No-Strings-Attached Amazon Deal Saves You Up to $100 on New Galaxy S23 Phones

With these discounts, you can get your hands on one of Samsung’s latest flagship phones for as little as $750 — no trade-in or service plan required.

The Galaxy S23 series is the latest and greatest in Samsung’s flagship lineup, and while there’s no shortage of deals out there, most will require a trade-in and lock you into a service plan. But if you’re looking for a simple, no-strings-attached discount, Amazon is offering some of the best deals out there at the moment. Right now, you can save $50 on the base model S23, $100 on the S23 Plus and $100 on the S23 Ultra, dropping the price down to $750, $900 and $1,100 respectively. There’s no set expiration, but deals on the latest phones rarely last for long, so we’d recommend getting your order in sooner rather than later if you don’t want to miss out on these savings.
