Black Friday 2025: Live updates from Amazon, Dyson, Samsung, Best Buy

Once upon a time, Americans lined up in droves outside Walmarts and Targets, still full from Thanksgiving dinner, so they could be first in the door. Thankfully, these frenzied Black Friday free-for-alls are a relic of a bygone era. Now, not only can you order all of the best Black Friday deals online, but for the past few years, retailers have also been launching their Black Friday sales weeks in advance of Thanksgiving.

Case in point: Amazon officially launched its Black Friday sales on Thursday, and Best Buy dropped a ton of new doorbuster deals on Friday. So, ready or not, Black Friday is already here. You can tell because Mashable is once again working around the clock to bring you live updates on all of the latest sales, standout deals, price drops, and inventory updates. Already, we've spied record discounts on flagship noise-cancelling headphones, Apple laptops and tablets, Dyson appliances, and some of the year's most popular tech gifts.

Check out the top early deals so far, and keep scrolling for the full schedule of events and the latest live updates and news from the Mashable shopping team.

Remember: Black Friday 2025 takes place on Friday, Nov. 28, and is quickly followed by Cyber Week, which starts on Monday, Dec. 1. However, you can already shop plenty of sales at all the major online retailers. If you want to be the first to know when new sales go online, then keep checking back as we provide live updates on the shopping festivities.

Black Friday is no longer restricted to just one day. These days, the sales go on for weeks or even months. And as we hit the last week of November, you can pretty much guarantee we're going to get a whole week of incredible deals and discounts. Amazon's Black Friday sale is already underway, and right now you can get a great deal on the Echo Show 5 for a limited time.

Amazon is hosting a lightning deal on Sunday, Nov. 23 on the DJI Mic Mini. You can pick up this cult-favorite wireless microphone for just $59 if you hurry. Mashable tested (and loved) this microphone set, which you can spot in countless TikTok and YouTube videos in 2025.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to splurge on premium noise-cancelling headphones, this is it. Amazon has the Sony WH-1000XM5 marked down to $248 from $399.99, reducing the price by a substantial $151.99. The XM5s may not be Sony’s newest model anymore, but they still deliver the brand’s signature plush sound, industry-leading noise cancellation, and comfortable all-day fit.

When the XM6s cost nearly $200 more, opting for the XM5s at their lowest price ever on Amazon is the smart move.

If you have travel on the calendar or are just trying to squeeze in more gaming time away from your desk, the Lenovo Legion Go S is the kind of handheld that makes going portable genuinely enjoyable. Best Buy has it marked down to $649.99 from $899.99, a massive $250 savings that makes this one of the standout early Black Friday deals.

Despite being the smaller sibling of the original Legion Go, it still packs serious power: an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD (expandable via microSD). The 8-inch LCD screen, dual USB ports, built-in mic, and SteamOS support make it an easy pick for PC gamers who want their entire library on the go.

If you’re beefing up home security before the holiday chaos hits, Amazon has already slashed prices on some of its most popular Ring cameras. Whether you need a no-fuss indoor cam, a bright-as-day floodlight cam, or a weatherproof outdoor option that keeps watch 24/7, these early Black Friday deals are some of the best we’ve seen. Here are the standout markdowns worth grabbing:

• Ring Battery Doorbell — $49.99 $99.99 (save $50)

• Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus — $99.99 $179.99 (save $80)

• Ring Indoor Cam (2nd Gen) — $24.99 $49.99 (save $25)

If a new TV has been on your Black Friday wishlist, you're in luck. Right now, Amazon has a lightning deal on the Hisense 100-inch E6 Cinema Series TV, which is now 50% off its usual price of $2,699.99 and going for just $1,350.49 for a very limited time. This is the lowest price we've seen on this massive display.

This TV is all about bringing you the cinematic experience in your home, as its name implies. It uses QLED color to make your picture pop, with quantum dots that offer over a billion shades. Plus, Total HDR Solution gives you the deepest black hues you'll find across these larger TVs. It also supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ Adaptive, HDR10, and HLG. If you want superior audio, it also offers Dolby Atmos to give you that theater-like effect paired with its huge size.

The Coziley G1 Self-Cleaning Litter Box is now $254.99, down from $389.99, making it an easy upgrade for anyone tired of daily scooping. It utilizes eight sensors to safely detect your cat and pause cleaning, along with a triple-layer odor control system and a sealed waste bin to contain odors.

The companion app allows you to monitor activity and cleaning cycles, and it’s sized for cats weighing 2.5-18 lbs. A litter mat and trash bags are included, giving you a mostly hands-off setup right out of the box.

Big-name wearables from Fitbit, Garmin, and Samsung are already seeing steep drops, covering everything from simple step counters to full-on smartwatches with GPS, sleep tracking, and stress insights.

If you’ve ever hovered over a grill or oven wondering whether your chicken is actually done or if you’re about to serve “medium-rare” pork, the CHEF iQ Sense smart wireless thermometer is the stress-saving upgrade you need. On sale for $59.99 (down from $129.99), it’s built to take the guesswork out of cooking with real-time internal temperature updates, flip reminders, rest timers, and estimated cook times.

What sets this one apart is its five sensors — four inside the meat and one tracking ambient temperature — so it knows exactly what’s happening both in your protein and in your grill, oven, smoker, or air fryer. The 1000°F heat resistance and ultra-thin probe mean it won’t wreck your steak or dry out your chicken, and the battery life is genuinely impressive: up to 70 hours on a full charge, depending on the probe.

Black Friday battery deals aren’t glamorous — no one’s bragging about scoring 33% off AAs — but they are the quiet heroes of not having your entire life fall apart.

This is the time to grab those giant multi-packs of AA, AAA, and small FOB batteries that future-you will desperately need when the remote dies, the smoke detector beeps at 2 a.m., or a holiday toy demands four batteries you definitely don’t have. They’re not exciting, but they are practical, inexpensive, and guaranteed to save you from at least one meltdown later. Stock up now, thank yourself in January.

If your cat treats every hour like mealtime, the PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder is the kind of sanity-saver worth grabbing — especially at its Black Friday price of $54.99 (down from $89.99). It lets you schedule up to six meals a day, with portion sizes you can fine-tune so your pet actually sticks to a routine.

Plus, the feeder has dual power (USB-C plus battery backup), so it keeps working even during outages, and you can record a quick 10-second meal call to summon your pet like the tiny royalty they believe they are. At this price, it’s a low-stress upgrade for both you and your cat

The Barbie DreamHouse is basically the Super Bowl of dollhouses — three stories, 10 play areas, a working elevator that fits four dolls, and more than 75 accessories packed into a 43-inch-tall pastel palace. Kids get lights, sound effects, music, a slide that drops straight into the pool, and even a puppy play zone because, of course, they do.

For Black Friday, it’s down to $134.99 from $242.99, a price drop that turns a “maybe” into an instant "add to cart." If you want a gift that guarantees hours of chaos, storytelling, and tiny plastic cupcakes scattered across the house, this is the one.
