Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra

You really can't argue with the Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra's value propositions right now.

What's the best way to celebrate this week's iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max announcements? How about getting one of their greatest alternatives at a significantly lower price than usual?

That's definitely one of my favorite things about Apple's glamorous product launch events, which are very often followed by extraordinary deals on top Android phones, Android tablets, and smartwatches compatible with both iPhones and Android handsets.

Today is clearly no exception (quite on the contrary), and while some of the stellar mobile tech deals I've carefully selected and rounded up for you this week might have nothing to do with Apple or Apple stuff, many are undoubtedly connected one way or another.

The three best deals available today are simply astounding

$1049 ⁹⁹

$1299 ⁹⁹

$250 off (19%)

Normally priced at a pretty extravagant $1,299.99 and up, the beastly Galaxy S26 Ultra with a stunning 6.9-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X screen, super-powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, and always handy S Pen in tow is currently marked down by a cool $250 with no special requirements in all storage variants and color options. On top of that, you can also get $300 instant Samsung Store credit to use on other devices and accessories.

$300 off (16%)

If you're one of the many foldable buyers mesmerized by the shape and form factor of the non-Ultra Galaxy Z Fold 8, you'll undoubtedly be delighted to see the wide passport-style Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powerhouse discounted by a massive $300 with no obligatory trade-in. Even better, Samsung is also throwing in $400 credit to use on one or multiple accessories of your choice for a presumably limited time only.

$350 off (17%)

If you prefer your foldable devices shaped like a book rather than a passport and equipped with the best possible cameras, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is an absolute must-buy right now at $350 off its list price with $400 instant Samsung Store credit also included. That's a total discount of no less than 750 bucks with no device trade-in required or any other strings attached.

I know you see hyperbolic language associated with deals and discounts all the time, but trust me when I tell you that the latest Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and S26 Ultra promotions are truly something special.

I almost can't think of a fitting description for the Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra's combined discounts of $700 (!) and $750 (!!!), respectively, and while I'm sure you've all seen the Galaxy S26 Ultra marked down by even more than $250 once or twice in recent months, it's definitely not everyday that a massive price cut like that is bundled with a $300-worth freebie.

It's certainly also worth pointing out that these three happen to be the best Android phones money can buy right now (and not just in my view), and with these unprecedented new deals, their value equations clearly beat the bang for buck delivered by the brand-new iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo (which are obviously unlikely to ever receive such deep discounts or ultra-valuable gifts).

These seven other smartphone offers shouldn't be ignored either

$599 ⁹⁹

$999 ⁹⁹

$400 off (40%)

Equipped with 6.9 and 4-inch AMOLED screens capable of refreshing your content at a silky smooth 165Hz rate, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, 12GB RAM, and a 4,000mAh battery supporting 45W charging speeds, last year's Razr Plus remains one of the best foldable phones money can buy, especially at a hefty $400 discount in gorgeous Mocha Mousse and Hot Pink colorways.

Buy at Motorola

$200 off (22%)

If Samsung's latest Fan Edition handset fails to impress you with its familiar design and repetitive specs, perhaps a free $200 Amazon gift card will seal the deal at least for some Android power users on relatively tight budgets. The Galaxy S26 FE packs a reasonably fast Exynos 2500 processor and a large 4,900mAh battery capable of charging at up to 45W rates while sporting an undeniably gorgeous 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen.

Buy at Amazon

$799 ⁹⁹

$1499 ⁹⁹

$700 off (47%)

The greatest foldable deal available this year is somehow still going strong, still slashing $700 off the regular price of last year's flexible Razr Ultra powerhouse and still including a complimentary pair of Moto Buds 2 as well. The Razr Ultra (2025) is no pushover by 2026 standards, sporting 7 and 4-inch screens, packing Snapdragon 8 Elite processing power, and in this deeply discounted variant, no less than 1TB of internal storage space and 16GB RAM.

Buy at Motorola

$63 off (6%)

A $65 discount may not sound very drastic for a phone that typically costs a whopping $1,019 in a 512GB storage variant, but the 6.3-inch Pixel 11 with a Google Tensor G6 processor under its hood is only a couple of weeks old. And it comes with a pretty large battery for its reduced screen size, as well as three excellent rear-facing cameras, and of course, an unrivaled long-term software support guarantee.

$999 ⁹⁹

$1199 ⁹⁹

$200 off (17%)

Clamshell-style foldables are not dead yet, and the Galaxy Z Flip 8 comes with beautiful 6.9 and 4.1-inch screens, a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB RAM, 50 + 12MP dual rear-facing cameras, and a 4,300mAh battery at $200 under its regular prices in both 256 and 512GB storage variants. Additionally, you can get $200 instant Samsung Store credit to use on other Galaxy devices and accessories, and no, you don't need to trade anything in or to jump through any hoops whatsoever.

Buy at Samsung

$83 off (8%)

If you like compact Android phones that pack an unusual punch for their size on both the processing power and camera performance fronts, the Pixel 11 Pro is probably the right device for you, especially at an unprecedented $85 discount in a 256GB storage variant and an always popular Obsidian colorway.

Buy at Amazon

$65 off (5%)

Amazon is taking care of hardcore Google fans who prefer jumbo-sized handsets as well, slashing 65 bucks off the pretty extravagant list price of a 6.8-inch Pixel 11 Pro XL with 512GB internal storage in an Obsidian colorway. The stock Android 17-running giant packs a fittingly large 5,115mAh battery with 45W wired and 25W wireless charging support, as well as a super-advanced triple rear-facing camera system composed of one 50MP snapper and two 48MP sensors.

Buy at Amazon

I'm going to be perfectly honest with you: I expected better Pixel 11 series deals to crop up by now. But for the time being, Amazon's $63 to $83 discounts will have to do for hardcore Google fans who feel their hearts might explode if they wait a few more weeks for potentially deeper price cuts.

Deeper price cuts, of course, are unlikely to ever arrive for devices like last year's Razr Plus and Razr Ultra, which I'm honestly surprised haven't been discontinued yet. Finally, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Galaxy S26 FE may well become even more attractive down the line, but that's also unlikely to happen very soon.

At least some of these hot new tablet offers are impossible to turn down

$78 off (50%)

After a recent price hike, Amazon's latest Fire HD 10 tablet is ultra-affordable once again, going 50 percent off list with 4GB RAM, 32GB internal storage space, and lockscreen ads. This is obviously no powerhouse, but the 10.1-inch display is almost surprisingly sharp, sporting a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels.

Buy at Amazon

$99 ⁹⁹

$179 ⁹⁹

$80 off (44%)

Equipped with a... not-terrible 8.7-inch HD screen and a... decent octa-core MediaTek Helio G85 processor, the Lenovo Tab One is a whopping $80 (or 44 percent) cheaper than usual in a 64GB storage configuration. This is definitely not a bad deal for first-time Android tablet owners or generally undemanding users.

Buy at Lenovo

$189 ⁹⁹

$309 ⁹⁹

$120 off (39%)

At a huge $120 (or 39 percent) discount, the 11-inch Lenovo Idea Tab might be one of the best budget-friendly Android tablets you can buy today, especially when you consider its bundled stylus, excellent 2.5K screen resolution, and all-day battery life.

$289 ⁹⁹

$399 ⁹⁹

$110 off (28%)

One of Lenovo's newest mid-range tablets is also one of its most unconventional Android devices ever, packing no less than nine powerful speakers in addition to a decidedly respectable MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, 8GB RAM, and 10,200mAh battery supporting blazing fast 45W charging technology. Incredibly enough, you can get all that (and a protective case) for less than three Benjamins right now.

The 13-inch Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 is one of Lenovo's largest and fastest Android tablets, packing a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor and a 10,200mAh battery supporting 45W charging speeds, and yet its already reasonable list price is somehow reduced to only 350 bucks right now... with a Lenovo Tab Pen Plus also included.

Buy at Lenovo

$130 off (19%)

The Galaxy Tab S10 Fan Edition is probably Samsung's best mid-range Android tablet right now, but the problem with the Exynos 1580-powered 10.9-incher is that it's not very affordable. At a $130 discount in a 256GB storage variant, this is still not a conventional bargain, but it will have to do for those of you who can't afford the high-end Galaxy Tab S11 or Tab S11 Ultra.

Buy at Amazon

$130 off (19%)

If you like your mid-range tablets a little larger, the 13.1-inch Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus is clearly the way to go, especially at a $130 discount in a 128GB storage variant and three different color options. The relatively affordable giant sports a 90Hz refresh rate-capable IPS LCD screen and comes with a bundled S Pen.

Buy at Amazon

$200 off (17%)

If you're not that excited about the impending arrival of the Galaxy Tab S12+ and Tab S12 Ultra, the relatively compact Galaxy Tab S11 can be yours at a $200 discount in one of two color options with 512GB internal storage space. This is a decidedly high-end slate with a stunning Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen in tow, as well as a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor and 12GB RAM under its hood.

Buy at Amazon

And I'm mainly looking at the cheapest devices in this category, which could well perish in the very near future. Yes, both sub-$100 phones and sub-$100 tablets are reportedly on the verge of going extinct, unlike mid-range or high-end Galaxy Tabs, of course.

The Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE Plus would be extremely compelling at their latest discounts... if Lenovo's cheaper tablets didn't exist, while the premium Tab S11 is made to look especially attractive by the impending arrival of a boring and overpriced Tab S12 duo that doesn't even include a new "vanilla" model.

My number one recommendation on this list? Without a doubt the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Gen 2, which is almost too affordable to be true after a hefty $150 discount just a few months on the heels of its US commercial debut.

This week's top smartwatch deals will make you forget about the Apple Watch Series 12

$118 off (39%)

Garmin makes a lot of very popular outdoor-friendly smartwatches, and although the Vivoactive 5 is not technically one of them, its 24/7 health monitoring abilities, built-in sports apps, 11-day battery life, surprisingly high-quality AMOLED touchscreen, and very reasonable price (especially at a new 39 percent discount) make this model an extraordinary alternative for virtually all the best Apple Watches and Galaxy Watches around.

Buy at Amazon

$162 off (36%)

The Venu 3S is a more "premium" fitness smartwatch than the Vivoactive 5, with an even sharper AMOLED display in tow, similarly impressive battery life, pretty much all the health and fitness tracking tools you could ever need, a built-in speaker and microphone, and an almost surprisingly lightweight body. At 36 percent under its regular price, this model is almost impossible to turn down for both iPhone and Android handset users.

Buy at Amazon

$319 ⁹⁹

$379 ⁹⁹

$60 off (16%)

Powered by a cutting-edge new Snapdragon Wear Elite processor, Samsung's latest "regular" smartwatch is discounted for the very first time with no device trade-in required or other strings attached. But if a $60 price cut fails to impress you, perhaps an additional $50 instant Samsung Store credit will help seal the deal.

Buy at Samsung

$100 off (23%)

The Apple Watch Series 12 is here, which means that last year's Apple Watch Series 11 is... more compelling than ever before. That's because the older model's newest discount is unlikely to last long, and most of the specs and capabilities that made this one of the best smartwatches in the world until very recently are still unbeaten.

Buy at Amazon

$599 ⁹⁹

$699 ⁹⁹

$100 off (14%)

The first outright discount of Samsung's latest and greatest rugged smartwatch has also arrived, and in addition to $100 off the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2's list price, buyers can also get free $100 store credit to use towards another Samsung device or accessory of their choice. This is a pretty epic deal that's unlikely to be eclipsed before Black Friday or Cyber Monday several months down the line.

Buy at Samsung

Yes, I strongly believe that last year's Apple Watch Series 11 is a smarter 2026 buy than its just-unveiled sequel. But what if you're an Android phone user?

Not to worry, as Samsung has reacted to this week's Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 launches impressively quickly with unprecedented and very hard-to-beat Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 promotions.

And if you don't like to be locked to one OS or the other, the Android and iOS-compatible Garmin Vivoactive 5 and Venu 3S just so happen to be cheaper than ever before as well with killer designs, excellent health monitoring tools, and even better battery endurance scores.
