WhileCyber Mondayhas a plethora of deals you can browse and shop, not every deal that you see is worth buying. In fact, we’ve seen some deals pop up that may look enticing on the surface, but once you get past the shiny low price tag, you can see why the discounts aren’t all they are cracked up to be. Here are three deals we’ve found that you should avoid at all costs, and one deal you absolutely do not want to miss!
Don’t buy a Pixel Fold — it’s not worth it, even with $400 off
If you’reshopping for foldables this year, we’d suggest you stay away from the Pixel Fold. When we reviewed thePixel Fold, we labeled it a rough draft. Google’s attempt at making a notebook-style build looked inviting to start, but then the negatives kept piling up. From the left-side frame makes typing on the outer screen awkward to being one of the heaviest foldable phones out there, and even the inner display quality is lackluster compared to the competition.
Listen, not every foldable is created equal, and even with the price marked down by $400, we just can’t suggest the Pixel Fold to anyone when there are much better folding phones out there. If you’re going to buy a foldable phone this Cyber Monday, we’d strongly advise you go with the Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 or the OnePlus Open.

Don’t buy the AirPods Max — there arewaycheaper alternatives
As Android lovers, we’ve always been a little skeptical of theAirPods Max. After all, they are really made for iPhone users, but we’ve always conceded that they sound absolutely incredible. The problem is there are a ton of other wireless ANC headphones that sound just as good (if not, better) than the AirPods Max and are much cheaper.
Even though the AirPods MAx are $100 off this Cyber Monday, we just can’t recommend them when amazing headphones like theSony WH-1000XM5, which sound better to our ears, are over $100 cheaper than the AirPods Max sale price! Plus, even if you like all the Apple-centric features of the AirPods Max, you may get them all (Spatial Audio, fast-pairing, seamless device switch etc.) on the Beats Studio Pro for only $170.

Don’t buy the Galaxy Tab S9 — the Tab S8 series all have great discounts
When it comes to Android tablets, there’s no doubt that Samsung is the best on the market and theGalaxy Tab S9 seriesare the newest versions of the company’s top-of-the-line slates. So why shouldn’t you buy one this Cyber Monday? Well, they just aren’t different enough from the Galaxy Tab S8 series that came before it.
Since the S8 models are a year old now and retailers are currently getting rid of their stock, you’re able to find great deals on them — deals that are just too good to pass up for a device that’s nearly identical to the S9 Series. That’s whyif we bought an Android tablet right now, we’d suggest theGalaxy Tab S8orGalaxy Tab S8+
