Samsung deals on smartphones:
If you need any smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and S24 Ultra are great, but we especially think the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be beneficial to students, if they can afford it. This is because the foldable device can double as a tablet. Additionally, it has S Pen support, so it could even become a great note-taking tool.
Samsung tablet deals:
Now, if all you need is a tablet, then you might be better off getting a dedicated Samsung Galaxy Tab. This will be cheaper than getting the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and you’ll also get more screen real estate. All of these are great, but we think most students would actually be just fine with the Tab S9 or the Tab S9 FE. The other tablets might be overkill unless you have a specific reason for the extra power.
Samsung laptop deals:
Samsung’s laptop student deals are both on high-end devices. While you are saving a whole $500, the cheapest option is still $1,400. That said, these are excellent computers if you’re studying something that requires running demanding tasks on your computer. Media production and editing come to mind. And if you get the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Ultra, you get a very nice portable SSD, which has a $175 value. That should help store all those clips, photos, and files.

Samsung deals on accessories:
It’s a bit hard to justify getting a Galaxy Watch 7 or Watch Ultra, as we can’t think of any situations in which a smartwatch will help with your studies. Not to mention, students are usually on a tight budget. That said, we do believe headphones are a good acquisition, and the Galaxy Buds 3 and 3 Pro are great options. You may want to listen to a recorded lecture or watch an online class without bothering others. Additionally, both of these have ANC, which will come in very handy when you’re in a loud place.
