As CES 2016 gets underway out in Las Vegas, we’re beginning to see a steady stream of product announcements this morning. One of the early darlings of the event is Samsung’s new Family Hub refrigerator that sports a notable 21.5-inch 1080p display. While full details have yet to be released here in the United States, we’ve got our hands on as much information that is available at this time. Head below for more.
Sprint is getting in the holiday spirit by offering one of the most unique cellular deals that we’ve seen. The mobile carrier is giving away a free 32-inch Samsung HDTV, worth roughly $200, when you open a new line of service or upgrade an existing account with an eligible Samsung Galaxy smartphone. This offer launches on December 18th and runs through the 24th. Customers can finance their new device through Sprint’s Lease or Easy Pay plans, as well as traditional two-year contracts or by paying in full. Complete terms and conditions below.
Qualified Samsung smartphones include Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Note5. Customers can get their new Samsung smartphone through Sprint Lease, Sprint Easy Pay, sign a two-year contract or pay full retail price.
Additionally, shoppers switching to Sprint can save up to 50% off qualifying Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile plans. Sprint will also pay up to $650 in fees associated with switching via an American Express gift card.
That’s the best offer we’ve seen involving Android Pay, even though Samsung offered a free $50 Best Buy gift card for using Samsung Pay two weeks ago. The offer ends December 31st. Terms and Conditions:
Amazon offers Prime members the Samsung Ultra-Slim Black Optical DVD Drive for $17.99 Prime shipped (matched at Newegg for all customers). That’s $8.50 off the original list price and the lowest we can find. This Mac/PC compatible drive is completely USB powered and still manages to write DVDs at 8X speeds.

Update (10/22 1:35pm): Walmart has the VIZIO M49-C1 49″ 4K Ultra HD 120Hz Full-Array LED Smart TV for $598 shipped right now (Reg. $720+, within $20 of all-time low)
Focus Camera via eBay Daily Deals has the Samsung 40-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2015 Model, UN40JU6500) for $549.99 shipped. That’s $280 under the original listing, $150 below Amazon and the best price we can find.
Along with its 4K resolution, this model has built-in Wi-Fi, 4 HDMI/3 USB inputs, and a 120CMR (effective) refresh rate. The UN40JU6500 has a 4.3/5 star rating from over 130 Amazon customers.
Next up, for those looking for an even bigger display, BuyDig via eBay Daily Deals has the Samsung 55-Inch Full HD 1080p 120Hz Slim Smart LED HDTV (2015 Model, UN55J6300) for $699 shipped. That’s about $400 under the original listing, $300 below Amazon’s current price and the best we can find.
This model also comes with Wi-Fi, a 120Hz refresh rate and the same I/O as the deal above, on top of the the much larger 55-inches of real estate. It has a 4.1/5 star rating from over 260 Amazon customers.
Smart connected devices for our homes are becoming more commonplace, with technology giants like Apple and Samsung leading the way with support for a myriad of devices. Even Amazon has an internet-connected speaker that will control your lights, thermostat and more.
One of the biggest issues with this technology is price. Many consumers are not willing to pay the premium that comes with support for Apple’s HomeKit or other platforms like Z-Wave or Zigbee. Simply put, the deadbolt has worked in its existing state for decades, why upgrade it now?
Kwikset has been leading the charge on smartphone connected locks with its Kevo Bluetooth-enabled product. But for roughly $200, the adoption rate has been slow. Today, the lock maker has released a new deadbolt that drops a number of features but retains its internet connectivity in exchange for a lower price point.
Samsung continues to take aim at SONOS as it further pushes into the whole home audio market. Today, the electronics manufacturer has revealed three new 360-degree multi-room speakers. The R1, R3 and R5 are smaller and lower priced models than the $500 R7 that Samsung first detailed back in April.
Significantly dropping the entry level price should spike interest amongst consumers that are looking for an alternative to other ecosystems currently on the market.
The expanding list of SmartThings compatible sensors, outlets, thermometers, bulbs and more for your house is getting a new controller hub to keep everything connected. Come September, the next gen Samsung SmartThings hub will come available with a few special features in tow:
From 9to5Mac:
If you’ve been waiting for someone to release a giant-sized SSD to replace your computer’s mechanical hard drive, great news: Samsung’s just announced an SSD with more storage capacity than any spinning platter hard disk. The PM1633a is a 15.36TB SSD that’s being marketed as the world’s highest-capacity hard drive. As Ars Technica notes, that incredible capacity — over 120 times the storage of an entry-level MacBook Air or MacBook Pro — fits within a compact 2.5″ hard drive enclosure.
By comparison, Samsung just began to sell 2.5-inch 2TB SSDs for $800 (consumer) to $1000 (professional) last month. Read more on the PM1633a below…

Update (7/14 12:15pm): BuyDig via eBay is sweeting this deal, offering Samsung’s 55-inch (UN55JU6500) 4K UHDTV with the included 2.1-channel soundbar and a $100 Visa gift card for $1,097.99 shipped.
Multiple retailers are currently running a promotion that includes a free Samsung Soundbar (HW-J550) with the purchase of select Samsung 4K Ultra HDTVs. If you’ve been looking to upgrade your home theater system or have been interested in 4K, this may be the deal for you. These are the newest 4K UHDTVs and soundbars from Samsung at some of the lowest effective prices that we have seen. Full terms and conditions below.
This offer is available at Amazon, Best Buy, BuyDig and B&H. Aside from the obvious benefits of 4K (higher resolution, future proofing), soundbars are an excellent way to improve the audio of your new television. As manufacturer’s have slimmed down HDTVs, it has come at the cost of sound. Often speakers are placed on the back of TVs to preserve the thin look, which means your audio is firing at the wall and not at you. If you’re going to make the commitment to a top-of-the-line HDTV, you’ll want a sound system that matches.
These new UHDTVs from Samsung have built-in Wi-Fi for smart functionality, 120Hz refresh rate, 4K upscaling and four HDMI inputs. The soundbar features 320 watts of power, a wireless subwoofer, HDMI input and is available in black or silver.
Update (6/16 9:00am): Lower prices available via Newegg when you enter coupon code AFEXSSD15614: 250GB $89.99, 500GB $179.99, 1TB $359.99
Samsung announced its T1 portable SSD lineup earlier this year at CES. Its tiny size and impressive specs caught our attention, but with retail prices upwards of $500 it wasn’t a practical choice for most people. Now the first significant price drops have put these drives within reach:
Amazon has two of the most popular (4.7/5 star rating from thousands of reviewers) microSD cards available at their best prices ever:
Prime members (free trial) receive free 2-day shipping on both memory cards. Otherwise, you’ll need to spend at least $35 to sidestep shipping costs. Alternatively, these deals are also available via Best Buy (Evo & Pro models) so you could buy from there and opt for free in-store pickup.
Both of these fast microSD cards are good candidates for your Android smartphone/tablet and digital camera. However, I’d stick with the Pro version if you’re planning to use it in a GoPro. You could also pick up one of these handy adapters to use either of these memory cards as semi-permanent storage for your MacBook Air or Pro.
This 2.5-inch SSD is a great way to get some new life out of your again machines with SATA 6Gb/s and speeds 540 MB/s up and 520 MB/s down. It ships with a 5 year warranty, is the best selling SSD on Amazon and has received a 4.7/5 star rating from over 2,075.
Amazon has the 512GB Samsung 850 Pro 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE512BW) for $239 shipped. That’s more than $150 under the original price tag, about $60 under the average selling price and the best we can find.
While as you can see by its ratings, the above 250GB option is more than capable of speeding up your older devices and offering significantly faster boot times, this 850 Pro is specifically designed for “professional animators, video editors, photographers and game developers” that need the extra kick. Samsung says it “enables you to boot up your computer in as little as 15 seconds”. The Pro also ships with double the warranty time at 10 full years and has received a 4.7/5 star rating from over 1,000 customers.
Fixstars recently announced what it is calling “the world’s largest 2.5” SATA SSD”. The Fixstars SSD-6000M packs in 6TB of storage, making it the largest capacity SSD in the standard 2.5″ x 9.5mm form factor, according to the company. With full support for SATA 6Gbps, the new drives bring sequential read speeds of up to…

Samsung’s smart audio brand, Level, is readying a pair of new Bluetooth devices for this summer. Following in the footsteps of the previously released and highly rated over-ear models, the upcoming Samsung Level On wireless headphones offer much of the same but in a smaller, on-ear form factor. The company’s new Bluetooth adapter will offer wireless audio streaming to your car, speaker system, traditional wired headphones and more.
You’ll find the announcement video and more details below:
Wireless whole home audio is moving away from being labeled a new and expanding category to something that is refining itself as a necessary need for audio enthusiasts. We’ve seen new releases from Bang & Olufsen this year, as well as updates to Aether’s speaker, while SONOS continues to reign supreme.
This week, Samsung announced a new entry into the whole home audio competition with its Radiant360 R7 Wireless Speaker that offers a number of familiar features plus some new ones.

You’ll need to do so using carrier installment plans: Verizon Edge, AT&T Next, or Sprint Easy Pay/Leasing — upgrades of any kind and of course, full-priced no-commitment smartphone purchases are not eligible for the gift card bonus.
AT&T and Verizon new line activations will yield a free $150 gift card, while Sprint will get you $200 (in-store only).
The promo covers a range of smartphones including iPhone 6/Plus (in-store pickup only), iPhone 5s/c, LG G2, HTC One M8, Nokia Lumia 1520, and several others.

Super Bowl XLIX will pit the Seattle Seahawks up against the New England Patriots. While ticket prices on the resale market aren’t as outrageous as you might imagine, they are still way beyond what a sane person would pay.
You can outfit your family room with a ridiculous HDTV for significantly less than the average ticket price for the big game. Not to mention the fact that you can invite all your friends over to watch with you and scoff down as much homemade buffalo chicken dip as you want.

Ultra High Definition TVs have been tumbling in cost throughout the past year. From top brands like VIZIO and LG to budget brands like Seiki, UHDTV prices are dropping across the board.
