Labor Day was established to honor American workers and the labor movements and unions that struggled to achieve humane working conditions and eight-hour workdays — rare as those are these days — but like all great American holidays without a trademark meal or fireworks, it’s mostly turned into a sale holiday. And hey, you’ve worked hard; you deserve something new and nice to help you get through the rest of the year, be it a fresh pair ofwireless noise-canceling earbudsor a new phone so you can stop scrambling for apowerful portable chargerhalfway through your shift.
It’s also the last major sale of the summer, and Labor Day deals are your last chance at scoring a good price on the tech you’ve been after beforeBlack Friday saleskick off in November. (Well, at least untilPrime Day Part 2in October, anyway.) While many of the deals surrounding Labor Day tend to focus on major appliances and home goods, recent years have seen the selection expand to include deals on Android tech. That means Labor Day deals on smartphones, Chromebooks, headphones, tablets, smartwatches, and much more.

Deals will be especially enticing when it comes tobudget Android phones, with some of these already cheap alternatives hitting new lows.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
A little over a month after its launch, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is $300 off for the first time without any trade-ins or carrier shenanigans. Both the 256GB and 256GB models are discounted, so you can go full data-hoarder if you need to, and you can use those savings towards a case, an S Pen, or both.
Samsung Galaxy S23+
The Goldilocks of the Galaxy S23 series is down to a price that’s juuuuuust right this Labor Day. $800 matches its lowest price ever and allows you to get that bigger screen and better battery for the same price as the “baby” S23, which is only $50 off while the S23+ and Ultra are $200 off.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
Samsung’s last generation Galaxy S22 is still a powerhouse of a phone, delivering great performance and features that are still hard to beat. Amazon is knocking $450 off the 256GB and 512GB models this Labor Day so that you can enjoy that garaged S Pen and super-sized screen without it costing a whole rent check.
OnePlus 11
The OnePlus 11 combines excellent specs, incredible battery life, and a competent camera system, and you may take either $100 off the base 8GB/128GB model or get the lowest price ever on the 16GB/256GB version at $650. And really, $50 to double your memory and storage is a steal.
Samsung Galaxy A54 5G
Google seems to have entirely missed the Labor Day deals memo, so the best phone deal under $500 this holiday is the Galaxy A54. Equipped with a bright 120Hz screen, 5,000mAh battery for day-and-a-half performance, and good (but sometimes inconsistent) cameras, the A54 is slated for four years of platform upgrades and five years of security patches.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 features a 3.4-inch external display, making it ideal for social media scrolling or text responses without opening the device. You can get $300 off if you’re willing to activate it at Best Buy, or you can take $200 off without getting a carrier involved at all at Amazon

Apple iPad Mini (6th Gen, 2021)
Apple’s compact 8.3-inch iPad mini might be on the smaller size when it comes to tablets, but it still packs a big punch. The A15 processor offers impressive performance, and of course, it features a beautiful 2266x1488 Retina display for crystal clear picture quality. At $100 off, it’s a worthy buy if you want an iPad without spending an arm and a leg to get one.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9
The just-launched Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 finally packs a proper AMOLED screen in place of the S8’s underwhelming LCD, features an upgraded processor, and delivers one of the most competitive Android tablets in the 11-inch range. It’s not technically a discount, but Samsung, Amazon, and Best Buy are all offering free storage upgrades from 128GB to 2556GB.

Acer Chromebook 315
As its name would have you believe, Acer’s Chromebook 315 is basically a slight upgrade over the Chromebook 314 discussed earlier in this list.

The Chromebook 315 is powered by Intel’s Pentium Silver N6000 CPU and 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, which combined make it well-suited to everyday computing tasks. It’s a great option for students at it’s discounted price of $220.

An already budget-friendly Chromebook that punches well above its weight class, the Duet 3 is an excellent option for students who need a good machine at an even better price.
