Amazon’s Black Friday Week starts on Thursday, but the retailer is already offering early deals – and it’s not the only one. Earlier this week, we looked at deals from Samsung US.
Now Amazon is matching at least some of those. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S25+ is $838 (or $850, depending on which color you want), which is the same price as on Samsung US with the instant discount. The Samsung offer has an alternative option – trade-in credit instead of a discount.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge continues to be cheaper than the S25+, even though their MSRPs are the other way around. The Edge just has a massive discount and it works out to $240 cheaper if you go for the 512GB models. For an in-depth comparison check out this article.
Amazon beats Samsung US’ offer on the Galaxy Z Fold7 – you get a 512GB variant for the price of a 256GB one. Samsung’s trade-in offer is better, though, with credit going up to $1,000 (compared to up to $600 from Amazon).
With no interesting offers on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 (you can get up to $600 trade-in credit from Samsung US, but that’s about it), we turn to Motorola’s flip foldables.
The whole 2025 lineup is discounted, starting from the Motorola Razr 2025. There’s only a $100 upcharge for going up to the Moto Razr+ 2025, though, and it may be worth it. You get a much more powerful chipset (Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 vs. Dimensity 7400X) with more RAM to boot (12GB vs. 8GB). The battery is smaller but the more efficient hardware lasts longer (10:12h vs. 9:28h Active Use Score) and charging is faster (45W/15W vs. 30W/15W).
There’s also the flagship Motorola Razr Ultra 2025, but that’s a bigger jump in price. It has the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with even more RAM and storage (16GB and 512GB), plus a larger 4,700mAh battery with even faster charging (68W wired and 30W wireless).
We looked at M5-powered iPad Pros a couple of weeks ago and those are still very much worth a look. But also consider the M4 models, which are a year older. The chipset is just about the only difference worth mentioning (unless you have a Wi-Fi 7 router), so you might be better off saving some cash with the older M4 models.
Speaking of older tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ is from last year. It has a 12.4” 120Hz OLED display and is powered by the Dimensity 9300+. iPadOS has made some strides in improving multitasking in recent versions, but DeX is still better overall.
The Garmin Venu X1 is Garmin’s attempt to take on the Apple Watch. If it wasn’t clear from the square-ish shape (Garmins are usually round), the slender 7.9mm build should be a clue (the Apple Watch Series 11 is 2mm thicker). The Venu X1 has up to 8 days of battery life, easily outlasting even the Watch Ultra from Apple and offers a 2” OLED display with a sapphire lens.
The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e over-ear headphones feature 24-bit DSP processing and custom 40mm drivers. They are equipped with 6 microphones for active noise cancellation (ANC).
For TWS buds, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) are on offer this week. They offer great ANC and are comfortable to wear. For the sake of convenience, they have multi-point connectivity and wireless charging.
