Samsung offers an exciting array of Android smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, appliances and other wearable tech, such as the Galaxy Ring. Its devices are known for speedy and reliable performance, durable construction and design. However, Samsung gear is usually a bit costly. If you’ve been looking to upgrade or score some new tech, the company’s back-to-school discounts are a great way to save money on quality products. Samsung has improved its existing trade-in deals and increased student discounts so you can save a few more percentage points and rack up savings.
Note that not all Samsung devices qualify for these additional discounts, but we’ve listed the best savings below so you can take advantage of these offers.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
