This deal was slightly better during the Spring Discover Samsung Sale, but the $20 difference is negligible. We still think $720 is a good deal for the flagship Samsung Galaxy S24 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) that was released back in January. The phones have great performance, day-long (if not more) battery life, and stunning displays. There are smart, fun software features, and while we think the design is a bit uninspired, the phones are available in neat colors. This basic model will serve most people just fine. Be sure to protect your new purchase with one of these great S24 cases.
The price on this deal is $50 lower than previous discounts we’ve seen during Samsung’s seasonal sales. The Galaxy S24+ has a larger 6.7-inch display compared to the basic S24 model’s 6.2-inch screen, so it’s a better option if you prefer more real estate for your smartphones. It also has a bigger battery, more RAM, and a larger baseline storage capacity than its smaller sibling. Read more about their differences and similarities in our buying guide. We’ve tested many Galaxy S24 cases—these are our favorites.
To round out the S24 discounts, we have this deal, which doubles previous price drops we’ve seen from this sale and makes it much more appealing than what we’ve tracked in the past. It’s the biggest phone in the lineup and is made of titanium rather than aluminum. It also has a built-in S Pen stylus and more versatile cameras compared to the S24 or S24+. Just note that the stylus really makes this phone stand out, so if you don’t reach for a stylus very often, you’ll probably be fine with a different (and less expensive) model. Our buying guide is full of detailed advice. Don’t forget a phone case!
This is close to the best price we’ve tracked for this phone—it dropped by another $100 last Black Friday, but if you’re spending four digits, that difference might not necessarily make or break your decision. The Z Fold5 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a sleek smartphone that opens up like a book. The displays are bright and immersive, the cameras are good, and it has one of the best update policies you can get on an Android. We do wish the front screen was a bit wider. Once your new purchase arrives, be sure to check our Best Apps for Folding Phones guide.

This deal beats previous discounts we’ve seen for this model by about $10. The Galaxy Tab S9 Series (7/10, WIRED Review) is full of some of the best Android tablets around, but they’re usually too expensive. The hardware is excellent, from the bright screens to the included S Pen stylus, and Samsung’s security updates and Android OS upgrades will keep the gadget up-to-date for years. The discount makes now a smarter time to buy if you’re interested—with the important caveat that we think this baseline model is the worst of the series, and we suggest going with the Tab S9+ (on sale for $823, nearly $300 off) or S9 Ultra if you can afford to.
Beating last year’s discount by $80, the S9+ is a great middle-of-the-road option for anyone who wants to use a tablet for both work and play. The 12.4-inch AMOLED screen has enough real estate for most tasks, and this model of the S9 series comes with 12 gigabytes of RAM compared to the basic S9’s 8 gigs. Since they’re both on sale right now, we think this option is the better buy. Read more in our review.
We see deals on other models from the S9 lineup on a regular basis, but finding a discount on the Tab S9 Ultra is a harder endeavor. This matches the best discounts we’ve seen and the deal gets even sweeter if you have a device to trade in. We wish there was an option for cellular connectivity instead of just Wi-Fi, but if that isn’t a dealbreaker, this luxe tablet is worth checking out. The screen is massive, measuring almost 15 inches, and the snappy screens and best-in-class performance round everything out. If you don’t need a gigantic screen, the S9+ on sale for $823 is cheaper and easier to use as a handheld.
Smartwatch and Headphone Deals

This is the best price we’ve seen for the Galaxy Buds2 Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends). It only beats the previous best by six bucks. But still! A win is a win. These earbuds are supremely comfortable, and they come in a few different snazzy colors. They’ve also got great noise canceling and high-quality sound during both listening and calls. They’re our favorite headphones for Samsung owners.
We’ve seen this price before, and we’ll probably see it again, but it remains the lowest discount we’ve tracked for the Galaxy Watch6. We’ve reviewed the Watch6 Classic (7/10, WIRED Recommends), which has a rotating mechanical bezel. The Watch6 that’s on sale doesn’t have the bezel, but otherwise it’s pretty similar. It comes running Wear OS 4 and has most of the same health and fitness tracking features as an Apple watch does. It’s important to note that it only works with Android phones, and the electrocardiogram and irregular heart rate notifications only work when the watch is paired with a Samsung phone. Read more about it in our Best Smartwatches guide.

Not everybody needs or wants a CoPilot+ PC. But if you’re in the market for an AI-forward computer, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the one to get. The 16-inch touchscreen display is gorgeous, though the laptop struggles with good graphics performance, and the battery life boasts over 14 hours per charge. The biggest reason to get this laptop would be for the AI-driven tasks like Live Captions and chat summaries. Read more about it in our review.
This projector basically always sells for $598 or $798, but we’ve not tracked it dropping lower than it is right now. This little projector offers up to 100 inches of screen real estate, and it also features a built-in smart interface and gaming hub. It’s compatible with specific USB-C power banks for extra portability. Find other recommendations in our Best Projectors guide.
