Want to stay up to date with the latest and greatest smartphone trends? The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G may well be the way to go. The device has many of the same specs as the standard Samsung Galaxy S10+, but it adds 5G connectivity — meaning that when 5G is available in your area, you’ll be able to take advantage of the super-fast speeds.

Apart from that, the device has a dual-lens front-facing camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, and 256GB of storage — which should be more than enough for the majority of people. And, it’s available for $250 off its normal price for both the Verizon and the Sprint variant of the phone. Make sure to get the version for your carrier — the Verizon variant, for example, won’t work with any other carrier, and nor will the Sprint version.

Save up to $1,150 on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra today
Recent apps view on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

Tablets are great if you're the sort of person who doesn't want to lug around a laptop all the time and finds having a tablet an excellent alternative. If that's the case and you want to use a tablet as a laptop replacement, then you'll want to go for one of the best tablets on the market, such as the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. Luckily, there's a pretty substantial Memorial Day offer from Samsung that gives you a straight discount from $950 to $1,200, as well as up to $800 worth of trade-in credit. That means you could potentially get the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra for as low as $150, assuming you trade in a high-end tablet, although you're more likely to get half of that if yours is a couple of years old. Still, the original $250 discount plus another $400-$800 can be pretty substantial.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra
When we originally reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, our conclusion was that it was a hard tablet to recommend, primarily because it was outrageously expensive, especially since the iPad Pro is cheaper. That said, with the discount and potential trade-in credit, the price isn't so bad, and some of the other excellent features start to stand out, such as the truly massive 14.6-inch screen, which is bigger than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Of course, that does come with its own problem, which is that it's pretty heavy to hold, especially for long periods, although if you use it with a case that has a stand, that issue can be substantially mitigated.
