Did you miss Amazon’s Prime Day sales? Well, it’s now Black Friday and the prices have been reduced again – except this time you don’t need a Prime subscription to participate. Here are some of the best deals we found on Amazon US.
Of the big brands, Samsung and OnePlus wanted to participate the most. There were a few Pixel 7 deals, but by the time we got to them, all units were sold out (same goes for the Pixel Watch).
Samsung offers a choice of foldable and rigid flagships. If you prefer the latter, you can pick up a Galaxy S22 Ultra for under $1,000. Also, the Galaxy S22+ is priced the same as the vanilla S22 (MSRP is $200 higher) due to a higher discount.
There’s also the Galaxy S21 FE if the S22 series is out of your budget. It’s still a flagship phone (even if the Snapdragon 888 wasn’t the best) and it’ll still get flagship software support.
Next the foldables. The Galaxy Z Fold4 is still pretty expensive, no question about it. Its clamshell counterpart, the Galaxy Z Flip4, is now only $800, not far behind the S22/S22+.
If you are in the tablet market, you can choose between high-end and low-end models. The Galaxy Tab S8 is an 11-inch slate with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and a 120Hz LCD display. Need more space? The Tab S8+ goes up to a 12.4-inch 120Hz AMOLED display (same chipset). Both have microSD slots, but we’d probably still get the 256GB versions (they’re $30 and $50 more, respectively).
The Galaxy Tab S7 FE uses a weaker chipset, a Snapdragon 778G for this Wi-Fi model, but is cheaper than the S8 duo and offers a 12.4-inch LCD (albeit 60Hz).
You can also buy a keyboard cover that’s compatible with the Tab S8+ and S7 FE (it’s for 12.4-inch tablets, so won’t fit the vanilla Tab S8).
If you just want a cheap tablet, the Galaxy Tab A8 10.5 is a no-frills tablet for $150. It still has an FHD+ (16:10) display and quad speakers, so it’s a great choice for streaming.
The latest Samsung Galaxy Watch5 costs $230 for a 40mm model and $260 for a 44mm model (both Wi-Fi only). There’s no rotating bezel, but this one has a bigger battery with faster charging than the Watch4.
Next comes OnePlus. The 10T packs a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which is faster and more efficient than the original 8 Gen 1 in the Samsungs. This phone is cheaper too, $600 for a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, and it supports 125W fast charging.
The company also offers some 5G phones at cheap prices. The Nord N20 5G is probably a better bet at $230 with an AMOLED (60Hz) display and Snapdragon 695. It has more RAM and storage to boot. The Nord N200 costs $50 less but has a 90Hz LCD and a Snapdragon 480. Its battery is slightly larger (5,000mAh vs. 4,500mAh) but charges more slowly (18W vs. 33W).
Finally, a couple of TWS buds — the $80 OnePlus Buds Pro or the $50 Buds Z2. Both have active noise cancellation and similar battery life. We tested both and found the Z2 to be a bit more comfortable as they are smaller, although everyone’s ears are different.
hp Keep in mind that Cyber ​​Monday is coming in a few days, which tends to have more electronics deals (hence the name). If you didn’t find anything you like above, check back on Monday.
