Summer is nearing its end, and while there has been no shortage of great back-to-school deals, Samsung has been pretty quiet in the sale department — until now. Whether you're a parent shopping for a kid or heading back to campus for fall semester, all of the best deals in Samsung's back-to-school sale can be found below.

I'm talking about back-to-school discounts like up to $1,500 off the new Galaxy Z Fold 6 when you trade in an old device, or a free storage upgrade when you buy the Galaxy Z Flip 6. There are also some sweet deals on earbuds, laptops, and smartwatches. Suffice it to say, if you're hoping to head back to class in style, one of the Samsung deals below will hook it up.
