Crazy deal brings the Galaxy Watch Ultra to its new best price
8/10
The Galaxy Watch Ultra has earned major praise, landing it a spot as one of our top smartwatches of 2025. It's sleek, loaded with high-end features, and while it might not be for everyone, the current price of $406—a whopping $244 off its original price—makes it a total steal.
Smartwatches have become a must-have, blending into daily life with features that keep you connected and on top of your health. Whether it's tracking your fitness stats or keeping notifications in check, these wearables do it all. And when it comes to top-tier smartwatches for Android, the Galaxy Watch Ultra stands out with its premium design and powerhouse performance.
Currently, you can grab the Galaxy Watch Ultra (LTE) for as low as $406, marking a huge drop from its original $650 price tag. At 37% off, this is the lowest it's ever been. Plus, other colors are getting big discounts too, with Titanium Gray at $413 and Titanium Silver at $417.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra shines with its outdoor-focused features, making it a top pick for hikers and athletes tackling tough environments. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that it only comes in a 47mm size. On the tech side, it packs a 1.47-inch Super AMOLED screen that's crazy bright, hitting up to 3,000 nits, which is even better than Samsung's earlier smartwatch displays.
Its titanium build makes it super tough, perfect for rough-and-tumble adventures, and it features dual-frequency GPS for pinpoint accuracy. With a 10 ATM water resistance rating, it's ready for swimming, diving, and more. Additionally, it's packed with features for all kinds of workouts, making it your ultimate outdoor companion.
Furthermore, its advanced BioActive Sensor tracks everything from heart rate and blood oxygen to a full breakdown of your body composition. Among the advancements featured in this device are AI-enhanced health metrics and advanced sleep analysis.
One standout feature, as noted in our review, is the dedicated button for instantly starting workouts. While body composition tracking has its perks, the real win is its solid battery life, lasting around two days on a charge.
Running on Samsung's Wear OS, the Galaxy Watch Ultra comes with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Its 590mAh battery is a major win for the price. On a full charge, you'll get up to 60 hours of use, and with power-saving modes, that stretches to an impressive 100 hours.

Got a Galaxy phone? Samsung says you should turn on these security features now!
Nick Fernandez / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has advised Galaxy users to activate a set of security features to protect their phones in case of theft. Most of these features made their way to Samsung devices with the One UI 7 update. The company says more Galaxy devices will get these features in the future. Samsung is asking Galaxy users to activate a set of security features on their phones. The company says that because phone theft incidents are rising worldwide, all Galaxy users must have the company's anti-theft features enabled to protect their devices. With the release of its Android 15-based One UI 7 update, Samsung updated a bunch of theft protection and anti-robbery features on its phones. These include the following: Theft Detection Lock: This is essentially an Android feature, available on devices with Android 10 or higher. It uses AI to detect if someone has snatched your phone from your hand and tried to run, bike, or drive away with it. Your phone's screen will instantly lock if Theft Detection Lock is triggered, protecting it from unauthorized access.

Your phone's screen will instantly lock if Theft Detection Lock is triggered, protecting it from unauthorized access. Offline Device Lock: Again, this is an Android feature and isn't Samsung-specific. Offline Device Lock automatically locks your screen to help protect your data even when your device is off the grid or in the wrong hands by detecting multiple failed authentication attempts. Again, this is an Android feature and isn't Samsung-specific. Offline Device Lock automatically locks your screen to help protect your data even when your device is off the grid or in the wrong hands by detecting multiple failed authentication attempts. Remote Lock: Remote Lock is also part of the Android suite of security features and lets you lock your phone screen with your phone number and a quick security challenge using any device. To enable any of the above features, navigate to Settings > Security and privacy > Lost device protection > Theft protection. Moreover, Samsung is also encouraging users to activate Identity Check, which ensures that biometric authentication is completed to change important security settings when your device is outside of a trusted location. Head to Settings > Security and privacy > Lost device protection > Theft protection > Identity Check to enable the feature on your Samsung phone. You can then add your 'Safe places,' which are essentially locations where your biometrics won't be required to change sensitive information. Samsung also highlighted Security Delay in its blog post. The feature is part of Identity Check and initiates a one-hour waiting period if someone tries resetting your device's biometric data, turning off Identity Check, changing lock screen settings, turning off Find My, or editing your safe places. This gives you time to lock your phone remotely in case of theft. Samsung says these features are currently available on the following devices, with more Galaxy phones in line to get them in the near future: Galaxy S25 series Galaxy S24 series Galaxy Z Fold 6 Galaxy Z Flip 6 Galaxy Z Fold 5 Galaxy Z Flip 5 Galaxy S23 series Galaxy S22 series Have you activated these security features on your Galaxy devices, or have you ever had to use any of them?
