Singles Day has come and gone (although some sales live on). But Black Friday is just under two weeks away.
Best Buy, Walmart, HP, and Samsung have revealed some of their sale prices over the past few days, and I’m continually updating Liliputing’s Black Friday mobile tech deals page with the latest bargains.
There are still a few major device makers and retailers that haven’t made any announcements yet — we don’t know what, if anything, Apple will be doing for Black Friday or Cyber Monday this year. And I have a friend in desperate need of a new phone who’s still waiting for the right deal on an unlocked Google Pixel 2 or Pixel 3.

Here’s a roundup of recent tech news (and deals) from around the web.
- Black Friday 2018 mobile tech deals (Liliputing)

Very strange article. I cannot tell what your focus or goal even *was* for this post. Whatever you were trying to accomplish here, I don’t think you accomplished it; even the other Lilbits posts have more cohesion than this thing.
Maybe it’s because this post started out reading like a Black Friday roundup, then suddenly linked to the *other* BF roundup post you had, then went to completely unrelated to BF content altogether. Something about your organization / presentation on this post was *seriously* lacking. Not trying to put you down or anything, but this was a bizarre read.
