We’re mainly sticking with unlocked deals for now, but we’ve thrown in some of the best carriers’ offers too. We’ve made a note of the international devices, but make sure to check carefully before you buy.
Featured deal: First price drop on the Galaxy S21 FE
The new Samsung Galaxy 21 FE has so far only been subject to trade-in deals and bonus incentives, but now is your chance to straight-up save $100 on the retail price of the phone. The 128GB model just dropped to $599.99 ($100 off), while the 256GB variant is down to $669 ($100 off).
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE includes the essential features of the Galaxy S21 while shaving off some of the premium elements to lower the price. That said, you get a bigger battery than the S21 base model, and it also launches with Android 12. You’re assured to get bang for your buck.
