Black Friday has become one of the main discount shopping events of the year in the UK and though the big day itself isn’t until 29 November, many retailers are indulging in early sales. One of the best places to shop for the latest tech gadgets is Currys, and there are already plenty of Black Friday discounts on offer from the familiar high street brand.

Just because an item is discounted it doesn’t mean it’s a good deal, which is why Express.co.uk has combed through Currys’ Black Friday offers to see which are worth your consideration. Here are the five deals we think are worth a look if you’ve been thinking about picking up some new tech.

If you’re after an affordable new Android phone then the Galaxy A35 should fit the bill. Samsung’s smartphones are well made and reliable, and at £100 off this one offers great value for money with triple cameras, 6.6-inch OLED screen, a large 5,000mAh battery and Android 14 software out the box.

You also get 128GB storage, 5G, face recognition and a fingerprint scanner plus IP67 dust and water resistance to keep you covered if the phone takes an accidental dip.

With four years of software updates and five years of security patches, you’ll also have an up to date phone until Match 2029.

If your budget runs a little higher and you want the very latest Samsung Galaxy S24 phone, then this could be the phone for you. The Galaxy S24 FE only launched in October but Currys has it for £499, £150 off. The phone offers improved cameras and build quality over the A35, plus a slightly larger display.

You’ll also get more Galaxy AI features, such as Circle to Search that lets you Google search anything on your screen, and the ability to edit photos to remove unwanted objects. It’ll even help you rewrite your texts and emails in different manners, and can summarise big blocks of text or voice recordings into bullet points.

There’s also a full seven years of software support, so with a bit of TLC and probably a battery change in a few years, this phone could possibly last you into the 2030s.

You brush your teeth at least twice a day (we hope), but you might not have put much thought into your toothbrush recently. This is a huge saving on a brush from one of the best brands in the business, with a whopping £104 off the RRP.

The Oral B iO 3 has a smart pressure sensor that flashes red when you’re brushing too hard, white when too soft and green when you’re spot on. The round brush is ideal to get to hard-to-reach spots and there are three brushing modes plus a timer to make sure you spend enough time at the sink.

Replacement brush heads are easy to find for this popular brush, and with a charging dock included this should keep your teeth clean for years to come.

NOW £849 – SAVE £450

Though this laptop will still set you back £849 in the sale, if you want one of the best Windows 11 laptops going then it’s a sound investment. With an RRP of £1,299, it represents a huge £450 saving.

We reviewed this laptop, awarding it four-and-a-half stars out of five. It has superb performance thanks to the Intel Core Ultra 7 chip, a huge 1TB storage, and a perfectly sized 14-inch 3K OLED screen. Battery will last you just about right hours away from a plug, and the design is thin enough to carry around without needing a trip to the osteopath.

We also like that it has tons of ports despite its thin size, making it a great MacBook alternative if you prefer Windows machines.

NOW £229 – SAVE £200

TVs can often get far too expensive but if you need an affordable good quality screen for your living room then this 43-inch LED telly from Hisense is worth considering. It’s down to £229 from £429 and boasts 4K resolution so you can enjoy all your shows and films in high resolution.

Best of all, this TV has Freely built in. That’s the new service from the people who make Freeview, which offers free-to-air TV services over an internet connection. That means you can get Freely, which is basically Freeview, without the need for a set top box or satellite dish. As Freely will tell you, “all you need is Wi-Fi”. There’s no contract involved.

You also get two HDMI ports and HDR tech, so you can plug in a DVD player or home games console and expect things to look pin-sharp.

There will be plenty more deals between now and Black Friday itself, and there are many more already live today, so head over to the Currys website and see if you can bag yourself a bargain. Of course, do think twice before taking the plunge on a big ticket tech item – it’s only truly a great deal if you were thinking of buying it anyway, or if there really is a huge chunk of cash to be saved.
