Smart TV: Tizen | Refresh rate: 60Hz

Good 4K image quality
Bold QLED colors
Average contrast
Only 60Hz frame rate

After a capable World Cup TV deal that doesn't cost the earth? Check out this mid-range Samsung TV, the Q60B. The QLED screen will offer improved color and contrast over cheaper LCD models, though lacks the more impressive backlights in the screens higher up – this isn't a match for OLED or Neo QLED when it comes to brightness or cinematic depth.

However, Samsung is a reliable TV brand with a base level of picture quality even at this price range, and the wide mix of screen sizes will give you plenty of flexibility in choosing the right model for your home. Samsung motion processing is good, though getting a TV at this price means a 60Hz screen instead of 120Hz, so motion is a little less fluid and clear. But if you want a big punchy screen that can show the spectacle of a sporting stadium at full power, it's great value.

Good morning to people joining us in the US

Hello and welcome back to our Black Friday deals live blog, where we're covering all the best offers in the sales on both sides of the pond this Sunday. Here's a quick recap of what happened yesterday…

Here's a recap of what happened yesterday in the US

* This excellent Hisense 65-inch U8H series 4K TV dropped from $1,399 to $899 at Best Buy. We doubt there will be many better big 4K TV discounts on the big day. Read more

* TechRadar readers got early access to Samsung's Black Friday deals on the Galaxy S22 range, a week ahead of everyone else. These deals include an upfront rebate of up to $225 off, as well as an additional $600 off with a trade-in. Read more

Nectar Memory Foam Mattress photographed in our test studio

The best value mattress around is now cheaper than last Black Friday

We'll say it straight away: we love the Nectar Memory Foam mattress at TechRadar. It sits at number two in our best mattress rankings – we think it's the best value mattress around, and it's now even better value thanks to a 33% discount over at Nectar in the US. And there's a whopping 50% discount in the UK.

That means you can get a twin size for $399 (usually $499), and a queen size from $669, rather than the $899-999 it usually costs. That's cheaper than the mattress was last Black Friday – back then, a queen was $799, although you also got a free mattress protector, sheets and pillows thrown in. 

Will it drop further? We don't think so. This is the cheapest we've seen the Nectar Memory Foam – and it's very unusual for Nectar to be running these sorts of prices for such a continued period. Usually we get a glimpse via a flash sale at the start of November, and then prices rise again for the rest of the month…

Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: from $499 $399 + $499 of free gifts at Nectar
Nectar dropped a flash sale earlier this month – which it has extended – offering 33% off everything. That means you can now save up to $500 on the excellent Nectar Memory Foam Mattress, which brings the queen size from $999 to $669 – making it cheaper than last year’s Black Friday deal. This is a great value lower-mid-range memory foam mattress, which we gave 4/5 stars in our Nectar Mattress review.View Deal

World-class noise-cancelling at a bargain price

The Bose QuietComfort 45 are an excellent pair of headlines that we awarded 4/5 stars to in our review. They're lightweight and comfortable, have a clever control system and pack Bose's class-leading noise-cancellation tech. 

In short, they're well worth a look (or rather, a listen) at their usual price of £319, but you needn't pay that – because they can be found at Amazon right now for just £259

This isn't quite the lowest they've ever been – they dropped to £239 back in May. But they were full price as recently as a few weeks ago, so we think this is a deal that's worth checking out.

Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones: was £319 now £259 at Amazon
Weighing in at just 238g and able to fold in on themselves, the QC 45 are a compelling proposition for the frequent travelers among you. A solid competitor to the likes of Sony when it comes to comfort, stability, noise cancellation and durability – and look at that discount!   View Deal

Michelle Rae Uy, Buying guide Editor, TechRadar

Buy gifts early to avoid delays – couriers warn

Brace yourself for late deliveries in the UK during the Black Friday sales period and in the lead up to Christmas. We reported earlier in November that Royal Mail had announced two 48-hour strikes around Black Friday and Cyber Monday in a disagreement over pay and working conditions.

Now today, the Financial Times says that several couriers have warned that UK shoppers should prepare for delays in receiving their Black Friday purchases. Delivery companies including UPS and Yodel told the outlet that they have been contacted by several retailers hoping to secure their services. But the industry has “limited capacity” to handle the extra demand during the industrial action, the FT reports.

According to Mike Hancox, chief executive of Liverpool-based courier Yodel, Royal Mail’s rivals are “all pretty close to capacity”. He told the FT: “I would be saying to consumers: make your choices on your Christmas presents early. Place your orders early.”

Wait, Melomania 1 Plus earbuds just dropped to HOW MUCH for Black Friday?! 

Becky Scarrot, Senior Audio Staff Writer

The Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Plus are among the best wireless earbuds you can buy – and now the true wireless wonders are ridiculously cheap.

You see, the Melomania 1 Plus cost $139.95 / £119.95 at launch. Recently, the audiophile-friendly earbuds were reduced to $99.95 / £99.95 – but as of now (and in probably the best Black Friday earbuds deal of the year) the white colorway dropped to an astonishing £39.95 / $49.95, either at Amazon or from Cambridge Audio direct.
