Start the new year off right with a brand new smartphone. If you didn't get one over the holidays, there are plenty of great options on offer, especially with the latest Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event on its way. You can save big right now on one of Samsung's best devices that, in fact won a Mashable Choice Award last year. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a fantastic foldable, and it's even better when you can save when buying it.

As of Jan. 3, you can get an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 for just $1,499.99 at Amazon. That's $300 off its normal price of $1,799.99 and a discount of 17%. All three colors are available at this price: cream, icy blue, and phantom black, so you can get the one that best fits your personality for the same deal.

This folding phone is one of the best you'll find, according to Mashable Tech Reporter Alex Perry. Perry praised its enhancements over the previous model, including a thinner form factor, flatter hinge, and newer processor, saying it all added up to "produce probably the best foldable on the market right now."

It boasts 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a 7.6-inch screen, 6.2-inch cover display, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor. Its 4,400 mAh battery means all-day use, and it's perfect for multitasking as it can allow for up to four open apps on the same screen at a time. Its 10MP selfie camera, 4MP under-display lens, and rear camera array (50MP wide lens, 12MP ultra-wide lens, and 10MP telephoto lens) are impressive. Plus, its gaming capabilities are no slouch, either.
