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. However, 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.
