Top Best Buy deals
1. Google Pixel 8 Pro 128GB: $999 $799 at Best Buy
As we mentioned above, the Pixel 8 Pro was our favorite Android phone released this year, balancing the efficiency of the Tensor G3 chipset with a reasonable price and unrivalled camera tech. The Pro has been chilling with a $200 discount since Black Friday, but considering the bang for the buck here, the phone continues to deserve an honorary mention in every list of holiday deals.

3. Insignia 24" Class F20 Series Fire TV: $119.99 $64.99 at Best Buy
Obviously, 24 inches is a pretty small screen, but if you want a compact smart TV for dirt cheap, look no further than the F20 Series from Insignia. Currently a mere $65 during Best Buy's holiday sale, this TV delivers nice HD picture with an HDMI port and instant access to all your favorite streaming services through the Fire TV platform. You'll also get three months of Apple TV Plus and 30 days of Fubo TV for free, which is a value of over $100 on its own.

5. Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) 64GB: $349.99 $199.99 at Best Buy
