While it’s been legitimately raining (snowing?) sweet deals on the Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S9, and S9+ these past few weeks, most of the big discounts offered by Samsung or third-party retailers like Best Buy have required upfront activation on a certain carrier, as well as device payment plans.
Those looking to purchase an unlocked variant of any of the three aforementioned high-end smartphones should now rejoice, as Samsung’s top deal of today includes a special freebie for them.
All you need to do to score a complimentary pair of Gear IconX earbuds over the next few hours only is add the unlocked Galaxy Note 9, S9, or S9+ to your samsung.com/us cart, with that nice gift then automatically added as well before checkout.
Unfortunately, the actual phones on sale today are not discounted themselves, starting at a whopping $999.99 (Note 9), $839.99 (S9+), and $719.99 (“regular” S9). But the Gear IconX are more than just solid AirPods-rivaling wireless earbuds, keeping track of your every move and helping you monitor your fitness via a dedicated Samsung Health app.
You can choose from three 2018 models to go with your Galaxy S9, S9+, or Note 9 purchase, with black, gray, and pink colors normally fetching the same $179.99. Probably the best thing about this one-day-only pre-Christmas deal is that you’re free to combine it with a separate promotion scheduled to end on December 9.
As such, you can get a free Gear IconX and a free 512GB MicroSDXC EVO Plus memory card... with a 512GB unlocked Galaxy Note 9. That’s a $1,250 purchase, mind you, but also a combined value of around $480 in freebies.
Meanwhile, last year’s DeX Station is up for grabs at $89.99 (down from a $149.99 list price), and the Gear Sport and Gear S3 smartwatches are still 50 bucks cheaper than usual. View Full Bio
