Customers can additionally get $150 off the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro
Galaxy S22
The Galaxy S22 went almost unnoticed while the Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra grabbed attention at launch. But we can’t deny the value of the vanilla Galaxy S22 with its crisp 120Hz AMOLED display, top-end processor and fast-charging capabilities. With an effective price of just $225 (after trade-in), this is a must-have deal.
Black Friday may be over, but the deals certainly aren’t running out any time soon as we’re counting down to Cyber Monday. We’ve already come across a ton of deals on some of the best phones around, including the Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra. You can now get the entry-level model of the Galaxy S22 series for as low as $225, provided you have the right device to trade in. Samsung’s own phones and Apple’s iPhones have a higher trade-in value than most, including Google’s Pixel lineup.
If you have a Galaxy Z Fold 3 to trade in, you can knock $500 off the MSRP. However, the trade-in value drops to $400 for the Galaxy S21+ and $375 for the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Older smartphones are also good value, so if you have a Galaxy S20 FE or Galaxy Note 20 5G lying around, you’ll save $225 and still get the Galaxy S22. If you don’t have a device to trade in, Samsung is offering an instant $75 discount on all orders, bringing the cost down to $725.
Why buy the Samsung Galaxy S22
Although it sits below the Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra, the vanilla Galaxy S22 is a great choice if you want a high-end phone for yourself or your loved ones ahead of the holiday season. It has a 6.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, in addition to 128GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.
The 50MP main rear camera and 12MP ultra-wide and 10MP telephoto sensors complete the rear camera layout. While Samsung launched the phone with Android 12, the flagship has now received the coveted Android 13 update with the One UI 5 software layer on top. While the 3,700mAh battery leaves a lot to be desired, the inclusion of 25W fast wired charging and 15W wireless charging speeds ensures the device doesn’t take long to recharge.
Why is this a good deal?
Samsung is no stranger to exciting offers and promotions. Just a few days ago, the company offered either the Galaxy Watch 4 or the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic with the Galaxy S22. Although that deal no longer exists, customers can get $150 off the new Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and $100 off the standard Watch 5 when purchasing the Galaxy S22. Even the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are $100 off, making them one of the best wireless earbuds around.
This Galaxy S22 deal makes logical sense if you’ve missed the company’s previous promotions on the phone. Even better, customers can choose the smartphone in online exclusive colors such as Graphite, Violet and Sky Blue. But Samsung says these variants would take three to four weeks to ship, so check them out only if you don’t mind waiting until mid-December for the Galaxy S22.
If the Galaxy S22 isn’t for you, Black Friday deals are also running on the high-end Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra. On the other hand, if you already own a Galaxy S22, now is a good time to check out some of the best covers/cases for the flagship.
