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.

We recommend checking out this Best Buy doorbuster TV deal while it's still available.

This is one of Best Buy's official doorbuster deals, which means it won't be around forever. (This TV is already out of stock at Amazon.)

We're still waiting to see if Hulu's classic 99-cent deal drops this Black Friday, but in the meantime, you can score heavily discounted or even free streaming deals.

The Kobo Libra Colour is now down to $199.99 ahead of Black Friday. That saves you $30 off its list price of $229.99, saving you 13% off. That brings the e-reader back down to the same Black Friday price we saw last year.

No, not that kind of Segway. The Segway Portable Power Station Cube 1000 boasts an impressive 2,200W AC power, expandable to 4,400W with R-drive function. That robust and high-performance operation can keep all of your devices charged in an emergency.

We consider these cute electric hand warmers one of the best undiscovered gems at Amazon. They're a go-to stocking stuffer and if you're looking for tech deals under $25, our Tech Editor recommends.

It's officially the best time of year to buy a TV. Now that Amazon and Best Buy have officially kicked off their Black Friday sales, we're seeing several 2025 Hisense, TCL, Samsung, and Amazon Fire TV models already down to record-low prices.

Hisense’s massive 98-inch QLED TV just dropped over $1,000 for Black Friday.

A portable power station is a lifesaver. Whether it’s a camping trip, road trip, or a sudden power outage, having something that keeps your essential devices charged is always handy. We're tracking all the best Black Friday portable power station deals right here.

In Amazon's Black Friday sale, you can get an incredible deal on the Anker Solix F1500. This impressive model is down to only $499 from $1,399. That's a whopping $900 discount. Unsurprisingly, this is also its lowest-ever price.

What’s cooler than a pair of classic Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses? How about a pair of classic Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses packed with smart AI tech? And we’ll go one better with a pair of smart AI Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses reduced by 20% in Amazon’s Black Friday sale.

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.

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.

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.
