All of today’s best deals are now unfolding, with a rare chance to score an all-time low on Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 at $450. Speaking of the best prices ever, Samsung’s Galaxy Chromebook 2 is now down to $343 today, as well. You can also still lock in a $50 gift card with the just-released Google Pixel 7a, which began shipping last week at $499. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 returns to all-time low at $450 off
With reports that Samsung’s latest generation of foldable smartphones will be hitting shelves a month early, Amazon is now rolling out the best prices of the year on the latest foldable to actually ship. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 first hit the scene last year with an $1,800 price tag. Now, it’s on sale for $1,350 across all four styles of the unlocked 256GB 5G model. That $450 price cut delivers the lowest we’ve seen this year at $50 below our previous offers from earlier in the spring. This is the best since Black Friday, matching the all-time low set only once before.
Samsung’s latest-generation flagship foldable arrives as the new Galaxy Z Fold 4. Now an even better value several months after being revealed last fall, everything comes powered by the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, which is packed into a 7.6-inch display. The familiar folding form factor still packs a secondary 6.2-inch screen on the outside, both of which have a taller aspect ratio this time around. And speaking of! There’s a new under-display selfie camera that you can learn all about in our hands-on review.
Samsung’s Galaxy Chromebook 2 lands at best price ever
Amazon now offers the latest Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 64GB/4GB for $343. Normally fetching $550, you’re looking at a new all-time low $207 in savings attached. This is well under the previous $360 sale price and landing on sale for one of the first times this year. The flashier Fiesta Red style is also on sale and now clocks in at $345.
Samsung’s latest Galaxy Chromebook 2 arrives with a 13.3-inch 4K QLED touchscreen display that’s backed by a folding 2-in-1 design. That lets you convert it between a typical laptop form factor and a tablet for doing everything from typing out papers to watching Netflix just about anywhere. You’ll find Wi-Fi 6 support and a backlit keyboard, as well, with the added perk of microSD and two USB-C ports. You can get a closer look at it in our launch coverage.
Google Pixel 7a now shipping for $499 with a bundled $50 gift card
Google just took to the stage in Mountain View, California, to reveal a series of new devices last week, and today, the savings are here. The all-new Pixel 7a began shipping right after the keynote, delivering a new and more affordable alternative to Google’s flagship handsets. Now courtesy of Amazon, you can bring home the A series smartphone for $499 while scoring a $50 gift card along the way. This is the first chance to save on an all-new handset, especially one that is already as good of a value as they come.
Google’s new Pixel 7a arrives as the latest version of the brand’s attempt to repackage last year’s phones into a more affordable device. This time around, we’ve found that the Pixel 7a makes no compromises even with the more affordable price tag, delivering a 6.1-inch 1080p display backed by a 90Hz refresh rate. All of the usual Pixel niceties are making the cut, with the Tensor G2 chip powering the experience. There’s an upgraded 64 MP camera that comes backed by a 13 MP ultrawide companion and a 4,385mAh battery to round out the package. We just reviewed the device over at 9to5Google, where we walked away quite impressed.
Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 ANC earbuds are 9to5 favorites at $299
Released earlier in the year, the new Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 quickly went on to become my favorite pair of earbuds on the market right now. There was really just one problem – that steep $399 MSRP. Amazon today is helping make the new releases a touch more affordable, with one of the very first discounts landing on the Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 earbuds at $299 shipped. Available in just the Canvas White style, today’s offer saves you $100 and marks a new all-time low in the process of going on sale for only the second time.
Justifying that high-end price tag, the Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 arrive with some capable dual hybird drivers that are backed by aptX audio and some of the best ANC available in the true wireless form-factor. There’s at least 4 hours of listening per charge before it’s time to drop them in the Qi-enabled charging case which also doubles as an audio transmitter for using the earbuds with anything you can plug a 3.5mm cable into from computers to in-flight entertainment systems and more. Our hands-on review from earlier in the spring further explores just what to expect from sound quality and overall functionality if you’re not sold yet, too.
Shargeek’s popular STORM2 Slim transparent power bank at $135
Retro tech has taken the whole industry by storm as of late, and at the center of it all are some of the popular releases from Shargeek. Earlier in the year we reviewed its recent STORM2 Slim power bank, walking away impressed by not just the transparent design, but also how much power it was able to pack into a compact footprint. Now you can bring all of the prowess that has taken over TikTok and the rest of the web to your bag at lower than before.
The Shargeek STORM2 Slim sells for $135 at Amazon, down from the usual $199 going rate. It’s the best we’ve seen to date at 32% off, and clocks in at a few cents below our previous March mention. Sporting a 20,000mAh internal battery, the STORM2 Slim packs a 130W output into a slick, see-through form-factor. There’s a single USB-C port that can dish out power to MacBooks and iPhones alike, which also handles refueling the internal battery. A built-in display rounds out the package for monitoring remaining battery life or current power draw. Dive into our Tested with 9to5Toys review from the start of the year for a closer look.
