Thinking about grabbing a new phone or tablet? Buy both with this tasty deal on the Galaxy Z Fold 6. At more than NZ$1000 off, now's the time to snap (or fold) this foldable phone that we fell in love with in our time with it – giving you the best of both worlds between a top-tier smartphone and a portable tablet.

Save NZ$800

The best Samsung phone that money can buy – unless you need it to transform into a tablet – we were thoroughly impressed in our S24 Ultra review. In terms of cameras, performance and battery life, this phone is nigh unbeatable. While it's worth reminding that it is larger and heavier than most phones out there. We think it's well worth it, especially with this ludicrous saving.

We said there might be some small discounts on Apple's latest and greatest phones, and Noel Leeming has delivered. It might just be 50 bucks, but any discount is a bonus when we're talking about fresh iPhones. This discount is applied to the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Save NZ$553

It might be the middle child between the regular Galaxy S24 and S24 Ultra, but if you want a larger display without paying for unneeded power, this is the perfect deal for you. We loved it in our review, and for less than NZ$1,500 you get an incredible display, the same Galaxy AI features as the Ultra and perhaps the markets best battery life.

Save NZ$710

With a snappy Bespoke Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, plenty of base storage with this 256GB model and small improvements over its predecessor, the S23 Ultra earned 4.5 stars in our Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra review. You'll also snag a bonus 10,000mAh power bank to go with your new phone.

Save NZ$370

Scoring four stars in our Samsung Galaxy S24 review, the Galaxy S24 is a compact and powerful smartphone and we loved its sharp, bright display. Plus, it comes with seven years of security patches and OS updates if you're looking for a long-term handset.

Save NZ$200

Our favourite budget smartphone from Samsung, and one of the best phones money can buy, if you're looking for a near flagship experience without paying flagship prices, the A55 is it. From its design to its camera and performance, the A55 screams class but isn't priced like it.

Save NZ$180

It's not a giant saving, but the Galaxy S24 FE already offers incredible value at its regular price point, so saving almost NZ$200 on it is a worthy deal. We said in our Samsung Galaxy S24 FE review that It may not offer quite the power or camera of its flagship siblings, but the slight downgrades are worth the savings, and you still get a full suite of Galaxy AI features, a beautiful display and incredible battery life.

Save NZ$270

While the above deal on the newer S24 FE is probably going to be more attractive to most users, if you're looking for something a little cheaper, the Galaxy S23 FE is still a great phone for less than NZ$850. It's a solid, reliable handset that looks good – but we'd opt for either the Galaxy A55 or S24 FE depending on your budget.

Save NZ$80

We haven't used this super-affordable smartphone, but if you're looking for a cheap-as-chips handset from a trusted manufacturer, this is it. You get a large display, 50MP camera and a 5,000mAh battery that will last all day. If you want to pay for the basics, this is the deal.

Save NZ$46

We haven't had time with it, but with a 4.4 rating on Amazon and 4.5 from over 1,500 Google reviews, the G04 is a budget smartphone that is perfect for someone who needs a device to handle the essentials. It might not compete with the best phones – or best cheap phones – but it retails for less than NZ$200 and you don't expect it to. If you want a reliable handset that smoothly provides the essentials, plus a bright, large display, this is it.

Save NZ$400 (code CLEARANCE)

We wouldn't whip you for having never heard of Suunto, but don't write this smartwatch off as an off-brand Galaxy watch just yet. You can check out our full Suunto 7 review, but at this price its excellent display, fitness features and well integrated mapping are well worth it.

Save NZ$365.91

If you're looking for a smartwatch that is fitness-focused but can still be your daily timepiece, this fitness tracker is hard to beat, especially at this price. In our Garmin Forerunner 255S Music review, in which it earned 4.5 stars, we absolutely loved its triathlon support, on-device music, heart rate variability and heart rate tracking, and think you will too at almost 50% off.

Save NZ$157.01

If you're looking for a watch that's a little more simple, but is still one helluva fitness tracker, then the Garmin Instinct 2 is what you're looking for – now more than NZ$150 off. It earned the full five stars in our review as we fell in love with its rugged, durable and slim design, advanced training tools, accurate GPS and super-duper battery life.

Save NZ$386.81

If you're looking for a budget stick vacuum, then don't look past this deal on the Dyson V8. While it's quite a considerably older model in 2024 – and is lacking some of the attachments newer models provide – it offers great performance, good suction and 40 minutes of battery life on its standard setting, and has proven popular over 2024's previous sales.

Save NZ$271 (code EARLYBF)

We haven't reviewed this model, but at this price, if you're looking for a robot vacuum that can handle the bulk of your vacuuming for you – this discount is worth considering. Cleaning in methodical rows, this robovac offers the ability to let you map its route to avoid certain areas, differentiates between hard floors and carpets, has a simple phone app and cleans quietly.

Save NZ$170 (code EARLYBF)

We haven't gone hands-on, but if you're looking for a more affordable robot vacuum, this deal might be perfect for you. This E10 robot vacuum promises excellent cleaning of smaller debris like hair and rice, and even handles larger mess like cereal, and its battery will last more than long enough. However, users have reported complaints with the app and boundary markers.

Save NZ$45

it might not seem like the biggest saving, but if you're looking to grab the latest (and maybe greatest) action camera from the Go Pro-beating DJI, then this is it. We gave it 4.5 stars in our DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro review and hey, an extra NZ$45 in your pocket is never a bad thing.

Save NZ$119.29

The DJI Action 2 is an older action camera in 2024, but it's still worth considering if you're an adrenaline junky – or just have a holiday coming up. The main unit is waterproof to 10m, the magnetic mounting experience is sturdy and reliable and the Action 2 produces good, natural-looking footage. The Action 2 is a small action camera that makes the perfect travel companion.

Save NZ$53.67

We were big fans of this camera in our Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam review, awarding it a massive 4.5-stars out of 5. While it lacks motion tracking, that's a small drawback when compared with its 360-degree view, Privacy cover and audio disengage, Impressive visual and audio quality, and sensitive motion detection.

Save NZ$170.40

If you're looking to pump up your home security, there are few better ways to do so than with a Google Nest Cam – and if you don't want the hassle of dealing with wires, the battery model is just what you need. In our Google Nest Cam (battery) review, we loved its camera quality, Google Assistant integration and flexibility provided by being battery powered – and its facial recognition impressed, though you'll need to subscribe for that.

Save NZ$140.59

It might not be as big a name as Ring or Google Nest when it comes to home security, but Eufy is one of the best makers of home appliances, including robot vacuums. This waterproof security camera promises durability with a 120-day battery life, 600 lumens spotlight, colour night vision and an 100dB Siren.

Save NZ$344

The only thing better than one battery-powered Google Nest Cam is two. Letting you cover the front and back of your home, upstairs and downstairs or inside and outside, not only does having two cameras allow for more flexibility, but their battery operation means you can move them around as you see fit.

Save NZ$100

It's a lot to spend on a mouse, but when you're spending hours with it in your hand every day, shouldn't it be the best mouse? That's exactly what we think the Logitech MX Master 3s is, and a 25% discount is nothing to sneeze at.

Save NZ$124.80

Want a thin, streamlined, wireless keyboard? Then the MX Keys S Advanced is about as good as it gets, especially at this price. We haven't used it, but with near five-star ratings across JB Hi-Fi, Google, Amazon and Logitech, we feel comfortable recommending it.

If you've been waiting for an affordable gaming monitor for work and play, then you'll be happy to see this discounted 165Hz HP Omen monitor.

Save NZ$727.03

If you're looking for great performance at an affordable price, then this discount on the 15.6-inch AMD Ryzen-7-5700U-powered Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 1 is hard to beat. Its slim design makes it super easy to carry and work on-the-go, and its powerful processor makes multitasking and work a breeze. At this price, work laptops don't get much better.

Save NZD$1,336.35

This AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7540U-equipped ThinkPad T14s has a 14-inch screen with a useful 16:10 aspect ratio and a 1920x 1200 resolution – though it's non-touch, with 45% NTSC colour and 300 nit brightness. Still, the ThinkPad has features like a fold-flat screen and fast Wi-Fi 6E. Or, for NZD$7 extra, you can trade (down) to a 256GB SSD, but in return get a touchscreen and a facial recognition webcam.

Save NZD$1,710

This ThinkPad T14 features an older but still decent Intel Core i5-1335U CPU in a chassis that weighs just 1.32kg. The versatile T14 has productivity-focused features, like a 1080p facial recognition webcam, fingerprint reader and a 16:10, 1920 x 1200 display that can fold through 180º to lay flat. Most importantly, the ThinkPad T14 is a massive 51% off.

Save NZD$1,130

Like a big screen laptop? The 16-inch Yoga 7i has a large IPS display, with 1920 x 1200 resolution, 300-nit brightness and 45% NTSC colour. Sure, we wish it had an OLED like the 14-inch model, but with a powerful yet efficient Core Ultra 7 155U CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, it's a great 2-in-1 machine.

Save NZD$1,020

Save NZ$303.18

Don't let the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones understated design fool you. They offer detailed and crisp sound, with excellent ANC and transparency modes, and a 60-hour battery life that beats out most competitors. The Special Edition is currently discounted the most, but the Pride Edition is also available for only NZ$10 more. We loved them in our review, and this price scraped in just below the lowest price we've ever seen for the headsets.

Save NZ$111

If you're looking for noise-cancelling earbuds – rather than over-ear headphones – we think these are the best on the market, so grabbing them at this price is a steal. Unless you're the proud owner of the Apple AirPods Pro 2, these buds are easily recommendable to anyone.

Save NZ$140.94

They've been replaced by the XM5 model, but the Sony XM4 over-ear noise-cancelling headphones were so good upon their release that they continue to be our pick for the best headphones on the market. Comfortable, with incredibly effective noise-cancellation, stupendous sound. Now incredibly affordable, they're a must-have at NZ$344.

Save NZ$49.47
If you're looking for a quality pair of headphones without spending hundreds (or you don't trust your kid with NZ$300 headphones) we think these are the best budget headphones money can buy, and for just NZ$61, you're getting an insane deal. You won't get such a balanced, engaging sound anywhere else at this price.

Save NZ$31.39

If you're in the market for a more affordable pair of noise-cancelling buds, then this deal is for you. In our EarFun Air Pro 3 review, we called them the budget ANC buds to beat, and they haven't been beaten just yet – sitting in the budget spot of our best earbuds list. Offering solid all-round performance, these buds excel at battery life and noise-cancelling.

Save NZ$101

Taking more than NZ$100 off the Galaxy Buds 3 is perfect for any Android users looking for a pair of AirPods. Doing away with the original Buds design, these redesigned buds are about as close as you can get. We've reviewed the Pro model, but we've spent plenty of time with this pair, and any deal on new Galaxy Buds is a nice one. Plus, given they retail at AU$299 price in Australia, Kiwis are already getting a good deal at full price.

Save NZ$111

It's only the fact that the Sony WH-1000XM4 are so darn good – and often considerably cheaper than the newer XM5's – that they don't sit at the top of your guide to the best headphones. Offering supreme comfort and sound quality, with a 30-hour battery life that competes with everything other than the Momentum 4, they got five stars in our Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones review, so taking NZ$94 off is quite the deal.

Save NZ$226 (code EARLYBF)

We know – it's still almost 300 for a little Bluetooth speaker, but here us out. If you're looking for a compact speaker that can fill even large rooms with audio, this is it. In our Ultimate Ears Epicboom review, we loved its design and intuitive, helpful app as well as its room-filling audio.

Save NZ$16

It's not a giant saving, but if you're looking for an affordable Bluetooth speaker that can go along with you to any parties, pool trips or hikes, this is the one for you. In our review, we loved that its small size means it can fit in any bag, plus its waterproof. At this price, what more do you want from a speaker?

Save NZ$76 (code EARLYBF)

The Megaboom 3 is one of the best waterproof speakers you can buy – with a rugged design, long battery life, and excellently loud audio. Plus, the DJ feauture – which lets two other people take turns controlling the mix – is a nice little addition when listening in a group.

Save NZ$133

We haven't reviewed this model, but JBL's reputation (and experience with other products) precedes it. If you're looking for a massive party speaker, this large speaker from JBL is splashproof, easily portable, has a replaceable battery for long-term use and even adds a lightshow to your party.

Save NZ$207

If you need a huge speaker that you can take to any party or event and fill the area with quality audio, this deal on the PartyBox 310 is for you. Unless you're partying for more than 18 hours, it has plenty of battery life – and its wheels and handle make it easily portable, despite its size.

Save NZ$33.46

We've only just finished testing the latest release of the basic Kindle and, while it has great performance, its price made it hard to recommend. However, this 16% discount on the newest Kindle takes care of that little problem, and if you're after a Christmas present for someone who loves to read, the Match Green Amazon Kindle is hard to resist (though Black is nice, too).

Save NZ$64.81

Announced in October, the latest Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition gets you a fancy new colour, as well as the black we're familiar with. Both are seeing the same 19% discount, letting you nab the best black-and-white e-paper display yet on the market. It's fast, looks wonderful and gets you 32GB of internal storage. You also get wireless charging that no other ereader brand offers.

Save NZ$209.09

Shipping with the Premium Pen – meaning the one with the eraser on the top – and getting you 32GB of storage, the Kindle Scribe is a fantastic productivity tablet. It's the only e-paper tablet to natively support Word docs and that screen is just fabulous! It's well worth the investment if you constantly take notes for work or study.

Save NZ$54.36

A 17% 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. That said, for just NZ$10 more, we think the Signature Edition listed above is a better bargain.

Save NZ$$1,300.95

We have loved other Samsung QLED Tvs we've spent our time with, and if you're looking for a mid-range QLED Smart TV then we feel comfortable recommending this model at this discounted price. You'll get a 120Hz refresh rate, excellent picture quality and awesome colour grading. Saving more than NZ$1,300, this deal on the QLED Samsung Smart TV is ridiculous.

Save NZ$975.95

We haven't been lucky enough to get our hands on this affordable TV, but coming from Samsung and with a 4.6-star average customer review rating from more than 20 ratings on Noel Leeming, we feel very comfortable recommending it at this price. With a superslim 26mm frame, it offers 4K resolution, provides access to the best streaming services in NZ and even lets you stream games with Xbox Game Pass or other cloud gaming services. At almost half price, it's hard to ignore.

Save NZ$1,100.95

We've only reviewed the more expensive Touch model, but if you take your coffee seriously – and want a barista-level cup of joe easily, this is the deal for you. Offering automatic grinding, dosing, tamping and milk texturing, this machine lets you go from beans to latte in seconds.

Save NZ$43.29

It's not going to break any power records, but if you're looking for a blender than can quickly whip up smoothies and milkshakes that you can drink straight from the cup, this is perfect at this price. It's also plenty powerful for stronger ingredients like crushing ice and breaking down nuts and seeds.

Save NZ$350

We haven't reviewed this model, but our friends over at Tom's Guide gave this coffee machine 4.5 stars thanks to its automatic steam wand and menu of barista style drinks that allow you to create your favourite cafe brews with ease. Its RRP is a little pricey, but it's a steal at just NZ$599.

The silver model can also be grabbed for 679 if the black doesn't tickle your fancy.

Save NZ$121.96

Save NZ$169.88

We haven't spent any time with this juicer, but Nutribullet hardly needs any introduction in the kitchen appliance space. This juicer is different to others in that it promises a quieter juicing thanks to its high-torque, low-speed motor. Plus, its no-drip spout keeps your juice mixing until you're ready to drink.

Save NZ$553

Save NZ$57.96
