The only thing we love more than a sale is an exclusive sale, so hearing that PureWow readers can exclusively snag impressive deals during the Samsung early Black Friday was like music to our ears. Especially once we saw tons of the brand's latest phones marked down. The sale ends on November 17, which means you have plenty of time to decide which model to upgrade to.

To make things easier, we rounded up phones that are worth the splurge, according to buyers on Samsung. From the Galaxy S22 Ultra (featuring an embedded S pen, which lets you take notes, sketch, edit and more) to the Galaxy Z Flip4 (with a foldable and compact design), these five deals are way too good to pass up, whether you're shopping for yourself or for a holiday gift to give a loved one.

Whoa: Target Just Launched a Ton of Early Black Friday Deals—Here Are 13 Items to Shop Now


The Galaxy S22 Ultra is one of Samsung's newest phones, and thousands of buyers have been lining up to get one. So the fact that you can score $150 off (and up to $700 with an eligible trade-in) during this early sale is too good to pass up. The sleek, thin and lightweight number charges fast and has an impressively long battery life. It also features a first-ever embedded S pen to write, sketch and edit on the go. In one customer's opinion, "Every part of this phone is a significant upgrade. I thought not having expandable storage would be a problem. Nope. Not in the slightest. This phone is a beast."

Buyers are also fans of this new model, which has a vision booster (that blocks out the sun for optimal viewing) and so-called Nightography to capture quality photos when it's dark with three lenses. "[The] camera is amazing on this phone, and I've never taken clearer pictures," one reviewer on Samsung raves. "I also love the quality of this phone; it's so sturdy and well-balanced with its weight." Not to mention, it's supposed to hold a charge for more than 24 hours, keeping up with you as you go from texting to calling and surfing the web. Even better, you can snag up to $600 off with an enhanced trade-in.

This model is smaller than the Galaxy S22+, with a 6.1-inch screen (vs. 6.6-inches). Other than that, it has most of the same features, like long battery life and an ultra-wide camera, which reviewers can't stop talking about. "I heard this phone took really good pictures, which is why I bought it," one buyer on Samsung shares. "Needless to say, I was not disappointed! The quality is beyond what I thought it would be." You can also trade in your old phone to save up to $500.

We tested the Galaxy Z Flip phone, and while we found there was a bit of a learning curve, the lightweight—183 grams—and compact design, which can fold up and down (similar to a flip phone) made it worth every penny. "The foldable design helps with multitasking because it gives you the option to use the top and bottom half of the phone as two separate screens," PureWow beauty director  Jenny Jin explains. "I found this feature to be especially handy when I want to, say, read the news (or a story about the best gel nail polishes) on the top of the screen, while doing a quick scroll of Twitter on the bottom. Or watch a YouTube video, while texting a friend back without having to toggle between apps."

Want an even bigger screen? Go with this model, which folds together to make it more compact or opens for an immersive viewing experience similar to what you'd get with a tablet, thanks to its 7.6-inch display. Take it from this happy reviewer: "The fact that I can use my outside, albeit much smaller, screen daily and just open and use the tablet part is mind-blowing to me. I love the versatility."
