We’re starting off the work week one of the only ways we know how, rounding up all of the best discounts. For Monday, the savings start with some new all-time lows on Samsung Galaxy S23/+/Ultra handsets from $700. If spring has you in the market for a new fitness tracker, Fossil’s latest Neutra and Machine Gen 6 hybrid smartwatches are now on sale from $159 to go alongside an equally well-timed price cut on DJI’s FPV drone from $749. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
New all-time lows land on Samsung Galaxy S23/+/Ultra handsets from $700
Amazon today is rolling out some of the very first discounts across Samsung’s new lineup of Galaxy S23 smartphones. Marking down unlocked versions of all three 5G handsets, shipping is free across the board. The most notable of the discounts starts all of the way at the top, with the Galaxy S23 Ultra 256GB dropping to $1,000. Normally fetching the usual $1,200 MSRP, today’s offer is delivering only the second-ever discount on the elevated storage configuration. It’s matching the all-time low at $200 off, as well.
Samsung’s latest S23 Ultra flagship arrives with a similar design as previous year’s versions, just with some notable under the hood improvements. Centered around the refreshed Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, there’s also a 6.8-inch QHD+ 120Hz panel and support for the oh-so popualr S-Pen stylus that can store away in the handset. One adjustment with the sceen that’ll be largely appreciated is the noticeably flatter screen curve compared to the preceeding S22 Ultra. There’s also 512GB of storage, a 200MP quad camera array, and 5G connectivity. Our hands-on review also covers everything else to expect.
Fossil’s latest Neutra and Machine Gen 6 hybrid smartwatches on sale from $159
Amazon is now discounting a series of Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid Smartwatches, with the sleek Neutra style leading the way at $191. Available in both silver and black stainless steel builds, pricing normally clocks in at $249. You’re looking at the very first chances to save, with $57 discounts attached on either style marking a new all-time low. If you’re in the market for a more rugged design, the Fossil Machine series are also on sale and starting at $191. These are down from the same $249 going rate for some of the very first times with all-time low savings in tow.
This hybrid Fossil wearable arrives in several different styles, but each one packs all of the same tech dependent on the Gen 6 platform. These smartwatches can handle monitoring everything from workouts and heart rate to wellness, sleep, and SpO2 this spring. It ditches a full display like other smartwatches have in favor of always-on e-ink displays that can show off notifications and metrics with customizable watch faces. That lets it deliver on the hybrid naming scheme, pairing a traditional watch mechanism with those added smart features and an impressive 2-week battery life.
DJI’s FPV drone includes everything you need for first person flights
Amazon is now offering its best discount yet on the DJI FPV Combo. Normally fetching $1,299, this combo recently hit $999 and is now down the extra $100 in order to drop down to $899 shipped. This is a new all-time low at $400 off and marks the first discount of the year. Those who don’t mind going the refurbished route can score a model from eBay right now for $749. Backed by a full 2-year warranty, that saves you an extra $150 from the new condition sale price while delivering a new all-time low.
While not the new Avata drone, DJI’s FPV offering arrives as a more affordable package for getting in on the first person flight sessions. In the box you’re getting the nimble quadcopter itself as well as a bundled controller and the FPV goggles themselves. One of its more eye-catching stats is the 60MPH top speed that allows the drone to keep up with cars and capture footage in scenarios that DJI’s other offerings couldn’t. Dive into our hands-on review.
Galaxy S23+ on sale for $850
Taking a step down to the mid-range handset in Samsung’s latest lineup, the Galaxy S23+ is now on sale at Amazon, too. Dropping the 256GB capacity down to $849.99, you’d normally pay $1,000. Today’s offer amounts to $150 in savings and is the best we’ve seen to date on this capacity while also undercutting our previous mention by $50. Samsung’s new Galaxy S23+ arrives at the middle of the road between the flagship S23 Ultra above and the baseline model we’ll get to in just a moment.
Resting in-between those is a larger 6.6-inch FHD+ display that comes backed by a 120Hz refresh rate. The entire package is powered by the refreshed Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which also drives the new 50MP camera array. And rounding out the package is a 4,700mAh battery for all-day usage. Dive into our launch coverage for a closer look.
Anker’s just-released M650 wireless microphone kit sees first discount
Just last month, Anker finally began shipping its new M650 wireless microphone kit. Now less than a month later, the very first discount is rolling around thanks to Amazon. Right now, you can score the AnkerWork M650 Lavalier Microphone kit for $220. This is delivering the very first chance to save since back over the pre-order phase, and the second-best price ever. So while you could have locked in a better value back before Anker even shipped this new release, this is the first offer to save some cash off the actual MSRP. In this case, it amounts to $30 in savings. Anker’s new M650 microphone kit features a pair of the wireless units which comes packed into what is essentially an oversized true wireless earbuds case. There’s a companion receiver which can be plugged into your Mac with a USB-C attachment, or iPhone 14 thanks to a swappable Lightning module. It can record from both of the mics at once, with a clip-on design that offers six hours of battery life per charge. We broke down what to expect from the experience in our launch coverage, and share some hands-on thoughts right here from my usage over the past few weeks.
