The holiday sales have officially begun. This year, Best Buy is running six holiday sales, starting on Halloween and running through Christmas. Early (well, very early) Black Friday deals are already live, and every Friday, Best Buy releases new Doorbuster deals—and they’re seriously good. Here are the best ones I found.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Black Friday Sale
Android users are likely already familiar with the Galaxy S25 , which was released this year. It’s the best Android phone , but it’s pricey. However, it’s available for $899.99 (originally $1,299.99) with a $400 discount. This is a record low price for the best Android phone you can buy right now.
Black Friday Deals on OLED and QLED TVs
TCL has been surprising me with its pricing in recent years. The new QM5K QLED just came out this year, and the massive 75-inch TV is already 50% off, costing $599.99 (originally $1,199.99) after a $600 discount.
If you value quality over size, the 65-inch LG G5 is now at its best price since its launch. It’s available for $1,999.99 (original price: $3,399.99), a $1,400 discount. It’s the best OLED TV of 2025 at the best price.
For those who still want OLED but have a smaller budget, the Samsung Class S84F 65-inch OLED is priced at $899.99 (original price $1999.99) – an incredible price for a 65-inch OLED TV.
Black Friday: Bose Headphones Deals
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are perfect for those who prefer mindfulness over isolation. Instead of isolating you from the world, they fit outside your ears , allowing ambient sound to pass through while maintaining rich, detailed audio. Priced at $199 (down from $299), they’re their lowest price yet.
But not everyone is a fan of open-back headphones. There’s also the flagship Bose QuietComfort Ultra over-ear headphones, which are now priced at $329 (originally $429).
Laptops at great prices on Black Friday
For PC enthusiasts looking for mid-range laptops at budget prices, there are several excellent options. The 15.6-inch Lenovo Ideapad with an Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD is on sale for $399.99 (original price: $699.99), a great price for such a device.
If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option without sacrificing too much in terms of specs, I recommend the ASUS Vivobook 14 with an Intel Core i5 processor and 12GB of memory with a 256GB SSD for $299.99 (originally $599.99).
