Black Friday Samsung deals: $300 off Galaxy S22 Ultra, $2,500 off 85-inch TV – ZDNet

I always say that you should be a fan of the product, not the brand. But when a brand makes electronics for virtually all facets of life, it’s hard to run against the grain. Korean electronics maker, Samsung, has been churning out quality tech for decades, including smartphones, wearables, TVs, and appliances that live in households worldwide.  

Naturally, there’s a bounty of jaw-dropping deals to be had come Black Friday. In fact, the nation’s largest retailers have already started the holiday shopping festivities, slashing prices across the board on Samsung’s finest products and gadgets. But don’t worry, I’ve done the dirty work, scoured the circulars, and listed the very best promotions down below. 

Best early Black Friday 2022 Samsung deals overall

Below, you’ll find my top picks for early Black Friday Samsung deals.

  • Current Price: $899
  • Original Price: $1199

I’ve tested too many smartphones to count in 2022, but the one that continues to linger as the best of the best is Samsung’s own Galaxy S22 Ultra. Unless you’re a small-phone enthusiast, the S22 Ultra is as complete as a modern-day smartphone gets: a 6.8-inch AMOLED LTPO display with 120Hz refresh rate, 5,000mAh battery, built-in S Pen stylus, quad-camera setup, the list goes on.

Right now, you can save $300 on the Samsung flagship at most big-box retailers, and I don’t expect the deal to get any better come Black Friday. 

  • Current price: $3,999
  • Original price: $6,499

For something that’s a little more splurge-worthy, check out Samsung’s massive 85-inch Neo QLED 8K TV. The smaller 65-inch and 75-inch variants are on discount, too, but it’s the largest option — with its $2,500 off sale — that’s most worth it, in my opinion. 

For the price, you’re getting one of the most color-rich and detailed TVs on the market, with Samsung’s Quantum Mini LEDs powering each individual pixel for the brightest whites and darkest blacks. You may also be wondering why you need an 8K TV when 99% of the YouTube and Netflix content you watch is in 1080p. Well, Samsung’s embedded a Neural Quantum Processor 8K that upscales high-definition videos and movies so that they appear as crisp and life-like as actual 8K resolution. 

  • Current price: $2,999
  • Original price: $3,499

The Samsung Odyssey Ark is a 55-inch monitor. That statement alone should be enough to divide a room in two. If you’re in the camp that’s questioning why this even exists, let me help.

The Odyssey Ark is a gamer’s paradise, a curved, high refresh rate panel that engulfs any user who sits (or stands) in front of it. As a result, you get what is arguably the most immersive viewing experience on any monitor — ever, and one that can even rotate 90 degrees. In doing so, the Odyssey Ark becomes a wave of four screens stacked on top of each other for the ultimate multitasking hub. it’s not cheap at $2,999, but that’s the cheapest price I’ve seen to date. 

  • Current price: $199
  • Original price: $229

A $30 discount doesn’t make the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro an impulse buy, but if you’re eyeing the best pair of wireless earbuds from the Galaxy maker, this is it. Personally, I’ve been carrying the Buds 2 Pro as my daily driver as I find the earbuds very comfortable to wear, rich in sound performance, and have an ANC that can block out the most obnoxious passersby. They also support a tap-based gesture control that’s much more favorable, in my opinion, than squeezing stems or swiping around.

  • Current Price: $999
  • Original Price: $1,499

Samsung’s The Frame TV saw a 2022 refresh back in April alongside the rest of the company’s QLED and OLED ensemble and has been living in my head rent-free since. The concept is still the same as it was years ago; the display blends in with your living room, kitchen, or bedroom walls with the help of wooden frames and Art Mode, which casts a visually texturized painting on the TV when left idle. In addition to its core function is a new matte-treated display that makes the optical illusion all the more realistic.

For a limited time, you can buy the latest version of the 55-inch The Frame at a $500 discount.
