Even though Amazon technically plans to kick off an undoubtedly epic sitewide Black Friday Week sale this Thursday, November 20, a bunch of very hard-to-beat holiday deals on a bunch of super-popular mobile tech products have surprisingly gone live yesterday.
Even more surprisingly, a couple of these have been improved today, making it even harder to wait until Thursday for a lot of bargain hunters this holiday season. The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, for instance, looked pretty much irresistible yesterday at an unprecedented $352 discount, somehow going another full Benjamin below its list price in a 512GB storage variant today.

As insane as it may sound, you can really save a whopping 452 bucks if you hurry… and don’t have a problem opting for a Platinum Silver colorway. The Moonstone Gray flavor is significantly costlier after a much humbler markdown, and incredibly enough, the Tab S10+ is more expensive right now with 256 gigs of local digital hoarding room.
Of course, even after that $452 discount from a typically extravagant $1,119.99 list price, the 512GB Galaxy Tab S10 Plus can’t exactly be considered a conventional bargain, naturally still costing a lot more than mid-rangers like the Galaxy Tab S10 FE or Tab S10 Lite.

That’s a battle that the Galaxy Tab S10+ can currently win with ease in terms of value for money, especially with no Galaxy Tab S11+ model released this year and the Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra naturally available at considerably smaller discounts this Black Friday… season.
Now, should you expect the Tab S10 Plus to receive an even deeper price cut when Amazon’s (or Samsung’s) “true” Black Friday sales events are actually underway? These last 24 hours have certainly reminded me that anything is possible in war, love, and holiday savings, but I’d still be shocked to see such an undeniably great (and not-that-old) tablet go more than $452 under its regular price before Christmas. Truly and utterly shocked.
Apple Watch Series 9 (45mm)

The Apple Watch Series 9 is powered by the same processor as the newest Series 11 and, by extension, supports all the new features introduced with watchOS 26. Last chance to get a Product RED Apple Watch, as Apple has stopped making those for the time being!
