If you have been shopping for a 3D TV and an Android tablet this is the weekend for you to finally pull the trigger. Samsung and Best Buy are teaming up to give away a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the purchase of certain 3D TV. The deal is only for two different TVs, one a 46” LED, and another is for a mystery 55” TV with 3D starter kit. The cheapest package will cost you $1499.99.

Unfortunately Best Buy does not tell us which two models of TVs are part of the promotion, so we can’t give too much information about the selected models. Having searched the Best Buy website we found a pretty wide range of prices for TVs that matched the vague descriptions provided so we are not able to say for sure which TVs are part of the deal.

We do know about the Samsung tablet involved, and it is one of the most sought after Android tablet on the market. In our review we really enjoyed the tablet, and think it is the Android tablet best suited to rival the iPad 2.

This promotion makes sense considering that the general population still isn’t on board with 3D technology. They cost more than 2D TVs, and require you to buy special hardware to view 3D content. Only time will tell if TV makers will keep trying to sell these TVs or if they will take a break and wait until a glasses free option is available in large screen sizes.

Something to keep in mind if you are TV shopping, all 3D TVs work perfectly fine in 2D mode, so if you are shopping for a TV you can always buy one of the two from the promotion just to get a free tablet.

A person holding the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

It's hard not to lust after the biggest and most powerful smartphone on the market, and at the moment, that's the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung's new flagship is here, and it's simply one of the best smartphones you can buy today. The Galaxy S24 Ultra isn't just another smartphone; it's extremely powerful and has some of the most advanced AI features we've ever seen on a phone, along with an excellent camera and battery life. Simply put, it's great.

But you know what? You don't have to buy it. As good as it is, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is only one of a number of smartphones you can buy, and many of them are as good as the S24 Ultra — and may even exceed it in a few key ways.

Samsung Galaxy S24 vs. OnePlus 12: Which one should you buy?

Renders of the Samsung Galaxy S24 next to the OnePlus 12.

The size increase may not be everyone's cup of tea, but the Samsung Galaxy S24 is a crushing success anyway. Samsung's new smaller flagship has a powerful new processor, an upgraded display, and Samsung's cutting-edge Galaxy AI. If you're looking for a powerful phone at a price less than four figures, then the Samsung Galaxy S24's $800 price tag is sure to appeal.

But OnePlus is ready with a strong competitor of its own. The OnePlus 12 is a larger phone with the same power, a capable camera suite, and some blindingly fast charging speeds. At the same price, you've got a tough job deciding between the two of them, and looking at long lists of specs can quickly make you feel dizzy. That's why we're here; we've crunched the numbers, placed them side-by-side, and broken down what it means so you don't have to. Here's how the Samsung Galaxy S24 compares to the OnePlus 12 — and which one you should buy.

Get this Samsung tablet for $120 in Best Buy’s latest sale

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 on

Some tablets are powerful enough to handle tough tasks such as multimedia editing and multitasking between several apps, but if you just need a basic device, then you should consider Best Buy's offer for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. From an already affordable original price of $160 for its 32GB model, it's down even further to just $120. The $40 discount is part of the retailer's three-day sale that runs through the weekend, but it's highly recommended that you make the purchase immediately as there's no assurance that stocks will still be available by tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite
Let's get this out of the way -- the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite isn't going to match the performance of the best tablets, as it's only equipped with the MediaTek MT8768T processor and 3GB of RAM. However, for its price, you can get amazing value from the device if you manage your expectations. While it's not going to blow you away in terms of speed, it's perfectly capable for simple functions such as browsing the internet, checking social media, and watching streaming shows on its 8.7-inch touchscreen with 1340 x 800 resolution. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is also pretty durable with its metal frame, and it can run for up to 11 hours on a single charge.
