$300 Off Galaxy S8 Best Buy

Christmas is just a few days away, so retailers are seriously discounting their tech in a last-ditch effort to earn your business before the holiday officially hits. This means that we're finally seeing some truly historic deals, such as this offer from Amazon that slashes a whopping 33% off (opens in new tab) the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus, our pick for the best Android tablet that money can buy.

$300 off galaxy s8 best buy

This discount makes the tablet cheaper than it's ever been by far, even clobbering the best offers that we saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For just $599.99, you're getting a premium Android tablet (our #1 favorite, as a matter of fact) that comes complete with a stunning AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, ultra-efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, and a massive 10,090mAh battery that'll easily last up to 10 hours on a single charge with vigorous use. It even comes with an S Pen stylus. Sure, the 12.4-inch display may be a little big for some folks, but if you want a versatile tablet with the power of a laptop, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus might be exactly what you need.

Unfortunately, as we mentioned above, this discounted tablet won't arrive by Christmas. If you need a last-minute gift to put under the tree, your best bet is to check out Best Buy's Last Chance Christmas sale, where the retailer is discounting a bunch of their most popular tech, from TVs to smartphones. The majority of that sale will expire tomorrow, however, so act fast.

Walmart has the best deal so far, offering $300 off in the form of a gift card for the coveted iPhone X, which starts at $999, as well as the 8 and 8 Plus and last year's 7 and 7 Plus. The catch is that you need to sign a two-year lease deal with wireless carriers AT&T or Verizon.

It wasn't too long ago that 5G was a feature that could only be had in the best and brightest flagships from the leading smartphone manufacturers. Now, things have reached the point where the latest generation of connectivity is coming to devices that are almost as cheap as phones were back in the halcyon days of carrier-subsidized $200 flagships. These aren't from no-name makers, or from Chinese smartphone brands that may or may not lose access to Google Play at any moment from rising political tensions, either.

The Galaxy A13 is Samsung's best crack yet at retaining 5G functionality while reaching down into the bargain-basement pricing tier. It's part of the same line as the also-excellent, though quite a bit pricier, A51 on this list. Of course, that price difference shows itself in their respective spec lists, with the worst of the concessions found in the A13 likely being its mediocre CPU, display resolution, and last-gen front-facing camera. Still, if getting into the 5G game is your main goal, and your budget is tight, the A13 provides a shockingly low entry point from one of the most popular smartphone makers in the world.

Right now, the best cheap 5G phone is the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G based on our analysis of display, performance, battery life, and price. The device offers one of the best display experiences you can get from sub-$450 phones and offers 5G support with most major carriers.

However, we also realize not all needs are the same. For some, you might need a more affordable phone that wields a large display and decent camera. The table below shows how the best cheap 5G phones compare on price, camera capabilities, and battery capacity.

The process to make our smartphone selections includes testing the phones for weeks, reading reviews from other websites and publications, researching reviewer guides and manufacturer websites, talking with colleagues and other users who have hands-on experience with the smartphones, and then selecting the best from all of the available choices.

Though the Galaxy S8 debuted as Samsung's flagship two years ago, it's still one of the best Android phones you can own today. With its immersive display, excellent performance and battery life, the S8 is also one of the best Android phones you can get.

The eCommerce giant has the Galaxy S8 (opens in new tab) unlocked for $359 ($140 off), whereas the S8+ (opens in new tab) is selling for $381 ($200 off). Both are significantly cheaper than Samsung's direct price, so Amazon is your best bet.

The Echo Show 8 is our pick for the best smart display, providing an easy way to hop on video calls, fire up some Netflix or get recipe ideas from Alexa. It's a great addition to the home at this all-time low price.

We named the Eero 6 mesh router, with its foolproof setup process and nearly unrivaled speeds and coverage areas, as your best bet when opting for a mesh router. Every model is close to its lowest price yet right now, starting at just $75 for the base router.

The MacBook Air M1 was our longtime best laptop pick, thanks to its incredible performance, and while it's since been replaced by the faster M2 model, it's still an incredible bargain at this lowest-ever price.

Unless you want a gadget on both of your wrists (not the best look), you should pick a smartwatch that also works as a fitness tracker. Most smartwatches are capable of tracking basic activity, like steps, but you need to pay close attention to additional features.

If you were sold on 120Hz displays, new camera setups with up to 100x Space Zoom, larger batteries, and all of the other goods that Samsung packed into the Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra, your best deals are about to go live. Most of the time, the pre-order period offers the biggest discounts, best trade values, and most impressive list of freebies. That appears to be the case again with the S20.

Can you repair a phone that wasn't bought at Best Buy?In most cases, yes. At this time, however, we are unable to perform repairs on phones from outside of the United States. To see if your phone qualifies for a repair, it is best to check your model number. If it ends in A, V, T, P or U (U1 for Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ and newer), we should be able to work on it, as a general guideline.

There is no debating that Black Friday is one of the best times to buy a cell phone. All of the major carriers, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint and AT&T offer huge incentives and discounts for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Most of the cell phone manufacturers introduce new models in late summer and early fall, so their devices ride a wave a media hype directly into the holiday shopping season, so we are expecting some great deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2020.

We expect to see many of the same types of deals this for Black Friday 2018, but keep a sharp eye out for flash and short notice sales too. All the major manufactures introduced new models including the Galaxy Note 9, S9, S9 Plus, Note 8, iPhone X, Huawei P20, LG G7 THINQ, just to name a few. There are already a lot of good deals available on these devices those will certainly continue.We except the best saving to be on the top end models like the Note 9 and iPhone X, that should come as no surprise because they carry the heftiest price tags too. As carriers battle it out for market share some of the best saving will be for consumers that are looking to change carriers. Our suggestion for getting the best cell phone deal this Black Friday 2018:

The best deals usually require flexibility as to the phone carrier.There has been a lot of competition between Sprint and Verizon to sign customers to 2-year contracts.In some cases, they have been willing to pay hundreds in switch fees. 041b061a72
