Best Buy kicks off three-day sale this weekend with deals on Galaxy S23 Ultra, Google Pixel Watch and more

Official dates haven’t been announced yet, but history tells us that Amazon Prime Day is still about a month away. The online retailer’s shopping fest has become one of the biggest events of the summer, offering thousands of deals on a wide range of products. It’s Best Buy, however, kicking off the savings fest this weekend with a three-day sale that includes big discounts on everything from the Samsung Galaxy S23 to the Pixel Watch and even some of our favorite Chromebooks. We’ve highlighted some of our favorite deals below.

HP Chromebook 14a

If you’re a student on a budget or just need an affordable laptop for your daily emails and web browsing, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal right now than this HP Chromebook 14a. It won’t give you record-breaking performance, but it has all the features you’d want, including an HD webcam for video calling, a nice big touchpad with multi-touch support, and a plethora of ports, including an HDMI port for easily connecting to a TV or computer. a display. It also has an impressive battery life of up to 14 hours and can quickly recharge from 0% to 50% in just 45 minutes.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live wireless earphones

In the overwhelming sea of ​​wireless earbud options, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live stand out for a few reasons. They offer brilliant sound with extra bass, excellent voice call quality thanks to three microphones and a bone conduction sensor, and up to 8 hours of battery life. You also get ANC, fun colorways like blue and bronze, and a surprisingly secure and comfortable fit, thanks to the Live’s unique beanbag shape. We like these Galaxy Buds at their regular $150 price point, so obviously we love them $60 off.

OnePlus Nord N30 5G

There is a lot to like about the recently released OnePlus Nord N30 at its $300 price tag. It has a bright 6.7-inch display with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate and offers enough performance to play your favorite games . There’s also a 108MP rear camera with 3x lossless zoom, and OnePlus continues to offer one of the fastest recharges available: 30 minutes will get you close to 80%. The N30 looks even more enticing with these Best Buy deals. For starters, you’ll receive a free $30 Best Buy E-Gift Card with purchase, so if you’re willing to activate it today, Best Buy will knock an extra $100 off the price.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is the top pick in our roundup of the best Android phones in 2023, and it’s not hard to guess why. From the excellent build quality and materials to the beautiful 6.8-inch AMOLED display and incredible array of cameras, no expense has been spared in crafting this year’s Ultra. It also offers incredible performance, impressive battery life given its capabilities, and even comes with an S-pen for all your note-taking or adult coloring book needs. The only real gripe about the phone is its high price, which Best Buy helps offset somewhat with a steep discount: $225 off, whether you activate it today or not.

Google Pixel watch

The Google Pixel Watch is Google’s long-awaited first entry into the smartwatch space. It features a high-end, premium design, with a stainless steel casing (most wearables use aluminum), as well as the company’s pure vision for Wear OS. There’s also deep Fitbit integration for activity and workout tracking, plus high-end features like the ability to take your ECG and track your sleep. Since the Pixel Watch is usually a bit more expensive than other smartwatches, we like to find it on sale. Best Buy right now is taking $50 off the Wi-Fi model and $70 off LTE.

Wired Google Nest doorbell

There are many smart doorbell cameras to choose from these days, but if you already use one or more Google products, you really should consider Google Nest. It has fast and reliable notifications for motion and event alerts, is smart enough to distinguish between people, pets and packages, and has a sleek design.

This is the newest wired version of the Nest, which is 30% smaller than its predecessor, sports an improved camera and can connect to your existing doorbell wiring. Yes, installing a wired doorbell can be a little more complicated than a wireless one, but the benefits of having a doorbell that is always on and always recording, with no batteries to replace or recharge, are well worth it. Best Buy is taking a modest $30 off, but we don’t see sales on this model very often.

Lenovo Flex 3i 8th Generation Chromebook

The Lenovo Flex 3i Gen 8 is another Chromebook we like for students and other budget-conscious shoppers, as it offers great value for money. There’s enough energy here to get your schoolwork done, keep in touch with friends and family, and even kick back and binge watch your favorite show – the rotating touchscreen display, HDMI port, and built-in card reader make it a great machine for consume content. The Flex 3i Gen 8 has only been out for a few weeks, so we like that Best Buy is already offering a $70 discount on it.

As you can imagine, the deals will start to ramp up over the next few weeks with Father’s Day, the 4th of July, and Prime Day on the way, but that shouldn’t stop you from taking advantage of this weekend’s discounts. There are some great prices here and they may not last long. Best Buy sales end on Sunday.
