There are only a few days left to take advantage of the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 pre-order deals ahead of delivery, and while you can score Galaxy Buds 4 Pro for just $20 with Fold 8 orders, this Amazon bundle deal is even better. That said, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by Google’s 2026 Pixel 10a starting down at $385 (up to $115 off), alongside this Lenovo 2.5K tablet bundle with pen and case down at $150, and the now live Best Buy August Back to School sale – smart TVs from $80, dorm upgrades, and much more. Head below for a closer look at the details.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-order deals, $100 off + FREE buds, $515 off Tabs, $300 off Watch Ultra 2, more

Pre-order deals on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 continue this weekend alongside the next-gen  Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 at up to $300 off with your order. There are only five days remaining so left to take advantage of the deals before release date and, if this launch is anything like the last major Galaxy drop, the deals won’t be as good in the coming days. 

Best Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-order deals

If you’re looking to trade a device in for your new Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8, these are the best two options (as detailed previously):

Both solid options, but the best bet is to check both sites to get an exact value for the device you have to trade in (only the very newest devices will get up to that $1,200 in trade value at Samsung – Z Fold 7 and S26 series). 

If you’re not trading in, you can still use code PAYPAL100 at checkout to knock $100 off the phone and leverage the up to $200 in instant Samsung store credit as well as the $30 bonus credit – this credit can yield serious deals on add-on gear when added to the same cart as the phone pre-order:

Here’s a rundown of all the best offers straight from Samsung:

Add either of the new watches to the same cart with your Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Fold 8 Ultra pre-order to score a deep discount on the watch itself:

Score Galaxy Buds 4 Pro for just $20 with Fold 8 pre-orders, but this Amazon bundle deal is even better

Pre-order deals on the Galaxy Fold 8 roll on for another few days this week, but we wanted to highlight Amazon’s bundle offer on the Fold 8/Ultra with the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro. You can score the buds for just $20 directly from Samsung with your Fold pre-order, but Amazon’s deal is effectively even better. 

Let’s use the base model Galaxy Fold 8 as an example here. If you opt for the $200 in Samsung credit on the listing page, alongside the $30 Reserve credit, and add the Galaxy Bud 4 Pro to the same cart as your phone pre-order you will end up with a total at $1,919.99. 

If you can leverage the PAYPAL100 discount code on the same order, you will end up with a total at $1,819.99. 

At best, you’re looking at $330 off the regular prices for both items. 

That’s a solid deal, and the lowest price when it comes to an actual cash discount. But Amazon’s offer on this same package will leave you with an effective total at $1,775:

Amazon is offering Galaxy Fold 8, 10% off Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, and a $350 gift card. 

So while you will have to fork over $2,124.98 to score this package at Amazon now, the $350 you get back in Amazon credit leaves you with an effective price at $1,774.98. 

At Amazon, you’re looking at an effective $375 off the regular prices for both items. 

And, as you know, the $350 in Amazon credit can go a long way – it is basically like $350 off the phone considering you can use it towards groceries and about a million other things on Amazon you were likely going to buy anyway. 

Unlocked Samsung Galaxy A56 phone hits Amazon all-time low from $375, A57 model now $125 off

Not upgrading to far more pricey Pixel 11 this month? Google’s 2026 Pixel 10a now starts at $385 (Up to $115 off)

If looking towards a more affordable current-generation Pixel smartphone upgrade, you’ll likely want to side-step this month’s Pixel 11 pre-order launch in favor of the 2026 Pixel 10a. Now $75 off at Amazon in brand new condition, we are also tracking some notable “excellent” condition Best Buy open-box units at up to $115 off. 

As you may have spotted in our coverage yesterday, Amazon decided to drop the price on the latest unlocked Google Pixel 10a over this past weekend – both the 128GB and 256GB models are now $75 in brand new condition:

These are the lowest prices we have tracked on Amazon outside of the short-lived Prime Day deals at $399 and $499. 

Pixel 10a is already one of the best values in low to mid-range Android phones, if you ask me. But if you can land one at a discount, all the better, and Best Buy’s open-box listings in “excellent” condition bring the price down even lower right now – the Lavender model has dropped another $5 from our mention yesterday to deliver up to $115 off the new list price:

Google Pixelsnap Case for Pixel 10/Pro back down at $35 on Amazon (Reg. $60)

This Lenovo 2.5K tablet bundle with pen and case is a Back to School steal at $150

Over at Amazon, you’ll find a Lenovo Idea Tab bundle going for $149.99 shipped right now. This package includes the base 4GB/128GB configuration, which typically sells for more than $218, so today’s deal takes roughly 31% off and marks the lowest price we’ve tracked for it so far. At $150, it offers some serious value for casual users, students, and first-time tablet buyers. Amazon also includes the Lenovo Tab Pen and a folio case in the bundle, giving you everything needed for note-taking, reading, streaming, browsing, and light schoolwork without buying extra accessories separately. It’s a solid back-to-school pick, but folks who need a more powerful tablet can also check out the 8GB/256GB configuration at $199.99 shipped, though that is a relatively lighter deal on its $290 usual going rate. Head below for more details.

Lenovo Idea Tab

The Lenovo Idea Tab is a solid budget Android tablet for anyone who wants a dependable everyday device without spending too much. Its 11-inch 2.5K display gives you plenty of room for streaming, browsing, reading, and light schoolwork, while the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor should handle basic apps and day-to-day tasks comfortably. The base variant of this tablet comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with a microSD card slot available if you need more space. It also supports stylus input, and the listing featured here includes both the pen and a folio case. The variant of this tablet with more memory and storage is also discounted right now, but the deal on the base variant delivers some serious value for your money if you’re only going to use it for notes, PDFs, online classes, and day-to-day media consumption.

Regularly $250 for the classic Deep Silver model, this is $50 off the list price and best we can find. You’ll also find $50 price drops live on the other three colors that carry list prices at between $260 and $265. 

Ring Wired Doorbell Pro delivers Retinal 4K video coverage of your front porch with up to 10x zoom, the ability to hear and speak to visitors without opening the door, and “true color, even in low light.” You’ll also land 3D Motion Detection that “pinpoints motion on your property so you’ll receive more precise alerts and fewer interruptions.”

UGREEN just unleashed a 160W smart display charger with retractable cable – grab the new Nexode Pro at $50 off (Launch deal)

Courtesy of UGREEN’s official Amazon storefront, Prime members can now snag the brand’s all-new Nexode Pro 160W 4-port GaN charger for $99.99 shipped. This is a new model that just hit the scene carrying a $150 price tag, but today’s launch deal saves you $50 on it with a solid 33% markdown. It’s a feature-packed charging unit with a built-in retractable USB-C cable, a display, and more, and it’s worth checking out while it’s discounted down to $100. Head below for more details.

UGREEN’s Nexode Pro 160W charger is great for folks who regularly need to power several devices from one outlet. It has two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and a built-in retractable USB-C cable, letting you charge up to four devices without carrying an extra cable for the main connection. This unit can deliver 160W in total, while a single USB-C connection can provide up to 140W for larger laptops such as a MacBook Pro. It also has a rotating screen to show useful information, including the output from each connection, temperature, voltage, and so on. You can also connect it to UGREEN’s mobile app to monitor charging and adjust supported settings. It may not be as compact or lightweight as some of UGREEN’s recent releases, but it’s a powerful charger that can top up multiple devices simultaneously.

If you’re looking for something more affordable for a similar multi-device charging setup, Anker’s 200W charging station might be worth considering while it’s down to $56. It doesn’t have a display, but it makes up for it with as many as six USB ports. It’s also down from its usual price of $80 right now.
