Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Plus is back on sale for under $1,000 on Amazon

If you’re in the market for a new smartphone and prefer Android over Apple, look no further; you can purchase Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Plus for $950 again today on Amazon; $50 less than its smaller-screen sibling, the S20 5G.

The Galaxy S20 Plus 5G usually retails for $1,200 and includes a 120Hz screen refresh rate plus 5G network support. My colleague Dieter Bohn pointed out in his dual review that despite 5G not justifying part of the phone’s retail price, he praised the phone’s large screen, while also pointing out his favorite feature was the screens on both devices.

Last month, Sony’s popular noise-canceling true wireless earbuds, the WF-1000XM3, were under $200, and they are back on sale for the same price at Amazon in addition to Best Buy. While not at the lowest price we have seen them, a $178 price tag is a steal for these earbuds, which include not only a lengthy six-hour battery life but also noise cancellation.

Of course, earbuds are not for everyone. If the WF-1000XM3 are too small for your fancy, the Beats Solo Pro wireless noise-canceling on-ear headphones are also on sale at Amazon today for only $230. In his review, my colleague Chris Welch praised the headphones for having better resistance to sweat intake, making these a good pair of headphones to wear while going on jogs or hitting the gym.
