Take Hundreds Off Refurbished Samsung Smartphones With Prices as Low as $115
If you've shopped for a new smartphone lately, you've probably seen how steep the prices can be. But if you don't want to shell out the cash for the latest model, there are other options that can save you hundreds. Refurbished devices are much cheaper than buying something new.
Refurbished Samsung phones are available at Woot for as little as $115. These deals expire tonight and some models have already sold out, so we advise placing your order as soon as possible if you see a model you want.
There are a lot of different models available in this sale at a variety of prices. If you want an advanced model, you can snag the now-discontinued Galaxy Note 20, which comes equipped with a large 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 128GB of storage and a powerful 64 megapixel camera that can capture 8K video footage for $370. Or splurge for the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, with a 6.9-inch screen, for $575.
The 2021 base model S21 is also available starting at $390 for the 128GB version, though you can upgrade to the 256GB if you need more storage space. The 6.2-inch display is easy to hold compared to larger models if you want something more portable. But if you enjoy larger screens, the S21 Plus features a 6.7-inch screen and is available for $485. And for a 6.8-inch screen, the S21 Ultra, with 256GB of storage, is $625.
One of our favorite budget phones for this year is the Galaxy A53. While that one isn't part of this sale, you can get its predecessor, the Galaxy A52, for $210. The 2019 S10 Plus is also available starting at just $10 more. Both are solid options for the average user.
If you're looking to spend less and just need to replace your phone without insisting on the latest specs, check out the Galaxy A71. The unlocked version is available for $185. And for basic texting and calling, you can grab the S8 Plus for $115, though it is much older (meaning it may no longer receive security updates) and has very limited storage.
There are a lot of other Samsung phones available, so be sure and shop the entire sale selection to find the right fit for you. Keep in mind that each phone has been rated S&D, or scratch and dent, which indicates that while all phones have undergone testing and are in full working condition, they do show moderate wear and tear and have some cosmetic blemishes. But if dings and scrapes don't bother you, this is an excellent opportunity to upgrade your phone on a tight budget. Your purchase is also backed by a 90-day Woot limited warranty, just in case.

Samsung hasn't officially said the Galaxy Note is gone for good, but it doesn't have to. Just take one look at the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung's new premium phone, and you can see it's the spitting image of the Note.
The Galaxy S Ultra line has been inching towards Galaxy Note status for years. It was particularly clear in 2021 when it added S Pen compatibility. But the newest model, which Samsung announced at Unpacked on Wednesday, seems like the final push in that direction.
And it's about time.
Both phones serve the same purpose in Samsung's lineup by catering to customers willing to pay top dollar for a bigger screen and more camera features. Simply put, there's no room for the Galaxy Note to stand out now that the Ultra exists.
The Galaxy Note helped popularize larger phones back when the industry was fixated on making gadgets as small as possible. But that's no longer the case, and the S Pen alone clearly isn't enough to keep the Galaxy Note relevant.
There's no place for the Galaxy Note anymore

Lexy Savvides/CNETDon't get me wrong, I was a longtime Galaxy Note fan. The device's nearly tablet-sized screen and the old-fashioned feeling of jotting down notes by hand intrigued me.
But the Galaxy Note's heyday came at a time when phones were still growing -- literally. Smartphone sales outsold feature phones for the first time in 2013, according to Gartner, roughly two years after the original Galaxy Note's 2011 debut. The smartphone market was relatively young back then, so features like a larger screen and a stylus were considered novel at the time.
Most phones that were popular in the Galaxy Note line's early days, like the Samsung Galaxy S3, Apple iPhone 5 and Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, had screens that were smaller than 5 inches. The 5.3-inch Galaxy Note seemed gigantic by comparison, but also distinctive.
Yet in 2022, the characteristics that once made the Note feel fresh no longer seem innovative. Just about every phone has a giant screen that's about 6 inches or larger, including devices from Apple, Google, Motorola or OnePlus. In other words, big phones are now the norm rather than the exception. Even budget phones, like Samsung's $250 Galaxy A13, often include 6-inch screens or bigger now.

The Galaxy Note undoubtedly played a big role in that shift. But that's exactly the point; the shift already happened, and the Galaxy Note no longer feels as special as it once did. Evidence of this can be seen in the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Samsung's most recent high-end Note that debuted in 2020.
Other than the S Pen, there was little that distinguished the Note 20 Ultra from the Galaxy S20 Ultra, which launched in the same year. Both phones had spacious 6.9-inch screens and multilens cameras. The differences were nuanced and came to certain hardware details.
The S20 Ultra, for example, had a sharper 48-megapixel telephoto lens compared to the Note 20 Ultra's 12-megapixel telephoto lens. It also had additional memory options and a bigger battery, but was $100 more expensive than the Note 20 Ultra at launch.

Samsung's attempt to maintain two different premium phone brands created confusion for people who just wanted to buy Samsung's top-of-the-line phone. In 2019, it was the Note 10 Plus. In 2020, it was either the S20 Ultra or the Note 20 Ultra. Eliminating the Note brand from Samsung's lineup simplifies that structure. It also means people who prefer giant phones no longer have to decide between a stylus or a better camera, as they did in 2020.
Samsung's foldables are now filling that role
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 has nearly all the refinements you could ask for but still feel like it's missing a purpose.
Patrick Holland/CNETThe Galaxy Note started out as a niche device for people who wanted more screen space and power than the average phone allowed for. Its large size and high price meant it wasn't for everyone. But it still served as an early indication of where the industry was going.
In the best-case scenario for Samsung, the same could be said for the company's foldable phones. Like the Galaxy Note, Samsung's foldables are more expensive than the standard phone. And the appeal of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is in the extra screen space it offers, just like the Galaxy Note. Samsung seems to be hoping that the Z Fold 3 and flip phone-style Z Flip 3 will set the pace for where smartphones are headed, just as the Note once did.
Who knows whether today's foldables will lay the foundation for future phones. But the Note certainly did, and its influence has shaped Samsung's most important launch of the year.
