Best UK Black Friday tech deals 2020: what to expect from Black Friday this year OLD
Even by recent standards, 2020 has been one to forget for obvious reasons. But there is one bright spot on the horizon: Black Friday.
Undoubtedly it’ll be a strange one. There will be no mad rush of shoppers fighting over discounted TVs, but online, it’s going to be an all-important one, with retailers looking to end a miserable year on a high… and that means tech bargains for consumers if you know where to look.
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving every year. Given the vast majority don’t celebrate Thanksgiving on this side of the Atlantic, that probably won’t mean very much – but this year it falls on Friday November 27.
Of course, while Black Friday is technically one day, it has slowly expanded to fill up more and more time. First with the ludicrously named “Cyber Monday” (originally pitched as a space for online deals from a bygone age where the internet was seen as a fad) but eventually in the weeks leading up to the big day too. Last year, deals started emerging about two weeks early, largely led by Amazon.
We’ll be on hand to help you separate the wheat from the chaff, so be sure to bookmark The Evening Standard for the big day.
