The Single Day starts at AliExpress, Cdiscount and Rakuten. This year, the Chinese e-commerce giant presents the most attractive offers, and we help you identify those that really deserve your attention. Don’t forget to use promotional codes!
The products on sale at Single Day relayed by Numerama are mainly tested by the editorial staff, shipped from Europe and at really good prices. We check each of the offers and do the work for you to find good deals on the sometimes dense e-tailer sites. This article will be updated throughout the day on November 11.
Roborock S8 – €499 (AliExpress)
Following in the footsteps of the pioneer iRobot, Roborock has established itself on the robot vacuum cleaner market in just a few years, with particularly efficient and innovative models. This high-end model with double brush and intelligent mop function really only has one fault: too expensive. So it’s great to find it on sale.
Is this a good price? At €499 after applying a promotional code, it’s the best we can find for a device in this range!
iPhone 15 – €725 (Rakuten)
The iPhone 15s are among the best in the 2023 range (see our test). Their price still places them at the top of the basket, but at €725, you would make a mistake choosing another device: between high-end photography, security, iOS, the high-performance processor and the Apple ecosystem, there isn’t really a device like it at this price.
Is this a good price? Excellent yes, we go from more than 950 € to 725. Don’t forget the promo code!
Pixel 7 and Pixel 7a – €399 and €339 (AliExpress)
The Pixel 8s are out, but that doesn’t make the Pixel 7s obsolete. Google’s excellent smartphones are also benefiting from a great promotion for Single Day.
Is this a good price? The Google Pixel 7 is sold for €649 on the Google website. On AliExpress, this model with 128 GB memory is available for €399, using the promo code FR50 when ordering. The 128 GB Pixel 7a, priced at €509 on the Google online store, is available at €339.
AirPods Pro 2 USB-C – €225 (Rakuten)
On Numerama, we have loved AirPods since the first generations. The AirPods Pro have changed our office lives with their active noise reduction and the AirPods Pro 2 come with loads of innovations that we praised in our review. Recently, the brand changed the case (and, apparently, a couple of things inside), to switch to USB-C. It is this latest model that is on sale today.
Is this a good price? The AirPods Pro 2 USB-C are expensive (€279), so any drop is welcome for such a cool everyday product. Don’t forget the promo code.
PlayStation 5 Standard – €400 (AliExpress)
Here’s a surprising good deal: the PlayStation 5 Standard with its disc reader is normally sold at a price of €549.99. For Single Day 2023, it is priced at €500 on AliExpress. And with the code FR100 to enter in the basket, you also benefit from a €100 reduction, bringing the price of the console to €400.
Is this a good price? As the PS5 Slim appears, it’s normal to see the original model a bit cheaper. But €400 for this latest generation console is really great.
Nothing Phone (2) – €519 (AliExpress)
On a technical level, the Nothing Phone (2) is a remarkable smartphone. This creation from the London brand has corrected almost all the faults of its predecessor, particularly in the field of photography, although improvements are still expected. The Nothing Phone (2) proves to be a favorite choice for those looking for a quirky and eye-catching device. During our test, only the price seemed to be a barrier to us. It’s settled with this promo.
Is this a good price? A drop of €100 for a smartphone released in 2023 is indeed an excellent price. And the Nothing Phone 2 isn’t the kind of device you’ll see everywhere.
iPad Air 5 – €559 (Rakuten)
An iPad Air at the price of a normal iPad: this is what Rakuten is offering for Single Day. This is great, as the iPad Air is the sweet spot between the entry-level versions and the Pro versions. It stands out for its 10.9-inch Liquid Retina screen and the Apple M1 chip which has an 8-core CPU, an 8-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It is compatible with the 2nd generation Apple Pencil.
Is this a good price? Really yes! Promotions on iPads are not numerous and often concern more expensive or less expensive models.
Nintendo Switch OLED – €259 (AliExpress)
The Nintendo Switch OLED for less than €260? That’s about what I paid for my first Switch, so it’s definitely a good deal. If you don’t know it (where have you been?), the Switch OLED is a versatile gaming console with a 7-inch OLED screen offering beautiful colors. It has a large adjustable stand for use in tabletop mode, a docking station with Ethernet port for playing in TV mode, and an internal storage capacity of 64 GB.
Is this a good price? Downright. They also come from Spain, which gives decent delivery times. Don’t forget the promo code!
Xiaomi Mi Smart Air Fryer – €50 (AliExpress)
Xiaomi doesn’t just make smartphones and connected bracelets. The Smart Air Fryer that we tested on Numerama is one of these incongruous products designed by the Chinese giant. At €129, the kitchen gadget was still a bit expensive, but at €50, we completely see the benefit of adding it to our cooking setup. Because oven fries are still not as good.
Is this a good price ? €50 is really the least
Xiaomi Redmi 12S 128 GB – €179 (Cdiscount)
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12S is a smartphone that combines performance and elegance, equipped with the MIUI 14 and Android 13 operating system. It offers a fluid and intuitive user experience on its 6.43-inch AMOLED FHD+ screen. On the photo side, we find a triple sensor (108.0 MP + 8.0 MP + 2.0 MP). With the Cdiscount promotions for Single Day, it increases to €179 with the code 11ONZE.
Is this a good price? It can be found for over €180 today on the web. It is therefore a rather low price with the promo code: it is difficult to do better.
Xiaomi Mi Box S 2 – €48 (AliExpress)
The Xiaomi Mi TV Box S 2nd Gen is an entry-level multimedia box that transforms any “dumb” television into an Android Smart TV. It broadcasts your series and films in 4K Ultra HD and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+. It integrates Google Assistant and Bluetooth 5.2. The offer offered by AliExpress is shipped from Spain.
Is this a good price? Yep, less than €50 for one of the best Android boxes on the market, it’s great. This is also the international version.
Logitech MX Master 3 S – €86 (AliExpress)
Super plan alert: this is perhaps THE best mouse of the moment (and it’s not ugly like a gaming mouse). The Logitech MX Master 3S wireless mouse combines performance and durability, with an accurate 8,000 DPI sensor and features like quiet clicks and a smart scroll wheel, compatible with Windows and macOS. It is also one of Logitech’s “sustainable” products, made from recycled materials.
Is this a good price? It is traditionally around €100, so finding it under €90 is great. Not the discount of the century, but if you’ve been waiting to equip yourself, now is the time.
