The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ have been out for a week now, and while excitement about getting the new flagship Android phone may have died down a bit, Samsung has kept it up by offering bundles with the phone. The Samsung Ultimate Bundle, which contains a Samsung Gear IconX, Gear VR, and wireless charger is available for $99 with the purchase of a Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+. It’s a $400 value for about $100. There’s also a Power Bundle, if that’s more your speed. These deals only last through April 6th, so now’s as good a time as any to snag the new Galaxy phone.

If you’re not interested in a new phone, there are plenty of markdowns on wearables and projectors. Apple Watches are being discounted by $70 at Best Buy and the Garmin’s Vivosmart smartwatch is down to $59.99 at BuyDig. Anker’s portable projector, the Nebula Capsule, is being bundled with the official travel case for $39.99 less than the full retail value. Smartphones, specifically the S9 and S9+, are this week’s headliners, but there are deals in a number of categories.

The Galaxy S9 and S9+ are now out, and to celebrate its launch, Samsung is blowing it out big time. When you purchase an S9 or S9+, you can get The Samsung Ultimate Bundle, which consists of Samsung Gear IconX Wireless Headphones, Gear VR, and a Wireless Charger for $99, nearly a $400 value. Samsung is also offering more than $100 off on a power bundle. Outside of the Samsung’s deals, Verizon is doing a buy one get one free deal on S9 phones and S9s are 50 percent off at AT&T. These come with more strings than Samsung’s deal, but they’re still great deals.

Samsung may be leading the day in terms of discount news, but Microsoft and Pioneer are also bringing a lot of deals this week. Surface Pro i5 models are still $150, putting the 128GB version down to just $849. Surface Pro models aren’t the only things being discounted at the Microsoft Store: Surface Laptops with M3 and I5 processors are up to $200 off at Microsoft right now, with the M3 going for just $699. Meanwhile, Pioneer is offering an exclusive discount for our readers on a pair of their noise-cancelling lightning cable headphones.

EXCLUSIVE

  • Pioneer is offering a special discount just for Verge readers. With the promo code 25RAYZ4VERGE, our readers can get $25 off on the Pioneer Rayz Plus Noise-Cancelling Lightning Cable Earbuds at Amazon through this weekend. They usually sell for $149.95 and are currently on sale for $129. With our code, Verge readers can knock that down to $104.

]]> Taylor Palmer <![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy S9 deals, a Far Cry 5 SSD bundle, and more of the best tech discounts]]> https://www.theverge.com/good-deals/2018/3/10/17100116/best-tech-deals-samsung-galaxy-s9-plus-far-cry-5-preorder-bundle-sonos-one-google-pixel-2-xl 2018-03-10T11:00:02-05:00 2018-03-10T11:00:02-05:00

Samsung’s new flagship phones, the Galaxy S9 and S9+, have arrived, and although it’s not the biggest improvement since the S8, it’s still one of the best Android smartphones out there. There are plenty of places to preorder the new phone before its release on Friday, March 16th. If you’re looking for flexibility, your best option is direct with Samsung; you can get the phones unlocked at one of the lowest prices available at $719.99 for the S9 and $839.99 for the S9+. If you’re not too interested in the S9, but still want to get your hands on a new phone, other retailers are marking down strong Android competitors like the Google Pixel 2 and the S9’s predecessor, the S8.

The S9 might be Samsung’s biggest deals news this week, but it’s certainly not the only one. The manufacturer is also offering a great deal for gamers until April 28th. With the purchase of select, eligible SSDs like the Portable 1TB T5, 512GB 960 PRO M.2, 1TB 960 EVO NVMe M.2, 1TB 860 PRO 2.5” SATA III, 1TB 860 EVO 2.5” SATA III, and 1TB 860 EVO M.2 SATA, you’ll receive a game code for the hotly anticipated Far Cry 5 once the game is released on Tuesday, March 27th. Versions like the Portable 1TB T5 are already on sale, and tacking on the extra $60 value for the game code makes it a pretty solid, unique deal.

Wireless charging is pretty en vogue right now. Just about every major new phone supports wireless charging and a number of companies have released their own wireless charging pads. Of the dozens of options on the market, we ranked the RAVPower Fast Charge Wireless Charging Pad as the best, giving it a 9 out of 10 in our review in October. Verge readers are being offered an exclusive discount on this charger until 11:59 PM PT on Monday, March 5th with the code 34CHARGE, which brings the price from $44.99 down to $29.99.

In other smartphone deals news, the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are now available for preorder and Samsung is offering a pretty great deal on its new flagship phones. If you missed the Best Buy deal on March 2nd, Samsung is probably the best place to go get the phone now. Not only are they offering up to $350 off for trade ins, but they also are selling the S9 at just $719.99, cheaper than most carriers.

Last week, Microsoft announced that it would take $200 off of Intel i5 versions of the Surface Pro for the laptop’s five-year anniversary. The deal was only supposed to last through Presidents’ Day, but we’re well past the holiday and you can still get one of the popular touchscreen laptops starting at just $799. We don’t know how long this deal will be around, and we’re pretty lucky we still have it right now, so act fast.

Laptops aren’t the only hardware category being discounted this week. B&H is marking down Google Pixel XL phones for a limited time. For $579.99, you can get an unlocked Pixel XL with 128 GB of storage. If you’re in the market for a new phone and you don’t want to pay the $1,000 that gets you into the iPhone X or Samsung Galaxy S9+ game, this is a great deal.

If you don’t have the day off from work or school, you could be forgiven if you have no idea when Presidents’ Day is. Well, it’s on Monday, and retailers are trying to give people a reason to remember it by offering great tech deals in a number of categories. Best Buy’s Presidents’ Day sale features markdowns on Google Home bundles, 4K TVs, and more. Dell’s deal is bringing prices down on more than 140 products and Microsoft is offering discounts on nearly 100 laptops.

George Washington’s birthday isn’t the only one Microsoft is celebrating with discounts. The Surface Pro is officially five years old! For this weekend only, Surface Pro models are on sale for $200 off. You can get multiple models starting at $799 until Monday, February 19th.

Valentine’s Day is four days away, and if you need to get a gift for someone special in your life and haven’t yet, it’s crunch time. Amazon is already a major go-to when it comes to last-minute gifts with its free two-day shipping for Prime members, but now it’s slashed prices on a number of its major devices, so you can get a present at a discount and get it quickly.

If you’re not in the market for an Amazon device, other retailers are offering some really nice discounts on Bluetooth headphones. Anker brand Zolo headphones are being marked down on Amazon, Bose’s truly wireless SoundSport is on sale and all sorts of Beats models are down to the lowest price we’ve seen in a while.

If you’re feeling romantic, pick up a Fujifilm Instant Film Camera to capture your amorous evening or start a little love garden with your partner and one of our favorite gifts, the Click and Grow Smart Garden. If you’re not, get some of those noise-cancelling headphones and listen to The Smiths or something. There’s a gift for everyone.

If you missed last week’s Sonos One deal, you’re in luck. The sale only lasts as long as promotional stock is available, and it’s a minor miracle that there are still speakers left at the $349 price tag. If you’re looking for a gift for a tech-savvy special someone for Valentine’s Day, pick up a pair of speakers and hold onto that extra $50.

Sonos isn’t the only brand marking down some of its most popular products. Amazon is offering a great deal for cord-cutters right now.

The Apple HomePod is on its way. It’s been delayed for months, but while its arrival is exciting, Sonos is absolutely not going to let a young buck in the smart speaker game steal its thunder — even if it comes from Apple. After Apple announced that the HomePod would retail for $349, Sonos fired back immediately, announcing that for a limited time, you can now get two Sonos One smart speakers for $349. The Sonos is one of the best smart speakers on the market, and it’s a system that we’re already well familiar with. Get it before promotional stock runs out.
