This deal was a little better during the Discover Samsung spring sale, but the $20 difference is negligible. We still think $720 is a good deal for the Samsung Galaxy S24 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) that launched in January. The phones have great performance, a day’s worth of battery life (or more), and stunning displays. There are clever and fun software features, and while we think the design is a little uninspired, the phones are available in stylish colors. This entry-level model will serve most people just fine. Be sure to protect your new purchase with one of these great cases for the S24.
The price of 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 6.2-inch screen on the base S24 model, making it a better choice if you prefer more space for your smartphones. It also has a larger battery, more RAM, and a higher base storage capacity than its smaller sibling. Read more about their differences and similarities in our buying guide. We’ve tested a lot of Galaxy S24 cases; these are our favorites.
Rounding out the S24 discounts is this deal, which doubles the previous price drops we’ve seen in this sale and makes it a lot more attractive than what we’ve tracked in the past. It’s the largest phone in the lineup, and it’s 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 keep in mind 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 — just don’t forget a phone case!
That’s close to the best price we’ve ever recorded for this phone (it was marked down by another $100 last Black Friday), but if you’re spending four digits, that difference isn’t necessarily going to help you make up your mind. The Z Fold5 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a sleek smartphone that opens 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 wish the front display was a bit wider.

This deal beats previous discounts we’ve seen for this model by about $10. The Galaxy Tab S9 series (7/10, WIRED review) is packed with some of the best Android tablets out there, but they’re typically overpriced. The hardware is excellent, from the bright displays to the included S Pen stylus, and Samsung’s security updates and Android OS upgrades will keep the device fresh for years. The discount makes now a smarter time to buy if you’re interested, with the important caveat that we think this base model is the worst in the series and suggest you go with the cheaper model. Tab S9+ (on sale for $823, almost $300 off) or the S9 Ultra if you can afford it.
The S9+, which is $80 off last year’s discount, 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 display has enough room for most tasks, and this model in the S9 series comes with 12 gigabytes of RAM compared to the base S9’s 8 gigabytes. Since both are on sale right now, we think this option is the better buy. Read more in our review.
We see deals on other models in the S9 line regularly, but finding a discount on the Tab S9 Ultra is a tougher task. This is the best discount we’ve seen, and the deal is even better if you have a device to trade in. We wish there was a cellular connectivity option instead of just Wi-Fi, but if that’s not a deal breaker, this luxury tablet is worth a look. The screen is huge, measuring nearly 15 inches, and fast displays and best-in-class performance round it all out. If you don’t need a gigantic screen, the Tab S9 Ultra is a great value. S9+ on sale for $823 It is cheaper and easier to use as a portable device.
Smartwatch and earphone deals

This is the best price we’ve seen for the Galaxy Buds2 Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends). It only beats the previous best price by six bucks. But still! A win’s a win. These earbuds are supremely comfortable and come in several different stylish colors. They also have excellent noise cancellation and high-quality sound both while listening and on calls. They’re our favorite earbuds for Samsung owners.
We’ve seen this price before, and we’ll likely see it again, but it’s still the lowest discount we’ve ever recorded for the Galaxy Watch6. We reviewed the Watch6 Classic (7/10, WIRED Recommends), which has a rotating mechanical bezel. The Watch6 on sale is bezel-less, but is otherwise pretty similar. It comes with Wear OS 4 and has most of the same health and fitness tracking features as an Apple Watch. It’s important to note that it only works with Android phones, and the EKG and irregular heart rate notifications only work when the watch is paired with a Samsung phone.

Not everyone needs or wants a CoPilot+ PC, but if you’re looking for an AI-powered computer, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge (8/10, WIRED recommends) is the one to buy. The 16-inch touchscreen is gorgeous, though the laptop struggles with graphics performance, and battery life tops out at 14 hours per charge. The main reason to buy this laptop would be for the AI-powered 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 haven’t seen it go any lower than it is now. This small projector offers up to 100 inches of screen space and also features a built-in smart interface and gaming hub. It’s compatible with dedicated USB-C power banks for added portability.
