Should you buy a new phone when the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8 are officially confirmed to see daylight in under two weeks, followed by Google’s Pixel 11 family less than a month later?
How about a new tablet when Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S12 series is evidently right around the corner and Apple is rumored to be preparing at least two upgraded iPads for announcements by the end of this year as well? Or a smartwatch just a few weeks ahead of the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 launch?
Well, why not? If the price is right and the product scratches an itch, who cares what’s on the horizon? After all, there’s no such thing as a perfect time to get a new mobile device or accessory, as a “next big thing” will always make you doubt your decision… if you let it. If you don’t, here are the best deals you can find today on some of the best phones, tablets, smartwatches, and wireless headphones money can buy:
These top three offers are simply outstanding
I don’t think I can stress enough how foolish it would be to wait for Samsung’s overpriced new foldables when the perfectly acceptable Galaxy Z Fold 7 is on sale at $500 less than usual with no obligatory device trade-in, Amazon Prime membership, or any other special requirements.
“Perfectly acceptable”, of course, might be the humblest way to describe probably the best foldable phone available right now in the US, which the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra isn’t even going to upgrade in that many noticeable ways based on the latest leaks and gossip.
And here are ten other hard-to-resist smartphone deals!
Is it fair and objective to label all these offers as irresistible or unmissable? I don’t think so. But once again, the Razr Ultra (2025) stands ahead of the pack at a towering $700 discount, closely followed by the newer and yet humbler Razr (2026) and Razr Plus (2026) foldables at record low (and somewhat random) prices.
The newly reduced price of the Galaxy S26 Plus with 512 gigs of internal storage space is a bit random as well but also extremely attractive, while the lower-end and lower-cost Galaxy S25 FE, Galaxy A57 5G, and Galaxy A37 5G are… honestly not as affordable as they’ve ever been, but still a lot more compelling than usual for hardcore Samsung fans on relatively tight budgets.
Speaking of tight budgets, of course, the Moto G Play (2024), Moto G Play (2026), and Moto G (2026) will battle for the attention of the most financially prudent Android smartphone buyers out there at new discounts that might not seem very hefty… until you remember the current state of the mobile industry. Affordable handsets are not dying, of course, but they are getting less and less affordable, so you should definitely appreciate the opportunity to save around $50 on some of the best budget 5G phones available today.
This week’s top tablet bargains are also worth your time… and money
For the first time in a long time, I’m afraid I don’t have any deeply discounted Apple iPads or Samsung Galaxy Tabs to recommend. Instead, tablet buyers looking for the hottest summer steals will need to settle for one of three Lenovos or a OnePlus Pad Go 2 at a killer price with a cool little freebie bundled in.
That’s… actually not a bad selection at all, and if you can afford it, I definitely recommend the large and stylish Yoga Tab Plus with both a keyboard and stylus included in its heavily reduced price. If you can’t, the Idea Tab Plus is also amazing, sporting a big and sharp screen of its own and shipping alongside a pen for less than 250 bucks.
The three best smartwatch deals today… could be better
Ironically, what makes the Galaxy Watch 8 quite compelling at a $61 discount is the imminent debut of the Galaxy Watch 9, which doesn’t look much better but is likely to start at a slightly higher list price than $349.99. If the same is true for the Apple Watch Series 12 (which I don’t know yet), the Series 11 is also worth considering at $70 under its regular starting price of $399.
These massively discounted headphones are not to be disregarded either
I know that true wireless earbuds and over-ear headphones can sometimes be pushed down to the bottom of your shopping lists by the right smartphone or tablet deal, but the Galaxy Buds 3 FE are far too good to be ignored at $40 off their already reasonable list price, and if you understand the benefit of an open-ear design, the same can certainly be said about the Nothing Ear (open) as well.
As far as the AirPods Max 2 are concerned, you all know why you like them so much, and if you’re going to choose them anyway over Sony or Bose’s best high-end headphones, you might as well do it at a relatively small but notable $52 discount.
