The Samsung Galaxy S series is one of the most successful smartphones on the market today. With a stunning design, durable build quality, and a strong set of features, it’s not hard to see why. These devices come in high price tags but with the recent release of the S10 lineup, it’s now easier than ever to score the older models for a lower cost, such as the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.

Amazon currently has a deal on the factory unlocked 64GB version that lets you have it for only $542.

Since it’s factory unlocked, getting this smartphone means you won’t be tied to any carrier. It also costs less than the accumulated monthly lease payments with a chosen provider. Frequent travelers will find it convenient since they can avoid excessive roaming charges.

BUY NOW

The S9 Plus flaunts a 6.2-inch AMOLED screen with Infinity Display and Quad HD+ (2,960 x 1,440) resolution. Whether you’re binge-watching on Netflix, catching up on the latest news, or just scrolling through your Instagram feed, you can expect incredible display quality with gorgeous colors and perfect contrast every time. You can easily switch up the resolution and screen’s color to your liking as well. This is, without a doubt, one of the best smartphone screens right now.

Under the hood, this device packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor and 6GB of RAM. This ensures efficient and responsive multitasking, quick launching of apps, and smooth split-screen operation. Graphics performance is also superb, with games like Tekken, Sonic Forces, and The Sims: Mobile running without a sweat.

Perhaps what makes the Galaxy S9 Plus stand out is its “reimagined” camera. It has a 12-megapixel variable aperture lens that captures incredible shots in both bright and low-light conditions. A multi-frame noise reduction feature is also added, an image processing technique that basically removes graininess and noise in a photo. Also worth noting are the Live Focus which works like Apple’s Portrait mode, the Super Slow Motion camera mode for slow-mo shots, and the AR Emojis that lets you create your own animated emoji through a motion-tracking technology.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus may not be the latest Samsung smartphone, but it’s specs and features are solid enough to provide a fun and convenient mobile experience.

Get the unlocked version (64GB) today for only $542.

Samsung S90D 4K OLED TV.

If you're looking for Cyber Monday deals and want to zoom directly in on one of the best Cyber Monday OLED TV deals, Amazon has you covered. Today, you can get any size (from 42 to 83 inches) of the Samsung S90D OLED on sale for between 28% and 38% off. That makes the 42-inch version just $898 after a 36% discount from $1,398 and the gigantic 83-inch version a more tolerable $3,298 after a 34% discount from $4,998.

Savings can range from $500 to $1,700, and no matter which size of TV you want, you get a good discount.

The 9th Gen iPad with Apple’s A13 Bionic chip is only $200 today

The Apple iPad has been a popular holiday item for several years now. With Cyber Monday officially here, we’re excited to see so many great iPad deals available. That leads us to this offer we found: For a limited time, when you purchase the 9th Gen iPad with A13 Bionic, you’ll only pay $200. At full price, this iPad sells for $480. We had the opportunity to test this model a while back, and our iPad expert had the following to say: “The iPad 10.2 (2021) is the best iPad you can buy today. There are few discernible upgrades over the previous two generations, but if you don't have one, this is the one to get. If you do, there's no point in upgrading.” If that's not a solid argument for grabbing this 9th Gen iPad deal, I don't know what is.

Why you should buy the 9th Gen iPad
Even though the A14 version of the iPad was released back in 2022, it’s not unusual for Apple to still sell the A13 version brand-new. And then, when holidays like Cyber Monday and Christmas roll around, the company knocks a few extra dollars off this 2021 device. Don’t be fooled either: the Apple A13 Bionic is an incredible chip that delivers a buttery smooth iPadOS experience, complete with fast load times, animations, and excellent media playback.
