Google Pixel 8

5G, Unlocked, 128GB Storage, 8GB RAM, Google Tensor G3 Processor, Android 14, 6.2-Inch OLED Screen with 2400 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 50 + 12MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 4,575mAh Battery with 27W Wired and 18W Wireless Charging Support, Three Color Options

If you managed to resist buying probably the greatest foldable device in the world at a $300 discount last week, good luck doing the same now that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is marked down by an even heftier 400 bucks with no special requirements.

Of course, as amazing as that bad boy is, we can totally understand if you're more attracted to the "conventional" (read way cheaper) Pixel 8. Google's "vanilla" 2023 high-end handset is still on sale at $200 off its $699 list price in an absolutely bonkers spring promotion that's unlikely to last much longer.

You probably don't have a lot of time left to get the versatile and productive Surface Pro 9 tablet at a huge $350 discount either in a powerful Intel Core i5 variant with a respectable (and speedy) 256GB SSD in tow.

So many unbelievable smartphone deals!

There's truly something for everyone here, from a couple of mid-range Motorolas available at record low prices to a costlier mid-range member of the Samsung Galaxy that's become more attractive than ever after we found out its sequel is not coming to the US.

Then you have a Pixel mid-ranger at an unbeatable price of its own, a Pixel high-ender unlikely to remain discounted much longer (just like its little brother), Motorola's latest foldable flagship for a whopping $300 under its list price, and a heavily marked-down 512GB Galaxy Z Flip 5 model. 

Still with us? Then you might also want to consider the Galaxy S24 Ultra super-flagship, which is no longer technically discounted, including instead a very nice and very valuable Amazon gift in its regular price.

This week's top tablet offers are all Samsung

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+

Wi-Fi Only, 64GB Storage, 4GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 Processor, 11-Inch TFT LCD Screen with 1920 x 1200 Pixel Resolution and 90Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 7,040mAh Battery with 15W Charging Capabilities, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 5MP Front-Facing Camera, Quad Speaker System, Silver and Graphite Color Options

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE

Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, 6GB RAM, Exynos 1380 Processor, 10.9-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 2304 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 90Hz Refresh Rate Technology, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, AKG Tuned Dual Speakers with Dolby Atmos Support, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, 8,000mAh Battery with 45W Charging Capabilities, Multiple Color Options, S Pen Included

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8

Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, 8GB RAM, 11-Inch TFT LCD Screen with 2560 x 1600 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Processor, 13 + 6MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 12MP Front Camera, 8,000mAh Battery with 45W Charging Support, Graphite Color, S Pen Included

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+

Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, 8GB RAM, Exynos 1380 Processor, 12.4-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 2560 x 1600 Pixel Resolution and 90Hz Refresh Rate Technology, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, AKG Tuned Dual Speakers with Dolby Atmos Support, 8 + 8MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, 10,090mAh Battery with 45W Charging Capabilities, Silver Color, S Pen Included

Because we here at PhoneArena are great fans of diversity and choice, it was never our intention to make this category all about one company. But Surface Pro 9 aside, the best tablets you can currently buy at a discount all have "Galaxy" in their names.

Which of these four should you pick? That's very tough to say, and it obviously depends a lot on your size preferences and budget. The 11-inch Galaxy Tab A9 Plus is clearly the best option for the most cash-strapped buyers, while the 11-inch Galaxy Tab S8 is the top choice for power users on a relatively tight budget despite its advanced age.

Meanwhile, the difference between the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE Plus is pretty clear, and whichever size you prefer, we guarantee you'll be happy with the overall performance and especially the long-term software support.

How about a discounted smartwatch?

Google Pixel Watch

41mm, Wear OS, GPS, Bluetooth, Stainless Steel Case, Active Band, Multiple Colors, Circular AMOLED Display with Up to 1000 Nits Brightness, Heart Rate Monitor, ECG, Blood Oxygen Sensor, Fall Detection, Compass, Altimeter, Built-in Microphone and Speaker

Apple Watch Series 8 (41mm)

GPS, Bluetooth, 4G LTE, Always-On Retina Display, Crack-Resistant Front Crystal, IP6X Dust Resistance, Swimproof, ECG Monitoring, Blood Oxygen Sensor, Fall Detection, Crash Detection, Silver Aluminum Case, White Sport Band

Yes, we only have two recommendations for you this week in this category, but they're both extremely value-packed devices. The Pixel Watch is... not perfect, even for the most passionate Google fans, while the Apple Watch Series 8 is almost identical to the Series 9, thus looking like a very smart buy at a massive $200 discount with standalone cellular connectivity.

What a spectacular trio of budget-friendly earbuds!

Apple AirPods (2nd Gen)

True Wireless Earbuds with Lightning Charging Case, High-Quality Sound, Apple H1 Chip, One-Tap Setup, Always On Hey Siri Support, Up to 5 Hours of Listening Time, More Than 24 Hours of Combined Battery Life, Audio Sharing

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2

True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Ambient Sound, IPX2 Water Resistance, Up to 7.5 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, 29 Hours of Total Battery Life with Wireless Charging Case, Three Color Options
$99 99
$149 99
Buy at BestBuy

Google Pixel Buds Pro

True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, Custom 11mm Speaker Drivers, Volume EQ, Beamforming Microphones for Crystal Clear Calls, IPX4 Water Resistance, Up to 31 Hours of Battery Life with Wireless Charging Case, Multiple Color Options

We're sure you've heard of the US basketball dream team, but have you ever heard of the global earbuds industry's dream team? These Samsung, Apple, and Google products definitely make the cut, especially at hefty discounts ranging from $40 to $60. 

Can you do better than the "regular" second-gen AirPods, non-Pro Galaxy Buds 2, and Pixel Buds Pro? Well, the AirPods Pro 2 and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are basically the Michael Jordan and LeBron James of the market, but they sure do not come cheap, so their non-Pro "cousins" (as well as Google's best earbuds yet) should make you very happy with their bang for buck today.
