Regularly $200, you’re looking at a solid $50 price drop on the most affordable current-generation Samsung Galaxy handset here. This model has only ever gone for less than this once since it release, and that was a brief offer down at $143 during the summer Prime Day sale roughly 4 months ago.

The A16 also comes with a 50MP rear camera alongside the 5MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro sensors, as well as a 13MP selfie camera. The IP54 rating protects it from the odd splash and is also a nice little bonus for a sub $200 handset.

Walmart 2025 Black Friday sale delivers up to $800 off RTX 50-series gaming laptops and desktops, deals from $207
Walmart has kicked off its 2025 Black Friday sale, offering huge markdowns on Apple gear, LEGO, TVs, toys, and more. The retailer has also rolled out some solid deals on gaming laptops and desktops powered by RTX 50-series GPUs. As part of its early Black Friday sale, you can cash in and score savings of up to $800 on some powerful machines that are now starting as low as $207. We’ve rounded up some of the top picks from the sale below, so be sure to check them out while they last.
Walmart’s early Black Friday deals on gaming laptops
A huge selection of gaming laptops and desktops is on sale right now at Walmart, and one of the more notable deals of the lot gets you Alienware’s latest Aurora 16 gaming laptop for $799 shipped. That’s a straight-up $450 discount on a notebook that typically goes for $1,250. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this gaming laptop, and it’s now fetching $100 less than its previous all-time low and our mention from a couple of months back. It’s the most affordable Aurora 16 Alienware gaming laptop equipped with an RTX 50-series GPU, running on Intel’s Lunar Lake Core 7 240H processor with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. It should be able to handle pretty much all modern games without a hitch, making it a good option to consider if you’re looking to pick up a new notebook this Black Friday. You also get a 16-inch 120Hz display, an RGB backlit full-sized keyboard, and more as some of its standout features.
The perfect gaming TV deal? LG’s 2025 model 48-inch B5 OLED w/ VRR at $550 (Reg. $1,300)
Best Buy unleashed its third batch of Black Friday 2025 Doorbuster deals today with an assortment of brand new discounts (you’ll find the highlight offers detailed below), but we wanted to shine a light on its deal for the LG 48-inch Class B5 Series OLED AI 4K UHD Smart TV at $550 too – this is one of the best bang for your buck OLED smart TVs with VRR support out there.
Best Buy is now offering the 2025 model LG 48-inch Class B5 Series OLED AI 4K UHD Smart webOS TV down at $549.99 shipped. This model carries a list price at $1,300 via Best Buy and is now $750 off. While we did see this one as part of the early Best Buy Doorbuster offers back on October 31 for a few days at $530, today’s deal lands within $20 of that particularly notable deal for the lowest price out there.
Both the official LG siteand Amazon do not carry the 48-inch model – this one is a Best Buy exclusive and the most affordable model in the lineup. It also makes for a particularly sweet bedroom gaming TV or really just anywhere you might not need a larger form-factor, complete with a 120Hz refresh rate, G-SYNC (NVIDIA Adaptive Sync), FreeSync (AMD Adaptive Sync), and Variable Refresh Rate tech. On top of that you’ll find four HDMI 2.1 inputs joined by some built-in Amazon Alexa voice command action (also works with Google Assistant gear), Apple AirPlay 2, and Google Cast tech.
If you are looking for a larger size, be sure to explore the official LG holiday sale – it is offering loads of notable cash discounts across just about every 2025 smart TV it carries – while Amazon and Best Buy are matching these prices for the most part, LG is throwing in a “FREE professional wall mounting or stand set up, plus free matching TV wall mount” on most models right now.
Early Black Friday deal knocks Bose QuietComfort Earbuds back to $129 Amazon low
While we are still tracking a new Black Friday all-time low on the new 2025 flagship Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) at $250 (the best price ever), the base model Bose QuietComfort Earbuds have also now dropped back to the Amazon low. A notable option for folks who just don’t need the high-end set, you can land these at over $120 less.
Amazon is now offering the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds down at $129 shipped in four different colorways. The official Bose site is also offering this same deal with a few extra color options at the ready.
Regularly $179, this is a straight up $50 price drop and on par with the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon this year. These buds only really ever drop much lower than $149 during special sale events – Black Friday 2024, the Prime Day sales, this sort of thing – and that’s exactly what we are getting here today in the early Black Friday bonanza. This is matching the best price drops we have tracked on Amazon all-time low.
The new 2nd Gen Ultra buds are clearly a better and higher-end set of of in-ear listening devices – there’s a reason they carry a $299 list price. But for folks just looking for solid pair of wireless buds without reaching that deep into their pockets, the standard issue option we have on sale here today is among the best in the price range if you ask me, and still deliver the world-class active noise cancellation and lauded Bose audio reproduction.
Today’s accessories and charging deals:
Google TV Streamer 4K is sitting down at the early Black Friday all-time low via Amazon (25% off)
Some of the more notable early Black Friday deals we have seen this year so far came from the Google ecosystem. While much of those offers have come and gone now, Amazon is still holding on to the Google TV Streamer 4K all-time low we previously featured at 25% off the list price.
While this deal looked as though was also on the way out, and it might very well be at some point here, Amazon just dropped the Porcelain Google TV Streamer 4K model back down to the $74.99 shipped all-time low. As mentioned above, this is 25% off the going rate and the lowest price we have tracked from any major retailer – it is now back at full price via Best Buy, for the record.
We will be keeping an eye on the gray Hazel model, but has now jumped back to the full $100 price point now.
Google updated its TV streamer offering in late 2024 with the model featured here. It lands with an updated set-top box design, complete with an upgraded remote so you can “use your voice to find shows, get answers, and control smart home devices; the customizable button lets you open your favorite app or the home panel in one click; and easily find your lost remote by making it ring.”
Watch live TV and access over 800 free channels from Pluto TV, Tubi, and more; if you find an interesting show or movie on your TV, mobile app, or Google search, you can easily add it to your watchlist, so it’s ready when you are
It also boasts a 22% faster processor and twice the memory of the previous generation with a 32GB of storage capacity alongside the namesake 4K resolutions and support for Dolby Atmos audio and Dolby Vision.
