Black Friday Samsung deals offer an annual chance to save on everything from high-end TVs to smartwatches. Not only will you find big savings at all the usual retailers, but we often see similar prices available via Samsung direct, with additional freebies and incentives thrown in during major sales events. Of course, we're still months away from 2023's event, but if you've got your eye on Samsung's release slate for this year it's well worth getting to know the kinds of offers we could be seeing.
We at GamesRadar+ generally occupy ourselves with Black Friday gaming deals, and Samsung's devices are increasingly moving into the world of high end play. The company's TVs and Monitors will really bring your console and PC games to life, their tablets hold up against all the major streaming services, and their phones are up there with the real industry leaders.
That's why we're rounding up everything we expect to see from Black Friday Samsung deals right here, ensuring you're up to date on all the discounts that could be heading our way this Fall.
When will Black Friday Samsung deals start?
Black Friday Samsung deals will fall on November 24 this year, though we often see official discounts landing as early as the start of Thanksgiving week. While sales will start picking up from October onwards, we generally see the highest value savings during this week.
Where to find Black Friday Samsung deals in 2023
Naturally, the biggest Black Friday Samsung deals may well be at the brand's own retail site. However, you'll also find plenty of discounts (and sometimes additional bundle incentives) at other retailers as well. These are the stores we'll be watching when the prices start falling:
US:
Samsung: often the first to offer major discounts
Amazon: regularly price matches record lows with speedy shipping
Best Buy: often includes additional bundle incentives
Newegg: best for phones, components, and storage
Walmart: excellent for budget TV and Chromebook models
UK:
Samsung: free gifts and big discounts when you go straight to the source
Amazon: regular discounts and Prime shipping
Currys: often offers additional subscription service bundles
John Lewis: regularly price matches and offers extra guarantees
Very: massive range and plenty of older models available
What to expect from Black Friday Samsung deals on TVs
Black Friday Samsung TV deals span a considerable price range. From the budget TU7000 to the ultra expensive NeoQLED 8K panels, there's something for everyone on these shelves. If you're looking for something budget-friendly, we'd recommend sticking with the TU7000, or keeping a strong eye on The Frame models. Samsung itself has been offering its cheapest TU7000 model for $299 for a few months now - $100 or so off the regular $400 cost. However, we'd recommend keeping a close eye on Best Buy and Walmart for more offers on the big day as well.
Samsung's The Frame displays always get involved in the holiday sales. We've seen the 2022 43-inch model at around $750 in the past, a rate we expect to be exceeded in this year's Black Friday Samsung deals - especially considering the age of these displays.
If you're looking to spend big this year, you'll likely be able to save big as well. We've seen well over $1,000 off Samsung's 8K displays over the last few months, with Samsung and Best Buy offering the biggest savings overall. You'll still be spending four figures here, but there's a far greater likelihood of breaking past the $2,000 barrier here.
What to expect from Black Friday Samsung laptop deals
From the Samsung Galaxy Book to cheaper Galaxy Chromebooks, Samsung's machines are a staple of Black Friday laptop deals. Your cheapest option will be the Samsung Chromebook 4. We regularly see Intel Celeron N4020 configurations of this model (packing 4GB RAM and 32GB of storage for well under $150 / £150), and we will likely see that cost reduced to two figures come November. However, if you're after something a little more sophisticated, we'd recommend looking at the Galaxy Chromebook 2 360 or the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro.
The former started life at $429 / £419 back in April, but has since hit prices of $399 / £319. That's for a base 4GB / 64GB storage configuration, but you'll find options reaching further up the price scale here. We would expect a boost over both of those record lows in Black Friday Samsung deals this year, potentially hitting $349 / £299 come November.
The Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro is the heavy hitter of the bunch. Packing the latest components into a slimline, luxury form factor worthy of any backpack, this is a pricey machine. The 13.3-inch version kicked off at $1,099.99 / £999 for an i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD, with prices ultimately tumbling as low as $799.99 / £739 throughout the year. We would expect these entry level configurations to drop a little further later on, though, potentially hitting $699.99 / £649.
What to expect from Black Friday Samsung phone deals
Of course, if you're after some of the most innovative devices on the market, you'll be heading to Black Friday Samsung deals in search of a new phone. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, Z Fold 4, and S22 are the latest releases in this category, but come with a sometimes hefty price tag to match. You're better off heading to other retailers if you're after older devices, as prices often fall far further, especially once you factor in trade-in discounts as well.
However, we have seen the official Samsung store offering some significant discounts on its high fliers in recent times. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 has seen discounts of $300 without a trade-in, with those savings soaring to $1,000 off when you send another device back as well. Considering that brings the cheapest handset from $1,919 to $619.99 at its cheapest, it's well worth checking in at the source here. If you're after something a little cheaper, though, you're more likely to find more reliable savings on the previous generation Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. Unlocked, we've seen the $1,199.99 base MSRP slip down as low as $639.99 this year alone.
The Z Flip 4 also looks like a hot contender in this year's Black Friday Samsung deals. The latest model sees regular savings with trade-ins on top at Samsung, but an unlocked handset that doesn't require anything extra from you will generally set you back around $900 at the moment. We've seen that cost slip down to $850 in the past - but it's still an improvement over the $1,059.99 MSRP, and one we expect to see bettered come November. The Z Flip 3, by contrast, is going to be seriously hot this year. We've already seen the device dancing around a $350 sales price by itself, with no strings attached. That's excellent news for anyone after a little pizazz.
Samsung has been offering some equally lucrative discounts on its base S22 model, with big trade-in discounts and some solid savings separately as well. We've seen $50 - $100 off Verizon units (dropping the $849.99 cost to $749 / $799), but an unlocked model has hit record lows of $700 in the past as well.
What to expect from Black Friday Samsung watch deals
The latest Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 will be the focus of many a deal hunter's gaze in this year's offers. Released in August, we haven't seen too much cash off these smartwatches since launch, but with a few months under their belts, Black Friday Samsung deals could present the perfect opportunity for some first discounts. The 40mm version comes in at $279.99 / £269, with the 44mm launching at $309.99 / £289. Those prices haven't seen any drops yet, but if we do see discounts in November we could be looking at $259.99 / $299.99 (£249 / £269) positions.
We will likely be seeing bigger discounts on the previous generation Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. The 42mm version of this older model only recently hit its lowest ever price at $199, and has dropped to £149 in the UK so far. Launching back in August of last year, the $349.99 / £249 watch only hit $299 / £199 in previous Black Friday Samsung deals. This year's discounts will only improve things, potentially even landing at $149 in the US - we expect things to return to £149 in the UK, though.
What to expect from Black Friday Samsung tablet deals
The main players in the Samsung tablet world are currently the S8, S7, and the S7 FE. If you're looking to spend under $200 / £200, you can also check out the A8. The S8 is the latest and greatest to hit the shelves, launching at $699.99 / £649 and only ever reaching $544 / £549 at its lowest so far since February. Looking at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 over a similar timescale, it's easy to predict a $499 / £499 sale price on this model over Black Friday Samsung deals. If you're after that previous generation, though, you'll likely be paying a lot less.
The Tab S7 has been seen at $449.99 back in February, a price we're looking forward to returning over the November sales. However, the FE version (a budget release) will be even cheaper. The $529 / £519 tablet has already dropped to $379.99 / £409 over the course of 2022, and we wouldn't be surprised to see these numbers dip even further to $349 / £399 when November rolls around.
