Cyber Monday is done, but these Samsung deals are still around — save big while they're still available

Which retailer has the best Cyber Monday/Black Friday Samsung deals?

It depends on what you're looking for! Pretty much every retailer under the sun has launched holiday sales for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, so you'll want to be vigilant and look around before committing to one retailer (or you could simply bookmark Androidcentral.com for comprehensive deal coverage).

That being said, if you are hoping to buy unlocked Samsung devices, retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart will probably be your best bet. If you're willing to make a trade-in or update your wireless service, consider checking with your phone carrier or Samsung itself to see what offers are available.

What is going on with the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra?

• Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 40mm (LTE): $349.99 $278.99 at Amazon
• Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 47mm (LTE): $649.99 $472.99 at Amazon

One of the biggest surprises we've seen this holiday shopping season has been the absolutely outrageous discounts on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra. These two top-rated Android smartwatches have only been out since July and yet they've already received historic discounts during Amazon's early Black Friday sale.

Will the price drop even further as we approach Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Only time will tell, but I certainly wouldn't wait to place your order if you're interested.

When will Black Friday sales start?

The Black Friday sales have pretty much already begun. In the coming days, you'll see retailers across the web launching sales to get shoppers ready for the holiday season — the big question is whether these offers will improve as we near November 29th. Needless to say, if you're looking for a Samsung deal this holiday season, bookmark this page: I'll keep updating this guide with new offers as they go live.

Should you buy Galaxy devices directly from Samsung?

Samsung typically runs a big sale during Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend, but the offers on display usually involve a lot of fine print to get the max savings.

It seems like the site has learned its lesson this year, however, as Samsung's Black Friday deals have never been as good as this.

The offers I've seen so far from the Korean OEM easily rival retailers like Best Buy and Amazon. For example, you can currently score $800 off the Galaxy Z Fold 6 when you buy the phone unlocked in select colors, while the unlocked Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with a $300 no-strings discount AND a free storage upgrade with select color variants. Neither of these deals require a trade-in or carrier activation, which is honestly pretty remarkable for Samsung.

• Samsung Galaxy S24 FE 128GB: $649.99 $474.99 at Best Buy

Samsung's midrange Galaxy S24 FE just hit store shelves last month, so I was pretty surprised to see Best Buy's Black Friday sale carve a whopping $175 off the unlocked phone. That's a huge discount for such a new phone, and it's extremely unlikely that the price will drop even further next week.

The Galaxy S24 FE boasts a lovely 6.7-inch AMOLED display with seven years of guaranteed OS updates, plus you get Galaxy AI features and 8GB of RAM straight out of the box.

If you want to save even more, Best Buy will hook you up with $100 of additional savings when you activate the phone today, resulting in a total discount of $275 off. Thanks to this no-hassle deal, the midrange masterpiece just got way more midrange.

To wait or not to wait, that really IS the question

It's the major dilemma every year: should you trust the early Black Friday sales or wait until the big day to officially place your order? It's hard to know for sure. When writing up the deals for our shopping guides, I always try to be very clear if a deal is truly one-of-a-kind or if it is likely to get even better when Black Friday arrives.

Needless to say, if you see a deal on our site and it disappears before you can make your move, don't worry: many retailers will test the waters with a new deal and then end it before Black Friday weekend, only to resurrect it at the last minute. I'll try to make that known whenever I see it occur, but if you want to keep an eye on discounts yourself, it's worth checking out a price history tool like Camelcamelcamel to see what's really going on behind the scenes.

• Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 256GB: $1,299.99 $949.99 at Best Buy

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is sure to be one of the most sought-after items this holiday season, and for good reason. The phone is an absolute powerhouse of Android technology, with a gorgeous 6.8-inch AMOLED display (with accompanying built-in stylus!), a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, and all of the cutting-edge Galaxy AI features you could ever want. Like the rest of the S24 series, the phone is also slated to receive seven years of OS and security upgrades.

The only real gripe I have with the S24 Ultra is its price. Fortunately, the early Black Friday sales have already begun to chip away at the super-premium smartphone, with Best Buy carving a straight $350 off the device when you buy unlocked.

If you have an old or broken device to ditch, Samsung is also offering up to $800 of instant trade-in credit, plus a free storage upgrade! Thanks to the incoming Black Friday sales, there's never been a better time to grab the ultra-pricey S24 Ultra.

• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 256GB: up to $750 off w/ trade-in OR up to $200 off without at Samsung

If you were hoping to buy the Galaxy Z Flip 6 this holiday season, there are a few great ways to do it. Grab the 256GB foldable directly from Samsung, for instance, and you'll be eligible to receive up to $750 off when you trade in an old or broken device. Skip the trade-in hassle altogether and you'll get a straight $200 knocked off the price.

That being said, if I were going to buy an unlocked Galaxy Z Flip 6 this Black Friday, I'd ditch Samsung altogether and grab this 26% off discount from Amazon.

Should you wait for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series?

A bounty of leaks and rumors — not to mention the precedent set by previous launches — have suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will be unveiled sometime in January 2025. The flagship lineup is expect to include the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and premium Galaxy S25 Ultra, and there are sure to be a number of preorder deals that make the AI-powered smartphones somewhat easier on the wallet.

So should you buy the Galaxy S24 during Black Friday if the S25 series is just around the corner? It depends on the deal you get. After all, the S24 series is slated to get OS and security updates for seven more years, so it's not like the phones are going to feel dated very soon.

Here's my advice: if you're an Android enthusiast who's passionate about using the latest and greatest Samsung devices, go ahead and wait for the Galaxy S25 to arrive. If you're using a phone like the Galaxy S23 Ultra, you might also want to wait to see what trade-in deals become available for the S25 series.

If you simply want a great device for a record low price ASAP, however, consider one of the Galaxy S24 deals of Black Friday 2024.

Will the Galaxy Ring go on sale for Black Friday?

If you've been waiting for the right time to buy the Samsung Galaxy Ring, this year's upcoming Black Friday event might be it. Although we haven't seen too many impressive offers just yet, that could change at literally any moment.

In the meantime, the best Black Friday Galaxy Ring deal is going to be this offer from Samsung that gives you up to $200 of instant credit when you process a trade-in on its site. That could knock the price of the smart ring to as low as $199.99! Samsung seems particularly interested in taking old Galaxy Watches off your hands, so dig those up and see how much you can save.

Amazon's Black Friday Week just kicked off

Amazon just formally kicked off its Black Friday sale event today, and there is no shortage of great Samsung deals on display. The record-smashing deal on the Galaxy Watch Ultra, for instance, just got even better, with 27% off the rugged wearable, while the super-powered Galaxy S24 Ultra is now $350 off on the site. More Amazon discounts are certain to go live over the next week, so keep your eye on this guide for the latest and greatest offers.

• Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 40mm (BT): $299.99 $139.99 at Amazon

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 just keeps getting cheaper! A full week before Black Friday officially kicks off, Amazon is slashing a jaw-dropping 53% off the flagship wearable, knocking it down to a record low price.

The last-gen smartwatch may not have the best battery life compared to some 2024 models, but you're getting a bright AMOLED display with super-fast charging, a ton of health and fitness tracking features, and an Exynos chipset with 2GB of RAM.

To be clear, I wouldn't recommend buying this watch at full price — but with this Black Friday discount from Amazon, it's a total no-brainer if you're in the market for a mid-range smartwatch.

The Galaxy Tab S10 series gets its first discounts before Black Friday! 

Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10 series of Android tablets was just unveiled a little over a month ago, but the Black Friday sales have already given the devices their first-ever discounts!

If you've had your eye on the super-premium Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, the best move would probably be to buy the tablet directly from the source. Samsung is currently slashing $200 off the tablet AND throwing in up to $800 of trade-in credit when you send in an old or broken device. Play your cards right and you can get your tablet for as little as $199.99. Not too shabby for a brand new device that's powerful enough to replace your laptop!

• Samsung Galaxy Buds 3: $179.99 From $39.99 at Samsung
• Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro: $249.99 From $114.99 at Samsung

Samsung has just added the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro to its lineup of Black Friday deals, and audiophiles should really take note. You can get up to $100 off the buds when you trade in an old pair of earbuds or headphones, which could knock 2024's Galaxy Buds 3 down to as low as $39.99!

• Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus: $219.99 $149.99 at Amazon

Unfortunately, some Android tablets get the reputation of being a little overpriced, but that's not a problem with the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus. This well-priced device boasts a durable aluminum construction, a long-lasting 7,040mAh battery, and a Snapdragon processor that will handle most daily tasks with ease. You also get expandable storage using microSD.

The Tab A9 Plus doesn't have S Pen support, which is a bummer, but Amazon's Black Friday sale is making up for any drawbacks with a huge 32% discount! That knocks the price of the tablet back down to an all-time low.

Wait, WHEN is Black Friday again?

Something interesting happened yesterday. Millions of folks outside of the United States thought yesterday, November 22nd, was Black Friday, as that has been closer to the usual date from past years. In the eComm industry, we've begun to refer to this as "Fake Black Friday". But fear not, the REAL Black Friday will be held on the day after Thanksgiving, November 29th.

In the meantime, there is no shortage of great early Black Friday deals to hold you over.

What's up with the Verizon bundle deal?

Verizon's Black Friday sale has officially kicked off, and one of the most interesting deals on display is this offer that gets you a free Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus, a free Galaxy Watch 7, AND a free Galaxy Tab S9 FE tablet if you can meet the eligibility requirements. That's over $1,500 worth of free Samsung tech!

Like most Verizon deals, this holiday offer comes with a lot of fine print, but if you can make it work for you, the rewards can be HUGE. For starters, you'll need to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus while adding a line with the Unlimited Ultimate plan. Then you'll need to process a trade-in through Verizon. Once that's said and done, the carrier will hook you up with enough promo credit to make all three devices completely free. You'll still be paying for the admittedly expensive Unlimited Ultimate plan, but that's where your obligation ends.

Verizon is also being pretty generous with its trade-in process for this deal — even old phones will get you the full amount of credit.

Pro tip: score another $50 off when you use the Shop Samsung app

If you like buying devices directly from Samsung, consider downloading the Shop Samsung app. You'll get a straight $50 off your first purchase through the app if you spend $500 or more (or $100 off when you spend $1,500 or more), plus Samsung will occasionally offer exclusive discounts on certain devices when you shop via the app (right now you can get additional savings on the Galaxy S24 Ultra).

You don't have to go through any annoying hassle or sign over your first born when using the app, either, just download it through the Google Play store and start shopping. Thank me later!

Why does the Galaxy Watch Ultra keep getting cheaper?

• Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 47mm (LTE): $649.99 $438 at Amazon

Another day, another discount on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. In a surprising turn of events, the price of the Galaxy Watch Ultra has been dropping on an almost-daily basis during Amazon's Black Friday sale, now hitting a new record low price of $438. How low is the price going to go? It's hard to say, but Black Friday is swiftly approaching.

If you don't want to risk the waiting game, 33% off is a pretty spectacular deal for such a new smartwatch. You'll get peak Samsung performance with a durable build, plenty of onboard storage for music and apps, and up to 100 hours of battery life on a single charge (in Power Saver mode). To learn more, take a peek at our 4.5/5-star Galaxy Watch Ultra review.

What new Black Friday deals can we expect this week?

With all of the Black Friday Samsung deals that are currently available, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this is, well, it.

But in reality, now that we've officially entered Black Friday week, a ton of retailers are launching new batches of holiday deals. Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon have already kicked off a new phase of their Black Friday sales this morning, plus I'm getting word that a lot of wireless carriers will be releasing their own fresh offers this week. If none of the Black Friday deals have caught your eye so far this year, don't worry: your dream discount might be just around the corner.

Needless to say, we'll keep sharing new Black Friday offers throughout the week, so keep checking back for updates.

Mint Mobile gets in on the Black Friday action

• Samsung Galaxy S24 128GB: $800 $620, plus 50% off one year of Unlimited at Mint Mobile

Mint Mobile is known for offering interesting deals on phones and wireless, but it's really pulled out the stops with its Black Friday offerings. Pair the purchase of a Samsung Galaxy S24 with Mint's Unlimited plan and the T-Mobile-owned carrier will slash $180 off the phone and give you 12 months of wireless at 50% off.

In other words, this deal basically amounts to getting a full year of one of our favorite unlimited plans for free, all you need to do is buy the Galaxy S24. Mint's Unlimited plan gives you talk, text, and data on T-Mobile's vast 5G network, plus a free mobile hotspot and calls to Mexico and Canada. Pick up this Black Friday deal today and you won't have to pay another phone bill for a year. That's sounds pretty good to me.

Where can I buy the best Samsung phone cases?

Despite meeting IP68 durability standards and being crafted from sturdy Gorilla Glass, if you just bought a new Samsung Galaxy device, you should probably still consider grabbing a case.

After all, you probably just dropped a considerable amount of cash, so why not protect your investment?

Fortunately, there are a ton of great options for every Samsung phone on the market, and they're all (probably) getting some kind of discount during Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend. To see for yourself, check out the following buying guides and see if our top accessories are on sale yet:

The galaxy's best Samsung Galaxy cases

• Samsung Galaxy S24 cases
• Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus cases
• Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra cases
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 cases
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 cases

A gift for you and a gift for them

• Samsung Galaxy Ring: $399, includes a $50 Amazon gift card

Amazon is giving away $50 Amazon gift cards with the purchase of any Samsung Galaxy Ring during Black Friday week! That lets you choose between the gold, silver, or black colorways so you can match your style, plus get a $50 Amazon gift card to spend on whatever you want — or just drop in someone's stocking for an easy gift this holiday season.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring fits perfectly into the Galaxy ecosystem and works best when paired with a newer Samsung Galaxy phone. Phones like the Galaxy S24 FE — which is at a record-low price of $474 right now — enable Galaxy AI insights on the Galaxy Ring, giving you AI-powered health coaching and sleep tracking. Plus, only Samsung Galaxy phones can use the full power of the find my Ring feature.

Plus, Samsung doesn't require you to pay for a subscription to use the Ring's best features, so this is a one-time purchase that you can use without any added cost in the future!

The best Galaxy Z Fold 6 deal isn't on Amazon, if you can believe it

• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: $1899 $1099 direct from Samsung

Amazon often has the best deals during Black Friday week, but not this time! Buying direct from Samsung gets you the best deal this week, taking a whopping $800 off Samsung's best large foldable phone ever made. That's $221 less than Amazon's best deal today!

The best part is that there's no trade-in required, but you'll need to click the "no trade-in" button on the page to get access to this deal. Once you do that, Samsung cuts $800 off the price instantly INCLUDING the Samsung.com exclusive colors like the carbon fiber one.

Get a new pair of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for under $100

• Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro: $229 $99 at Best Buy

Best Buy has the best price on Samsung's Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, one of the best pair of wireless earbuds ever made! Galaxy Buds 3 Pro may have been released this year but not everyone loves the AirPods-like style of those buds, which makes this deal oh so perfect. Pop them in, turn on ANC, and feel free to ignore everything else around you. They're great for airplane trips and last hours upon hours on a single charge.

This deal is live for both the black and Bora Purple colorways, so you can choose between the two without feeling like you have to sacrifice on style. I've loved using these for years and still prefer the way they look and feel compared to the new Galaxy Buds 3 Pro earbuds.

Give your storage a huge upgrade with the fastest M.2 SSD

• Samsung 990 Pro 1TB M.2 SSD: $159 $92 at Amazon, $99 at Samsung
• Samsung 990 Pro 2TB M.2 SSD: $249 $159 at Amazon, $169 at Samsung
• Samsung 990 Pro 4TB M.2 SSD: $464 $269 at Amazon, $269 at Samsung

Samsung makes the best Android phones, but the brand does so much more, and it is a leader in storage and memory products. The 990 Pro NVMe SSD is among the best available today, and and it is back down to its lowest pricing ahead of Black Friday.

The 990 Pro uses TLC cache, and it comes in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB storage sizes, with all three getting enticing discounts. Built on the PCIe 4.0 standard, you get outstanding transfers of up to 7450MB/s, and it is among the fastest in this regard. There isn't much else to say about the 990 Pro — it has consistently been one of the best choices in this category, and if you need to increase the storage on your PS5 or gaming machine, this is the best time to do so.

Which 'Fan Edition' Samsung phone should you buy?

• Samsung Galaxy S24 FE 256GB: $474.99 at Amazon ✅ Yes, buy this
• Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 256GB: $495 at Amazon ❌ Don't buy this

If you're stuck comparing the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs. Galaxy S23 FE, let me provide a little helpful context.

For starters, it's worth noting that both devices are straightforward and reliable, with particularly great-for-the-price displays, large batteries, and years of guaranteed software support. Both phones also share the same camera hardware and most of the same AI-powered software features. Simply put, if you already own the Galaxy S23 FE, you don't need to rush and upgrade to the newer phone right away.

That being said, if you're planning to buy one of the two phones, let me be clear: the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is absolutely the better device, and it's currently cheaper than its predecessor during the Black Friday sales.

Currently just $474.99 unlocked at Amazon, the Galaxy S24 FE is one of the best midrange phones you can buy 2024, totally smashing the S23 FE with a better processor, more software support, and the entire suite of Galaxy AI software features. The phone also boasts a larger display and an upgrade in battery life over its processor. In other words, there's no reason to consider buying the S23 FE during Black Friday when the S24 FE is this good.

Get a grip with my favorite thin case

• Thinborne Galaxy S24 Ultra case with MagSafe: $69.98 $54.98 at Amazon

Lots of cases look the same, but a Thinborne aramid fiber case will not only make your device stand out, it'll add some much-needed grip to modern slippery phones. The Galaxy S24 Ultra's titanium frame is certainly strong but it's not grippy by any means, and dropping it can still mean the glass breaks even if the metal holds strong.

I have historically preferred to use phones without a case but, as phones continue to get more and more expensive, it's just not economical to keep doing this. That's why I love Thinborne cases! They make the phone super grippy, add some fun style, and even toss in MagSafe compatibility so you can use the best MagSafe accessories. It's a win-win, especially when you can get a rare 21% discount during Black Friday week!

Complete the Galaxy ecosystem with this crazy laptop discount

• Samsung GalaxyBook 4 Edge: $1,349 $799 at Best Buy

While we don't often cover Windows laptops at Android Central, this Samsung GalaxyBook 4 Edge is a special exception. While it runs Windows 11 — which means all your normal PC apps and games work just fine — it's powered by the new Snapdragon X Elite processor and has special Galaxy tie-ins with Samsung Galaxy phones and earbuds.

That includes being able to easily share your phone's display and even apps to your PC, sharing a clipboard for easy copying/pasting between devices, and even using your phone as a high-quality webcam if you want an extra point of view. The laptop can even read and summarize all your text messages and notifications, meaning you can focus more on work and less getting distracted by social media on your phone.

This $500 off deal is seriously incredible and makes the best version of the GalaxyBook 4 $100 less than the mid-range entry. Now that's a great Black Friday deal!

Level up your gaming with this 49-inch OLED monitor

• Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 49-inch 144Gz Gaming Monitor: $1,299 $899 at Samsung (includes free 2TB 990 Pro M.2 drive)

Samsung has one of the best deals around if you're looking to pick up a curved OLED gaming monitor. The Odyssey OLED G9 has a massive 49-inch panel, and the vibrant OLED panel combined with the sheer size makes this the ultimate gaming upgrade.

The monitor has a QHD resolution, and as it is an ultrawide, you get increased horizontal density of 5120 x 1440. The curved design makes it that much more immersive, and 144Hz refresh means you can unlock high framerates in demanding games provided you have a decent video card. It has HDMI 2.1, Micro HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C connectivity, and honestly, there isn't much missing on this panel.

As an added bonus, Samsung is throwing in a 2TB 990 Pro M.2 drive with the package, and that's a $159 value on its own. So if you're mulling a monitor upgrade and haven't picked up anything yet, the OLED G9 is a fantastic choice at $899.

Samsung's best OLED TV is down to an all-time low

• Samsung S85D 55-Inch OLED TV: $1,699 $999 at Samsung
• Samsung S95D 65-Inch OLED TV: $3,399 $2,299 at Samsung
• Samsung S95D 77-Inch OLED TV: $4,599 $3,499 at Samsung

If you haven't made the switch to an OLED TV just yet, now is the time to do so. Samsung has exciting discounts on all of its OLED TVs, with sizes starting at 55 inches and going up to 77 inches.

The 55-inch S85D is a great starting point, and coming in at $999, it isn't too costly. If you've got a bigger budget, the 65-inch S95D would be my pick; the S95D is Samsung's latest range, and it has increased brightness, better color vibrancy, no glare, and goes up to 144Hz — making it a great choice with gaming consoles. While it is still costly at $2,299, you're getting a $1,100 discount on its usual retail price, and that's a terrific deal.

Samsung's latest Chromebook can be had for under $100!

• Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus: $699 $599, or from $99 at Samsung

Until this year, we wondered whether Samsung had given up on Chromebooks. The company hadn't released a new option in almost two years, but it turns out that we didn't have anything to worry about thanks to the Galaxy Chromebook Plus reveal.

Not only does it have a beautiful 15.6-inch AMOLED display, but the Galaxy Chromebook Plus is also the thinnest Chromebook out there. With it being ultra-thin, it's also incredibly light, making it a fantastic travel companion.

Normally, the Galaxy Chromebook Plus retails for $699, putting it right alongside the likes of the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714. However, Samsung has an unbelievable Black Friday deal running that lets you get its latest Chromebook for under $100!

• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6: was $1,099 now $749.99 at Amazon

In a world where smartphone screens continue to get bigger and bigger, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is a breath of fresh air. It's already one of the more affordable flagship phones out there, and for Black Friday, you can save $350.

When unfolded, you're presented with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, complete with a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 2640 x 1080 (FHD+) resolution. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 also makes use of Qualcomm's excellent Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and is paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage.

Although you'll probably spend a lot of time using the main display, the cover screen continues to be improved. It's even possible to use apps without needing to unfold your phone, adding another layer of versatility to this excellent smartphone.

• Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (40mm): $299.99 $202.60 at Amazon
• Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (44mm): $329.99 $247.48 at Amazon

And we have a new low price for the Galaxy Watch 7!

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 just hit a new low price of $202.60 at Amazon! Samsung's newest and best smartwatch doesn't mess around and neither does this sale.

This year, Samsung added some seriously incredible new features like medicine interaction warnings and a daily energy score. A new set of health sensors underneath record heart rate, stress, and other health data better than ever, and pairing the Galaxy Watch 7 with a newer Samsung phone delivers Galaxy AI-powered health suggestions to help you get the most out of wearing a smartwatch all day.

It's also got a new set of gestures that "work like magic," as we pointed out in our review. In particular, being able to reach out and double-pinch to select menu items or notifications when your hands are busy is a spectacular feature we wish we had all along. But don't wait! This deal won't be around for long, so if you were thinking of getting a new smartwatch this year, there's no reason to look further.

• Samsung Galaxy Ring: $399 with $50 Best Buy gift card

Finally! The Galaxy Ring just got its first discount

The Samsung Galaxy Ring was more popular than Samsung expected and that led to its price holding firm even leading up to Black Friday. But Best Buy couldn't resist being the, ahem, best buy, so it's tossing in a $50 Best Buy gift card with every Galaxy Ring purchase.

If you don't know your ring size, you can head down to your local Best Buy and get your finger sized. Just make sure to call first to be sure your store has a sizing kit available. Otherwise, you can order a sizing kit separately. My local store only has two of these left so make sure to jump on that ASAP if you need it!

Buying direct from Samsung is sometimes the best bet

• Galaxy S24 128GB: $799 $699 at Samsung
• Galaxy S24 Plus 256GB: $999 $724 at Samsung
• Galaxy S24 Ultra 512GB (free storage upgrade): $1419 $949 at Samsung

Some of the best Black Friday deals are at Best Buy or Amazon, but Samsung itself is giving those retailers a run for their money with the Galaxy S24 family. All three models — the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra — are on deep discount from Samsung as the company tries to make room for the upcoming Galaxy S25 line.

The Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus are all about $20 cheaper than Amazon when you buy direct from Samsung. That even includes the special Samsung.com exclusive colors!

The real gem of a deal is the Galaxy S24 Ultra, though, which not only gets you a free 512GB upgrade but ends up being $470 off in total. Samsung offers free shipping, extra warranty options, and better direct customer service for its own phones, so it makes sense to go with them. It's a win-win-win!

Best Buy coming in clutch while Amazon runs out of stock

• Samsung 980 Pro 1TB: $154.99 $89.99 at Best Buy
• Samsung 980 Pro 2TB: $219.99 $119.99 at Best Buy

Looking to give your PS5 or PC some more storage this year? Amazon previously only had the 2TB model on sale and just sold out, but look who is coming in clutch to save the day! That's right, Best Buy just dropped the price of both the 1TB and 2TB models of the Samsung 980 Pro, the SSD I called "the best PS5 SSD yet" when it came out in 2022.

A wicked fast 1TB SSD for under $100 is already a crazy good deal, but the 2TB model for nearly half price is the biggest steal right now. That's plenty of space to install any game you want — yes, even the latest Call of Duty games with all the add-ons — and it's faster than the internal storage of the PS5, to boot.

Don't wait though! Amazon ran out of stock and there's no telling how many Best Buy has left.

If you're picking up a cheap tablet, make sure to pick the right one

• Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+: $269.99 $199.99 at Amazon

Seriously, who names Samsung tablets? It's a land of confusion but we've done the homework and head bashing for you so you can make an informed decision without all the pain. At $199, the Black Friday tablet deal to get is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ which comes with 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, a 90Hz display, and a processor that'll get the job done.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 inside is perfect for playing great tablet games like A Little to the Left with, and with 8GB of RAM you'll be able to multitask without any problems. If 128GB of storage isn't enough, a handy microSD card slot lets you add several terabytes of storage for saving movies or whatever else you need for long flights.

Samsung has also discounted its Galaxy Tab S9 Lite (2024 model) down to $199, but we don't recommend that model unless you really need the S Pen. It's got half the RAM, a 60Hz display, and a slower processor, to boot.

An even BETTER Galaxy Watch Ultra deal just popped up

• Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (orange): $649 $434 at Amazon

The best Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra Black Friday deal stopped at $449, but Amazon is looking to get rid of some stock today and dropped the price even further for the orange colorway. As of this writing, Amazon only had 9 of the orange watches in stock, and they won't last long with that $434 price!

I don't know about you, but it's a pretty happy accident to miss a sale and wake up the next day only to find out it dropped another $15 off overnight. Ready to get the best Android smartwatch money can buy? That's the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

Get last year's watch for half the price

• Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 40mm: $299.99 $139.99 at Amazon
• Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 44mm: $329.99 $159.99 at Amazon

The difference between each year's smartwatch models is becoming less and less pronounced. Samsung barely spent any time talking about the Galaxy Watch 7 during its unveiling this year and that should tell you quite a bit. It's not a terribly exciting product because Samsung had a hard time improving over the already excellent Galaxy Watch 6, and now you can get the fantastic Watch 6 for half price even after Black Friday.

Choose between your preferred size — either 40mm or 44mm — and the graphite colorway is yours for dirt cheap. A ton of our favorite Galaxy Watch 6 bands are also on sale this weekend, so you can accessorize the heck out of that beautiful new watch and still stay in budget.

• Samsung Galaxy S24 FE 128GB: $649.99 FREE with new line at Verizon

Looking for a good deal from your phone company this Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend? Check out this offer that gives you the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE for FREE when you add a line with an eligible data plan at Verizon. No trade-in required!

Sure, sure, you've heard offers like this before ("Yeah, but they want me to pay for MOST EXPENSIVE data plan!"). This offer stands out because all three of Verizon's most popular Unlimited plans are eligible: the Unlimited Ultimate, Unlimited Plus, AND the entry-level Unlimited Welcome plans will all get you the $649.99 of promo credit needed to make the S24 FE completely free. That's a Samsung deal worth celebrating.

So long Black Friday, it's Cyber Monday's time to shine

Black Friday may have ended, but that simply means that the Cyber Monday sales are just now beginning to heat up. Whether you missed the festivities on Friday or you simply want to do some last-minute holiday shopping before the discounts expire, we'll continue updating this guide with new Samsung deals for as long as they're available. Who knows? You might even find some epic discounts that make Black Friday look like child's play.

Who made the better flagship phone in 2024: Google or Samsung?

• Samsung Galaxy S24 128GB: $799.99 $659.99 at Amazon
• Google Pixel 9 128GB: $799 $548.98 at Amazon

If you're trying to buy a great Android phone during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, you might be faced with an all too familiar dilemma: Google Pixel or Samsung?

We've created a ton of articles addressing that very question (I'll link a few of them below for your perusal), but whether you choose the Samsung Galaxy S24 or the Google Pixel 9, you can rest easy knowing that you're getting a great device with more similarities than differences under the hood. Both phones feature seven years of guaranteed OS/security upgrades with AI features and blazingly-fast performance, so the decision will ultimately come down to which design appeals to you the most and, of course, which device is getting the better Cyber Monday deal.

Samsung's most popular phone is now cheaper than ever (and cheaper than Amazon)

• Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (256GB): $1,299 $899 at Samsung

Cyber Monday is all about online retailers, and while you'd expect Amazon to have the best deal on a day like today, it's actually Samsung itself that's offering up an offer we can't resist. Samsung's most popular phone, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, is now available for $899 unlocked when you buy direct from Samsung.

That's $50 less than Amazon's best price for the 256GB model and represents the lowest price we've seen for the S24 Ultra this year — yes, even lower than Black Friday! The Galaxy S24 Ultra was $949 for Black Friday and included a free 512GB upgrade from Samsung, but I'd personally rather save $50. There are many reasons to use Google Photos for cloud storage and one is that you can buy the cheaper model and never worry about filling it up.

The best deal from Samsung is on the Samsung.com exclusive colors. I've got my eye on that snazzy orange model, personally, but you can also choose from a fresh green variety or a lovely sky blue. The rest of the colors are $50 more, so it's better to choose the more interesting ones in this case.

Get a Galaxy S24 PLUS for less than a Galaxy S24

• Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus: $999 $724.99 at Samsung

Usually when there's a "plus" in the name of a product, it means it's more expensive than the one without. On Cyber Monday, however, Samsung is turning the tables and making the Galaxy S24 Plus $35 cheaper than the Galaxy S24 and it has me scratching my head a bit.

Usually, the Plus model of any Galaxy S phone is the second-best seller, with the smaller model coming in at a distant third. Apparently, though, Samsung is trying to move a bunch of S24 Plus units ahead of the Galaxy S25 launch and is willing to undercut its own models to do it. Grab this one before Samsung realizes their mistake!

Is this a fire sale, or just an epic Galaxy Z Fold 6 deal? Either way, it's crazy good.

• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: $1,899 $1,099 at Samsung

The best Samsung Cyber Monday deal we've seen so far is $800 off the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. With a normally astronomical price of $1,899, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 crashes down to just $1,099 for the next few hours as Cyber Monday deals continue to blow us away. We thought for sure Samsung would end this one after Black Friday, but the company is still keeping it going and sweetening the deal with two Samsung.com exclusive colors to choose from.

While you're saving some cash, do yourself a favor and pick up the Slim S Pen case for $42 and complete the ultimate note-taking machine.

Download more games, movies, apps, and more with a cheap microSD card

• Samsung EVO Select microSD 256GB: $21.99 $17.99 at Amazon
• Samsung EVO Select microSD 512GB: $39.00 $32.99 at Amazon

Whether you just picked up a Galaxy A9+ tablet for cheap or are looking to add more storage to your Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch, the Samsung EVO Select is the right microSD card choice on Cyber Monday. For under $20, you can add 256GB of FAST storage — we're talking 160MB/s! — that'll let you store more of what you want to watch or play without running out of room.

These tiny little memory cards are great for so many things and, because they're so fast, are perfect for any piece of electronics you've got that accepts them. Grab hundreds of gigs for just a few bucks today only!

When do the Cyber Monday sales end?

Most of the biggest Cyber Monday sales on the web are set to expire at midnight tonight EST. If we're lucky, some sales will continue through the week (some retailers have been calling it "Cyber Week") so we'll keep monitoring the situation and updating you as we learn more.

In the meantime, if you're planning to make a big purchase on tech this holiday season, I wouldn't much longer: Android deals this good aren't likely to reappear until next year (if ever), and big-ticket devices are already starting to sell out all across the web.

And that's a wrap, folks!!

Cyber Monday has come to an end, which means I'm going to wrap up our live deal coverage (for now). Thanks for sticking with us through all of Black Friday and Cyber Monday festivities, and I hope you were able to get your hands on a sweet new device for the holiday season.

Didn't find a Samsung deal yet? Fear not — the live updates may have stopped, but I'll continue adding new deals to this guide through the end of the year. After all, Christmas is just around the corner, and you never know what kind of wild Samsung deals might appear.
