Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra from $880, Nest x Yale smart lock $229, more

You can now save $320 or more on Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra when you take the Best Buy refurbished route. Deals start from $880 and come joined by the Nest x Yale Smart Lock at $229, and Samsung’s 44mm Galaxy Watch 6 at $258. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Save on a refurbished Galaxy S23 Ultra

Best Buy is now offering the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 256GB for $880 in its in-house Geek Squad Certified Refurbished condition. This is down from the original $1,199 price tag and marks a new all-time low for this capacity. It’s $320 off, and beats our previous mention by an extra $90. You’ll also find the elevated 512GB capacity at $970, down from $1,380. The perfect alternative if you don’t need all of the new AI tech on the S24 series, we explore all the ways that the Galaxy S23 Ultra is worth your cash – especially with today’s savings – in our hands-on review. 

Samsung’s now previous-generation S23 Ultra flagship arrives with a similar design as previous year’s versions, just with some notable under the hood improvements. Centered around the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, there’s also a 6.8-inch QHD+ 120Hz panel and support for the oh-so popular S Pen stylus that can store away in the handset. One adjustment with the screen that’ll be largely appreciated is the noticeably flatter screen curve compared to the preceding S22 Ultra. There’s also 512GB of storage, a 200MP quad camera array, and 5G connectivity.

Nest x Yale makes our favorite smart lock for Assistant setups

Amazon now offers the second-best price on the Google Nest x Yale Lock. It’s on sale for $229 in Satin Nickel and drops from the usual $300 price tag. This is $71 off and marks the second-best discount we’ve seen. Today’s offer is also within $30 of the all-time low from back over Black Friday, too. We also just talked about how the new Matter version just isn’t a proper substitute for today’s discounted model – which is still as good as it gets for an Assistant smart lock.

The Nest x Yale smart lock delivers a notable upgrade to your Assistant security kit centered around one of several different metal finishes. It has a touchscreen display for punching in codes on top of unlocking with your smartphone or using a voice assistant, too. There’s no key port on this model, so you’ll be completely transitioning over to the smart side of security. The Nest x Yale Lock connects to the rest of your smart home over Wi-Fi, too.

Samsung’s 44mm Galaxy Watch 6 down to $258

Amazon now offers the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 44mm for $258. Available in both Graphite and Silver styles, today’s offer lands on the GPS model from the usual $330 price tag. It beats our previous mention by an extra $3 and lands within $4 of the all-time low set back on Black Friday. The savings also continue over to the Galaxy Watch 6 40mm, which drops down to $250. Get a better idea of what to expect in our hands-on review.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 6 series just launched late last fall and arrives as the company’s latest fitness tracking experience. Each of the wearables on sale is powered by an Exynos W930 chip. That enables Wear OS 4, which looks even better on the refreshed displays that come surrounded by smaller bezels than before. You’ll find one of the more robust health suites on the market, too, with the ability to track daily activity, sleep, temperature, and much more thanks to an upgraded BioActive sensor array.

Score a 14-inch HP Chromebook for just $159

Best Buy is offering a 14-inch HP Chromebook for just $159. It only has 4GB of memory and 64GB of onboard storage, but instead of paying the usual $299 going rate that we’ve been tracking over the past few months, you can take $140 off. That brings it down to a new all-time low while beating our previous mention from over Black Friday by an extra $40.

Perfect for a compact everyday carry upgrade to complement your main desktop, or just as a student’s first machine, it’s hard to argue with a $159 Chromebook. This HP model has a 14-inch HD screen and comes powered by an Intel Celeron chip. There’s 64GB of onboard storage and if that isn’t enough, there’s also a microSD card slot.

DJI’s Mini 3 Pro folding drone shoots vertical video at $600

Amazon now offers the DJI Mini 3 Pro folding quadcopter for $600. This is the first drop we’ve seen from the usual $759 price tag and marking a new all-time low at $159 off. We’ve only ever seen bundles on sale in the past, and now anyone who just wants to score the drone with its companion remote can score the best discount ever. You can also step up to the Mini 3 Pro with one of the DJI RC screen remotes at $729.99 over at Best Buy, down from $910 and matching the all-time low. Take a look at the full specs in our coverage at DroneDJ.

This time around with the DJI Mini 3 Pro, the entire drone weighs in under 249 grams while still delivering 34-minute flight times and a robust set of obstacle avoidance tech. The 1/1.3-inch sensor is already a notable solution for aerial photography thanks to the ability to record 4K HDR videos, but there’s also a rotating gimbal that makes this the first DJI drone to be able to capture vertical video for sharing to your smartphone. Alongside the drone, you’re also getting the DJI RC controller with a built-in display.
