$1,998
Justin Kahn -

Joining the collection of Super Bowl 4K TV deals we are tracking, Amazon is now offering the 75-inch Samsung Class QLED 4K The Frame Smart TV for $1,997.99 shipped. Regularly $3,000 at Best Buy where it is now selling for $2,000, this is up to $1,002 off the going rate. You will also find it marked down to $2,000 directly from Samsung right now and select accounts that sign up for the Education, First Responder, and Military program offers on this page will see it drop even lower than the Amazon deal. Although this option does appears to be quite limited and firmly planted in the YMMV category. Either way, we are looking at a deep discount, the best list in months, and a price more than $100 under our previous mention. Head below for more details.

Amazon is now offering the Samsung T7 2TB Portable Solid-State Drive in blue for $153.92 shipped.

It doesn’t include the rubber outer shell of the T7 Shield, but still provides 6-foot drop protection nonetheless. Head below for more details.

Rikka Altland -

Amazon today offers the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 5G starting at $839.55 shipped for the 128GB capacity.

$8
Justin Kahn -

Amazon is now offering the Samsung EVO Select 64GB microSDXC memory card for $9.59 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $25. However, you can now land this one directly from Samsung for $8 with free shipping. This model launched back in late 2021 at $15 and now carries a $13 regular price. While the Amazon listing is the best we have tracked since last April, the Samsung direct price is matching the lowest we have tracked all-time there. The up to 130MB/s speeds might not be quite fast as the pro model, but it is also a more affordable solution and a notable option for folks who just need a quick and casual microSD card for cameras, Nintendo Switch, and more. You’ll also find Samsung’s 6-proof protection here to safeguard it against water, less than desirable temperatures, X-rays, magnets, and unfortunate drops.

Amazon is currently offering the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 32GB Android Tablet for $149 shipped in several colorways.

Orig. $598 From $430

Woot is now discounting nearly the entire lineup of Samsung’s latest Frame 2022 4K AirPlay 2 TVs. Shipping is free for Prime members, though you’ll have to pay a $6 delivery fee otherwise. Across the board, these are mostly down at all-time lows, if not sitting in at the second-best prices we’ve seen.

Also on sale are refurbished models with even steeper discounts attached, which we break down below the fold.

Unlike your average TV, Samsung’s Frame lineup mixes things up with a more aesthetically-pleasing design that ditches the usual black plastic bezels for a picture frame-inspired design. So living up to that Frame naming convention, the TVs sport 4K HDR QLED panels with 120Hz refresh rates up on the wall, while also taking advantage of the new Matte Display anti-glare screen so content looks great in any room. That also helps enable the unique design that blends in amongst the rest of your home decor and can even double as a digital picture frame for both personal photos and gallery-quality artwork.
