Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes with a $150 credit
Amazon is currently offering the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 for $1,003 with a bundled $150 Amazon credit. Today’s offer scores you the unlocked foldable for just about its MSRP, with an added $150 in cash back to spend on your future Amazon purchase. We last saw the smartphone at $100 off, and now today’s offer arrives with an extra $50 in savings and enough value to be the second-best price cut to date. We break down the experience in our hands-on review, as well.
Samsung’s all-new Galaxy Z Flip 5 takes on a more casual approach to folding devices with a design that’s inspired by old-school flip phones. Not changing it up all too much from last year’s model, there’s the same treatment that this smartphone’s bigger brother is getting with the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 chip and refreshed hinge mechanism. The interior 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 120Hz display remains the same, while the exterior panel is getting a major upgrade to take on the likes of Motorola with a larger design that can show much more content, has a full keyboard for replies, and can run full apps.
Official Z Flip 5 cases now start from just $21
Amazon is following up this morning’s Z Flip 5 promotion with a collection of official case discounts. Falling to new all-time lows across the board, you’ll be able to save on four different designs to protect your new foldable. A favorite has the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Flap Eco Leather at $53. This is down from $90 and marking a new all-time low at $5 under our previous mention. This in-house case from Samsung covers your Z Flip 5 in a premium eco leather material that on top of just looking far more stylish, also protects your handset. There’s a soft lining on the inside, too, as well as a flap that helps safeguard the hinge. Head below for more official case discounts from $21.

Acer’s Cloud Gaming Chromebook 516 GE falls to $479
If all of the new gaming laptops revealed at CES 2024 this year are a bit too unwieldy for your needs, the new Acer Chromebook 516 GE is a great alternative. The Cloud Gaming machine sells for $479 right now at Best Buy, after falling from the usual $649 going rate. This $170 discount is now a new all-time low and also happens to beat our previous mention by an extra $20.
