Black Friday 2018 is upon us, and that means some fantastic deals and discounts on all sorts of tech products. From laptops to software, we round up the very best Black Friday 2018 tech deals.
Remember, the trick with Black Friday shopping is to be judicious and buy at the right moment. We have a few tips and tricks for working out if you're getting the best price possible, so see our guide to checking if it's a real deal.
The most important advice? Be sure of what it is you're buying. You're better off getting a healthy discount on a good brand, rather than snapping up the cheapest product you see from a brand you've never heard of.
If you're unsure about all the tech jargon (and there's no shame in that) check out our handy Black Friday Survival Guide. Happy shopping!
In This Guide:
Black Friday Smartphone Deals
You can find some great deals on smartphones in time for Black Friday. Often, mobile network providers will slash their monthly contracts, including on some high-end models.
Below, we've rounded up a couple of great smartphone contract deals we've spotted so far, including a bargain price on the old iPhone 6S model – it's a couple of years old now, but a perfectly respectable iPhone.
Samsung Galaxy S9 – $17.50/mo on Sprint (24 month contract)
- From $17.50/mo contract
- 64GB, Midnight Black
Samsung Galaxy S9+ – $22.50/mo on Sprint (24 month contract)

Black Friday Fitbit Deals
Ready to burn off the Thanksgiving turkey? You can track your exercise as you go with a Fitbit activity tracker, and Black Friday is a great time to buy.
There are some great discounts across the Fitbit range, and we've picked out three of the best below.

Black Friday Amazon Tablet Deals
Amazon loves a discount when Black Friday comes around, and the retail giant is pretty generous with the price cuts to its own Fire tablet range.
You're unlikely to find a cheaper deal than the $29 basic 7-inch Amazon Fire tablet. Though, for our money, we think you're better off going for the slightly pricier 8-inch model with an HD screen.
Fire 7 with Alexa
- On Sale From 22 Nov
- $29.99 — $20 off
- At this price, the Fire 7 with Alexa is the ultimate bargain tablet — it won't beat an iPad, but you cannot get better for less.
- It has a 1024×600 7″ LCD display and uses Amazon's FireOS version of Android, so it should feel familiar to most people
- It also features Alexa, and has up to 256GB expandable storage
Amazon Fire HD8 with Alexa
- On Sale From 22 Nov
- $49.99 — $30 off
- Arguably Amazon's best tablet, the HD8 gets improved specs all-round with only a modest price increase
- Sharper 1280×800 resolution screen, more Ram and storage and up to 10 hours of battery life
- Alexa is available all the time
Amazon Fire HD 10 with Alexa
- On Sale From 22 Nov
- $99.99 — $50 off
- The Fire HD 10 is Amazon's most expensive and highly-specced tablet with a 10″ 1920×1200 display, 2GB Ram and an upgraded processor
- The Show Mode Charging Dock also turns the Fire HD 10 into, effectively, an Echo Show, giving you two devices for the price of one. You can read more about how it works here.
Black Friday iPad Deals
It's rare to find great discounts on Apple's iPad range, as the manufacturer controls their sale so tightly. You won't find anything as generous as 50% off, but there are decent discounts to be found
We've rounded up some iPad deals, below.
