Best Buy's Memorial Day sale is filled with editor-favorite gadgets, grills and more
If you're searching for the best electronics and gadgets on sale for Memorial Day, you've come to the right place. Best Buy has launched its annual long weekend sale, and I'm ready to put my near-decades worth of deals-hunting experience to work finding all of the retailer's best deals.
This year's best early Memorial Day deals include CNN Underscored's top-tested TV brands, patio gadgets like grills and pizza ovens, gaming PCs and Samsung appliances. Below, you'll find the 21 best ways to save through May 26.
Sony 65-Inch Bravia 8 OLED 4K Smart Google TV
Sony makes some of the best OLED TVs in the game with its Bravia lineup. I've been eyeing this exact television for a few months now, and at $800 off, it might just be time for me to pull the trigger and add this to my home theater while it's at the best price of 2025.
Samsung 55-Inch The Frame TV
It's rare to find a product that is loved by CNN Underscored editors and our readers this much. But that's exactly what you get with Samsung's The Frame TV. It won us over year after year with a design closer to a picture frame than your typical TV. Save $500, scoring one of the best discounts to date.Read our review
LG 65-Inch Class C4 Series OLED Evo TV
If the Sony Bravia was too pricey for you, the LG OLED is the next best thing. The previous generation C4 series is at the best prices of the year, with this 65-inch version at $300 off. That means you can enjoy its impressive 1,500-nit screen without paying full price.Read our review
Samsung B-series 3.1-Channel DTS Virtual:X Soundbar
If you already have a television you love, it's time to improve your home theater's sound. This affordable soundbar includes a wireless subwoofer for added bass to help round out movie nights with the kind of booming sound you'd find at the actual theater.
Samsung 77-Inch S84D 4K OLED TV
If your television isn't cutting it for viewing baseball games, upgrade to this massive 77-inch OLED TV, going big for the rest of the year. It's $200 below the previous discount I tracked over Presidents Day, marking its best price of the year.
LG 65-Inch UT70 4K Smart webOS TV
This 65-inch TV won't break the bank. It has a 4K panel and built-in streaming support with LG's webOS tech. At the best price I've tracked, take $250 off ahead of Memorial Day weekend.
Lenovo Legion Go Gaming Handheld
This gaming handheld combines the flexibility of a PC with the convenience of a Nintendo Switch. We found it a worthy competitor to the Steam Deck, and today's $100 discount makes it an even better value. Read our review
Sonos Move 2 Portable Durable Smart Speaker
I was excited to see the Sonos Move 2 go on sale this week but even more so now that the olive color I own is joining in on the savings. It's not available at other retailers, but Best Buy is offering a new all-time low price on this color. This is the best portable smart speaker I've used.
HP 14-Inch Chromebook
If you're searching for an affordable way to browse the web and check emails, this Chromebook is it. It's down to a record-low price at Best Buy with $210 in savings. That's over 60% off.
GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini
Capture all your upcoming hikes or outdoor adventures with this GoPro action camera. The Hero 11 Mini is smaller than its standard camera but still features the same rugged, go-anywhere design. It's also far more affordable at $120 off the usual price.
Marshall Woburn II Bluetooth Speaker
I listen to music every day on this speaker's newer version, the Woburn III. This earlier iteration packs all the same retro designs and booming sound but with a far more affordable price tag due to today's $200 all-time low discount.
Asus 16-Inch ROG Zephyrus G16
If your portable gaming needs aren't met by something like the Lenovo Legion Go on sale above, this Asus laptop has entered the chat with a $500 discount. It's matching the last low price, tracked during Presidents Day weekend. It offers better performance with an Nividia RTX 4060 graphics card.
Segway Max G30P Electric Kick Scooter
Take a whopping $450 off this electric kick scooter from Segway. The brand is one of the most trusted in the micro mobility space, which makes today's offer even better. This scooter is great for cruising around the neighborhood this summer or taking quick trips to the store.
Sony Ult Wear Headphones
A $50 deal landed on this pair of CNN Underscored-approved Ult Wear headphones that launched last spring. These are some of my favorite headphones, especially when you factor in the sale price. I particularly enjoy the booming bass and respectable ANC features. Today's offer is $1 below our previous mention. Read our review
Logitech Pro X Superlight Wireless Gaming Mouse
This is still the best gaming mouse money can buy. I purchased mine in 2021, and it has been handling gaming sessions like a pro ever since. I recommend it years later, especially when a 33% discount lands.
Traeger Grills Pro 22 Pellet Grill and Smoker
When we tested the best grills, Traeger stood above the rest in the pellet grill category. This discounted model has the same reputation as our best-tested pick but with a smaller design perfect for compact patio setups. It's also matching its lowest price.
Samsung Stackable Smart Front-Load Washer
There's more to like about this front-load washer than its sleek stainless steel finish. It also features Samsung's Super Speed Wash tech and smart features to streamline laundry day.
Ooni Koda 16 Gas-Powered Outdoor Pizza Oven
This outdoor pizza oven is seeing a rare discount for Memorial Day weekend. It's the first notable chance to save in 2025 with $120 in savings attached.
Samsung 27-Cubic-Foot 3-Door French Door Smart Refrigerator
Our experts previously walked away impressed by the higher-end version of this Samsung Bespoke refrigerator. This one shares many of the same features but mostly nixes some fancier additions to offer the same cooling for less. Throw in this $500 discount, and it's an even better way to renovate your kitchen.
Traeger Grills Pro 34 Pellet Grill and Smoker
If you need more grilling and smoking space than the Traeger above, this discounted model offers a larger cooking area and even more savings. It's a bit pricier, but it is at least resting at a new low price this year for the holiday weekend.
Bella 4.2-Quart Pro Touchscreen Air Fryer
Take half off this affordable air fryer at its best price of the year. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles as our top-tested model, but it'll certainly get the job done if you want to upgrade the kitchen for less. CNN Underscored's deals experts are always shopping for the best discounts online. Outside of holiday weekends, we cover weekly guides to the steepest price cuts from specific retailers. These early Memorial Day deals are worth a closer look now, considering many items are down to their lowest prices of the year, even beating previous discounts I've covered.
I'm constantly tracking price cuts across multiple online storefronts to ensure the deals are as good as the retailers say. The rest of the deals team and I dive into each product's price history while cross-referencing reviews and guides from other CNN Underscored editors to determine if it's worth your cash.
Quite simply, our goal here at Underscored is to save you money. Our senior deals editor Rikka Altland has been doing just that for nearly a decade, and that kind of experience extends to the rest of our deals team. Being an advocate for buyers to make sure we're only recommending the best prices on the best products is what we're all about, and that focus comes across in our work.

Samsung reveals Exynos 2500, the chip behind its leaked Flip 7 shakeup
TL;DR Samsung has announced its new Exynos 2500 chipset with powerful AI abilities and GPU upgrades. Built on a 3nm process, it supports high-end features like ray tracing and satellite connectivity. Leaked reports suggest this SoC will power all Galaxy Z Flip 7 devices worldwide, marking a break from tradition. In the run-up to the eventual launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung has officially unveiled the Exynos 2500 SoC that is largely rumored to power the upcoming flip phone in all markets, including the US. The Exynos 2500 is built on a 3nm GAA process node and features a 1+(2+5)+2 CPU setup comprising one Cortex-X5 (which ARM renamed as the Cortex-X925) clocked at 3.3GHz, two Cortex-A725 at 2.74GHz, five Cortex-A725 at 2.36GHz, and two Cortex-A520 at 1.8GHz. The new SoC uses the Samsung Xclipse 950 GPU, which supports a display of up to 4K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate and hardware-accelerated ray tracing for games. It also supports LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. The ISP on the Exynos 2500 supports up to 320MP camera sensors and up to 8K 30fps video recording. The Exynos 2500 also comes with the Exynos 5400 modem, which supports 3GPP Rel. 17, enabling mmWave 5G support and peak download speeds of up to 12.1 Gbps. It also supports satellite connectivity, Bluetooth 5.4, and Wi-Fi 7. Samsung is also keen to highlight the NPU on the Exynos 2500, which it claims can run up to 59 trillion operations per second. This allows the Exynos 2500 to claim 39% better on-device AI performance than its predecessor, the Exynos 2400 (though we couldn't locate the TOPS figure for the Exynos 2400). Samsung doesn't mention which device will feature this SoC or when it will launch. However, we've been hearing about the Exynos 2500 coming first to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 for quite some time. Even now, leaker Universe Ice on X reiterated that the Exynos 2500 will be used in all Galaxy Z Flip 7 versions worldwide. If the leak pans out, this would mark the first time the company has deviated from using the same Snapdragon SoC on its flip and fold flagships, as Samsung is expected to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. We'll find out how it unfolds in the coming weeks. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ . You can stay anonymous or get credit for the info, it's your choice.

Samsung may never charge you for using Galaxy AI on your phone
Ever since the launch of the Galaxy S24 series in 2024, Samsung has bet big on Galaxy AI. With each flagship release, the company has introduced a number of new AI features, including some of our favorites. However, Samsung has consistently stated that Galaxy AI features would remain free only for a limited time. For the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung announced that Galaxy AI would be free until the end of 2025. Many assumed this would change with the Galaxy S25, but the same end-of-2025 window still applies. Samsung hasn't clarified what will happen after that — whether it will start charging for AI features or what the pricing might be. But now, it seems the company might just keep these features free indefinitely. Reputed Samsung leaker PandaFlash Pro on X revealed that Samsung may offer all of its in-house Galaxy AI features for free permanently. This excludes Gemini-powered features, which are under Google's control. But core Galaxy AI tools like Live Translator, Generative Edits, and Writing Tools will reportedly remain free. While Samsung hasn't officially confirmed this, considering the leaker's solid track record, the rumor seems quite credible. There's a chance Samsung could confirm it during the next-generation Galaxy foldable launch on July 9, 2025. Speaking of the new foldables, the leaker also shared that Samsung's upcoming most affordable foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, will support the same AI features as the pricier Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. It'll also include a 6-month Gemini Advanced subscription out of the box, meaning the budget foldable may deliver just as much AI power as its flagship siblings.

This upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 rival is thinner than a pack of gum
TL;DR HONOR has revealed that its upcoming Magic V5 foldable phone will be just 8.8mm thick when folded. That means the new foldable is thinner than a pack of chewing gum or a CD case. The Magic V5 is scheduled to launch in China on July 2. Samsung is gearing up to launch a Galaxy Z Fold 7 that looks significantly thinner than previous models. However, rival brand HONOR says its upcoming Magic V5 will be the thinnest book-style foldable phone on the market. Now, the company has dished out specific details. HONOR announced that the Magic V5 will be just 8.8mm thick when folded. That means it's thinner than a pack of chewing gum or a jewel CD case (~10mm). It's also slightly thinner than the OPPO Find N5, which is the current record holder at 8.93mm thick. I'm guessing the Magic V5's measurement doesn't include the sizable camera bump. In any event, the Magic V2 was already thinner than a pen, but the V5 clearly takes things a step further. So you should definitely keep an eye on this new model if you want a book-style foldable phone that won't bulge out of your pocket or take up a lot of space in your bag. HONOR hasn't disclosed the phone's weight yet, but it will likely have stiff competition from the upcoming vivo X Fold 5. Vivo says its upcoming foldable phone will be lighter than the X Fold 3, which was the world's lightest foldable at 219 grams. The HONOR Magic V5 is scheduled to launch in China on July 2. There's no word on a global launch window just yet, but history suggests that we'll see a wider release by August or September. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
