IT’S a new year and that means plenty of new deals to be had! The January sales are on and there are loads of tech bargains on offer.
I’m The Sun’s tech editor and I’ve been testing out gadgets for more than a decade – I’ve picked out some of the best electronics deals available in the 2026 January sales. There are phones, accessories, gaming goodies, fitness gear, headphones, TVs and more, so you’re bound to find something you’d like.
Anker MagGo Power Bank
This handy portable charger (normally £89.99) has a 10,000mAh capacity that’s enough to charge most phones about twice over.
It’s a wireless charging pad that also supports a magnetic MagSafe connection to your iPhone, and has a kickstand to stand it up too. It’s one of my favourite charging gadgets.
Better still, it has a built-in screen to show you remaining charge, and a USB-C port so you can power up tablets and laptops too – it’s now on offer for £62.
Anker MagGo Power Bank, £62
Apple AirPods Pro 3
These are the latest and greatest Apple AirPods, normally retailing for £219 but now available at £199.
They have upgraded active noise cancellation to shut out the world around you – I’ve tested them and loved it in my AirPods Pro 3 review – and can even translate foreign languages live as you hear them.
And they also come fitted with heart rate sensing, which is handy for tracking workouts.

Dyson Airstrait Straightener and Dryer
Dyson is now a major player in the haircare industry – and with good reason.
One of its snazziest gadgets is the Dyson Airstrait, which delivers wet-to-dry straightening using air rather than hot plates – helping you avoid heat damage.
And it even knows when there’s hair between the arms, so that it can drop to low airflow when there isn’t, making your straightening experience quieter overall.
Importantly, this is a massive saving of £150, with the gadget down from £449 to £299.

PlayStation DualSense Edge
The PlayStation 5 has been out for a while, so the gamer in your life might already have one. Instead, here’s a clever upgrade: the DualSense Edge.
It’s PlayStation’s official upgraded controller, with customisable controls, swappable profiles, and bonus settings you can’t normally get with the regular DualSense.
If you have a gamer at home (or if it’s you!) this is a great buy at £155 (down from £199), especially if they’re into competitive online multiplayer titles.
PlayStation DualSense Edge, £155
Ring Battery Video Doorbell
If you haven’t upgraded your front door already, now’s the time to do it.
The Ring Battery Video Doorbell is down from £99.99 to £59.99, and is a great way to get started with smart home surveillance.
This is the battery model so you don’t even need to hard-wire it – and it’ll go months between charges. Keep an eye on packages (or intruders) from the comfort of your smartphone.
Ring Battery Video Doorbell, £59.99
Fitbit Charge 6
January is often the time people start to take their fitness seriously – so an activity tracker is a great place to start.
The Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the more popular smart-bands, and is especially cheap at £89 (down from £139.99).
It has a seven-day battery life, is water resistant, tracks your heart rate and general movements, and monitors your sleep too.
Fitbit Charge 6, £89
Amazon Fire TV Stick HD
The cheapest Amazon Fire TV Stick is now at a rock-bottom price of £19.99 (from its usual £39.99).
This is the entry-level Fire Stick, plugging into the back of your telly to bring you smart apps and HD visuals.
It also gets you Amazon Alexa via the Alexa Voice Remote, and includes loads of free telly too.
This is probably my top pick, purely because it’s such a low price for what you’re getting. In fact, price trackers log this as the gadget’s lowest price ever.
Amazon Fire TV Stick HD, £19.99
AND AN AMAZON TIP
Here’s something to think about if you’re shopping on Amazon…
There’s a great website called CamelCamelCamel.
You can plug in any Amazon link and it’ll show you the pricing history for that item.
And it’ll also show you the lowest price ever, as well as the average sales price.
That way, you can tell how good a deal really is – and if it’s actually a deal at all.
There’s no fee for using the website, so give it a go here.

LG TV
Currys is flogging this LG TV for £349, down from £399.
Now £50 might not sound like a huge discount, but this is a good TV model from a top telly brand.
And better yet, it’s a 50-inch 2025 NanoCell TV with 4K resolution and the full suite of smart LG features and apps. So if you’re looking for a cheap upgrade for your living room, you could do much worse than this.
LG TV, £349
Lenovo laptop
Lenovo is one of the biggest names in the laptop game, and this IdeaPad Slim 3 (with 15.6-inch display) is down from £279 to £169.
This Windows 11 S laptop comes with an Intel N100 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage.
It also sports a large Full HD display, and promises to deliver eight hours of battery life. Plus this is a great price for a starter laptop that won’t break the bank.

iPhone 16e
The iPhone 16e is Apple’s entry-level smartphone, and normally goes for £549 at Currys (in fact, it’s £599 on the Apple website).
But it’s currently down to £499, so you’re getting a £50-£100 saving here.
This 2025 model comes with 128GB of storage, Apple’s speedy A18 chip, a 6.1-inch display, 26 hours of battery life, and access to the suite of Apple Intelligence AI tricks to boot. I loved it in my iPhone 16e review.
And to top it all off, it looks quite nice too.
iPhone 16e, £499
