John Lewis best Black Friday tech deals: Experts pick retailer's best offers

JL is matching the same deal as Amazon, offering the 8in Fire HD with a mega 60% off. An ideal entry-level tablet for streaming, browsing and basic apps. While Amazon's tablet runs on Google's Android, there's a layer over the top which prevents access to the full Google Play library – as such, you're somewhat restricted to what's accessible.

Samsung's tablet deal is one of its best Black Friday discounts – cutting nearly a third from the RRP. This is the Wi-Fi-only version of this tablet, with 128GB storage, making it ideal for indoor use for all the family. Running things is Samsung's own Exynos processor, so it's plenty powerful – and it also comes with an S Pen stylus to add versatility to its repertoire.

You see them everywhere for good reason – Apple's basic AirPods are great in-ear headphones, offering easy connectivity and great sound. There's no active noise-cancelling (ANC), though, so if you want that then you'll need to pay more.

Google's best promotion for Black Friday is on its current flagship phone, with John Lewis also getting in on the action. With top-level performance and all the latest Android AI software features, this 6.3-inch handset is well worth your consideration – especially at this lower price.

You won't get a much better deal on a folding phone this year – Motorola's super slick Razr 60 Ultra looks like a bit of a steal at this price. Its lovely clamshell design includes an all-screen outer face that other brands have since copied (with good reason).

This might not be the latest MacBook Air, but it'll last for years and has more than enough power for the vast majority of users. Getting it for this little – and brand new – is a great little deal, if you're able to grab it while it lasts.

John Lewis weirdly isn't listing the savings on its site, but this actually is a 5% discount on the default bundle for the Switch 2, which isn't to be sniffed at. It's price-matched from a whole bunch of other retailers and is unlikely to go lower this Black Friday.

This is the TV I'd recommend to the vast majority of people in the market for a new display, and it's got a pretty huge discount right now. It's only on the 65-inch version, though, which is a factor to consider for sure!

The step below the C5 model, the B5 isn't quite as bright – but it's a lot more affordable. The stunning 4K picture quality doesn't negate any of OLED's benefits – perfect contrast and no light halo around subjects. And in its 48-inch form it's one of those rare smaller-scale OLED panels with all the latest features.

This is one of Panasonic's finest new TVs, with a Dolby Atmos soundbar built right into its frame, along with its stunning OLED picture quality. It's a five-star TV for us, and any discount is worth considering.
