Deals: First price drop hits new Galaxy A16 at $175, Galaxy Watch 7, touchscreen Chromebook Plus $100 off, more – Today news

You have less than 48-hours now to score the big-time deals on Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, alongside our bonus $50 credit, but the deals just keep coming and we have some notable options to scope out today. Alongside the best prices of the year on Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 models, we also spotted the very first straight up cash discount on Samsung’s new ultra-affordable Galaxy A16 smartphone at $175 and a $100 price drop on Lenovo’s 14-inch touchscreen Chromebook Plus Flex 5i. Those offers join ongoing deals on Google Find My Device trackers as well as SSD enclosures, chargers, robot vacuums, and more. Scope it all out down below. 

Much like we saw throughout 2024, Samsung is offering major discounts on its brand new S25 devices here today for folks who jump on the preorders. The discounts vary depending on which model you preorder – S25, S25+ or S25 Ultra – but we are either way looking at some major savings for early adopters of the new handsets. 

Amazon now offering up to $80 off Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, but here’s how to score one from just $38

The clock is seriously tickin’ now on the wild Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra pre-order offers, some of which can deliver a new Galaxy Watch 7 as low as just $38 right now. But Amazon is also now offering some notable prices on the latest Galaxy Watch 7 even without pre-ordering the new phones. Perhaps the most notable here is on the 40mm LTE-connected variant that is now down at $269.99 shipped from the usual $350 list price, but there are price drops across just about every model in the lineup today.

There are no straight up deals from Samsung on the Galaxy Watch 7 right now, but as we mentioned above, the deals live on Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra pre-orders in combination with our exclusive $50 credit can deliver some wild prices on the latest Samsung smartwatches. Some of these add-on prices have jumped up a touch from our initial mention last week, but you can still land a $300 smartwatch for $38 or a $650 Ultra at $429 off the list price – these are easily some of the lowest prices we have ever tracked on Samsung’s latest.

Samsung’s new ultra-affordable Galaxy A16 sees first cash deal down at $175 via Amazon

Samsung brought its ultra-budget-friendly Galaxy A16 smartphone stateside early last month at $199 alongside the Fit3 fitness tracker wearable in early January. At the time you could bundle the two together to score the wearable at 50% off, but Amazon is stepping in today with the first straight up discount on the phone at $174.99 shipped. It’s clearly no flagship Galaxy S25, S25+, or Galaxy S25 Ultra, but if you’re looking for a super casual device, the price is certainly right.

Save $100 on Lenovo’s 14-inch touchscreen Chromebook Plus Flex 5i today at $399

Over at Lenovo, you’ll find its Flex 5i Chromebook Plus currently going for $399 shipped. That’s straight up a $100 discount on a notebook that regularly fetches $499. This particular model, which hasn’t seen a lot of discounts since its debut, is now seeing its first discount of the year with a $100 markdown. This is one of the lowest prices we have tracked for this 2-in-1 unit which is also going for the same price right now at Best Buy, and you can learn more about it below.
