When Black Friday rolls around, and shoppers grab for their wallets, tech gear is often one of the most sought-after product categories overall. This year Nintendo racked up massive Black Friday sales, even though the Switch hasn't had near the number of new high-profile games land this year as competing platform. Certainly, lots of gamers are anticipating Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launching next month, and the new Switch Pokemon game that recently launched has sold well, but those are some of the only heavily anticipated games for the console this year. Nintendo offered up some good Black Friday deals on the Switch and the 2DS, and has taken the opportunity to toot its own horn over sales for...

As we discovered last month after a thorough review, Google's Pixel 3 and 3 XL smartphones are really good and we dubbed them as "Android Refined". And that camera! The camera is clearly one of the biggest attractions here, especially with the ability to take some of the best night shots we've ever seen. It's surprising, then, that even though the Pixel 3 and 3 XL only released last month, Best Buy is already applying one heck of a discount for Black Friday. That deal is $400 off, which is the kind of price slash that brings a top-end device down to or below the price point the likes of OnePlus flagships. This assumes of course that you're fine calling Verizon home, as that's the exclusive...

The market for smart speakers is growing at a steady clip, and also evolving—some of the latest versions have a built-in screen, like LG's Smart Display. We had a chance to review that particular model this past summer and were impressed with its excellent audio quality and Google Assistant integration. Now several months later, LG just launched a newer model with a Black Friday discount. LG's new XBOOM AI ThinQ (model WK9) smart display wields a pair of speakers on each side of the integrated 8-inch HD touchscreen.

We've seen a bunch of smokin' Black Friday deals that are available right now at various retailers. If what you are hankering to buy is a game console, and you would rather not wake up in the middle of the night and schlep down to Kohl's for a $399 Xbox One X, Walmart has some good news for you. The retail giant has activated its Black Friday special on the Xbox One X, and you can buy it right now for $399. That price has been offered at Kohl's, and directly from Microsoft (which is active through November 26). The catch is that you have to wait for shipping at Microsoft.

OnePlus has garnered praise for its phones due to higher-end specifications that come at a price point much lower than other flagship Android devices. The OnePlus 6 isn't the latest smartphone from the company having launched in May of this year, but the company is offering up a very nice discount on the entire OnePlus 6 range that may make this the most appealing smartphone deal on Black Friday. OnePlus is selling the entire line of unlocked OnePlus 6 smartphones that will operate on AT&T, T-Mobile, or U.S. Cellular. The discount on all models of the smartphone is $100, and that is an instant discount; not something where you pay full price and wait months for a pre-paid...

This Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year, and with all the Black Friday deals that we have seen, it's been curious that none of the smartphone deals have offered service on T-Mobile. Sam's Club had a Samsung Early Access event where smartphones were on significant discount, but you had to activate on Sprint, Verizon, or AT&T. Target and Best Buy had some deals on various iPhone models, but again T-Mobile wasn't offered as a carrier with any of those specials. T-Mobile has now tossed out its own Black Friday deals, and one of them is offering an iPhone XR at no cost. That particular deal has a caveat with users wanting to partake needing to activate two lines of service and trade...
