Boxing Day 2024 in Australia: the best early deals you can shop right now
Grab a Christmas Eve bargain on smartphones, tablets, audio gear, TVs, cameras, laptops, appliances and much more
Boxing Day is now just days away and whether you’re hunting for a last-minute gift or planning ahead, there are already some great deals available.
Many retailers have launched early Boxing Day sales and major discounts are in full swing now it's Christmas Eve. If you are buying (late) presents over the next few days, be mindful of delivery times if shopping online – next-day delivery isn’t always guaranteed at this time of year, even with Amazon.
Boxing Day is also ideal for picking up back-to-school tech or upgrading your gadgets for 2025. If you know what you or your child needs – now’s the time to grab it cheap.
As usual, we’re tracking all the best bargains as they roll in. Check out our top picks below, featuring many discounts that are as good as – or better than – Black Friday.
I've been writing about tech for almost two decades and love nothing more than finding a bargain. When I'm not getting hands-on for a review, I can usually be found poring over the endless spreadsheets I use to track product prices and uncover the best deals.

The B6 is the top rated budget option in our best power banks buyers guide and outperforms much more expensive models. Ignore the listed RRP – AU$29.99 is the normal price, and while this isn't the cheapest we have seen, AU$25.49 is a decent discount.
Need a larger capacity? The INIU B5 has a 20,000 mAh capacity and is currently 33% off – on sale for AU$39.99.
Save AU$31.49
Hate carrying cables? This handy little accessory doesn't need them, as it's able to deliver a charge to your iPhone (12 or later) using the magnetic MagSafe tech on the back. The 5,000 mAh capacity is enough to bring most iPhones from 20% back to a full charge, and it’s small enough to slip in a pocket.
Save AU$25.95
This Xbox controller almost always gets a discount during major sales, but different colours tend to be priced differently. This time around, white colour option is the cheapest, although it's not quite the lowest price we've seen – that was AU$52.50 for the red controller back in May. It could still be a good time to pick up an extra gamepad or two for a reasonable price.
Save AU$75
Offering active noise cancellation below AU$75 is no small feat, but the Moto Buds manage it. With 51% slashed off the price, these buds are an attractive buy.
Save AU$85.03

Our 1More Sonoflow review praised the comfort of the headphones, as well as the excellent active noise cancelling and up to 70 hours of battery life. This deal is very slightly better than during Black Friday, and while not the very lowest price we have seen, it's still an excellent discount.
Save AU$18
This compact mid-sized power bank is a great option for fast charging your phone on longer trips where a smaller capacity power bank won't cut it. The T2055 is one of our top-rated options in our best power bank buyers guide, and is a great deal for AU$31.99. For a limited time, get an extra AU$5 off via coupon button.

It's not the cheapest we've seen the AirPods Pro 2nd Generation earbuds, but it's still an attractive discount worth considering if you're an iPhone user. Brilliant noise cancellation and transparency modes, along with epic sound quality make the AirPods Pro essential for an Apple lover.
Save AU$107
Samsung's newly released premium earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 3, aren't the most powerful in-ear headphones that the brand offers (that would be the Buds 3 Pros) but they're still very much worth considering, especially for their strong noise cancellation, long battery life and live translation smarts when paired with a compatible Galaxy phone. Or grab them in white for AU$189.
Save up to AU$20
Bluetooth speakers don't come as portable as the JBL Clip 5. It has a built-in carabiner clip that can latch onto virtually anything you wish, and despite its small size, it's capable of putting on a loud, lively sound. Extra features include an IP67 waterproof rating and an adjustable EQ.
Save AU$54.95
A brilliant portable speaker with room-filling sound, the JBL Charge 5 boasts great audio balance and impressive battery life, so much so that it earned a TechRadar Recommends seal of approval in our review. There may be no aux port, and there's some distortion at high volume, but it's one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers you can buy, and has a spot on our list of the best portable speakers. Currently sold out in all colours aside from red.
Save AU$120
This AU$120 discount brings B&W's excellent, premium over-ears in-line with other big-hitters from Sony, Sennheiser and Bose, making them seriously worthy of your attention. They unearth exceptional amounts of detail, deliver excellent low-end bass and they're unbelievably comfortable to boot. Plus, we reckon the Forest Green colour (pictured) makes them some of the best looking cans, ever.
Save AU$115
While not the lowest price we've seen on what are still arguably Sony's best over-hear headphones (the newer XM5s are a minor update to our ears, and arguably not worth the extra dosh), Amazon's discounting both white and black colour options by 26%, which brings them back to their Black Friday of AU$324. They deliver superb sound, have outstanding ANC and the batteries last for up to 30 hours. Well worth the asking price.
Save AU$94
It's not the biggest discount we've ever seen, but any saving on Sony's excellent XM5 over-ear headphones is always welcome. They deliver the best all-round performance of any premium pair available right now, ticking all the major boxes of sound, noise cancellation and comfort.
Save AU$223.05
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are a stunning set of headphones and comfortably the best when it comes to active noise-cancellation. Their sound quality is nothing short of exquisite, and the ability to turn any song into a spatial audio one thanks to Immersive Mode earns it another gold star. Note that this 34% discount is available on all colorways, but some have already sold out.
Gaming
Save AU$250
Back to the price it was through most of October (and all through Black Friday), the latest Quest VR headset now comes bundled with one game to get you started. Considering I've not seen this bundle drop any lower than AU$799, I'm not convinced we'll see a better price on Boxing Day itself, so maybe it's worth gifting to yourself for Christmas.
Save AU$45.95
A true return to form for the COD franchise, Black Ops 6 delivers a scintillating and visually impressive campaign mode, an engaging multiplayer mode with new movement mechanics and of course, Zombie mode. It's easily one of the best entries in the franchise in years.
Save AU$55.95
The latest release of the Shin Megami Tensei V series brings a new "vengeance" storyline that's a heck of a lot better than the standard game. It also adds some quality-of-life improvements that make this a brilliant JRPG, brought to you by the makers of the Persona series.
Save AU$100
This is an excellent gaming keyboard from Asus that delivers excellent switch feel, effective sound dampening, and an elegantly compact form factor despite being a full-size keyboard. The deal price here matches a previous low we've seen.
Save AU$100.95
If you're a Mac user who wants a Mac-optimised keyboard but not the Magic Keyboard that Apple offers, the Logitech MX Keys Advanced keyboard is an excellent choice. The keys are illuminated and mechanical, and wireless with a battery life of up to 10 days (or five months without backlighting). It has a Mac layout, so if you're a Windows user, you might miss the Windows key.
Save AU$378
Our friends over at PC Gamer gave this Alienware monitor a glorious 92 / 100 review. The monitor used Samsung's new QD-OLED tech to give a 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, 240Hz refresh rate (supporting AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync) and a 0.03ms response time. It's going for a terrific price that blows its Black Friday discount out of the water.
Save AU$267
A cheap ultrawide gaming monitor with a 1440p resolution? Sign me up. The LG 34GP63A is already sold at an attractive low price, so this additional discount is even harder to pass up.
Amazon products
Save AU$20
This latest release of Amazon entry-level Kindle only came out last month, and while we think it's got great performance, it's a little hard to recommend at full price. This small 10% discount goes some way to rectifying that, and if you're after a lovely Christmas present for someone who loves to read, this makes for a great festive option, particularly in the new Matcha Green colour... though it's also discounted in the usual Black.
Save AU$50
The best-value Kindle in our opinion, the latest Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is speedier in use than the model it replaces, which makes a huge difference if you read a lot. The screen is a bit brighter too, which is a great addition. If you're happy to still read in black and white when there's colour ereaders on the market, this is the best option.
Save AU$40
The Echo Dot offers surprisingly big sound and great audio quality for a small smart speaker. At 40% off, you get voice control via Alexa, making it easy to stream your favourite apps, listen to music or the news and schedule reminders.

If you don't want it spying on anything, there's a handy cover too. You'll also get a 30-day free trial of Ring Protect, which you will need a subscription to if you want a record of previous footage.

Samsung's budget handsets are excellent, and the Galaxy A55 is such a nice smartphone that it sits well beside Samsung's most premium handsets. It's not the lowest price we've ever seen for the handset (we've previously seen it as low as AU$447) but AU$200 off one of 2024's best phones can't be ignored.
Save AU$202
One of the few Android phones that offers Qi 2 wireless charging, the HMD Skyline is a sub-AU$1,000 smartphone to consider instead of a Pixel or Samsung Galaxy A series device. It's also much more repairable, with a back cover that can be simply popped off.
Save AU$130

Samsung's flagship smartphone has seen constant discounts over the past couple of sales events, with the price often dropped to this point. The rectangular handset boasts our favourite cameras on any smartphone, and its performance is simply unmatched by its rivals. It's a brilliant phone for a power user, but you may also wish to wait until January, as a new model may be released. The Titanium Grey model is also discounted to AU$1,699.
Save AU$201
The cheapest smartphone in the Samsung Galaxy S24 family has received another discount in time for Christmas and Boxing Day. It's the cheapest we've ever seen the S24 FE sold for (apart from some attractive launch deals through telcos), and it might be worth considering as an entry-point device to Samsung's premium smartphones. Available in Graphite, Mint and Blue.
Save AU$153.05
If you've been looking for a smartwatch with sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring and ECG capabilities, but doesn't just look like a digital screen on your wrist, you should consider the Withings Scanwatch. It's one of the best analog-digital hybrid smartwatches on the market, and we quite liked it in our review – though NFC, on-board GPS and onboard apps and media controls would have been nice. Even better, this price is an equal all-time-low.
Save AU$400.72
If you want the best fitness features on a bright, AMOLED display, the Garmin Epix 2 is the watch for you. Its features are suitable for both the most adept and inexperienced trainers, with accurate GPS and excellent mapping. Its respectable 75-hour battery life is dwarfed by other Garmin watches, but that big display is the star.
Save AU$536
Powerful, resilient and perfect for intensive workouts, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is designed for fitness lovers who get out and about. Its resistance levels make it perfect for water-based exercises and rain, and its dual-frequency GPS gives it precise location accuracy. It’s rugged out of the box and comes with a gorgeous 44mm display on a 47mm chassis. Though we wrote in our review that its long-lasting battery could perhaps be more impressive, we loved it for its toughness, programmable quick button and its huge feature set. Titanium Grey is deeply discounted down to AU$756 (or AU$80 cheaper than its Black Friday price), while Titanium Silver is AU$806.
Save AU$880.13
The headline feature here is that AMOLED display – it's absolutely stunning! But it's also the ultimate outdoor watch, with a built-in torch, practically all kinds of activity tracking (including surfing and skiing), and packed full of features with up to 31 days of battery life. The 51mm is the ultimate Garmin with the whopper of a price tag, but while it does not show as a discount, you can also get the 47mm version for AU$898, which is the lowest price we have seen.
Save AU$100
The Forerunner 55 is Garmin's entry-level running smartwatch and already pretty affordable, but a range of retailers including JB are discounting it by a further 28% for Boxing Day. As stated in our 4-star review, we think this is a great option for beginners or those looking to step up from a basic fitness tracker. And despite the name this one also tracks more than running, with modes for swimming, cycling, yoga and more.
Save AU$165
If you want to move on from your Apple Watch to something that's more fitness oriented, Garmin's Vivoactive 5 is ideal. For your money, you're getting a lovely AMOLED display, up to 11 days of battery life and GPS tracking, along with a heck of a lot of fitness features for the gym goer.

Samsung's answer to the AirTag, the SmartTag 2 works with select Samsung phones to help you find mislaid items. It has a built-in hole for easier attachments, up to 700 days of battery life and it's water-resistant. If you're always losing stuff, this is a worthy investment.
Save AU$40.40

Other sizes:

The LG C4 dropped to around AU$2,500 during Black Friday, so clearly this discount isn't as good, but it's not far off! It's the best price we can currently find, and we think it still ultimately represents good value for what is an excellent screen. We think it will suit most homes thanks to its incredible gaming support and a much-improved processor over its predecessor. It's practically perfect in every way.
Save AU$1905
A huge saving on a brilliant TV, this display is perfect for if you crave deep picture adjustments, a sleek design and high brightness. We recommended this TV in our Sony X90L review, though note that there's some backlight blooming and only two HDMI 2.1 ports.
Save AU$1,014
The Sony Bravia 8 is perhaps one of the best TVs for most people. Similar to the LG C4 further up this page, the Bravia 8 uses a 'standard' WOLED panel, but thanks to a new processor, Sony manages to generate excellent levels of brightness, coupled with beautiful, natural colours. It's built-in sound system is also one of the best around. This isn't the cheapest price we have seen, but isn't a bad buy.
Save AU$500
A more affordable alternative to Sony's impressive X90L TV, you'll want to consider the X80L if you want a more accessible big TV. Just be aware that its brightness and contrasting aren't on the same level as its higher-end sibling.

We've previously seen the Sony A90K 42-inch TV as low as AU$1,599, but at AU$100 more expensive it's still a total bargain. This TV is a popular pick for folks craving a larger OLED monitor, and are willing to look to TVs for a solution.

We haven’t reviewed this Bose soundbar, but if it’s anything like the brand’s other models, we’re confident it will do a mighty fine job of boosting the sound from your TV, ideal when watching movies. If you want to add even more low-end grunt, it works with the company’s Bass Modules (sold separately). A Dialogue mode helps to boost vocals, and if you fancy a dance around your bedroom or living room, Bluetooth is onboard for you to stream your favourite tunes.

It might be mini by name but it's certainly not mini by nature. This Sennheiser soundbar is easy to accommodate and is more than capable of delivering a huge, detailed and precise sound into your room. Its companion app is one of the best around and it does well with music. The only real drawback is that it doesn't support HDMI passthrough.

This is the same price as during the Black Friday sales, and AU$100 cheaper than yesterday. The slim laptop features the new Series 2 Intel Core Ultra 7 258V CPU, a big 15.3-inch 2800 x 1800 touchscreen display and premium features like a facial recognition webcam and Wi-Fi 7.

This discount for the high-end Deco BE65 is almost AU$200 more than during Black Friday, and the very lowest price we have seen. We suggest you read our TP-Link Deco BE63 review for the full breakdown, but suffice to say it's very fast, and while Wi-Fi 7 isn't widely supported just yet, it gives great future proofing. It's also ideal for gamers, or those with a NAS, as the mesh nodes include a 2.5G network port.

The cheapest and most compact GoPro ever, the Hero is designed to be a simple, affordable and easy to use active camera. It only weighs 86g even with a display fitted to the back and its sizeable 4K-capable camera. it can be immersed in up to 5m of water and is fitted with a single capture button for simplicity. Compared to the mainline GoPro active cameras, there aren't as many video options and you only get a choice of three aspect ratios, however the battery life is still impressive at up to 100 minutes.

We saw this Black Sesame colourway down to a low of AU$547 during Black Friday, so this deal is just as good.

Dyson’s first robot vacuum cleaner to be available in Australia is pretty powerful and can do a decent job of getting into room edges to suck up dirt, but it is expensive and, in all honest, not great value. However, with a decent chunk of change slashed, it’s not a bad option if you really want a Dyson robovac. And just to watch that little tongue pop out to clean room edges might make this worthwhile for some people.
Save AU$600.11
This robot vacuum stands out with loads of great features, including a bagless self emptying station that help reduces the cost of operation. For the full insight, check out our Eureka E10s review where we give it 4 stars. Oh, and it also comes in white if you'd prefer. Plus it's very slightly cheaper than during the Black Friday sales.
Save AU$300
It's not as powerful or full-featured as other, more expensive Deebots, but it can still do a pretty decent job of cleaning up hard floors. It's navigation is great, but be careful with small items and cables on the floor as this bot might find itself entangled. It will mop quite well too, but don't expect the scrubbing motion from the more high-end robot vacuums.
Save AU$1,050
This deal features the Deebot T20e model, but you might want to take a read of our Ecovacs Deebot T20 Omni review, where we cover some of the differences between the two. The T20e offers greater suction power but uses hot air and cold water for self-cleaning instead of hot water. While the T20e is normally sold around the AU$1,600 mark, and occasionally discounted down to AU$1,100, this is the best deal we have seen so far.
Save AU$420
This Ecovacs Deboot N10 packs some of the more attractive robovac features into a fairly affordable unit. You get 4,300Pa of suction, which is more than enough for hard floors, but it will struggle on very dirty carpets. But if hard floors is what you have in your home, this will vacuum and mop quite well for a fraction of its RRP.

LIVE: Latest Updates
A Christmas morning look at today’s deals before Boxing Day
Merry Christmas! I’ve taken a moment this morning to check for any early updates, and while most major changes in pricing will arrive tomorrow, there are still a few standout deals worth noting today.
Retailers tend to unveil their blockbuster discounts at midnight on December 26th, which means today is a quieter day in terms of significant price changes. That said, a handful of products have dropped a decent amount in price compared to yesterday, making them worth checking out if you get a break in the days festivities.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura | Intel Ultra 7 258V / 32GB / 1TB SSD AU$2,799 AU$1,997 (dropped AU$100)
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 (4-pack) AU$169 AU$103.70 (dropped AU$18.30)
Hisense U7N (65-inch) AU$2,295 AU$1,244 (dropped AU$101)
If none of today’s deals catch your eye, don’t worry. Boxing Day sales are traditionally when retailers go all out with their biggest discounts of the year. Be sure to check back tomorrow for updated deals and recommendations to make the most of the sales frenzy.
Happy holidays, and happy shopping!
Merry (almost) Christmas from all of us at TechRadar!
It’s Christmas Eve, and the festive cheer is in the air. Or at least hopefully a lot of smoke from a BBQ dinner. Whether you’ve wrapped up all your shopping or are simply enjoying the quiet moments of the holiday season, we hope you’re surrounded by family, friends, and good food. Or maybe just some Netflix and chill.
For us, finding amazing deals feels a little like unwrapping Christmas presents. That’s why, first thing on Christmas morning, a few of us will be back at it – double-checking prices, hunting for fresh bargains that Santa left, and updating our live coverage to bring you the best (slightly early) Boxing Day sales as they happen.
If you’re taking it easy tomorrow and want to sneak in some online shopping for the gifts you didn’t get, we’ve got you covered. Our team will be tracking all the biggest and best sales throughout the day, so you can find exactly what you’re looking for – whether it’s that perfect tech gadget, like noise-canceling headphones or a sleek new laptop, or a great deal on a new appliance for your home.
As you likely expected, Amazon's massive range of first party tech, which includes home security devices from sub-brands Ring and Blink, has seen huge discounts this festive season.
Ring represents the premium end of Amazon's home security offering, with high-end cameras and doorbells on offer that can shoot in 4K. Blink, meanwhile, is a newcomer to the Australian market, with more entry-level home camera options available. Both product families have Alexa compatibility, but have seperate apps from each other.
As Ring has existed Down Under for much longer, there are more products both on offer generally as well as discounted. This includes the AU$199 Ring Stick Up Cam Battery two pack (was AU$329), the AU$129 Ring Battery Video Doorbell + Chime (was AU$189) and the AU$89 Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Camera (was AU$129).
Those low prices are quite alluring, but don't count Blink out – because the costs can be brought down even more. As part of Amazon's Boxing Day sales, you can score a Blink Mini 2 for AU$50 (was AU$99) and a Blink Outdoor 4 for AU$75 (was AU$149).
Tips for last-minute shoppers
It’s Christmas Eve, and while the festive spirit is in full swing, the reality of forgotten shopping has hit. If you’re looking to capitalize on Boxing Day sales in Australia but can no longer count on Amazon’s delivery services to make it in time, don’t worry – there are still excellent ways to score last-minute deals before Christmas day.
Consider Same-Day Delivery Options
Some stores, like JB Hi-Fi, offer on-demand delivery through services such as Uber. This can be a lifesaver if you find a deal you love and want it delivered straight to your door without waiting. JB Hi-Fi offers two types of Uber deliveries in metro areas:
ASAP Delivery: Your order will be delivered within 90 minutes to 2 hours of placing it.
Scheduled Delivery: If available, you can select a 2-hour delivery window during the store’s operating hours.
Eligibility: Orders must be placed within 20km of a store offering Uber delivery. Available 7 days a week from store opening until 2 hours before closing time.
Opt for In-Store Pickup
The smartest move, if you spot a deal on our curated Boxing Day sales page, is to order online for in-store pickup. Why? This ensures the item is in stock before you brave the retail madness. Plus, your order will be ready and waiting for you to collect, saving you time and stress. Most major retailers like JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, and other big-box stores offer this option, making it an ideal way to shop.
What to Do About Amazon Bargains
If the deal you’ve spotted is on Amazon but delivery isn’t feasible, don’t give up. Check physical stores like JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys for the same product. These retailers often match or closely align with Amazon’s pricing, especially during major sales events like Boxing Day. You might just find the same item for a comparable price and with the added bonus of immediate availability.
Google's Holiday Sale is technically wrapping up on Christmas day, but although it's not technically a Boxing Day sale, it still represents some fairly festive value.
Right now on the Google Store, you can score the Google Pixel 9 for AU$1,049 and the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL for AU$1,449.
These are two of our favourite phones of the year, and although you might be able to find slightly lower prices at other retailers, buying directly through Google gives you additional value through money back when you trade-in your old handset, along with an additional sizeable discount on a 41mm or 45mm Google Pixel Watch 3 when paired with one of these phones – with costs down to AU$493 and AU$569 respectively.
Just be aware that the Google Pixel 9 Pro isn't discounted through the Google Store – although it is from other retailers. The Good Guys, for example, is currently offering the Pixel 9 Pro for AU$1,297, perfect for if you want our favourite phone of the year cheap.
Boxing Day is just around the corner – officially kicking off on December 26. But as always, many retailers aren’t waiting to get started – loads of Boxing Day sales are already live, and the deals are only getting better as we get closer to the event.
Some brands have been advertising ‘early’ Boxing Day deals for a while now, and the savings are stacking up. For the bargain hunter, this means more time to shop and more chances to score. We’re not complaining at all!
Right now, it’s a great time to grab those big-ticket items you missed out on during the Black Friday sales at the start of the month. And if you’re still hunting for last-minute gifts, well, you might have left it a bit late to shop online unless picking up in store. Boxing Day is also the perfect opportunity to stock up on back-to-school tech or gear up for 2025 upgrades.
With so many offers on – well – offer, where do you start? With us, of course. TechRadar’s Australian team has been scouring the interwebs to bring you the best deals on top products from trusted retailers. We’ll keep tracking the latest and greatest deals all the way through to Boxing Day and beyond – because some retailers are sure to extend their sales.
My team and I have nearly a decade of bargain-hunting experience, and we’re leveraging our product expertise to recommend only the best of the best. So join us on this shopping journey – we’ll help you save both money and time.
