Free watch plus enhanced trade-in equals major savings
Samsung Galaxy S22
The smallest of the S22 series has been the old one out for so much of this year when it comes to deals, so it should be no surprise that the discounts on it vary dramatically between retailers. If you grab it at Amazon, the black is $553 while the other colors are around $675, whereas Best Buy has a flat $100 off all colors.Then Samsung only has $75 off, but enhanced trade-in can get it down to $225 and you can also get a Galaxy Watch 4 or Watch 4 Classic for free with purchase.
Samsung’s flagship phones are some of the most enticing handsets you can find. Even if you have a relatively recent phone, you might be tempted to get a Samsung Galaxy S22 this Black Friday because it’s just such a great deal. Depending on which device you add for trade-in, you can get the Samsung flagship at an incredible price, going for as little as $225 at Samsung.
Samsung is also throwing in a Galaxy Watch 4 or Galaxy Watch 4 Classic with that Galaxy S22, so you can try out one of the best smartwatches alongside your shiny new flagship.
Why buy the Samsung Galaxy S22?
The Samsung Galaxy S22 is still one of the best phones the company launched this year, and it’s definitely more pocketable than the Galaxy S22+ or the S22 Ultra. While it can’t win against the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 in the portability department, it doesn’t offer any moving parts and is thus more durable. It’s an all-around wonderful phone for those who are more comfortable with a classic form factor and would like to spend less money. You also get better cameras with the S22 compared to the Z Flip 4.
When you look at the Samsung Galaxy S22 itself, it’s clear that it offers almost all of the best features also found in its bigger and more expensive siblings. It comes with a bright, vibrant 6.1-inch screen with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage. The only thing that worries us a bit about the S22 is the small 3,700mAh battery life, which can make you yearn for your charger quicker than you might want to. But, overall, it’s still a competent package that’s easier to hold in one hand than many other phones.
(And besides, that’s what power banks are for, and plenty of compact models like the Zendure Supermini and Anker PowerCore series are on sale right now, too.)
Why is this a good deal?
Considering the Samsung Galaxy S22 launched at $800, getting it for less than half of that price is nuts. You’ll have to give away your current phone, but let’s be real — if you don’t trade in your device, it will just sit in a drawer until it’s practically nothing but a glorified paperweight. It makes much more sense to get the most out of it by trading it in for a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S22.
The handset is one of our favorite Samsung phones, and if you’ve always wanted to taste some of that sweet One UI 5, it’s the device to get right now. There are plenty of other great phone deals happening this Black Friday, so keep an eye out.
