OnePlus 12 — $750 $900 17% off

Here, you can get the OnePlus 12 in its superior 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage version. If you toss in your old phone you can save $100 more, too, via a trade-in offer. Our OnePlus 12 review dubbed it the “phone to beat” around this time last year for its powerful performance, strong battery life, and excellent Hasselblad camera system.

OnePlus Nord N30 5G — $230 $300 23% off + free gift

The Nord N30 5G is Nord’s take on a budget phone, but as you can see from our OnePlus N30 5G review, it doesn’t really have “budget phone quality” and instead can power through games and display in a buttery 120Hz. This deal comes with either a free case ($16 value) or wired earphones ($14) that can plug in via a jack, which the phone has, or USB-C (which it also has).

OnePlus Watch 2 — $250 $300 17% off

Our OnePlus Watch 2 review calls it a smartwatch with an “excellent battery life and a lovely design.” The gorgeous design is noticeable from the picture, but the battery life — which can be extended to around 12 days — is a more interesting story. You can turn it “down” to a power savings mode, which gives the basics but turns off things like the always-on display, apps, and Google Assistant.

OnePlus Watch 2R — $200 $230 13% off

The OnePlus Watch 2R is listed as one of the best smartwatches around, specifically as an excellent budget smartwatch for Android users. And, of course, now marked down to just $200, the budget factor is emphasized even more. Our OnePlus Watch 2R review touts its durable design, great battery life, and easily replaceable watch bands.

OnePlus Pad 2 — $450 $550 18% off + free gift

When we put out our OnePlus Pad 2 review late last year, we immediately considered it the best Android tablet of the year. Nice features include reliable splitscreen, a gorgeous 144Hz screen, and a rare six-speaker setup. Right now you can get a free gift with your purchase, too — a OnePlus Stylo 2 stylus ($100 value) or a folio case for the tablet ($40 value).

OnePlus Buds Pro 3 — $140 $180 22% off

In many ways, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are OnePlus’s answer to the AirPods, but for Android. You see the stem shape and you know what’s up. These buds have noise cancellation, a 43 hour battery life if you include what the case stores, spatial audio, and ANC, among other common buds features. One fun quirk to these, however, is built-in real time AI language translation when you use them paired with newer OnePlus phones.

How to get two OnePlus smartphones for the price of one!

Shopping for new smartphones can be a real chore, and Android devotees have it harder than those of us in the iOS camp when it comes to choosing a new device. Multiple brands use Android for phones, but in our experience, one manufacturer that tends to rise above the herd is OnePlus. And right now, the company is offering one heck of a deal:

For a limited time, when you purchase either the 256GB or 512GB version of the OnePlus 12, you’ll get the OnePlus Nord N30 5G (8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage) for absolutely free! That’s a $300 value, friends.

Samsung has the best S25 Plus preorder deal
Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus in Mint.

As the world waits for the official release of Samsung's next generation of flagship smartphones, it's no surprise that the best phone deals for Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus preorders are from Samsung itself. Originally priced at $1,000 for the 256GB model and at $1,120 for the 512GB model, you can get up to $700 off if you trade in an eligible device. Buying the 256GB model also comes with $100 of Samsung Credit, while the 512GB model is currently $100 off. That means you'll technically pay as low as $200 for the 256GB version and $320 for the 512GB version. Those prices are extremely hard to beat.

Why you should preorder the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, which was announced at Samsung Unpacked 2025 and is slated to launch on February 7, is the middle option in the brand's new lineup of smartphones between the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The differences between the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus versus Samsung Galaxy S25 are more than just their sizes -- the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus has a 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with 1440 x 3120 resolution and 513 ppi, while the Samsung Galaxy S25 has a 6.2-inch FHD+ AMOLED display at 1080 x 2340 pixel resolution and 416 pixels per inch. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus also has base storage of 256GB, double that of 128GB for the Samsung Galaxy S25, with the former also sporting a 4,900 mAh battery with up to 45W charging speed compared to the latter's 4,000 mAh battery with up to 25W charging speed.
