The Pixel 6A was already a good deal before the price was reduced. It is still a great deal, even though it has dipped this low before. It has all the software smarts that make the regularPixel 6 and 6 Pro so smooth. You can still take stunning shots with this phone, but you have to use the older camera sensors. You don't get wireless charging, but this is a great phone for the money.
The WIRED recommends the Pixel 7 Pro because it has everything you need in a phone. There is an enormous AMOLED screen with a high refresh rate and a superb camera system that can do it all. Solid battery life, wireless charging, and face unlock are some of the benefits of the 7 pro.
The 7 Pro is so compelling in a smaller package that WIRED recommends it. Most people won't notice the difference, as it still snaps great pics, but the screen and battery are smaller and you miss out on the latest camera improvements. It's an absolute steal since we thought it was very competitive.
There is a futuristic feel to the fourth-gen folding phones, but the technology is more refined, and they are more durable than their predecessors. The SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD4 is packed with software tricks to make the most of the extra screen real estate. The phone will turn heads even though it is expensive. If you have a phone, you can possibly get a better deal.
The flip4 has a snazzy style all of its own. It's like a regular phone but folded in half it's easy to carry around. There's plenty of processing power and a bright screen. The folding portfolio has been made more durable.
The SAMSUNG GALAXY S22 range is excellent. It is possible that the S22 Plus is the right option. It has a bright screen, strong speakers, and a camera system. It is fast and has enough strength to get you through busy days.
AmazonTarget ($900)Best Buy ($900)Our favorite phone is this one. It's a productivity powerhouse that takes the place of the old Note series, and it comes with a stylus. It's as fast as a phone can be, with a beautiful display and long- lasting battery. One of the most versatile camera systems on the market is on this phone.
We like the A53 5G because it has a lovely, big screen with a high refresh rate, decent camera, and good performance, but it doesn't have 5G support or any of the other bells and whistles. There's no wireless charging or a brick in the box, and the camera is not particularly good. This is a good deal, but it has been around this price for a long time.
When it arrived, we thought the S21 FE was not worth the full price. It's the first time we've seen it drop this low, and it's still a smooth phone with plenty of battery life.
The flagship phone of the year was the one from the self-proclaimedflagship killer. It's an accomplished phone with a big, bright screen, solid battery life, fast-charging capability, and OxygenOS on top of theANDROID 12 The cameras aren't as good as we'd like, and there's no 5G service, but this is a good alternative if you don't want to pay for a phone from a big company.
This phone was the pick for the best under $200 phone in our guide, but it wasn't as good as it first appeared. One of the cheapest phones with a big screen is the Moto G Stylus, which has a decent battery life and a stylus. You have to make compromises at this price point because it doesn't have 5G or a good camera.
For this year's Black Friday weekend, Apple is giving away $50 Apple gift cards with certain purchases. The iPhone SE is one of the most powerful small phones around and is as cheap as an Apple phone. The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini are still solid, even though they are last year's models.
The small but mighty Asus Zenfone 9 has great battery life and a smooth 120-hertz screen. It has a jack for a headphones. This is our favorite small phone because it doesn't have a wireless charging option.

There are more choices in our guides to the Best Tablets, Best iPad, and Best Amazon Fire Tablets.
The best tablets for most people are this one. The Apple iPad is easy to use, has a nice True Tone display, and even has a headphone jack. The upgraded front-facing camera makes for better selfies and video calls. If you don't need enough storage, go for the 128 gigabyte model for $420, which is $60 off.
Apple's smallest slate is calling your name if you want to be portable. Powerful things can come in small packages. The 8.3-inch display is easy to use with one hand. The A15 processor and support for the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil are included in the price of this iPad.
The fifth generation iPad Pro has a great MiniLED display and plenty of power for most people. Unless you really need the M2 chip and Apple Pencil hover feature in the sixth- generation iPad Pro, we recommend saving your money. A camera that follows your face can be used for better video calls.
The Fire HD 10 is our favorite Amazon slate and it's under $200. If you want to kick back and watch a movie or browse the web on something bigger than your phone, this tablet is for you.
It has up to 12 hours of battery life and works well for online shopping.
When it's discounted, the Fire HD 8 is a great deal. The previous model is very similar to this year's version. If you don't care about speed, the Fire HD 8 is on sale for less than $50. You can get the Fire HD 8 Plus (2022) for $65 off.
This is a large-screen device. The FE is a good choice for watching movies because of its large screen and great speakers. The DeX mode, which is a desktop-style experience for when you're feeling productive, is supported by the tablet. The 128-gigabyte model increases the RAM to 6 gigabytes but costs $420, which is 80 percent off the regular price.

The Apple Watch Series 8 is one of the best watches on the market today. With Apple's distinctive rectangular face, slick app support, and reliable fitness and sleep tracking, this is a smartwatch that's very easy to use. The battery life of the new temperature sensor is better than it was last year.
The Apple Watch Ultra is a good choice for people who like to be outdoors. It's bigger than the regular Apple Watch, which means longer battery life, and it also has features like dual-band precisionGPS tracking.
Because the Series 8 was a relatively minor upgrade, you can enjoy the same experience and save money by opting for the Series 7. It has a large display of health, fitness, and sleep tracking. Crash detection and skin temperature sensor are not included in the Series 7 compared to the Series 8.
The second-gen Apple Watch is only getting a small discount. It's a bit less durable than the Series 8, but it's still a very good watch. Don't buy the first-generation Apple Watch SE if you want to save money.
The SAMSUNG GALAXY WATCH5 is an elegant, comfortable, anddurable timepiece that offers accurate sleep and fitness tracking. If you want the 44-mm case, it will cost you $30 more. That's another $30 if you want to use the internet on the go. The watch has slightly better battery life, is a little harder, and has GPX support.
It's still worth a place on your wrist, even if it's discounted for BlackFriday. There's a bright, round screen with a smooth performance. The battery life is a weakness, especially with the smaller cases.
The Classic version of the watch has the same features, but it has a more traditional look and feel.
The good-looking, comfortable to wear, and benefits of a fitness tracker are some of the things that the long-awaited Google Pixel watch has to offer. The screen is small, the battery life is limited, and it doesn't have a lot of features compared to other watches.

This is our favorite wireless charging device. The charging pad is made from recycled silicone and can charge phones at up to 15 watt. A 20- watt wall charging device is being thrown in.
It's a pity that the 3-in-1 stand isn't on sale, as it's our favorite charging station for Apple fans. The 2-in-1 stand is good if you only have an Apple product. It looks stylish, holds your MagSafe in portrait or landscape orientation, and can charge up to 15 watt.
If you don't have a computer in your car, this dual charging unit from Belkin will do the trick. It slots into your car's sockets and has a port that can be used for fast-charging your phone at up to 25 watt. The port that goes up to 12 watt for a second device is also included in the package.
This is the best charging stand for older phones that don't have Magsafe. The Apple Watch can take advantage of Nightstand mode and the center stand allows you to place your phone vertically or horizontally. It is possible for the cases to slide off.
This is our favorite portable charging station because of it's small size and ability to charge quickly. It supports Power Delivery and Quick Charge 4 and can be charged quickly.
The cable is made from recycled plastic and aluminum. It can deliver up to 60 watt.
You can use the official MagSafe charge from Apple to charge your phone at 15 watt. It's only 1 meter long, but it has an integratedusb-c cable. You will need to provide your own power source.
The Sonix range of cases are more interesting than the rest. These are not a case of style over substance. The buttons are satisfying to press and they offer good screen protection with raised edges.
The Symmetry range is a little smaller than the Defenders series, but it still has the same level of protection. The buttons feel satisfying to push and there are raised edges on the phone.
The OtterBox brand has some of the toughest and most reliable phone cases. There is a 25 percent discount on everything for Black Friday. Cross-checking on Amazon and other places is recommended because of the high prices on OtterBox gear.

The Totallee cases are some of the lightest out there. It won't protect your phone from damage if you drop it, but it will protect it from everyday damage. It won't change the look of your phone. It can be used for a variety of models.
The combo touch from Logitech is our pick for the best iPad keyboard case. It's finished in a beautiful fabric, it's slim, and it's available in a variety of colors.
If you slap these keyboard covers on, you'll be good to go. They don't need to pair or charge because they use Apple's Smart Connection. They're some of the slimmest keyboard covers you'll find, and almost silent, but you might miss the springy feedback from better keyboards.
It's a good idea to slip a tracker on a key ring or bag to make sure you don't misplace it. It's water resistant, you can check the location in the app, and it has a 250 foot range.
One of Apple's Air tags can be used to track bags, TV remotes, or keys. AirTags are expensive even though they are easy to use.
This band completely changes the look of your Apple Watch, comes in a wide variety of colors, and is very comfortable to wear. It's cheaper than usual and there are discounts on different colors and sizes.
The first thing I pack when I travel is a travel accessory. It allows you to plug into a wall outlet in more than 200 countries and has four ports for charging your gadgets at the same time.
The GameSir is one of our favorite mobile controllers, it slots into the port on your phone and stretches to hold it.
