It’s the season to be jolly, at least as far as your bank account will let you. Black Friday deals are already in the wild before November 28. I’ve added an embarrassing number of things to my cart, and Amazon isn’t helping my self-control at all.
If you’ve been thinking of upgrading your phone or tablet, it's your moment. If you blink, someone else will grab them first. Get to them before they do.
Google Pixel 9a
The Pixel 9a is among the few phones under $400 that gives you Google's flagship-level camera and seven years of updates. This 128GB model with 8GB RAM uses the Tensor G4 chip.
The battery comfortably sits over 30 hours and IP68 water and dust resistance rating. This deal may not come back for months as Pixels rarely get huge price slashes.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11
This year’s massive Android tablet upgrade is also getting a massive price reduction. The Galaxy Tab S11 just launched this September, and it's been Samsung’s most practical tablet release.
It's thin, fast, durable, and finally powerful enough to replace a light laptop if you pair it with a keyboard. It comes with an 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, a 3nm MediaTek Dimensity processor, IP68 durability, and an S Pen included in the box.

Anker Prime 100W 3-Port USB-C charger
A phone or tablet is powerless without its charger. Literally. Anker's 100W GaN charger is what you need for your devices. It carries three ports that eliminate having three different bricks: Two USB-C ports and a USB-A port each supporting 100W when used alone. Power splits smartly when charging simultaneously.
The weight is quite dense, but it's nothing compared to a charger that's slower or has wobbly plugs. Cables aren't included but you can steal this USB-C to USB-C cable for $12.99 extra instead of $15.99.

A pool is a beautiful thing to have, but cleaning one is exhausting. It doesn't have to be. The AquaSense 2 Ultra has arrived just in time to make your life easier. The 5-in-1 pool robot scrubs the floor, climbs walls, polishes the waterline, skims the surface, and clarifies the water automatically with a natural crab-shell agent.
You don't need chemicals. It's also integrated with an AI camera and a 27-sensor mapping system that learns your pool layout to avoid obstacles. It's $860 off in this limited time sales.

You can pair it with manual methods while you plan for a better option. It's fully cordless and automatic with a 24/7 runtime, thanks to its solar charging technology and strong battery power.

Shop smarter and quicker
Don’t sleep on these lightning deals, but don’t panic-buy items either. Take your time to check if the same product has a different color or storage size on sale. Amazon may have discounted multiple variants. If you're unsure whether a product is actually good, go straight to the 1-star reviews.
It sounds backwards, but bad reviews tend to reveal deal-breakers faster than 500 comments of praise. In a rush, you only need to know the worst that can go wrong and how tolerable it is. A product that catches fire is worse than one whose biggest fault is ugly packaging.
