November and December are great times to buy a new phone, and with Black Friday here, now is the best opportunity to score a deal at retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart. Beyond the iPhone, Samsung makes some of the most popular phones in the market, especially with the Galaxy models.
This weekend, you can save big on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, and even the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra at Best Buy.
Save Over 20% Off Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is one of the most expensive phones out there, but you can save over 20% today at Best Buy just in time for Black Friday. On the front, you'll find a 6.2" display, similar to many Samsung phones. However, it's what's inside that makes this phone unique. As the name implies, the Z Fold 5 folds out, revealing a 7.6" screen that's perfect for games, movies, and anything else you can think of.
In our 8/10 review, Jacqueline Thomas wrote, "The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a great phone – at $1,799 it kind of has to be – but it's not without its limits. While this is about as powerful as a smartphone can be, the size and shape of the two displays can make some content a bit awkward to consume. While the crease in the middle of the main display will probably be a distraction for some people. If you can see through that and the high price tag, this is one of the best phones you can buy today, both for work and play."
Save 35% Off Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is our pick for the best smartphone of 2024, with it utilizing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to provide amazing performance for any task. The 6.8" Super AMOLED panel is excellent for both gaming and watching content, with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate supported.
We gave the device a 9/10 in our review, saying, "The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is an incredible smartphone. It might look like yet another Galaxy device, but its titanium chassis and powerful processor makes this a durable gaming phone that can outrace the best of them."
Save Over 45% Off Samsung Galaxy S24 FE
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE just released last month, but it's already on sale for only $349.99. This is an incredible deal for the value, with the FE offering many of the features you can find on the S24 Ultra. While you still have a Super AMOLED panel, the resolution of the display is only 1080p, compared to 1440p on the Ultra. Additionally, the FE only has 8GB of RAM, a smaller battery, and lower megapixel cameras.
Above all, the biggest difference between the S24 Ultra and S24 FE is the processor. While the Ultra packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the FE uses the Exynos 2400e. Don't expect the performance of the Ultra here, but you should have no problem using any games and apps. Overall, the FE is an excellent choice if you're wanting to save a lot on a great phone.
