Together with the (technology) experts from CHIP and other specialist portals, we will keep you up to date with the best offers around Black Friday. To help you better understand them, we have taken another look at the (recurring) highlights of the last few years and will reveal below which retailers and product groups are likely to have decent savings potential this year.

Huge Black Friday discounts at Amazon

As the world's largest online shop, Amazon will continue to dominate Black Friday in 2024. Since the competition is now huge, the shipping giant stands out from the crowd primarily through offers for its own devices. For example, Fire TV sticks, Fire tablets, Kindle e-readers and Echo speakers are sometimes up to 50 percent off the normal price. So it's no wonder that the company's own brands are among the bestsellers every year.

These offers were available in 2023 (this is only an excerpt):

• Fire TV Stick 4K for 34.99 euros instead of 69.99 euros (RRP)
• Fire Tablet 8 in the Kids Edition for 84.99 euros instead of 159.99 euros (RRP)
• Fire Tablet 10 for 89.99 euros instead of 164.99 euros (RRP)
• Amazon Fire TV 4 Series Smart TV with 55 inches (140 cm) for 429 euros instead of 699 euros
• Kindle Paperwhite for 119.99 euros instead of 149.99 euros (RRP)
• Kindle Scribe for 279.99 euros instead of 369.99 euros (RRP)

Note: The Kindle Scribe achieved good results in the CHIP test, particularly due to rare extras such as a pen with note function, which allows you to take hand-written notes in eBooks – albeit with certain limitations. The 10.2-inch touch display and the high page-turning speed are impressive. The integrated memory of 16 GB is OK for an e-reader, but not leading in the category. One drawback compared to the Paperwhite models is the lack of protection against water and dust.

Guaranteed bargains thanks to price guarantee

Amazon often offers a price guarantee for all Black Friday offers sold directly by Amazon. This means that customers who buy a product during the promotional period and later notice a price drop will be refunded the difference. However, this only applies within the online shop. If the competition undercuts you, you will have to hope that Amazon customer service will be accommodating.
