Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Amazon clears out Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 at $650
Amazon is now offering the best price yet on the unlocked Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. If you’re not sold on the newer Flip 5, going with last year’s foldable at $649.99 shipped is now an even better option. It’s down from the original $1,000 going rate and is an extra $150 under our last mention. If you’re looking to activate your new smartphone right away, you can drop pricing even lower over at Best Buy. Right now, you can score the handset for $299.99 with Verizon. That’s some extra savings for ditching the unlocked status via Amazon and makes for an even better price. In either case, these are easily the best discounts to date and even better values, considering that the new Z Flip 5 doesn’t really bring anything all too new to the table. Head below for more.
Samsung’s recent Galaxy Z Flip 4 takes on a more casual approach to folding devices with a design that’s inspired by old-school flip phones. Housed within the flip design in one of four colors is a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 120Hz display that comes powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. On the outside is the 1.9-inch Super AMOLED display for checking notifications, which also doubles as a preview for taking selfies with either of the dual 12 MP cameras. Its internal 3,700mAh battery is larger than its predecessor and rounds out the package.
Here’s another chance to score the all-time low on Sony’s new XM5 earbuds
If you missed out on the Thanksgiving week pricing last month, the savings are back on Sony’s latest flagship headphones and earbuds. A favorite, the latest Sony WF-1000XM5 ANC Earbuds, has an all-time low. These new releases just hit the scene over the summer and have only been on sale just one time before. Now, that changes with a drop-down to $248. That’s $50 off the usual $298 price tag and marks the best discount we have seen. It’s one of the first chances to save and an even better way to score one of the more beloved pair of earbuds here at 9to5 – here’s your chance.
Sony’s new XM5 ANC earbuds steal the show in the true wireless earbuds space with one of the best platform-agnostic experiences around. If you’re not sold on AirPods Pro 2 or Pixel Buds Pro, these are easily the best alternative. These earbuds deliver some of the best ANC on the market with foam eartips and an improved design that’s lighter and more compact than before. There’s a new V2 processor powering the experience and everything else you can read about in our review. I personally adore these earbuds, and today’s $50 price drop just makes them an even better buy.
Samsung’s Galaxy S23 and its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip now $100 off
Amazon is now offering the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S23 starting at $700 for the 128GB model. Available in several colorways, the savings drop $100 off the usual $800 going rate. It matches the Amazon all-time low in the process and gives you another chance to lock in some holiday pricing for putting Samsung’s latest smartphone under the tree – even if you’re gifting it to yourself this year. There’s also $100 in savings across all of the other storage capacities, as well. Head below for more.
Samsung’s Galaxy S23 takes on the most affordable approach for its core S23 series smartphones with the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip as the rest of the collection. It lives up to its status as being the most affordable release by rocking a more compact 6.1-inch display, but backs that with a 120Hz refresh rate and AMOLED panel. There’s at least 128GB of onboard storage, as well as all of the other modern fixings on a smartphone like 5G, an under-screen fingerprint reader and all-day battery life from its 3,900mAh capacity.
Sonos Roam/SL AirPlay 2 smart speakers hit $119
Sonos is now kicking off its best sale of the year on the Sonos Roam portable smart speaker. Now on sale for $134, this is a new 2023 low at $45 off the usual $179 price tag. We’ve seen it at $143 in the past, but today’s offer takes an extra 5% off to beat previous mentions. Today’s offer should also be the best price we see through the end of 2023 and into next year. Also on sale today is the Sonos Roam SL, which drops microphones from the equation in order to drop pricing to $119. That’s $40 off the usual $159 price tag and also marks the best price of the year.
Delivering many of the usual Sonos perks in the brand’s most compact and portable offering yet, the Roam speaker arrives with a battery-powered and IP67 waterproof design that can serenade you for 10 hours at a time. Its small footprint can still dish out rich sound, complete with Trueplay for adjusting playback to your space. There’s also both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to access its onboard Alexa and Google integration.
Then there’s the SL version that takes everything the Sonos Roam does and ditches the microphone and its related features. In either case, you can dive into our hands-on review for a better idea of what to expect, as well. This covers the standard edition specifically but applies largely to the SL version too.
Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 are some of our favorite earbuds this year
As the year comes to an end and we begin reflecting on our favorite earbuds in 2023, there’s one pair that still stands out – the Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2. Amazon is making the higher-end sound quality even more compelling with a discount today that drops the earbuds down to $329 shipped. This is $70 off the usual $399 price tag and marking the second-best discount to date. It’s one of the first chances to save period, and comes within $30 of the all-time low from back in May. Today’s offer is the best we’ve seen since.
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.
