Save AU$400

With a new range of Google Pixel phones available in 2024, the Pixel 8 is now a generation old – however it's still a very nice smartphone, packed with one of the best camera operating systems in any smartphone, a gorgeous chassis and Google's extremely user-friendly OS. We loved it in our review and gave it a TechRadar Recommends seal of approval.

Packing an outstanding battery life, brilliant suction, and Dyson's incredibly useful laser headlight that shows the dust in front of the vacuum head, the Dyson gen5detect is one of the best vacuums you can buy, and it's even more attractive with a big discount. We loved this vacuum in our review, though we noted that it struggled with edges, that its performance was comparable with cheaper models and it was quite heavy. If you want the vacuum event cheaper, Dyson is currently selling it directly for AU$969.

Samsung's newly released premium earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 3, aren't the most powerful in-ear headphones that the brand offers (that would be the Buds 3 Pros) but they're still very much worth considering, especially for their strong noise cancellation, long battery life and live translation smarts when paired with a compatible Galaxy phone.

Save AU$160

Save AU$1,500

One of the best TVs of the year and one of the few products that TechRadar has awarded a five star review, the Samsung S95D OLED 4K TV is the lounge room display to beat. The matte display is one of the most effective anti-glare screens on the market, standing up for itself in even the brightest of rooms. With so much money slashed off, it's hard to pass up – but if you'd like a smaller model, the 65" and the 55" both have AU$1,000 off.

Save AU$161

Dyson's AirStraight Straightener is an attractive home gadget if you're looking to get your hair straightened out quickly and effectively. The gadget comes with two drying modes and automatic pausing for when you're not currently using it, along with hot plate-less design. Though the hair straightener is slightly cheaper at David Jones, JB Hi-Fi might be your pick if you're particularly loyal to the yellow tech retailer or if you've got a gift card to splurge.

The MacBook Air for 2023 is now 18% off at JB Hi-Fi, which is better than the 10% discount we typically see on Apple’s laptops. It has a gorgeous 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display, along with a seriously impressive 500 nit brightness. If you can sacrifice a little portability for a big and bright screen, the MacBook Air (2023) is absolutely worth it.

We rate this as the best laptop for students, but it’s also fantastic for anyone who wants a slick Apple machine without paying a premium.

Philips 34-inch Evnia QD-OLED gaming monitor (34M2C8600) | AU$1,799 AU$1,399 (save AU$400)

We gave this monitor five stars in our Philips Evnia 34M2C8600 review, praising its fantastic image quality and performance. This is a 34-inch 1440p ultrawide monitor, and it offers great response times, gorgeous HDR and beautiful colours. It's even got USB-C with 90W power delivery. This is as good as it gets. One thing we didn’t like about this monitor is its high price, but JB Hi-Fi’s AU$400 discount for Black Friday helps.

Packing in the same Google Tensor G3 chip as the Pixel 8 Pro, the Google Pixel 8 is still fast with top-notch performance but priced under AU$1,000 – a price we won't see on the more premium model at this time. You also score a bonus AU$100 JB Hi-Fi gift card in this Black Friday offer.

Samsung Galaxy S22 (128GB) | AU$1,149 AU$727 (save AU$422)

Amazon did have this phone for a cheaper price of AU$697, but it's now out of stock there, making this deal at JB a good second-choice option. The Galaxy S22 is a former Samsung flagship released in 2022, but it still offers excellent performance, and now at a much lower price point. Available from JB Hi-Fi in either black or green.

Google Pixel 7 Pro (128GB) | AU$1,299 AU$899 (save AU$400)

Now being succeeded by the Google Pixel 8 Pro, the Google Pixel 7 Pro is picking up some nice discounts from different retailers.

Sonos Roam | AU$299 AU$186 (save AU$113)

We rate the Sonos Roam as the best Bluetooth speaker you can get, and now JB Hi-Fi has it for AU$186. It boasts powerful sound, and the bass-heavy audio makes it ideal for using outdoors. While some portable speakers can look a little too rugged, the Sonos Roam retains the brand’s understated design aesthetic. The Good Guys are offering the Sonos Roam for AU$185, but you can ask for a price match from JB Hi-Fi.

If you’re not interested in voice control or smart assistants – especially in a speaker – the Sonos One SL could be what you’re after. It’s a microphone-free portable speaker, which means it goes without Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, a welcome change for many. The Sonos One SL doesn’t support Bluetooth either, as it’s all about Apple AirPlay, so you’ll need an iPhone to use this speaker. You can get this speaker for AU$185 from The Good Guys, or alternatively ask JB to price match.

The Google Nest Hub Max has a 10-inch LCD touchscreen, which is great for making video calls, watching YouTube, or following step-by-step recipes while you cook.

Google Assistant is front and centre, so you can use the Nest Hub Max to control connected Nest security devices, smart lights, TVs and more. It was down to AU$269 during Black Friday last year, but we’re unsure if we’ll see that price again.

Tile Mate | AU$39.95 AU$18 (save AU$21.95)

The Tile Mate is a Bluetooth tracker that you can attach to important items like your bag, keys or pet’s collar, so you can find them more easily if you misplace them. Unlike the Apple AirTag, you don’t need an iPhone to use Tile’s trackers, so Android users aren’t left out.

Asus RT-AX82U V2 Wi-Fi 6 Router | AU$399 AU$249 (save AU$150)

With Wi-Fi 6 support and combined transfer speeds of up to 5,400Mbps, this Asus router is a great option for gaming households – or ones that just need a lot of speed. Note that this is the upgrades V2 version, which offers significantly more speed than the V1 we reviewed in 2020, while keeping all the things we liked such as a great mobile companion app, easy-to-use parental controls and a competitive price. And the latter's even better thanks to this JB Hi-Fi deal, which takes a massive AU$150 off the RRP and makes it the second-lowest we've seen.

Specs wise, this is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (or 802.11ac) set that's capable of combined transfer speeds of up to 2,200Mbps. While there are faster kits out there, we loved its simple setup and app integration, giving it 4.5/5 in our review. Worth a look if you want comprehensive Wi-Fi without the high cost.

Garmin Epix (Gen 2, Sapphire) | AU$1,699 from AU$847 (save up to AU$852)

One of the most advanced multi-sport watches around, we gave it 4.5 stars in our Garmin Epix (Gen 2) review for good reason. Practically perfect GPS and maps, advanced fitness tracking, plenty of metrics and a stunning AMOLED display. It all costs a pretty penny though, so when you can snap it up for under a grand, we'd say it's a good bargain.

Sony A7 IV (body only) | AU$3,599 AU$3,059.15 at JB Hi-Fi (save AU$539.85)

If you're after a really good hybrid camera that can do it all, consider the Mark IV version of the Sony Alpha A7. It's a big step-up from the previous generation, and produces remarkable results in both stills and video thanks to its 33MP full-frame sensor. It's not often we find JB Hi-Fi beating the specialist camera retailers in price, but it seems like this Black Friday, the electronics retailer is.

Going for half price, this robot vacuum will do a decent job on your hard floors and carpets. It's not the strongest Roomba in iRobot's arsenal, but at AU$499 it's not a bad option at all.

Apple AirPods (2019, 2nd Gen) | AU$219 AU$159 (save AU$61)

For now, one of the better prices we’ve seen is this offer from JB Hi-Fi, where the AirPods are down to AU$159. It’s worth noting that Amazon has them a dollar cheaper at AU$158, but JB Hi-Fi can price match.
