If you want your next purchase from phone deals to be powered by Android, we highly recommend the OnePlus 12, especially now that you can get it with a discount through a direct purchase from OnePlus. The version with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is currently priced the same as the version with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage at $800, for savings of $100 on its original price of $900. The offer may end at any moment though, so if you want this Android phone, you should complete your purchase quickly in order to pocket the savings.

Why you should buy the OnePlus 12

We tagged the OnePlus 12 as the best Android phone in our list of the best smartphones for lots of reasons, starting with how it beats its predecessor in every way, as we highlighted in our OnePlus 12 versus OnePlus 11 comparison. With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it will never lack in performance, and with a 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED display that has a 120Hz refresh rate and support for both Dolby Vision and HDR10+, the screen will always be a dream to look at. The smartphone also packs an impressive Hasselblad camera system that includes a 50MP main camera, a 64MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a 48MP ultrawide camera with a 114-degree field of view at the back, and a 32MP selfie camera at the front.

One of the biggest advantages of the OnePlus 12 versus Samsung and Apple is its fun design and eye-catching colors, making it stand out among other phones that look like glass slabs. Our OnePlus 12 versus Google Pixel 8 Pro comparison also determines various advantages over Google’s flagship device, including exceptional hardware, superfast charging speeds, and staggering performance. Throwing in the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, which are wireless earbuds that are worth $180, and the OnePlus Adventure Backpack worth $70, the OnePlus 12 is certainly a must-buy.

It’s technically a free upgrade from OnePlus for the OnePlus 12, as the price of the version with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage has been slashed with a $100 discount from $900 to $800, which is also what the version with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is going for. The free gifts of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 and the OnePlus Adventure Backpack are huge bonuses for this purchase, which you should be making very soon if you want to make sure that you don’t miss out on this amazing offer for the OnePlus 12.

Don’t miss the chance to get this 128GB SD card for less than $100

Your new purchase from camera deals will need storage for photos and videos, but you can't buy just any SD card that you see online. It's highly recommended that you invest in a high-quality storage device like the Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card, which you can currently get from B&H Photo Video with a $75 discount on its 128GB version that brings its price down from $170 originally to a more affordable $95. You may want to buy multiples of this SD card while it's available for less than $100, but you'll have to hurry because we're not sure how much time is remaining on this bargain.

Why you should buy the Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card
More devices are using microSD cards for expanded storage, but according to our guide on finding the right memory card for your digital camera, most DSLR cameras and mirrorless cameras are still using SD cards like the Lexar Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card. Lexar is one of the brands that we wouldn't hesitate to recommend to photographers, and this SD card's read speed of 300 MB/s and write speed of 260 MB/s will enable quick transfers and smooth shooting. Additionally, as an UHS-II card, you won't have a problem with advanced functions such as continuous shutter bursts, rapid shooting, and raw and JPEG captures.

All of Apple's smartwatch models are what we would consider to be a great buy, including the Apple Watch Ultra 2. It probably won't come as a huge shock, but Amazon has discounted the Apple Watch Ultra 2 as part of a Cyber Monday deal. It means you can buy the 49mm GPS + Cellular model for $80 off right now. That brings it down to $719 from $799. While that isn't a cheap deal by any means, it's rare to get such a discount on one of Apple's best products. We can't say how long it'll stay at this price. It seems likely the deal will end soon. So, let's take a quick look at what it offers before you decide to buy. If you're looking for the best Cyber Monday smartwatch deals, this is certainly one of the mainstays.

 
Why you should shop this Apple Watch Ultra 2 deal at Amazon
We tagged the Apple Watch Ultra 2 as the best premium smartwatch for the iPhone in our list of the best smartwatches, and at first glance, it's obvious why. The 49mm titanium case and Always-On OLED touchscreen will catch anybody's attention. The size and brightness, alone stand out. Meanwhile, the interface is very fast and fluid because it's powered by Apple's new S9 chipset.

I found the best folding phone deal for Cyber Monday, and it’s not even close
OnePlus Open in Emerald Dusk held in hand.

Folding phones have come a long way in a very short time. In 2024, there are numerous foldables to choose from, many of which are really darn good. Unfortunately, a lot of them are still very expensive — making them out of reach for most people. Thankfully, that's changed (at least temporarily) with a Black Friday discount on the OnePlus Open.

Launched in October 2023, the OnePlus Open isn't the newest folding phone on the market today, but it remains one of the best. We happily recommend it at its normal retail price of $1,700, but for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it can be yours for just $1,200 — a very healthy savings of $500.
