Save $330 on Samsung Galaxy S21 256GB in 1-day refurb sale

Woot is ending the work week today with the launch of its latest 1-day sale that’s discounting a selection of unlocked Samsung Android smartphones in certified refurbished condition. Shipping is free for Prime members and a $6 fee applies otherwise. Leading the way is the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G 256GB at $520. While you’d have originally paid $850, today’s offer is the best price yet for this capacity at $330 off. 

This may not be the new Galaxy S22 model that drops this Friday, but Samsung’s now previous-generation entry-level Galaxy S21 smartphone still packs a punch. There’s a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen that’s backed by an up to 120Hz refresh rate. Powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor, you’ll enjoy all-day battery life as well as elevated 256GB of storage and a triple-sensor camera array around back. In our hands-on review, we found that it made all of the right compromises. Includes a 90-day warranty.

Samsung’s Galaxy S22/Ultra Kickstand Covers see first discounts

Amazon now offers the official Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Standing Kickstand Cover starting at $25 in two styles. Normally $35, today’s offer is delivering the very first discount to date and a subsequent new all-time low at over 25% off. Sporting a rugged design for your Galaxy S22 Ultra, this case comes in either lavender or white colorways with a unique build that should offer some extra grip for hanging onto your handset. On top of just protecting the device, the form-factor packs an integrated kickstand for propping up your device in both vertical and horizontal orientations. 

Samsung Galaxy S22 owners on the other hand can also get in on the savings today, as Amazon is carrying the discounts over to the compatible Standing Kickstand Covers. Available in three different styles including lavender, navy, and white, these start from $26 and are also sitting at new Amazon all-time lows. Delivering the first discounts yet, the 25% in savings delivers all of the same features as noted above for the entry-level Galaxy S22 device.
