Key points:
- Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 series is no longer available on their US e-shop after a massive sale.
- The Galaxy Watch 6 is currently on a Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) deal!
- Samsung recently made waves with two exciting developments in the tech world. First, the Galaxy Tab S8 series seems to have bid farewell to Samsung’s US online store. This follows an incredible sale that saw prices slashed by hundreds of dollars. The Tab S8 Ultra, for instance, was available for a staggering $650 after a $450 discount!
Many believe this sale was a strategic move to clear out stock for the upcoming generation of tablets. Their hunch seems to be correct, as the Tab S8 is now absent from Samsung’s US e-shop. While traces of the series remain, attempting to purchase any of the three Tab S8 models leads to a message stating the device’s unavailability and suggesting alternative Galaxy family options. This suggests the Tab S8’s quiet retirement in the US market.
There’s still a chance to snag a Tab S8 in the US through third-party retailers. However, Samsung seems unlikely to restock its online store. We’ll keep you updated on any changes.
For those seeking a new tablet, the Galaxy Tab S9 remains available, although at a significantly higher price point compared to the recent Tab S8 sale. Additionally, Samsung is gearing up to release the Tab S10 series, possibly by the end of this year or early next year.
If you’re in a market besides the US, you might still find the Tab S8 available at local e-shops. Act fast if you see a fantastic deal, as Samsung is expected to remove the Tab S8 from their online stores globally soon. As far as software support goes, the Tab S8 series should receive two more major updates after the current One UI 6.1.
Galaxy Watch 6 Goes BOGO!
While the Tab S8 exits stage left, the Galaxy Watch 6 is having a moment! To drum up excitement before the Galaxy Watch 7’s unveiling, Samsung launched a fantastic BOGO deal on their current Galaxy Watch 6 lineup.
Here’s the exciting part: you can buy any Galaxy Watch 6 model and get a second Watch 6 variant of your choice for free, as long as you skip the trade-in program. This means you could snag the most affordable 40mm Galaxy Watch 6 Wi-Fi for $299 and walk away with a free 47mm Galaxy Watch 6 Classic LTE, valued at $479!
This deal might seem too good to be true, especially considering rumors suggest the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 series will ditch the Classic model entirely. The Classic line will be replaced by the Galaxy Watch Ultra, boasting a unique square form factor with a round display and physical bezel.
So, will the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic become obsolete overnight? Not necessarily! It’ll remain the premier round smartwatch with a physical bezel even after the next Unpacked event. This BOGO deal makes perfect sense, even with the Watch 7 looming on the horizon. Don’t miss this chance to grab two Galaxy Watches for the price of one!
