Samsung is more willing to discount its devices than Apple is, but given that it’s Black Friday, Amazon has discounts on both. We’ve also stumbled upon some other interesting deals, including Nix and some VR headsets. Starting with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, Amazon has models with 512GB and 1TB of storage. Unfortunately, the 256GB one is not included in this week’s deals. While the 2024 S phones are just a few months away with some pre-order perks, the S23 Ultra boasts one of the best cameras of 2023 and even its predecessor, the S22 Ultra, is still available. The Galaxy S23+ is also available at a lower price point for those who don’t need a 200 MP main camera or periscope zoom. Along with this, the S23+ is scheduled to receive 3 more OS upgrades and will see security fixes until 2028, so its age is not a big concern. Additionally, you can pick up a new pair of TWS buds – either the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 or the Buds2 Pro. The Pro model has dual speakers (tweeter + woofer) for better sound along with an IPX7 rating, offering more protection against water. On the other hand, the Galaxy Buds2 is still considerably cheaper and offers features like active noise cancellation and wireless charging for the case. Then there’s the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro, which surprisingly doesn’t have a successor this year. This model has a large 590mAh battery and is rated IP68 (50m water resistance) and has ECG and blood pressure monitoring. Samsung’s redesigned SmartTag2, last month, launched with new features such as Lost Mode and the new Compass View. Moving to Apple, the latest Apple iPad (2022) is similar to the Air but with an Apple A14 instead of an M1 chipset. This model is great for those who don’t need too much computing power. If you do need extra computing power, the Apple MacBook Air would be a better option. Talking about Apple Watch, the Apple Watch Ultra is designed for adventure and can dive to 40m plus also has a depth gauge. It also has ECG and fall detection and has the ability to track Apple AirTags. On the other hand, the Apple Watch SE (2022) offers similar features with more basic protection features. As for Nothing, the Nothing Phone (1) and (2) are available, with the latter offering a larger and more powerful experience. Finally, two VR headsets, the Meta Quest 2, is supported by game developers and comes with a $100 Amazon gift card. And the Sony PlayStation VR2 is another option that is only compatible with the PS5.
