The best Australian EOFY tech deals 2018 | Tech News

UPDATE: The Samsung Galaxy S9 is cheaper than last week! So grab one while you can. Plus Amazon is discounting its Kindle and Echo speakers and one of Lenovo’s latest 2-in-1 Yoga range of laptops is also on sale. So scroll down and take a gander at the latest round-up of our EOFY deals.

The 2018 tax-time sales are here. The end of the financial year is often when retailers try and get rid of aging stock or work overtime to reach sales targets, with the result being massive discounts on a range of products – from cars to home appliances and plenty in between.

The TechRadar team is here to help you find the best tech products on sale for the cheapest prices. Note that some of the offers on our list end before 30 June, but we’ll keep this story continuously updated to include any new deals we find between now and the EOFY to help you snag the best bargains.

  • Our sister site Getprice is also listing all the best EOFY deals in a variety of categories, not just tech.
