'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?

ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

You don't have to be deeply invested in technology to know just how popular the Samsung brand is. Over the last several decades, the Korean tech giant has dominated several consumer markets, including mobile, kitchen appliances, home entertainment, and more. So, in the midst of the holiday shopping season, one thing is for certain: You're guaranteed to find deals on various Samsung products, even though the Black Friday and Cyber Monday frenzy has ended -- especially since the Discover Samsung sale kicked off this week. 

Also: The best holiday deals you can find

While the two biggest shopping holidays have come and gone, some of the best offers on Samsung products can still be found across major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and, of course, Samsung itself. Here's the best ones we've found.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is one of the best big phones you can buy in 2023. While the market of phablets is more bustling than ever, especially with Apple and Google offering Pro and Max models now, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is more feature-packed and feels more premium in the hand thanks to its blend of glass and aluminum. It also supports 8K video recording and has a built-in S Pen stylus for your creative needs.

You can still buy the Galaxy S23 Ultra for $899 after Cyber Monday, a $300 discount from retail, across major retailers. You'll save just as much on Samsung's website with an eligible trade-in.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip series has always sold better than its Z Fold, likely because of its familiar form factor and more affordable price. While the latest Z Flip 5 doesn't transform into a pocketable tablet, it does open and close for one of the best one-handed experiences money can buy today.

Right now, the previously $1,000 foldable can be had for $849. You're getting 256GB of storage, a more durable design, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset capable of running graphics-intensive apps like video editors.

  • Current price: $699
  • Original price: $1,099

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is no longer the latest and greatest from the company, but it's still a fantastic flagship-level tablet, especially if you're looking to replace your laptop with one. ZDNET reviewed the Ultra model last year and praised it for its premium fit and finish, DeX mode capability, and brilliantly vivid display.

Right now, the previously $1,100 tablet can be had for just $700, an all-time low in price. You're getting a 14.6-inch display, an S Pen stylus, and a fantastic machine for all your media-consuming needs.

  • Current price: $2,400
  • Original price: $3,300

I tested the Samsung S95C TV just a few months ago and remarked about how far the company's OLED technology had come. Watching Avatar: The Way of Water on the TV was quite the spectacle, with the darker scenes, in particular, being rich in detail and contrast, and the brighter scenes being just as visually stimulating. 

The 65-inch model, which is listed in this deal, was just the right size for my living room, but Samsung does offer the S95C in a smaller 55-inch frame if preferred.

The TU690T model is no flagship OLED from Samsung, but it's a great option for folks who want a big screen without the big price. Currently, Best Buy has the 4K LED TV on sale for $579 ($200 off), putting it in line with similar mid-range 75-inch panels from Hisense, LG, and TCL.

For the price, you're getting a Tizen-operated TV with useful smart features like Google Assistant, Apple AirPlay 2, and quick access to popular streaming services (Disney+, Max, Netflix, etc.). The TU690T also supports 4K upscaling for when you're watching content that isn't as high-resolution but want to experience it as if it was.

How did we choose these holiday deals?

ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy -- devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. 

We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
