This past Friday we released our updated guide to the best phones of today. Most of the top contenders come from brands you see almost daily at this point, with phones like the Apple iPhone 16 and Google Pixel Pro 9 sitting near the top of the list. Samsung and OnePlus also make the list, though aren’t quite as prolific. But when it comes to the great flip phones and great folding phones that are actually affordable? Motorola’s Razr is zooming to the forefront.

Right now, you can get the Motorola Razr 2024, which we dubbed the “best cheap folding phone,” for just $550 instead of the usual $700 the 256GB unlocked version costs. It’s incredibly affordable compared to the competition and an overall delightful phone to use. Tap one of the buttons below to see the Motorola Razr 2024 in a store of your choice while it is $150 off or keep reading to see why we like it so much.

Why you should buy the Motorola Razr 2024

The folding phones of today are way different than the ones we grew up with. In addition to having great phones, they have greater price tags than “flat” phones. However, we’ve found that the Motorola Razr 2024 flips the script in a delightful manner. It’s crease isn’t super noticeable, it has fun always-on cover screen displays, and fun colors to boot. Our Motorola Razr 2024 review also points out the phone’s great battery life (a day and some change) and states that the phone is “easily your best option” if you’re looking for a deal on a flipping/folding phone (and that’s at it’s normal $700 cost).

We’ve also compared the Motorola Razr 2024 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 cameras. Why? Partially because we could, but also because the Samsung phone is essentially double the price of the Motorola. You’ll need to check out the comparison first hand to see the results and judge the results for yourself, but the spoiler is that the Motorola does comparably well to the Samsung in all categories of photo but night mode. In fact, in some instances, the humble budget Motorola Razr 2024 actually beats that 4-digit-priced Samsung. Don’t let the low price instantly make you think it’s a cheap phone.

If you want to take advantage of this deal on an unlocked 256GB Motorola Razr 2024, getting it for $550 instead of $700, just tap one of the buttons below to save your $150. Alternatively, check out more folding phone deals to see more of what’s out there.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ is extra affordable today (if you know where to look)

If you're looking for a top-tier tablet, complete with a stylus pen, then you know you might have to pay big. But that's not really the case if you're getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ and S-Pen with this deal. Usually the 256GB Wi-Fi-enabled machine would cost $1,000, but you can get yours today for just $700. That's a savings of $300 if you act now. Tap the button below to get one of the best tablets at a much more affordable price than usual, or keep reading to see why this tablet might be worthy of your tech repertoire.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ has a large 12.4 inch screen, a QHD (2800 x 1752 pixel) resolution for crispy handheld viewing, and 12GB of RAM that make it more powerful at multitasking than many of the best budget laptops. This version comes with 256GB of on board memory too, which Best Buy classifies as "Medium," but if you browse around enough you'll see enough 64GB and 128GB devices to know that it's closer to "Medium-High" for a tablet (if Best Buy had such a category).

Error?! Why the Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 8 Pro kids tablets are on sale for the same price today
Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition

If used properly, a tablet can be a portal to education or entertainment for your child, just like the Gameboy COLOR was for you back in the day. But, nonetheless, picking out a tablet for your kids isn't easy. And right now a quirky deal that makes both the Amazon Fire HD 8 and Amazon Fire HD 8 Pro just $85 makes the decision even more confusing, right? Not necessarily.

Both of these tablets, which originally cost $140 each, are discounted by $55 today, and its pretty clear which one is best for your child. If you have a younger child, the regular version makes more sense and if you have an older child the "Pro" version makes more sense. The naming convention is awful, but that's how it is. Tap the buttons below to see the tablets yourself and keep reading to see how to shop these deals.

One of Digital Trends favorite folding phones is (at least) $300 off today

Folding phones are on their way back, which you already know if you follow the scene closely. However, even those loosely adjacent to phones might start picking up foldables again if the rumored Apple foldable iPad and iPhone hit the shelves eventually. The problem, though, is that they won't be here for another year or two.

There's a silver lining, though, and that is that you can get our second favorite folding phone at a discounted price today. Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6s at the 512GB level are down to $1,720 from the usual $2,020. And that's before you apply the up to $1,000 in trade-in credit you can get if you trade in your current phone. All together, this is a great way to get a folding phone now and have at least a couple of years of fun with it before Apple's phones arrive. Tap the button below to check out the phone and deal, then keep reading to see our experiences with the phone, why it ranks number two on our list, and if this deal can take it to the top spot.
