While we're sure to see plenty more Black Friday deals at the retailer as we head through November, these early discounts are easily some of the best I've seen at Currys.
I've covered Black Friday deals for more than four years now, so I've got a vast archive of experience to draw upon when it comes to picking out record-low prices on products that we've personally reviewed here at TechRadar.

Currys Black Friday deals: my 11 top picks
Simply the lowest price for this five-star air fryer in over a year and an unmissable early Black Friday bargain if you're shopping for the popular appliance. The Ninja AF300UK 7.6L Air Fryer has six cooking functions including max crisp, air fry, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate. It’s simple to cook from frozen while still getting super crispy results. With a large capacity, you can cook up to 1kg of fries or a 1.6kg chicken in each drawer. It’s perfect for feeding the whole family or batch cooking.
We rated the Samsung Q80D as the best mid-range TV you can buy currently and the Curry's Black Friday sale has superb discounts across the whole range of available sizes. The Q80D offers premium-level features and performance at a more affordable price, including a high-quality and vibrant picture, excellent contrast and fantastic gaming support.
This mid-range toothbrush is a solid pickup while it's 55% off in the early Black Friday deals at Curry's. It doesn't boast many impressive high-end features but it has the basic ones you really need to brush your teeth effectively and efficiently, including a two-minute timer and a visible pressure sensor. Plus, you get a travel case included for free, too.
The 2021 iPad may be slightly older tech, but the 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day. The entry-level tablet can do it all without issue, according to our Apple iPad 10.2 review, whether that's browsing the net, streaming media, light work, or playing games. Today's deal at Currys brings the tablet down to £299, which is a match for the best price yet at the retailer.
The Garmin Instinct 2s is an incredible fitness-focused smartwatch for those who would prefer something a little more rugged than the usual options. Alongside advanced training tools and excellent GPS tracking, the Instinct 2s features class-leading battery life and a design that will hold up under even the most intensive punishment. We gave this one a full five stars in our Garmin Instinct 2s review so it's well worth picking up at this record-low price.
The Galaxy S24 FE is a pretty new device so today's record-low price in the Curry's Black Friday sale is a deal worth shouting about. While it's not the highest-end device that Samsung currently offers, the combination of a decent chipset with the brand's latest AI features and an outstanding display make it the mid-range Android device to beat right now. Looking for something more high-end? I'd also recommend the Galaxy S24 Plus for £749 (was £999) at Currys today.
If you're looking for a good-sized budget display, you can't get much better than this Hisesne 55-inch 4K TV that's on sale for just over £300 at Currys. The Hisense A6N sports 4K Ultra HD resolution support, a direct-lit LED array for excellent brightness and contrast, and Dolby Vision and HDR for superior colours. Access to all of your favourite streaming apps is just a button press away, too. All of this for so close to £300? Bargain.

As suspected, with Apple bumping up the base memory of the MacBook Air M2 and M3 to 16GB, retailers are cutting the prices of their existing stock of models with 8GB. While not the most powerful MacBook out there, this model with the M2 chip remains an excellent all-rounder, especially when it comes to day-to-day tasks like browsing the internet and writing up documents. For this new, lower, price, you'll struggle to find a better value laptop than this, even if the memory is a bit on the low side.
If you're looking for a pair of cheap (but decent) wireless headphones, you can do a lot worse than the JBL Tune 770NC. Our review found that these cans really punch above their weight when it comes to value, offering good battery life and surprisingly decent noise cancellation. They aren't the most exciting headphones on the market, but at under half price in the Curry's Black Friday sale they're at least worth a strong consideration.
I've been harping on about the brilliance of my Shark vacuum for over a year now so I'm definitely going to shout out this over £150 discount on a capable and affordable model from the manufacturer. The Anti Hair Wrap tech has saved me countless hours unclogging the brush roll compared to my old vacuum, which has been an absolute lifesaver. It's also a good option for reaching under furniture thanks to its Flexology design, it has impressive suction and comes with several handy accessories.

Currys has taken a whopping £300 off this mid-range laptop that boasts a slick 14-inch IPS screen, Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a decent up to 14-hour battery life. These components ensure solid overall performance for most day-to-day tasks including browsing, working and streaming videos. I'm particularly impressed with the large and fast storage at this price, which is more than enough room for your files, applications, photos, videos and more.
CURRY'S EARLY BLACK FRIDAY DEALS 2024: HOME
I've seen Ninja's recent space-saving air fryer for £20 less in the past, but this is still a good price for the popular and well-rated appliance – especially if you want it in a striking and slightly risky white. We loved it at TechRadar, scoring it full marks in our Ninja Double Stack Air Fryer review and even putting it in our best air fryer buying guide. Well-built and great-looking on any countertop, it offers five cooking levels across two drawers and two racks, while the 9.5L capacity is ideal for medium to big families.
Our Dyson Supersonic review called this the 'best hair dryer on the market' for its quirky design and impressive performance. The main issue? The price – which makes this nifty £50 discount in the Curry's Black Friday sale so compelling. It's still a little on the pricey side, sure, but Dyson builds its products to last - and you'll almost certainly get great results here.
Our De'Longhi La Specialista Arte EC9155MB review called this 'an easy-to-use espresso machine that creates smooth, rich coffee with a thick crema'. It's obviously not the cheapest machine on the market right now but it is one that we highly recommend if you're serious about your home brews. Just note that this is a traditional espresso machine that takes grounds rather than pods.
Simply the lowest price for this five-star air fryer in over a year and an unmissable early Black Friday bargain if you're shopping for the popular appliance. The Ninja AF300UK 7.6L Air Fryer has six cooking functions including max crisp, air fry, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate. It’s simple to cook from frozen while still getting super crispy results. With a large capacity, you can cook up to 1kg of fries or a 1.6kg chicken in each drawer. It’s perfect for feeding the whole family or batch cooking.
I've got a cordless version of this vacuum and I think it's one of the best things I've ever bought. The Anti Hair Wrap tech has saved me countless hours unclogging the brush roll compared to my old vacuum, which has been an absolute lifesaver. It's also a good option for reaching under furniture thanks to its Flexology design and it has impressive suction, all for a very affordable price.
The Dyson V10 is one of the manufacturer's more affordable cordless vacuum cleaners and it's an exceptional product that's more than capable of excellent performance. Not only is it extremely easy to use but it also provides decent suction even at the lowest of settings and it can last up to an hour on a single charge. It's not our favourite Dyson model (the latest versions are greatly improved), but the V10 is great value with this Black Friday deal at Currys.
This mid-range toothbrush is a solid pickup while it's 55% off in the early Black Friday deals at Curry's. It doesn't boast many impressive high-end features but it has the basic ones you really need to brush your teeth effectively and efficiently, including a two-minute timer and a visible pressure sensor.

I've been harping on about the brilliance of my Shark vacuum for over a year now so I'm definitely going to shout out this over £150 discount on a capable and affordable model from the manufacturer.

It's also a good option for reaching under furniture thanks to its Flexology design, it has impressive suction and comes with several handy accessories.
Here's a solid £150 off one of Dyson's most powerful vacuums, bringing it down to a record-low price. Its LCD screen gives you an insight into your cleaning, informing you how much debris you've picked up. That paired with a 60-minute run time makes the V15 one to buy if you're willing to part with some serious cash for an advanced and high-performance vacuum.
It's an expensive buy but we think the Dyson V15 Detect is worth every penny – in fact, we almost awarded this one five stars in our Dyson V15 Detect review. For the money, you get an incredibly advanced vac here with excellent performance and innovative features like a laser light that illuminates dirt on your floor. This particular listing also comes with the Submarine head attachment, which doubles as a mop for hard surfaces.
This is a larger version of Ninja's superb outdoor-friendly air fryer/BBQ combo, which we gave a full five stars for its ability to give a real smoky flavour without the mess of using charcoal. It's a steal with £50 off in the early Black Friday sale at Currys – the smaller model is currently the same price at Argos.
You can get a huge £70 off this six-in-one air fryer and grill in Currys' early Black Friday sale. There are lots of variations on the Foodi Max, but this is one of the best, letting you air fry, grill, roast, dehydrate, bake, and reheat meals with minimal mess. Ninja itself has now matched the price, too.
Launched just before Black Friday 2023, we labeled the world's best dash cam the "best add-on car security solution yet' in our Nextbase iQ review and there's now £100 off the most expensive version which is equipped with high-resolution 4K video. Nextbase currently has a buy one get one half price voucher on its store, which could equate to a big saving if you need two dash cams at the same time. Even with this large discount, the iQ is still expensive and you need an additional subscription to realize its full potential, but you'll struggle to find a more versatile camera for your vehicle.
CURRY'S EARLY BLACK FRIDAY DEALS 2024: TVs
We rated the Samsung Q80D as the best mid-range TV you can buy currently and the Curry's Black Friday sale has superb discounts across the whole range of available sizes. The Q80D offers premium-level features and performance at a more affordable price, including a high-quality and vibrant picture, excellent contrast and fantastic gaming support.
If you're looking for a good-sized budget display, you can't get much better than this Hisesne 55-inch 4K TV that's on sale for just over £300 at Currys. The Hisense A6N sports 4K Ultra HD resolution support, a direct-lit LED array for excellent brightness and contrast, and Dolby Vision and HDR for superior colours. Access to all of your favourite streaming apps is just a button press away, too. All of this for so close to £300? Bargain.
The C4 is the latest mid-range OLED TV from LG and it's now available at a record-low price of £1,199 at Currys. The 55-inch display features exceptional brightness, rich blacks, premium sound, and impressive gaming features – including four HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K at 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM support. Well-placed in our best TV buying guide, the C4 is a top buy if you need versatile all-rounder for movies, shows and games.
The 48-inch LG B4 OLED Smart TV offers the great picture LG sets are known for at a price that's much more reasonable than the high-end models. Its self-lit OLED pixels and Dolby Vision enhance color and contrast beyond what the average backlit TV can do. Its built-in gaming features and 120Hz refresh rate make it an unbeatable deal for gamers looking to upgrade. Today's deal is an absolute steal and a great purchase ahead of Black Friday.
This LG soundbar system is now down to its lowest-ever price – and it's a huge £200 cheaper than last year. Of course, it's another year older now, but it's still a strong offer for a 5.1.3-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer and rear speakers. We've tested a more basic model in our LG S80QY review, which praised its impeccable dialogue clarity. And with this S80QR model, you get the same performance but with a full surround experience. It also supports HDMI passthrough of VRR for gaming on the latest consoles.

The Vivobook has always been Asus' answer to the MacBook Air. It's a lightweight, powerful, and affordable laptop for both work and casual use – especially after this excellent price cut in the Curry's Black Friday sale. Generally speaking, you're paying a bit more here versus the super-cheap Windows machine but I'd say it's worth it. Not only do you get a great 13th gen Intel Core i7 chipset for decent performance but you also get a massive 1TB storage drive and 16GB of RAM for future-proofing. Definitely worth it in my books.

Here's a great early Black Friday deal on a capable gaming laptop at Currys. Not only do you get a decent RTX 4060 graphics card in this Gigabyte G6 but this machine also features 16GB of RAM and a powerful Core i7 performance. Even better still, you also get a decently-sized 1TB SSD here, which is perfect for storing multiple games at once.

If you’ve been looking to invest in a device that looks great and offers excellent performance here's a good deal on the latest Samsung Galaxy Book4. It's powered by one of the latest mid-range Intel Core 5 processors, plus there's 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD for decent overall performance. You pay more for the lovely display and sleek design of these machines, so you can get more power for a similar price if you prefer. However, it's hard to find much that competes with this Samsung Galaxy Book4 in terms of style, especially when you consider it boasts a great battery life, too.

This Acer 514 Chromebook Plus offers an impressive amount of power for the price. It includes 8GB of RAM and an Intel i3 processor, dramatically boosting performance, boot times and load times. There's also a decent 128GB of storage and battery life is excellent at up to 10 hours on a single charge. That's more than enough to last a full working day. At £250, it's a bargain for school or college, or just as a home laptop that you use for light use and everyday tasks.

Want a laptop but also think you'd appreciate the flexibility of a tablet? Why not both? This Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i offers a lot of versatility and decent overall performance for light use and everyday tasks thanks to the Intel i3 processor and 8GB of RAM. Plus, you have the option to flip it to tablet mode at any time to make web browsing or watching videos even more comfortable. Battery life is good, too with up to 9 hours available on a single charge.

The Asus Zenbook range is often overlooked in favour of the more well-known Apple MacBook or Dell XPS 13 laptops but they're awesome premium laptops in their own right. This Zenbook 14, for example, not only comes with incredibly up-to-date (and speedy) components, but it's also packing an impressive 3K OLED touchscreen display, which makes it absolutely perfect for working or kicking-back and consuming media.

Want the larger version of the latest MacBook Air? Currys is currently selling it for £1,099 – a price cut of £140. You still get the iconic thin and light design, along with the still-powerful M3 chip, but with a larger 15.3-inch display that can make working on this laptop a lot more comfortable – though that is at the price of pure portability, as this model is a fair bit larger than the 13-inch version.
The AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX received a perfect score in our review, thanks to its awesome performance, solid portability, and no 16-pin connector. It comes with 24GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a boost clock speed of 2.62GHz. Coupled with its discount of £70 and this is an absolute steal.
The MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED is easily the best ultrawide curved gaming monitor on the market right now (yes, even better than the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9), thanks to its fantastic design, outstanding performance, and outstanding RRP. We said in our MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED review that OLED monitors like this one have quirks that might annoy some, but if you can deal with OLED Care, this monitor's 5120x1440p resolution, blazing fast 144Hz refresh, 0.03ms pixel response, and 3-year warranty make it a must-have for gamers
OK, I get it, a £20 discount isn't the biggest savings on a gaming monitor, but the Gigabyte M32UC was already a fantastic value at its full retail price, as we note in our review. It's such a good 32-inch 4K 144Hz gaming monitor, in fact, that it's still at the top of our best gaming monitor guide two years after we reviewed it. Whether it's the top-notch gaming performance or its rich feature set, it's only beaten out by far more expensive OLED monitors, and even then, not by as much as you'd think. If you're looking for fantastic 4K gaming for less than £500, you definitely don't want to pass on this deal.
CURRY'S EARLY BLACK FRIDAY DEALS 2024: Phones and tablets
This is the best deal we've ever seen on Google's 2023 flagship phone. It's one of the top choices when it comes to integrating AI into a mobile phone, while its 6.7-inch display is as good as that on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the camera is equally impressive. The newer Pixel 9 Pro is slightly better in some areas, but it also costs £400 more than this still-excellent model.
The 2021 iPad may be slightly older tech, but the 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day. The entry-level tablet can do it all without issue, according to our Apple iPad 10.2 review, whether that's browsing the net, streaming media, light work, or playing games. Today's deal at Currys brings the tablet down to £299, which is a match for the best price yet at the retailer.
The Galaxy S24 FE is a pretty new device so today's record-low price in the Curry's Black Friday sale is a deal worth shouting about. While it's not the highest-end device that Samsung currently offers, the combination of a decent chipset with the brand's latest AI features and an outstanding display make it the mid-range Android device to beat right now. Looking for something more high-end? I'd also recommend the Galaxy S24 Plus for £749 (was £999) at Currys today.
The basic Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 is down to an impressively low price at Currys for Black Friday – though I have seen it £15 cheaper in the past. This basic tablet has an entry-level processor, a small 8.6-inch screen and only 64GB of storage so expect slightly slower performance and struggles with games or multitasking. However, if you only need a very basic tablet for light use – including general browsing, emails and watching videos – then it's up to the task and very affordable.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is a great choice if you've got your eye on upgrading to the manufacturer's latest and shiniest foldable flagship. We thought was the best one they've made yet, with a clean and durable design, excellent screen and impressive overall performance. Currys has a reasonable £300 price cut on the handset, plus the option to get an extra £100 off when you trade in your current device.
CURRY'S EARLY BLACK FRIDAY DEALS 2024: Smartwatches
The Garmin Instinct 2s is an incredible fitness-focused smartwatch for those who would prefer something a little more rugged than the usual options. Alongside advanced training tools and excellent GPS tracking, the Instinct 2s features class-leading battery life and a design that will hold up under even the most intensive punishment. We gave this one a full five stars in our Garmin Instinct 2s review so it's well worth picking up at this record-low price.
The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic takes everything we loved about the standard Watch 6, and makes it bigger. It's available in 43mm and 47mm sizes, has a stainless steel bezel, and is designed to look much more like an old-school watch. We're fans here at TechRadar, awarding it 4.5 stars in our Galaxy Watch 6 Classic review and praising features such as heartbeat, ECG, sleep and temperature tracking and its big AMOLED screen.
CURRY'S EARLY BLACK FRIDAY DEALS 2024: Audio
This is the lowest price we've seen yet for the headphones we awarded 5 stars in our Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless review. We praised them for their "excellent active noise-cancellation", "a suite of impressive features", their 60-hour battery and, of course, their sound and call quality – and at this price they're hard to pass up.
If you're looking for a pair of cheap (but decent) wireless headphones, you can do a lot worse than the JBL Tune 770NC. Our review found that these cans really punch above their weight when it comes to value, offering good battery life and surprisingly decent noise cancellation. They aren't the most exciting headphones on the market, but at under half price in the Curry's Black Friday sale they're at least worth a strong consideration.
Currys currently has the JBL Flip 6 down to a record-equalling low price of £88.99, which represents an excellent deal on one of the best bluetooth speakers. There's nothing too fancy about it, but it's a great all-rounder, offering good sound, 12-hour battery life, an IP67-rated water- and dust-resistant body and simple, effective controls. Other bluetooth speakers may do more, but the Flip 6 won't let you down.
CURRY'S EARLY BLACK FRIDAY DEALS 2024: Gaming
Now just £399 in the early Black Friday sales and at its lowest ever price, this mobile gaming device is cheaper than the best gaming PCs – and indeed cheaper than rivals such as the Steam Deck. It's a great choice for gamers on the go, with a 512GB SSD, AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU and up to 8hr battery.
Even though the console is older now, Nintendo Switch bundles are still big items during the Black Friday sales. This bundle includes the improved Nintendo Switch OLED console, a copy of the joyful platformer Super Mario Bros. Wonder and a year of Switch Online membership for access to online multiplayer, free games and other perks. It's good value for all these items at once for around the same price as the console by itself.
This is a little discount on the DualSense Edge and one that's been available for a few months. It's worth watching this listing closely for further deals.

This is Tim Coleman, Cameras Editor, here to tell you about one of my favorite cameras this year, which just got its first major discount – the GoPro Hero 13 Black. I was lucky enough to test the flagship action camera in Spain ahead of its launch, which was only in September, and it convinced me it's the most versatile action camera available, especially with its new auto detected Lens Mods.
GoPro's flagship is the most developed and well-rounded action camera ahead of DJI and Insta360, and the leading name in action cams has also pipped its rivals to the post with the best Black Friday deal – £100 off the Hero 13 Black + Accessories Bundle for just £349.99. For your money you get the camera, additional batteries, 64GB memory card, case, handle and more. Now that's a deal.
GoPro Hero 13 Black + Accessories Bundle: was £449.99 now £349.99 at Currys
Hey guys, Stephen from fitness and wearables clocking in here. As Black Friday gets ever closer, I've spotted a sweet deal at Currys that will get you the Garmin Venu 3 for just £379, a £120 saving on the usual RRP of £449. The Garmin Venu 3 tracks sports, calories, sleep, and heart rate, and can measure your VO2 Max, blood oxygen, and even your stress levels.
What's more, if works with both iOS and Android and has up to 14 days of battery life. This deal is available in two smart colors and is cheaper than Amazon's price of £399. Go on – what are you waiting for?
Garmin Venu 3: was £499 now £379 at Currys
Hello! Homes Editor Cat Ellis hopping in to tell you about a great offer on a super stylish Smeg espresso machine in the Black Friday sale. The Smeg EGF03CRUK is now down from £849.95 to £699.95 at Currys – a huge saving of £150.
I'm a big fan of Smeg's retro Italian designs – it's like having a Vespa in your kitchen – and the EGF03CRUK is no exception. If you've been thinking about investing in a proper manual espresso machine, it's a lovely choice, and a practical one thanks to features like an integrated burr grinder. Whenever I speak to professional baristas, they always tell me that a quality grinder is one of the best investments you can make for consistently good coffee (after all, it's the first thing that makes contact with the beans), and a decent standalone one can easily cost over £100.
It also offers different coffee temperature options, water hardness settings, and pre-infusion profiles, all of which are easily accessible using the set of buttons on the front. You're not overwhelmed with too many choices – just enough. It's a very thoughtfully designed machine that'll serve you well for years to come, and even easier to recommend at this price.
Smeg EGF03CRUK Coffee Machine: was £849.95 now £669.95 at Currys
Matt Bolton, Managing Editor for Entertainment, stopping in here to talk about a pair of headphones I reviewed. The Sony WH-CH720N are Sony's most affordable noise-cancelling headphones, and I found they give you the kind of extremely well-balanced sound we expect from Sony, in a light and comfortable that makes them easy to wear and enjoy for long listening sessions.
The noise cancellation obviously isn't up the level of the best Sony headphones that cost nearly three times as much, but it helps to clamp down on outside sounds to let your music shine through more. This isn't quite the cheapest that they've ever been – we've seen them for £65 – but it's still a very good price for this level of refined sound.
Sony WH-CH720N: was £89.99 now £69.99
How can the Google Pixel 8 Pro, a phone that we labelled the "best Pixel ever" only a year ago in our Pixel 8 Pro review, be available for less than £500? How is that possible?
I suppose the obvious answer is 'because the Pixel 9 Pro is out now', but that phone costs £899 from Currys (a saving of £100, admittedly) and though it is a better device, it's not £400 better.
I've owned the 8 Pro for a year, and love it. I love its camera, I love the way it looks, I love the way Android works on it, I love its AI touches. The fact that it's available for £499 is astonishing.
Google Pixel 8 Pro: was £799 now £499 at Currys
Wow! OK, so this is a seriously good deal. I've been thinking of getting a Steam Deck or Asus ROG Ally handheld for a while now, but have been put off by the price. But this Currys deal – also available at Amazon – brings it down to its lowest ever level of £399. That's a massive £200 off the standard price and is only £50 more than the cheapest model of the year-older Steam Deck.
For that price you get an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU, 512GB of storage, 7in screen with 120Hz resolution and up to 8hrs of battery. Time to dig out my wallet…

Hello, Global Editor-in-Chief Marc McLaren here to take over this Black Friday live blog for a little while.
It's not that long ago that OLED TVs were out of the reach of mere mortals such as me, but prices have dropped so steeply in the past couple of years that I may well buy my first one this Black Friday. Though actually, I may not need to wait that long – because this deal on the LG B4 at Currys is pretty tempting right now.
This set only came out this year, and as we state in our LG B4 review, it's "a great all-around TV and a more affordable option for OLED fans." Plus, it's available in a 48in model – which is essential for me, as that's the largest set I can fit in my front room. Currys has it for £799 right now, so already £100 off the RRP. I'm tempted…

I bought a Dyson vacuum more than 10 years ago and it's still going now – so while they're expensive beasts, you do get your money's worth.
The V10 Cyclone has been around for a while itself, having launched in 2018, but we recently updated our Dyson V10 Cyclone review to see how it holds up six years later and the upshot is that it's still a good model. "It offers powerful suction, even on the lowest of the three settings, and is well designed and easy to use," we said, before adding that "The real issue is that the V11 seems to be available for a similar price, and is slightly better in almost every way. That makes the V10 hard to recommend outright, unless you spot a major deal."
Well, here is that deal: Currys has taken the price down from £449 to £299, making it at least £50 cheaper than the V11, depending on where you buy it. Job done.

Making it into our best bluetooth speakers buying guide is no easy task, so any device that appears in it is worthy of your consideration. And if that device is also down to a record-low price ahead of Black Friday… well, then it almost demands to be bought.
That's the score with the JBL Flip 6 right now, which you can grab at Currys for £88.99. That's a £40 saving on the usual price, and matches a record low we've seen a couple of times before. Will it go lower still before Black Friday? Who knows. But what we can say is that we consider it the best mid-range Bluetooth speaker of them all, and love its rugged build, good sound and ability to pair with other JBL speakers. Plus, you can buy it in any of six colours. What's not to like?
JBL Flip 6: was £129 now £88.99 at Currys
Looking for a new smartwatch this Black Friday? You'll find plenty of options in the Currys sale, and one that's caught our eye is this offer on the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.
Currys' sale cuts the price to £269, which is a saving of £100 and which brings it down to only £5 more than its lowest-ever value, seen earlier this year.
We were impressed with the Watch 6 Classic when we tested it in 2023, awarding it 4.5 stars and stating in our Galaxy Watch 6 Classic review that "it'll be hard to find a better really-big WearOS smartwatch than this one." However, we thought the 47mm model was possibly too large, so recommended the 43mm version – which, as luck would have it, is the one on sale here.
Size and design apart, it's essentially the same as the standard Watch 6, which means you get lots of features including heartbeat, ECG, sleep and temperature tracking, a big AMOLED screen and more.

Black Friday is the ideal time to treat yourself to some new headphones, because the sales event typically sees the lowest prices all year on some of the best earbuds and over/on-ear models.
Case in point: the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless are now down to their lowest ever price of £199 at Currys (and also at Amazon). This is a pair of headphones we awarded a hallowed 5-star rating to in our Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless review, and though they're a couple of years old now, we updated our verdict this year to state that "their sound quality and, especially, battery life and smart features haven't been beaten yet for the price."
Momentum 4 Wireless headphones: was £309.99 now £199.99 at Currys
I wouldn't generally recommend a three-year old tablet, but Apple's 9th-gen iPad 10.2 has held up really well. Sure, it lacks the power of newer M-series iPads and has a slightly outdated design compared to even the 2022 iPad 10.9, but the Retina display – with True Tone tech – and the still-speedy A13 Bionic chip ensure it's still up to most tasks.
Most importantly, it's fantastic value these days. This Currys deal takes £20 off the usual price, and brings it to within £30 of its lowest ever price at any retailer. It may drop lower still as we near Black Friday, but equally it may sell out entirely, given that Apple no longer sells it at all.

There's perhaps no better phone you can buy right now than the Galaxy Z Fold 6 - if you like huge foldable devices, that is. Generally speaking, this is one pricey phone but today's Black Friday deal at Currys does get you a massive £300 discount if you're looking for an unlocked device. You can also hand over an old device for an additional £100 saving on top.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: was £1,699 now £1,499 at Currys
I have a confession to make - I'm hopelessly addicted to coffee. In fact, coffee is such a part of my morning ritual that I struggle to write recommendations such as these without a cup. Take it from someone in the know, then, that this is the coffee machine deal you should be checking out in the Curry's Black Friday sale.
At £350, the De'Longhi La Specialista is a pretty pricey buy but it's a premium machine that should last a good few years and produce superb results. Our De'Longhi La Specialista Arte EC9155MB review awarded this one four and a half stars out of five so it gets a glowing recommendation at this record-low price.
Another day, another superb deal on a stunning LG OLED TV. This time it's on the more budget-orientated B4 series model - which can be yours for as little as £800 in today's Black Friday sale at Currys. We would put 'entry-level' in quotation marks here as this is obviously still an amazing premium OLED display that's perfect for casual viewers and cinephiles alike. Alongside incredible contrast and deep blacks, the B4 is also capable of a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes it a great choice for gamers.

Currys is a great retailer all year round for gaming laptop deals so it's no surprise that the retailer has some superb high-end options in its Black Friday sale. Right now, one of my favourites is this MSI Stealth 16 AI Studio 16 on sale for £1,399 - a pricey buy, sure, but one that's worth every penny in my books.
Not only do you get a superb RTX 4070 graphics card in this machine, but it also comes packed with 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB SSD, and one of the latest Intel Ultra 7 155H chipsets. Crucially, MSI didn't skimp out on the display either as this machine has a blazingly quick Quad HD+ display that's capable of 240Hz refresh rates.

Price cut! The stunning LG C4 OLED TV has just received a further price cut in the Curry's Black Friday sale. This incredible set was already listed for a record-low price of £1,299 for its 55-inch variant but the retailer has just cut that down another £100 to just £1,199. Is it a pricey buy? Sure, but there aren't many TVs that can match the C4 at this price folks.

If you're on the hunt for a laptop for the bare essentials I'd highly recommend checking out Currys Black Friday deal on the Acer Chromebook Plus. It's not the cheapest machine you'll find in the sale today but the combination of a Core i3 processor and ChromeOS make this one a superb performer if you're looking for something that can handle simple word, email, or browsing tasks. With 9.5 hours battery life, this one is also a good choice if you're out and about a lot.

My favourite phone deal in the Curry's Black Friday sale? It's got to be the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE. This new mid-range device is only a few months old as of writing so it's impressive to see that the retailer is already offering a massive £150 price cut. As a brief overview, the Galaxy S24 FE isn't quite as high-end as the standard Galaxy S24 but it still has most of the brand new features - particularly the new AI software that the brand is so fond of. It's also pretty powerful too, although the standard Galaxy S24 still has the edge when it comes to cameras and overall design
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: was £649 now £499 at Currys
A few updates from me folks. Firstly, I've spotted another "don't buy this, buy this instead" listing in the Curry's Black Friday sale. The retailer currently has the popular Shark FlexStyle hair styler on sale for £219 but I've heard from our experts that it's also on sale for £199 at Amazon. The Currys listing has an additional attachment and a carrying case but the Amazon one is slightly cheaper and has the essentials that most people are looking for.
I've also added a superb laptop deal in the form of this ASUS Zenbook 14 for £849 (was £1,299). If you're looking for a cheap machine look away now but I think this is an outstanding price for a premium Windows laptop. Not only is this Zenbook 14 featuring the latest components but it also has a gorgeous 3K OLED display that's perfect for consuming all the latest media.
If I was looking for a gaming laptop for my own personal use I'd definitely go for this Gigabyte G6 in the Currys Black Friday sale. At £899, it's not the cheapest gaming laptop on the market right now but I think it's one of the better value choices if you can afford it. Not only do you get a decent RTX 4060 graphics card with this one, but it also features an i7-13620H chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
With specs like these, you can expect great out-the-box performance here without the need for any glaring upgrades. While it may struggle to play some games at 1440p it should easily max-out the graphical settings on most games on its native 1080p display. Recommended!

I've just added a fresh batch of deals to my recommended list of Curry's Black Friday deals just above! They're all on highly-rated products here at TechRadar so you can't go wrong with any of these deals.
As a brief overview, the new additions are the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer for £279.99, the De'Longhi EC9155.MB espresso machine for £349, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE for £499, and the Asus Vivobook 16 laptop for £599.
If you've been eying up the excellent MacBook Air M3 in the Curry's Black Friday sale, my advice is don't buy it! It's true that this incredible laptop is on sale for £949 at Currys today but you can pick it up for £919 over at Amazon, which is the lowest price I've seen so far for this one in the UK. In my books, might as well save yourself £30 and pick it up at Curry's rival retailer!
Morning, folks - we'll be picking up coverage of the Curry's Black Friday sale for another day so stay tuned for even more recommendations from our team of experts here at TechRadar.
Looking for a pair of cheap (but good) headphones? I'd say you can do a whole lot worse than the JBL Tune 770NC. These cans are on sale for just under £50 today in the Curry's Black Friday sale and are quite possibly the best value options in the UK right now. Sure, they lack the pizzazz of more well-known brands like Bose or Sony, but the Tune 770NC have pretty damn good noise cancellation for the price and a battery life that leaves many (including way pricier) options in the dust.
JBL Tune 770NC wireless headphones: was £119 now £49.99 at Currys
Hey folks, just added a few more deals to my above recommendations. The first one is this Ninja AF300UK 7.6L air fryer for £119 and the second is this Shark Stratos cordless vacuum for £299.99. Both of these models are highly, highly rated here at TechRadar so they come with a hefty recommendation - even if they aren't super cheap when compared to other models!
If you asked me "Which cheap tablet should I buy in the Currys Black Friday sale?" I'd say to you - check out the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9. It's a cheaper model but it's still a cut above the super-cheap Amazon Fire tablets that you often find on sale at Amazon. You'll get better build quality, a decent 8.7-inch screen, and Android 13 right out of the box. Generally speaking, it's a good buy if you just want something solid to cover the basics with good app support.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9: was £169 now £129 at Currys
The best cordless vacuums are all the rage right now - everyone loves cutting the cord when it comes to getting to those hard-to-reach places. Hear me out, however, when I tell you that one of the best deals in the Curry's Black Friday sale is on a slightly cheaper corded model.
Right now you can get the Shark HZ500UK for a record-low price at Currys and this model comes with a personal recommendation from one of our staff members who called it "one of the best things I've ever bought". It's a basic model, yes, but corded vacs tend to have stronger suction overall and this one also comes with the extremely handy anti-hair technology and the Shark 'Flexology' design for those tricky spots.
Shark HZ500UK Corded Vacuum Cleaner: was £179 now £139 at Currys
If I had to pick a cheap laptop for my own use in the Currys Black Friday sale I'd go for this Lenovo Yoga Slim 6. OK, so it's not the most high-end machine on the market but I think it's one that makes perfect sense at the £500 that the retailer is currently listing.
For example, not only does it have a nicely slim-line design and 2.2k display, but you also get a 13th gen Intel Core i5 and a 512GB SSD. These are decent specs for every-day use and should set you up a little better than with the super-basic machines that you find for under £300. All-in-all, a good laptop that's only held back by the small(ish) 8GB of RAM.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 6: was £799 now £499 at Currys
It's hard to pick a starting place for my deal spotlights today since there are so many excellent Curry's Black Friday deals available. So, let's start with an old favorite - the stunning LG C4 OLED.
OK, so we're massive fans of LG's C-Series OLEDs here at TechRadar. They've sat at the top, or close to, our best TVs buyer's guide for many, many years now since they're one of the best choices if you're looking for a high-end TV but don't want to go too crazy when blowing the budget.
The C4 in particular melds a superb OLED panel with support for 144Hz refresh rate, which is perfect for next-gen gaming. Ideally we would have loved to have seen support for HDR10+ but this model was good enough to warrant a four-and-a-half-star rating on our LG C4 OLED TV review.

Welcome to today's rolling coverage of the outstanding Curry's Black Friday sale! I'll have expert recommendations on everything from the latest big-screen TVs to laptops on this page - a couple of which you can already check out just above.
As a brief overview, Currys is one of the first retailers in the UK to 'officially' launch its Black Friday sale this week, which means there's no need to wait if you're looking to shop early. Will the prices go any lower? That's hard to say as we're still waiting for some big names - particularly Amazon - to launch their sales also.
Note, however, that Currys does offer a 7-day price match guarantee so you're somewhat protected if these deals get any better. Most of these early Black Friday deals at Currys are record-low prices, however, so it's hard to imagine that they'd go any lower.
