Joining the ongoing discounts on Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 with up to $1,230 off via an instant trade-in credit, FREE $200 Samsung credit, and more, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by the much more affordable 2026 Galaxy A57 phone hitting the Amazon all-time low at $425. We also have the TCL NXTPAPER 14 Android tablet at $120 off, the NXTPAPER 11 Gen 2 down at $160, and the now live Best Buy 2026 Back to School sale with College Tech under $150, TVs from $70, printers, routers, and up to $730 off Copilot+ PCs and gaming laptops with deals from $330. Head below for a closer look at the details.

Huge deals on Galaxy Z Fold 8/Ultra and next-gen Galaxy Watches still live: $1,230 off, FREE $350 credit, more

The giant pre-orders discounts on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 roll on this weekend, and we waned to highlight the debut offers once again as Samsung can tend to start to remove some of the better bundle and bonus discounts as we push through the pre-order window. As of right now you can still score a FREE $200 Samsung credit that can result in as much as $230 of Galaxy Watch 9, $300 off Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, and even a FREE pair of Galaxy Buds 4 when added to your order. And if you’re not leveraging the enhanced trade-in values you can also use code PAYPAL still at checkout to knock another $100 off your order. 

If the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra launch is anything like past releases, it’s only a matter of time before Samsung shuts down the use of code PAYPAL at checkout to knock $100 off your order, and there’s no telling what might happen to trade-in values and the FREE credit offer:

As mention above, adding any of the new Watch releases to your Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Fold 8 Ultra pre-order will deliver a giant discount – at least $230 off the Galaxy Watch 9 and as much as $300 of the new Ultra 2:

If you would prefer some FREE Amazon credit, there are up to $350 in FREE gift cards available with pre-orders:

Not jumping on the Fold 8/Ultra pre-order deals? The 2026 Galaxy A57 phone just hit the Amazon all-time low at $425

While the sizable pre-order discounts on the new flagship foldable lineup roll on this week with Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 up to $1,230 off with an instant trade-in credit, FREE $200 Samsung credit, and more. For those looking towards a much more affordable 2026 Samsung Galaxy device, the Samsung Galaxy A57 smartphone has now dropped to a new Amazon all-time low at $425 shipped. 

Amazon is now offering the base model Samsung Galaxy A57 phone down at $424.99 shipped. Regularly $550, this is nearly 25% off and the lowest price we can find. 

Currently up at full price on the official Samsung site, this regularly $550 device is now $125 off the list to deliver a new Amazon all-time low. This one dropped to $450 for Prime Day last month, but is now available at $25 less than that for the best deal we have tracked at Amazon on this model. 

It is certainly no Galaxy S26, nor is it one of the just-launched 2026 foldables, but for those looking towards a perfectly capable, albeit casual, device that won’t break the bank to head back to school with, or just as a simple refresh, the A57 is a sort of top-end casual device from Samsung that can certainly get the job done. 

If you are, however, considering one of the new foldables, you might want to do it while the best pre-order discounts are still live – it would not be uncommon for some of the offers to start to disappear as we draw closer to deliver day:

When adding either of the new watches to the same cart with your Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Fold 8 Ultra pre-order you can land a giant discount on the watch itself – $268 off the Galaxy Watch 9 and as much as $300 of the new Ultra 2:

TCL NXTPAPER 14 Android tablet drops to $350 at Amazon ($120 off), NXTPAPER 11 Gen 2 down at $160

While we are still tracking some deals on the more affordable NXTPAPER 11 Gen 2 Android Tablets starting down at $160, Amazon is also serving up some deals on the larger and more powerful TCL NXTPAPER 14 Android Tablet down at $350. 

If you like the sounds of that NXTPAPER display tech but would prefer with some more horsepower under the hood and the larger display, Amazon is now offering the TCL NXTPAPER 14 Android Tablet down at $349.99 shipped. 

Regularly $470, this is $120 off the list price in both the Matte Gray and Space Gray colorways. Today’s deal is the best we have tracked since the $314 Prime Day price and within $10 of the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon otherwise. 

Highlights here include 256GB storage capacity alongside the 14.3-inch 2.4K display, included 4096-pressure-level T-PEN stylus, and the paper-like experience thanks to its “anti-glare display, blue light filtering, and DC dimming.” 

But if you’re ooking towards a slightly more compact model, that will not only cost you less but also deliver the next-generation NXTPAPER 4.0 display and 3-in-1 VersaView Modes, the deals on the TCL NXTPAPER 11 Gen 2 Android Tablet are where it’s at:

Best Buy’s back-to-school sale takes up to $730 off Copilot+ PCs and gaming laptops with deals from $330

Best Buy is kicking its back-to-school push into high gear with a fresh batch of deals on Windows laptops. The retailer has highlighted some fresh deals now, offering some newer Copilot+ PCs powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI 400-series and Intel’s Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” chips, along with plenty of more affordable options. Some of these machines were already discounted during the recent Black Friday in July sale, but Best Buy has now added several new offers with prices starting at $329.99 shipped. There are some great Windows laptop deals in there, so be sure to check out them if you’re upgrading for school, work, or simply getting your setup ready for the busy fall season.

One of the standout deals in the sale drops Acer’s Swift Go 16 AI Copilot+ PC to $699.99 shipped. This newer 2026 model is powered by Intel’s latest Core Ultra 5 322 “Panther Lake” processor and normally sells for $1,000, so today’s offer takes $300 off and marks the return of the lowest price we’ve tracked so far. It features a 16-inch 2K OLED touchscreen, along with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. This is one of the first notable discounts we’ve seen on a Copilot+ PC running Intel’s new Panther Lake hardware, making it a solid option for anyone looking for a capable everyday Windows laptop.
