Boxing Day 2024 in Australia: the best deals still available
Grab a bargain on smartphones, tablets, audio gear, TVs, cameras, laptops, appliances and much more
It's now the day after Boxing day, but we are still checking prices and hunting for any hidden bargains. While technically the sale event is over, many retailers have discounts running through till December 31, so there's plenty of time yet to snag a deal.
If you are buying after-Christmas presents over the next few days, be mindful of delivery times when shopping online – next-day delivery isn’t always guaranteed at this time of year, even with Amazon.
Boxing Day (and the days afterwards) are also ideal for picking up back-to-school tech or upgrading your gadgets for 2025. If you know what you or your child needs – now’s the time to grab it cheap.
As usual, we’re tracking all the best bargains as they roll in. Check out our top picks below, featuring many discounts that are as good as – or better than – Black Friday.
I've been writing about tech for almost two decades and love nothing more than finding a bargain. When I'm not getting hands-on for a review, I can usually be found poring over the endless spreadsheets I use to track product prices and uncover the best deals.

The B6 is the top rated budget option in our best power banks buyers guide and outperforms much more expensive models. Ignore the listed RRP – AU$29.99 is the normal price, and while this isn't the cheapest we have seen, AU$25.49 is a decent discount.

Hate carrying cables? This handy little accessory doesn't need them, as it's able to deliver a charge to your iPhone (12 or later) using the magnetic MagSafe tech on the back. The 5,000 mAh capacity is enough to bring most iPhones from 20% back to a full charge, and it’s small enough to slip in a pocket.
Save AU$25.95
This Xbox controller almost always gets a discount during major sales, but different colours tend to be priced differently. This time around, white colour option is the cheapest, although it's not quite the lowest price we've seen – that was AU$52.50 for the red controller back in May. It could still be a good time to pick up an extra gamepad or two for a reasonable price.
Save AU$30.04
Already affordable, these wireless buds get a further 30% discount – the lowest price we've seen. That's not bad considering we rate them 4.5 stars in our Earfun Air Pro 3 review, and they have active noise cancelling, premium aptX sound quality and 45 hours total play time.
Save AU$75
Offering active noise cancellation below AU$75 is no small feat, but the Moto Buds manage it. With 51% slashed off the price, these buds are an attractive buy.
Save AU$11

Save AU$35.21
Our 1More Sonoflow review praised the comfort of the headphones, as well as the excellent active noise cancelling and up to 70 hours of battery life. This deal is very slightly better than during Black Friday, and while not the very lowest price we have seen, it's still an excellent discount.
Save AU$18
This compact mid-sized power bank is a great option for fast charging your phone on longer trips where a smaller capacity power bank won't cut it.

It's not the cheapest we've seen the AirPods Pro 2nd Generation earbuds, but it's still an attractive discount worth considering if you're an iPhone user. Brilliant noise cancellation and transparency modes, along with epic sound quality make the AirPods Pro essential for an Apple lover.
Save AU$107
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. Or grab them in white for AU$189.
Save AU$129.01
Check out our Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro review for the full insight, but rest assured these earbuds have a lightweight and comfortable design that delivers fantastic sound quality, with active noise-cancellation and 360º spatial sound. While we have seen better discounts for the Buds 2 Pro (down to AU$140), this is still a decent price if you want them now.
Save AU$50.01
Nothing's latest earbuds are worth considering as an affordable rival to Apple AirPods and Samsung Galaxy Buds. In our Nothing Ear review, we praised the buds for their earth-shaking base, comfortable fit and personalisation, though we would have liked high max volume and a longer battery life.
Save AU$30.01
Nothing's affordable Ear (a) earbuds are show-stopping, offering fun and expansive sound, improved noise cancellation over the previous model and a much more pocketable case – impressing us so much that, in our Nothing Ear (a) review, we awarded it an Editor's Choice seal of approval. With AU$30 off, they're all the more attractive.
Save AU$180
We gave these stunning earbuds 4.5 stars out of 5 in our review, as they have class-leading audio handling and impeccable sound quality that rivals the best wireless earbuds. With balanced sound, effective ANC and a great battery life, these Sennheiser buds will make any audiophile smile. Even better, this is only AU$1 more than during Black Friday.
Save 23.95
Bluetooth speakers don't come as portable as the JBL Clip 5. It has a built-in carabiner clip that can latch onto virtually anything you wish, and despite its small size, it's capable of putting on a loud, lively sound. Extra features include an IP67 waterproof rating and an adjustable EQ.
Save AU$54.95
A brilliant portable speaker with room-filling sound, the JBL Charge 5 boasts great audio balance and impressive battery life, so much so that it earned a TechRadar Recommends seal of approval in our review. There may be no aux port, and there's some distortion at high volume, but it's one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers you can buy, and has a spot on our list of the best portable speakers. Currently sold out in all colours aside from red.
Save AU$120
This AU$120 discount brings B&W's excellent, premium over-ears in-line with other big-hitters from Sony, Sennheiser and Bose, making them seriously worthy of your attention. They unearth exceptional amounts of detail, deliver excellent low-end bass and they're unbelievably comfortable to boot. Plus, we reckon the Forest Green colour (pictured) makes them some of the best looking cans, ever.
Save AU$115
While not the lowest price we've seen on what are still arguably Sony's best over-hear headphones (the newer XM5s are a minor update to our ears, and arguably not worth the extra dosh), Amazon's discounting both white and black colour options by 26%, which brings them back to their Black Friday of AU$324. They deliver superb sound, have outstanding ANC and the batteries last for up to 30 hours. Well worth the asking price.
Save AU$94
It's not the biggest discount we've ever seen, but any saving on Sony's excellent XM5 over-ear headphones is always welcome. They deliver the best all-round performance of any premium pair available right now, ticking all the major boxes of sound, noise cancellation and comfort.
Save AU$333.17
It made the news for all the wrong reasons and, admittedly it's not the best idea Dyson had for headphones, but if you're the exception who is keen to try these... uh, well, exceptional headphones with a purifying mask, Amazon is offering a 33% discount.

Save AU$60
This is an awesome bundle if you want to hit the ground running with a Nintendo console. It includes the Nintendo Switch OLED, Super Mario Bros. Wonder (the latest mainline Mario game) and 12 months of Switch Online, the company's subscription service that enables online play and exclusive eShop discounts. This same bundle was AU$429 over Black Friday, but we think this price is still OK value thanks to the bundled extras. If you don't want those extras, you can get the standalone console for AU$448.99.
Save AU$50
Offering much of the same functionality as the Nintendo Switch OLED, minus the gorgeous OLED display, the standard Switch is still a worthwhile device, especially if you want to save a little bit on your purchase.
Save AU$250
Back to the price it was through most of October (and all through Black Friday), the latest Quest VR headset now comes bundled with one game to get you started. Considering I've not seen this bundle drop any lower than AU$799, I'm not convinced we'll see a better price on Boxing Day itself, so maybe it's worth gifting to yourself for Christmas.
Save AU$63.96
This is a masterful retelling of the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga, bringing out the deeply emotional story that first appeared on the original PlayStation. If you're a fan of Square Enix's Final Fantasy series, grab this now. You'll get approximately 100 hours of gameplay from this game, which is excellent value at this discounted price.
Save AU$45.95
A true return to form for the COD franchise, Black Ops 6 delivers a scintillating and visually impressive campaign mode, an engaging multiplayer mode with new movement mechanics and of course, Zombie mode. It's easily one of the best entries in the franchise in years.
Save AU$93.01
This is a very steep discount on a massive Bethesda RPG, and it's an especially good time to grab it with the recent release of the Shattered Space expansion (sold separately). If you're fond of the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series, this is basically a must-play. If you are, however, a Game Pass member, this game comes included with that service.
Save AU$55.95
The latest release of the Shin Megami Tensei V series brings a new "vengeance" storyline that's a heck of a lot better than the standard game. It also adds some quality-of-life improvements that make this a brilliant JRPG, brought to you by the makers of the Persona series.
Save AU$55.96
We called this fourth Dragon Age title "a mightily impressive return to the fantasy series" in our 4-star review, and although it was only released a couple of weeks back on Nov 1, it's now available with a sweet 51% off the RRP at Amazon AU.
Save AU$100
This is an excellent gaming keyboard from Asus that delivers excellent switch feel, effective sound dampening, and an elegantly compact form factor despite being a full-size keyboard. The deal price here matches a previous low we've seen.
Save AU$100.95
If you're a Mac user who wants a Mac-optimised keyboard but not the Magic Keyboard that Apple offers, the Logitech MX Keys Advanced keyboard is an excellent choice. The keys are illuminated and mechanical, and wireless with a battery life of up to 10 days (or five months without backlighting). It has a Mac layout, so if you're a Windows user, you might miss the Windows key.
Save AU$378
Our friends over at PC Gamer gave this Alienware monitor a glorious 92 / 100 review. The monitor used Samsung's new QD-OLED tech to give a 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, 240Hz refresh rate (supporting AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync) and a 0.03ms response time. It's going for a terrific price that blows its Black Friday discount out of the water.
Save AU$267

Save AU$20
This latest release of Amazon entry-level Kindle only came out last month, and while we think it's got great performance, it's a little hard to recommend at full price. This small 10% discount goes some way to rectifying that, and if you're after a lovely Christmas present for someone who loves to read, this makes for a great festive option, particularly in the new Matcha Green colour... though it's also discounted in the usual Black.
Save AU$40
A 33% discount is a little disappointing, but then the 2024 Paperwhite remains the best Kindle you can get. Its E Ink Carta 1300 screen is fantastic, page turns are quick and, in the few days I've used it, I've had no issues with lag or ghosting.
Save AU$50
The best-value Kindle in our opinion, the latest Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is speedier in use than the model it replaces, which makes a huge difference if you read a lot. The screen is a bit brighter too, which is a great addition. If you're happy to still read in black and white when there's colour ereaders on the market, this is the best option.

Samsung's budget handsets are excellent, and the Galaxy A55 is such a nice smartphone that it sits well beside Samsung's most premium handsets. It's not the lowest price we've ever seen for the handset (we've previously seen it as low as AU$447) but AU$200 off one of 2024's best phones can't be ignored.

Available in Graphite, Mint and Blue.
Save AU$102
Motorola's entry-level smartphone is already quite affordable, and this AU$102 discount makes it cheaper still. That said it was down to AU$439 not that long ago, so expect this price to fall further. This phone packs a lot of power for the price, including a 6.7-inch display, an IP68 dust and water resistance rating, 256GB storage capacity and a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 CPU. It's hard to ignore if you want a gorgeous handset without breaking the bank.

Google might slowly be killing off the Fitbit brand but the Versa is still one of the more affordable smartwatches around. It retails for AU$379 in Australia, but having it shipped in from the UK means you can currently save just over AU$100 on the beet/copper rose colourway. While it's not as productivity-focused as the Apple Watch, it gets you quite a few fitness metrics – although the more detailed analysis will be locked behind a Fitbit Premium subscription.

If you want the best fitness features on a bright, AMOLED display, the Garmin Epix 2 is the watch for you. Its features are suitable for both the most adept and inexperienced trainers, with accurate GPS and excellent mapping.

The Forerunner 55 is Garmin's entry-level running smartwatch and already pretty affordable, but a range of retailers including JB are discounting it by a further 28% for Boxing Day.

And despite the name this one also tracks more than running, with modes for swimming, cycling, yoga and more.

The LG C4 dropped to around AU$2,500 during Black Friday, so clearly this discount isn't quite as good, but it's not far off! It's the best price we can currently find, and we think it still ultimately represents good value for what is an excellent screen. We think it will suit most homes thanks to its incredible gaming support and a much-improved processor over its predecessor. It's practically perfect in every way.

Similar to the LG C4 further up this page, the Bravia 8 uses a 'standard' WOLED panel, but thanks to a new processor, Sony manages to generate excellent levels of brightness, coupled with beautiful, natural colours. It's built-in sound system is also one of the best around. This isn't the cheapest price we have seen, but isn't a bad buy.

Also available direct from Bose with our exclusive discount code.

In our Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar review, we said this soundbar rivals the Sonos Arc – the best Sonos soundbar on offer. Now back down to its Black Friday discount, the Smart Ultra is compact, beautifully built, and offers plenty of control options to go with its wide, detailed sound.
Save AU$400.95
It might be mini by name but it's certainly not mini by nature. This Sennheiser soundbar is easy to accommodate and is more than capable of delivering a huge, detailed and precise sound into your room. Its companion app is one of the best around and it does well with music. The only real drawback is that it doesn't support HDMI passthrough.
Save AU$800
LG's 9.1.5-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar is genuinely very good indeed. The wireless subwoofer de/.livers thunderous bass, while the soundbar and rear speakers work in unison to deliver effective and authentic Dolby Atmos soundtracks.

Also available in white.
Save AU$22
Apple's streaming devices don't usually get any form of discounts, and AU$197 is the lowest we have seen. That's a big deal (pun intended), as it's still arguably one of the best media streamers available and definitely worth considering at this price.
Laptops, networking and accessories
Save AU$902
This is the same price as during the Black Friday sales, and AU$100 cheaper than yesterday. The slim laptop features the new Series 2 Intel Core Ultra 7 258V CPU, a big 15.3-inch 2800 x 1800 touchscreen display and premium features like a facial recognition webcam and Wi-Fi 7. Amazon (as usual) has a few of the specs wrong, so note it has an (excellent) IPS display, rather than OLED.
Save AU$705
Apple has no longer sells the M3 MacBook Pro, and instead is taking orders for the new M4 model. This means the older M3 models are seeing a discount, such as this deal that takes 14% off the still fantastic M3 Max powered machine.

While Amazon lists the before price as AU$1,999, as a comparison, the RRP from Lenovo for this same Yoga Slim 7 model is AU$2,349, and it's currently AU$1,579 after a 32% discount.

Or grab the 32GB model for AU$1598.

Our friends at Tom's Guide were impressed in their 4-star TP-Link Archer AX55 review, and it's one of our favourite models thanks to a good mix of solid Wi-Fi performance and an affordable price tag. While it's previously dropped to AU$103.70 on Amazon, this saving ain't too bad either.
Save AU$40
An upgrade over the older MX Master 3 variant, we gave the MX Master 3S 4.5/5 in our review, and said it's "a prime example of how to fix something that wasn’t broken to begin with". The price here is a bit more than the all-time-low, but still a decent buy.
Save AU$50
While we have not reviewed this particular Deco S7 model (but have tested a lot of TP-Link gear), it's at an all time low price on Amazon. AC1900 spec means plenty of bandwidth for normal use, and this 2-pack of mesh nodes can give whole home coverage. TP-Link has a lot of great deals for Amazon Prime Day (especially for higher speed networks), and the deals below are cheaper than Prime Day in July.
• TP-Link Deco AX3000 WiFi 6 3-Pack: AU$399 AU$299
• TP-Link Deco AXE5400 WiFi 6E 3-Pack: AU$799 AU$585
Save AU$302
This discount for the high-end Deco BE65 is almost AU$200 more than during Black Friday, and the very lowest price we have seen. We suggest you read our TP-Link Deco BE63 review for the full breakdown, but suffice to say it's very fast, and while Wi-Fi 7 isn't widely supported just yet, it gives great future proofing. It's also ideal for gamers, or those with a NAS, as the mesh nodes include a 2.5G network port.
Cameras
Save AU$201
Our favourite dash cam by a mile, the Nextbase 622GW records clear, detailed video footage, has excellent stabilisation and even performs well at night.

This is one of the best prices we have seen recently, though it is on backorder so will take a while to arrive.

It only weighs 86g even with a display fitted to the back and its sizeable 4K-capable camera. it can be immersed in up to 5m of water and is fitted with a single capture button for simplicity. Compared to the mainline GoPro active cameras, there aren't as many video options and you only get a choice of three aspect ratios, however the battery life is still impressive at up to 100 minutes.
Save AU$121
DJI's answer to GoPro, the Osmo Action 4 is a great action cam that benefits from a superior sensor over its predecessor. With horizon balance, better low-light performance than any other action camera and a noise-cancelling 3-mic system, this model is one to consider if you're an adrenaline junkie.
Save AU$212

Save AU$1,300

You don't need the Hue Bridge to control this lamp and it's got Apple HomeKit compatibility, along with Alexa and Google Assistant support.
Save AU$37.95
It's been increasingly hard to find this little smart lamp at retailers, especially at a discounted price. TechRadar's own APAC Managing Editor uses this lamp on her bedside table and loves it. It's not particularly bright at full bore, but it's enough for a small room or some ambient lighting. It will also make for a lovely centrepiece at a dinner party as it can work wirelessly too, albeit with limited battery life. Better yet, you don't need a Hue Bridge for it. Check out our full Philips Hue Go 2 review for more details.
Save AU$60
It's big and has multiple accessories to keep clean, but there's no denying this Sunbeam air fryer is a fantastic addition to any kitchen.

It's a heavy appliance, but it works cordlessly and even has an airplane mode that disconnects the battery while you're travelling. It also has a safety shut off that activates after about 10 or 15 minutes of inactivity.

This is one of the best sonic electric toothbrushes money can buy, and now one whole cent cheaper than Black Friday. If you didn't know what a 'sonic' brush it, it's quieter and gentler than an oscillating electric toothbrush (like Oral-B).

And the glass is actually the charger.

Plus, it's cordless, meaning you can take it on your travels too. While the Colgate Blast is often sold near the same 53% discount seen here, it's still a solid deal and not much above the lowest price we have seen.
Save AU$202
We love Breville's Barista Express here at TechRadar, and it's long held a spot in our guide to the best coffee machines (it's currently #3). Offering 16 grind settings, a 54mm portafilter and a barista-style design, it gives you full control over your morning coffee. We saw this Black Sesame colourway down to a low of AU$547 during Black Friday, so this deal is just as good.
Save AU$221
If you’re after a coffee that makes itself, then it’s hard to go past the Breville Creatista Plus. A great compact pod machine that can also do milk frothing without requiring a whole other appliance. The price listed here is for the Smoke Hickory silver colour finish only. Use the Good Guys price beat button to get an extra AU$10 off.

The Nespresso Pop is one of our favourite coffee machines – especially if you want a quick and easy pod concoction, and we've seen few better offers than this one from Nespresso.

You also get the Fluffy Optic cleaning head that illuminates invisible dust on hard floors to ensure you can capture every last mote. Prefer to buy direct rather than from Amazon? It's currently discounted to the same AU$977 on Dyson's own online storefront.

Soaring onto our best vacuum cleaner and best cordless vacuum lists after its release, the V15s Detect Submarine impresses with its ability to mop and vacuum while staying true to the fantastic and versatile cordless design Dyson has become known for. Offering up to 60 minutes of cleaning time with a replaceable battery pack, and powerful suction up to 240 Air Watts (AW), your carpets will be spotless and your hard floors will be shiny. Its one flaw is that dirty water can splash out when you take the Submarine attachment to a sink to be cleaned out, so be careful.
Save AU$600
This is AU$50 lower than the Black Friday price, and a great deal on the V15s Detect Submarine Complete, which is the Dyson-exclusive model and not available at any other retailer. The difference between this model and the standard one is the inclusion of the LED-lit Fluffy Optic for hard floors along with everything else. You'll even get the free-standing dock.
Save AU$275
While the Dyson V8 Origin Extra was AU$347 during Black Friday, this deal is decent, and the cheapest going. If you're on a tight budget but need a lightweight vacuum for quick clean-ups, the V8 gets you up to 40 minutes of battery life.
Save AU$320

You'll get all the same power and versatility at an even cheaper price, but you'll have to do without its neat little storing station and self-emptying system.
Save AU$360.01
Why settle for a single vacuum cleaner or separate machines when you can have multiple cleaners in one?

Dyson’s first robot vacuum cleaner to be available in Australia is pretty powerful and can do a decent job of getting into room edges to suck up dirt, but it is expensive and, in all honest, not great value. However, with a decent chunk of change slashed, it’s not a bad option if you really want a Dyson robovac. And just to watch that little tongue pop out to clean room edges might make this worthwhile for some people.
Save AU$600.11
This robot vacuum stands out with loads of great features, including a bagless self emptying station that help reduces the cost of operation. For the full insight, check out our Eureka E10s review where we give it 4 stars. Oh, and it also comes in white if you'd prefer. Plus it's very slightly cheaper than during the Black Friday sales.
Save AU$300
It's not as powerful or full-featured as other, more expensive Deebots, but it can still do a pretty decent job of cleaning up hard floors. It's navigation is great, but be careful with small items and cables on the floor as this bot might find itself entangled. It will mop quite well too, but don't expect the scrubbing motion from the more high-end robot vacuums.
Save AU$1,050
This deal features the Deebot T20e model, but you might want to take a read of our Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni review, where we cover some of the differences between the two. The T20e offers greater suction power but uses hot air and cold water for self-cleaning instead of hot water. While the T20e is normally sold around the AU$1,600 mark, and occasionally discounted down to AU$1,100, this is the best deal we have seen so far.
Save AU$550
It might be hard to convince potential buyers that this is a good offer without a full review from us, but I am in the process of testing this robovac and, with just first impressions, I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you've been holding off for a good autonomous vacuum/mop, the T30 Omni should be high on your list, especially at this price.
Save AU$420
This Ecovacs Deboot N10 packs some of the more attractive robovac features into a fairly affordable unit. You get 4,300Pa of suction, which is more than enough for hard floors, but it will struggle on very dirty carpets. But if hard floors is what you have in your home, this will vacuum and mop quite well for a fraction of its RRP.

LIVE: Latest Updates
Boxing Day is just around the corner – officially kicking off on December 26. But as always, many retailers aren’t waiting to get started – loads of Boxing Day sales are already live, and the deals are only getting better as we get closer to the event.
Some brands have been advertising ‘early’ Boxing Day deals for a while now, and the savings are stacking up. For the bargain hunter, this means more time to shop and more chances to score. We’re not complaining at all!
Right now, it’s a great time to grab those big-ticket items you missed out on during the Black Friday sales at the start of the month. And if you’re still hunting for last-minute gifts, well, you might have left it a bit late to shop online unless picking up in store. Boxing Day is also the perfect opportunity to stock up on back-to-school tech or gear up for 2025 upgrades.
With so many offers on – well – offer, where do you start? With us, of course. TechRadar’s Australian team has been scouring the interwebs to bring you the best deals on top products from trusted retailers. We’ll keep tracking the latest and greatest deals all the way through to Boxing Day and beyond – because some retailers are sure to extend their sales.
My team and I have nearly a decade of bargain-hunting experience, and we’re leveraging our product expertise to recommend only the best of the best. So join us on this shopping journey – we’ll help you save both money and time.
Google's Holiday Sale is technically wrapping up on Christmas day, but although it's not technically a Boxing Day sale, it still represents some fairly festive value.
Right now on the Google Store, you can score the Google Pixel 9 for AU$1,049 and the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL for AU$1,449.
These are two of our favourite phones of the year, and although you might be able to find slightly lower prices at other retailers, buying directly through Google gives you additional value through money back when you trade-in your old handset, along with an additional sizeable discount on a 41mm or 45mm Google Pixel Watch 3 when paired with one of these phones – with costs down to AU$493 and AU$569 respectively.
Just be aware that the Google Pixel 9 Pro isn't discounted through the Google Store – although it is from other retailers. The Good Guys, for example, is currently offering the Pixel 9 Pro for AU$1,297, perfect for if you want our favourite phone of the year cheap.
Tips for last-minute shoppers
It’s Christmas Eve, and while the festive spirit is in full swing, the reality of forgotten shopping has hit. If you’re looking to capitalize on Boxing Day sales in Australia but can no longer count on Amazon’s delivery services to make it in time, don’t worry – there are still excellent ways to score last-minute deals before Christmas day.
Consider Same-Day Delivery Options
Some stores, like JB Hi-Fi, offer on-demand delivery through services such as Uber. This can be a lifesaver if you find a deal you love and want it delivered straight to your door without waiting. JB Hi-Fi offers two types of Uber deliveries in metro areas:
ASAP Delivery: Your order will be delivered within 90 minutes to 2 hours of placing it.
Scheduled Delivery: If available, you can select a 2-hour delivery window during the store’s operating hours.
Eligibility: Orders must be placed within 20km of a store offering Uber delivery. Available 7 days a week from store opening until 2 hours before closing time.
Opt for In-Store Pickup
The smartest move, if you spot a deal on our curated Boxing Day sales page, is to order online for in-store pickup. Why? This ensures the item is in stock before you brave the retail madness. Plus, your order will be ready and waiting for you to collect, saving you time and stress. Most major retailers like JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, and other big-box stores offer this option, making it an ideal way to shop.
What to Do About Amazon Bargains
If the deal you’ve spotted is on Amazon but delivery isn’t feasible, don’t give up. Check physical stores like JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys for the same product. These retailers often match or closely align with Amazon’s pricing, especially during major sales events like Boxing Day. You might just find the same item for a comparable price and with the added bonus of immediate availability.
As you likely expected, Amazon's massive range of first party tech, which includes home security devices from sub-brands Ring and Blink, has seen huge discounts this festive season.
Ring represents the premium end of Amazon's home security offering, with high-end cameras and doorbells on offer that can shoot in 4K. Blink, meanwhile, is a newcomer to the Australian market, with more entry-level home camera options available. Both product families have Alexa compatibility, but have seperate apps from each other.
As Ring has existed Down Under for much longer, there are more products both on offer generally as well as discounted. This includes the AU$199 Ring Stick Up Cam Battery two pack (was AU$329), the AU$129 Ring Battery Video Doorbell + Chime (was AU$189) and the AU$89 Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Camera (was AU$129).
Those low prices are quite alluring, but don't count Blink out – because the costs can be brought down even more. As part of Amazon's Boxing Day sales, you can score a Blink Mini 2 for AU$50 (was AU$99) and a Blink Outdoor 4 for AU$75 (was AU$149).
Merry (almost) Christmas from all of us at TechRadar!
It’s Christmas Eve, and the festive cheer is in the air. Or at least hopefully a lot of smoke from a BBQ dinner.

Or maybe just some Netflix and chill.
For us, finding amazing deals feels a little like unwrapping Christmas presents. That’s why, first thing on Christmas morning, a few of us will be back at it – double-checking prices, hunting for fresh bargains that Santa left, and updating our live coverage to bring you the best (slightly early) Boxing Day sales as they happen.
If you’re taking it easy tomorrow and want to sneak in some online shopping for the gifts you didn’t get, we’ve got you covered. Our team will be tracking all the biggest and best sales throughout the day, so you can find exactly what you’re looking for – whether it’s that perfect tech gadget, like noise-canceling headphones or a sleek new laptop, or a great deal on a new appliance for your home.
A Christmas morning look at today’s deals before Boxing Day
Merry Christmas! I’ve taken a moment this morning to check for any early updates, and while most major changes in pricing will arrive tomorrow, there are still a few standout deals worth noting today.
Retailers tend to unveil their blockbuster discounts at midnight on December 26th, which means today is a quieter day in terms of significant price changes. That said, a handful of products have dropped a decent amount in price compared to yesterday, making them worth checking out if you get a break in the days festivities.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura | Intel Ultra 7 258V / 32GB / 1TB SSD AU$2,799 AU$1,997 (dropped AU$100)
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 (4-pack) AU$169 AU$103.70 (dropped AU$18.30)
Hisense U7N (65-inch) AU$2,295 AU$1,244 (dropped AU$101)
If none of today’s deals catch your eye, don’t worry. Boxing Day sales are traditionally when retailers go all out with their biggest discounts of the year. Be sure to check back tomorrow for updated deals and recommendations to make the most of the sales frenzy.
Happy holidays, and happy shopping!
Discounts disappear – but Boxing Day brings hope

What about Boxing Day deals that actually went live today? We'd been patiently waiting for the excellent Nothing Ear headphones to get a discount, which finally happened this morning. While not the very lowest price we have ever seen, the discounts are not far off.
Save AU$50.01
Nothing's latest earbuds are worth considering as an affordable rival to Apple AirPods and Samsung Galaxy Buds. In our Nothing Ear review, we praised the buds for their earth-shaking base, comfortable fit and personalisation, though we would have liked high max volume and a longer battery life.
Save AU$30.01
Nothing's affordable Ear (a) earbuds are show-stopping, offering fun and expansive sound, improved noise cancellation over the previous model and a much more pocketable case – impressing us so much that, in our Nothing Ear (a) review, we awarded it an Editor's Choice seal of approval. With AU$30 off, they're all the more attractive.
We’re halfway through Boxing Day, and one deal that’s catching my attention is the TCL C855 TV. I bought this mighty TV during the Black Friday sales for AU$1,620. Today, it’s AU$40 cheaper, so I don't have any regrets about buying it earlier. Especially since I got Covid for Christmas (my first time), and spent the day watching bad movies (and looking at price tracking spreadsheets).
But if you’ve been holding off, now might be the perfect time to take the plunge. I think it’s unlikely this TV will drop much further in price anytime soon. Technically, there was a slightly lower price at Costco a while back, but that seemed more like a one-off deal than something to rely on happening again.
Save AU$1,415
An even greater discount that what we've previously seen on TCL's excellent QD Mini-LED which we said was "easily one of the most impressive budget mini-LED TVs you can buy" at its full price. Shaving off over a grand from that price makes this an even easier telly to recommend.
Other sizes:
• 75-inch: AU$3,995 AU$2,480
• 85-inch: AU$4,995 AU$3,099
• 98-inch: AU$9,995 AU$5,870
Amazon might have pulled the plug on some attractive first party products on Christmas Day, including Fire and Echo devices, but there's still some great opportunities to upgrade your home speaker arrangement.
Amazon's Echo devices, including the Dot, Spot and Show have been marked down for Boxing Day, letting you get an Alexa-filled home quite cheaply. These smart speakers offer quite rich sound and some decent smart home capabilities, but obviously you'll need to get used to the Alexa ecosystem.
Save AU$40
Brilliant audio quality is the leading reason to pick up an Amazon Echo Dot, with the device still so reliable despite being last refreshed in 2022. Knocking an impressive AU$40 off RRP, this smart speaker comes with voice control via Alexa too, so you can stream your favourite apps, listen to music or the news and schedule reminders.
Save AU$70
What about great sound with a display? The Amazon Echo Show 5 is perfect for placing anywhere in your home where you might want a convenient screen, such as a kitchen bench for reading recipes or the side of a desk for smart home notifications. You can even watch YouTube on its crisp 5.5-inch touchscreen display.
Save AU$50
Maybe the Echo Spot is the best of both worlds – a display that isn't too big, great sounding speakers and a convenient size. The Amazon Echo Spot comes with a small screen for displaying time and weather at a glance, doubling as an alarm clock and showing playback information when playing music. A perfect device for the desk or bedside table.
Samsung's Galaxy S, Galaxy Z and Galaxy A smartphones are no stranger to a discount, but with 2024 coming to an end and new phones tipped for January, is now a good time to buy a Samsung device?
The South Korean tech giant made some of the best phones of 2024. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the best camera phone with its incredible lenses, while the Samsung Galaxy A55 is arguably the best cheap phone in Australia.
But come January, we're expecting the Samsung Galaxy S25 series to release. That'll make the current Galaxy S24 a generation behind with a lowered base price, understandably so given that the tech will be older.
As for right now though, it's not a terrible time to buy a Samsung Galaxy S device if you don't mind having a year old handset, with sweeping discounts across the whole range. As for the Galaxy A range, it's likely that follow-up devices will be released in March, so while the A55 is near its lowest price ever, you could also just wait until March for the next device.
Save AU$502
Samsung's flagship smartphone has seen constant discounts over the past couple of sales events, with the price often dropped to this point. The rectangular handset boasts our favourite cameras on any smartphone, and its performance is simply unmatched by its rivals. It's a brilliant phone for a power user, but you may also wish to wait until January, as a new model may be released. All colourways are currently discounted.
Save AU$228
The middle child Samsung Galaxy S24+ might lack the angular design and powerful cameras unique to the S24 Ultra, but it's still a brilliant option if you're looking for a 'just right' solution, packing an awesome display and camera lenses that aren't bad at all. This discount applies to all colourways.
Save AU$202
The Galaxy S24 FE launched a lot later than its non-FE siblings as a cheap entry point to the Galaxy S range. As such its discount isn't as massive, but it's still a worthwhile option if you want a new phone for less. This discount applies to all colourways.
Save AU$202
Samsung's budget handsets are excellent, and the Galaxy A55 is such a nice smartphone that it sits well beside Samsung's premium 'S' handsets. It's not the lowest price we've ever seen for the device (we've previously seen it as low as AU$447) but AU$200 off one of 2024's best phones can't be ignored. Note that the device is currently out of stock on Amazon, with the retailer noting that it will deliver when stock is available. This discount applies to all colourways.
Robovacs have seen huge discounts this Boxing Day, with products from Roborock, Ecovacs, Eureka and more on sale.
Robovacs, or robot vacuums, are great for keeping your floors clean, and when it comes to more expensive models, mopped. Prices range by quite a lot depending on quality and features, with many options coming with included drop-off bins.
Here's a quick snapshot of what's currently on sale over on Amazon:
Save AU$600.11
This robot vacuum stands out with loads of great features, including a bagless self emptying station that help reduces the cost of operation. For the full insight, check out our Eureka E10s review where we give it 4 stars.
Save AU$751
A brilliant high-end robot vacuum, the Roborock Q Revo MaxV includes a bunch of premium features, including a bin, 7,000Pa suction, and a double spinning mop that refills from a tank in the bin.
Save AU$650
This deal features the Deebot T20e Omni model, but you might want to take a read of our Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni review, where we cover some of the differences between the two. The T20e offers greater suction power but uses hot air and cold water for self-cleaning instead of hot water.
Evening price updates
The deals have been ramping up all day. We’ve done another round of price checks and updates to make sure you have the latest prices and best deals for your evening shopping. While there are loads of bargains to choose from, one that caught our attention is the Apple TV 4K for AU$197.
While this is only a small discount from the regular price of AU$219, it’s a pretty good deal for Apple, considering they rarely give much of a price reduction during sales. In fact, it’s the lowest price we’ve seen for this streaming device, making it a standout offer for anyone looking to upgrade their entertainment setup.
Stay tuned as we continue tracking the best Boxing Day deals, and happy shopping!
Save AU$22
Apple's streaming devices don't usually get any form of discounts, and AU$197 is the lowest we have seen. That's a big deal (pun intended), as it's still arguably one of the best media streamers available and definitely worth considering at this price.
December 27: The deals aren’t done yet!
Boxing Day may be behind us – but that doesn’t mean the sales have come to a halt. It’s December 27, and we’re still hard at work clearing out old deals, checking prices, and hunting for the best remaining bargains. Many retailers have sales that will last till midnight on December 31, so there's still time to scoop up leftover stock and snag discounts that might have been overlooked during Boxing Day itself.
The TechRadar team is also on the lookout for any new price drops or extra discounts that retailers might roll out to keep the shopping momentum going. Whether you’re after tech, home appliances, or gaming gear – there’s still plenty of deals to be found.
Don’t wait too long, though – many popular products sold out during boxing day, and what’s left won’t last forever. Keep checking back as we highlight the best of what’s still available. Happy post-Boxing Day shopping!
Afternoon deals update: Starfield stands out
We’ve trawled through the deals all morning, and while there are still plenty of great options, there haven’t been any major price drops to report. That said, one deal that caught our eye is for the game Starfield.
It’s only AU$3.89 cheaper than yesterday, but at just AU$26.05, this is a fantastic price for such a highly regarded game. If you’ve been waiting to add it to your collection, now is a great time to grab it.
Keep checking back as we continue to sift through the sales for standout offers. Happy shopping!
Save AU$93.01
This is a very steep discount on a massive Bethesda RPG, and it's an especially good time to grab it with the recent release of the Shattered Space expansion (sold separately). If you're fond of the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series, this is basically a must-play. If you are, however, a Game Pass member, this game comes included with that service.
We've seen some brilliant discounts on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED in the back half of this year, especially during Black Friday where the pricey OLED model went as low as AU$360 on eBay before quickly selling out.
We're unlikely to see that similar value until likely mid-to-late next year, but after that, we expect the standard Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED and Switch lite to go on sale for much more attractive prices – if they're still being produced, that is. Why? Because the Nintendo Switch is being followed up with a sequel device next year (set to be announced before the end of March).
We've heard constant Nintendo Switch 2 rumours lately, including that the Joy-Cons will be magnetic and sport a more rounded design. It'll likely be bigger and no doubt it'll have better performance.
But as for right now – is it a good time to buy a Nintendo Switch? Well, it has been confirmed that Switch software will work on the Switch 2, but it's not clear yet if that extends to cartridges.
With that in mind, it's best to hold off on the purchase if you want the latest and greatest tech. If you don't mind having the current gen (soon to be 'old' gen) Switch, go for it – there's plenty of games to play – but support will likely wrap up sooner. and many games may not ship on it as the company prioritises the new hardware. It's still an attractive pick for a young child or somebody who just wants to play games casually, but an avid gamer may want to hold off for now.
Save AU$60
This is an awesome bundle if you want to hit the ground running with a Nintendo console. It includes the Nintendo Switch OLED, Super Mario Bros. Wonder (the latest mainline Mario game) and 12 months of Switch Online, the company's subscription service that enables online play and exclusive eShop discounts. This same bundle was AU$429 over Black Friday, but we think this price is still OK value thanks to the bundled extras. If you don't want those extras, you can get the standalone console for AU$448.99.
Save AU$50
Offering much of the same functionality as the Nintendo Switch OLED, minus the gorgeous OLED display, the standard Switch is still a worthwhile device, especially if you want to save a little bit on your purchase.
It wouldn't be a proper sales event without some fairly attractive deals on Dyson vacuums.
This Boxing Day, we've seen some brilliant price drops on the entry-level Dyson V8 Extra – a perfect option for your first stick vacuum. If you're after something with better battery life and more features, you might want to pick up the V15s Detect Submarine or the V10 Cyclone. If a stick vacuum isn't your style, Dyson's 'Ball' full-size vacuum is also on sale.
Save AU$270
While the Dyson V8 Origin Extra was AU$347 during Black Friday, this deal is decent. If you're on a tight budget but need a lightweight vacuum for quick clean-ups, the V8 gets you up to 40 minutes of battery life. Also AU$379 at The Good Guys.
Save AU$455.92
More powerful than the entry-level V8, the V10 Cyclone boasts a battery life of up to 60 minutes and a brilliant motorised head. Its 'point and shoot' emptying is super easy and hygienic, allowing you to clean out the bin without exposing yourself to the dirt inside. If you're in the market for a mid-range stick vacuum, it's hard to look past the V10.
Save AU$572
The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine Absolute offers a wet and dry design, doubling as a mop and a stick vacuum. It provides deep cleans across all surfaces with up to 60 minutes of battery life and some handy attachments.
