For a little while last month, I almost feared Motorola, Samsung, and Lenovo's price hikes for some (or all) of the three brands' best phones and tablets would make these weekly deals roundups I hope many of you have come to appreciate and maybe even rely on of late totally pointless.
Fortunately, that couldn't be further from the truth, as those same device manufacturers and the largest third-party retailers in the US have been quick to reverse course and drastically reduce some of the recently increased (as well as many of the unchanged) prices of not only some of the most popular smartphones and tablets in the world, but a few top smartwatch and wireless earbuds options too.
This week's three best deals are almost impossible to resist
If Samsung didn't manage to convince you to buy the Galaxy S26 Ultra by releasing the new super flagship at the same starting price as last year's Galaxy S25 Ultra and then by slashing a cool $200 off said price with no strings attached, perhaps a $100 freebie added to that $200 discount will finally seal the deal.
After all, you are looking at arguably the greatest Android phone around right now, and the only handset I can think of that might be considered a better deal is last year's Motorola Razr Ultra at $700 off its list price in a 1TB storage variant with complimentary new Moto Buds 2 Plus also included.
That's far from a never-before-seen offer, of course, but after the introduction of an arguably overpriced new Razr Ultra edition, it's even more compelling than all of those previous weeks.
Meanwhile, the best tablet you can buy this week in terms of bang for your buck (especially if you're a hardcore Apple fan) is without a doubt a 2025-released iPad Air 11 with M3 processing power and built-in 5G connectivity at a hefty (and unprecedented) $250 discount.
Looking for other smartphone options at killer prices? Here you go:
Yes, the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R are both more appealing than ever before at not just cool new discounts, but alongside sweet new gifts as well. And no, it shouldn't matter to you if OnePlus plans to quit the US market in the near future or not, as the value of these two powerhouses (especially at these prices) will undoubtedly remain intact.
The Razr Plus (2025) is another handset that has maintained (if not improved) its appeal after this week's announcement of a lightly upgraded (and decidedly overpriced) sequel, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 are still for all intents and purposes the best foldables... a Samsung fan can get.
Speaking of Samsung fans, the Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra are also battling for the attention of those who can't afford the S26 Ultra, and if you're in that camp, you might want to hurry before the S26 Plus inevitably goes back up in price or the S25 Ultra is retired for good.
And here are eight more tablet options available at unbeatable discounts
Can't afford... or for some reason don't like the 5G-capable iPad Air 11 (M3) included in this week's top three deals? Then you should probably look at the budget-friendly Lenovo Idea Tab, Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 Plus, Lenovo Idea Tab Pro, OnePlus Pad Go 2, and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE while they're on sale at their latest substantial price cuts.
The Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus is certainly worth considering too at a $250 discount in a combination with a productivity-enhancing keyboard and creativity-encouraging stylus, while the Apple M3-powered 13-inch iPad Air is... obviously costlier than its little brother (especially in a 1TB storage configuration with standalone cellular connectivity), but it's clearly discounted deeply enough (for an undoubtedly limited time) to find a (large) audience of its own.
Last but not necessarily least in this category, the gargantuan Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is substantially marked down... after its permanent price increase a little while ago, which makes it... not as affordable as a couple of times in the past, but pretty appealing (for the right buyer) nonetheless.
The best smartwatches on sale today are few but very compelling
Quality often beats quantity (at least in my weekly deals roundups), so although I only have three smartwatches to recommend today, I believe these can satisfy the needs of a lot of different consumers.
The Apple Watch Series 11 is obviously ideal for... the vast majority of iPhone users looking for a new wearable device with a "mainstream" design, while the Apple Watch SE 3 can deliver a nearly flawless quality/price equation for more cash-strapped Apple fans. Meanwhile, the compact 43mm OnePlus Watch 3 is probably the best smartwatch an Android handset owner can buy on a relatively tight budget this week, and in addition to a $100 outright discount, the stylish and feature-packed timepiece also includes two small but potentially very useful freebies.
And the same goes for this week's best wireless earbuds options
Once again, the value lies in the quality rather than the number of deals in this final product category, as the AirPods Pro 3 are virtually impossible to turn down at a likely unbeatable $50 discount... unless, of course, you're more strapped for cash, in which case you'll probably opt for the non-noise-cancelling AirPods 4 at $30 off their list price.
Then you have the noise-cancelling OnePlus Buds 4 for frugal Android smartphone users at a decent $30 discount with a nice little gift also included to further sweeten the deal. What more could you possibly need to have a pleasant weekend?
