Amazon’s Prime Day deals spanned two days earlier this week, but that’s all behind us now. However, this does not mean that there are no good deals to be had. We even saw some new offers that weren’t available on Prime Day.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is still too new for immediate discounts, but both the 128GB and 256GB versions are available with a free $100 Amazon Gift Card. You can use it to buy some accessories – a case, a new smartwatch, etc. – or to buy something completely unrelated.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra dropped below $1,000 for a 256GB device during Prime Day. The current offer is not That good, but still good enough to mention. The 512GB variant in particular offers more than $400 off.
There were no discounts on the S24+, but the small Galaxy S24 did receive a small discount.
You can use the $100 Galaxy S24 FE gift card to pick up a new watch – the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE costs $180 or just $80 once you use the card. Note: this is for the Bluetooth variant, Samsung also recently added an LTE version (but both are only 40mm).
If you want a larger, more capable watch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 offers a faster, more efficient 3nm Exynos W1000 chipset, a larger screen (1.5″ vs. 1.2″) because it’s the 44mm model, and a longer battery life. Both watches have ECG, but only the Watch7 has a blood pressure monitor.
For an adventure watch, there is the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. It can dive deeper (it is certified for 100 meters) and has an even larger battery. The Ultra is available in just one configuration: 47mm with LTE.
Samsung just announced the A16 5G, but the older Samsung Galaxy A15 5G still exists and is cheaper too. Not that we know the prices of the A16 yet, but judging by the price tag in the EU this will be $250. The A15 5G receives 4 OS updates and 5 years of security patches, so this sub-$200 device should last a long time. The Dimensity 6100+ is weaker than the new chipset in the A16, but it is no speed demon either.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) has proven to be a successful design, this is the second re-release. And currently with a 40% discount. Keep in mind that both the 64GB and 128GB versions only have 4GB of RAM, so you might be better off spending the extra $50 on a microSD card rather than just 64GB more internal storage.
The Oura Ring 4 was announced earlier this month with a titanium exterior and an epoxy interior. The sensor package has been significantly slimmed down since Gen 3 (from 1.3mm to 0.3mm) and accuracy has improved significantly (the blood oxygen sensor is 120% better). Please note that you will need a subscription of $6/month or $70/year.
Alternatively, you can pick up the Samsung Galaxy Ring, which costs a bit more upfront but doesn’t require a subscription. We found it comfortable and the battery life is longer than Galaxy Watches. However, you also don’t get any of the notifications and other smart features of the Watches. The good news is that the Galaxy Watch and Ring are designed to coexist: for example, you can wear the watch during the day and the ring at night.
Here are some more wearables – Sony recently unveiled new TWS buds in the LinkBuds series. The LinkBuds Open have an open design, making them more comfortable to wear all day long and they don’t block out ambient noise. The LinkBuds Fit have a more traditional design with an emphasis on comfort, audio quality and noise cancellation. There’s also a Bluetooth speaker, which can resume playback seamlessly when you get home and put the earbuds away.
