Christmas may be over, but don’t fret if you didn’t find everything you were hoping for under the tree this year. The Boxing Day sales are your chance to find the best tech deals, with offers on headphones, smartphones and TVs.

From Argos to Amazon, almost every UK retailer has kicked off their Boxing Day sales with prices plummeting on mattresses, air fryers, dehumidifiers and more. But just like the Black Friday sale, the wave of Boxing Day tech discounts often aren’t as generous as they seem.

Some unscrupulous brands may be trying to take advantage of your turkey-induced stupor, with offers that are barely any cheaper than the usual pre-Christmas pricing. That’s why our team of IndyBest experts are on hand to help you sift through the duds and find the best Boxing Day tech deals. If you’re keen to grab some tech bargains, keep reading for the very best we’ve spotted.

Best tech deals in the Boxing Day sales

Sony’s flagship wireless earbuds fell to their lowest-ever price for Boxing Day, and the price tag hasn’t changed since. The earbuds were awarded the top spot in our round-up of the best wireless earbuds, with our writer praising the noise-cancellation and sound quality, saying they boast “a level of deft clarity and forensic detail that makes every part of the music soar, from vocals to mid-range and bass”.

The Xbox series S is a smaller and cheaper version of the Xbox series X running on less powerful hardware. They both play the same games, though the Xbox series S doesn’t take physical discs and games appear at a slightly lower resolution. At £180, it’s an alarmingly great deal.

If it is the more powerful Xbox you’re after, you’ll be pleased to see this saving on the Xbox series X. “It’s a thunderously powerful next-generation console,” our writer said in their review. Praising the sleek look, they added: “Aesthetically, and acoustically, the Xbox series X is a console that feels at home in a living room where grown-ups live. Compare that with the superb but ridiculous-looking PlayStation 5, which resembles an abstract sculpture of Harry Hill and requires removing an external wall to get into your house.”

Amazon’s smart home display is almost always on sale, flitting between full price and £69.99 every few weeks, but, since Black Friday, the Echo Show 8 has come down to its lowest-ever price. The 8in display can make video calls, acts as a hub for your smart home devices, is an intercom for your doorbell, a voice-activated speaker and video player. When you’re not using it, the display becomes a digital photo frame.

You can get the iPhone 14 with triple the usual data allowance at Fonehouse for just £36 per month for 24 months, with nothing to pay upfront. The phone usually costs £699 SIM-free, which means this contract has you effectively paying around £7 per month for 300GB of 5G data with Three. That’s the cheapest iPhone 14 plan we’ve seen.

The 48in model is discounted too (was £1,599, now £1,099, Amazon.co.uk).

Amazon’s own-brand 55in telly was reduced to a staggering £149.99 for Prime members during Black Friday, though we’ve yet to hear from anyone who was lucky enough to score an invitation to buy one. The Fire TV is reduced to £379.99 in the Boxing Day sales, which is still a great deal.

Don’t panic if you end up spending Boxing Day watching Home Alone and eating mince pies in your bathrobe. The Boxing Day sale tends to keep going well beyond 26 December, before magically rebranding itself as the January sales. The deals are usually exactly the same, so you’ve plenty of time to shop.

Are things cheaper during Boxing Day sales?

Some tech products are cheaper on Boxing Day than they are on Black Friday, particularly as brands and retailers try to clear out old stock before the new year starts.

Here at IndyBest, we track prices year-round, so we can highlight the best Boxing Day tech deals as they appear and weed out the ones that aren’t worth your money.

Are TVs cheaper in the Boxing Day sales?
