This $0.99-per-month Samsung tablet and smartwatch deal at AT&T is too good to ignore

Samsung Unpacked was full of brand-new product launches, including the Z Flip 7 and the Z Fold 7. Both are foldable phones, with slimmed-down form factors that still make them fit easily into pockets and bags, and all the power needed to handle today's most strenuous mobile tasks.

And luckily for early adopters, AT&T is running a promotion where you can score a Galaxy Watch 8 and a Tab A9+ for $0.99 a month when you purchase either the Z Flip 7 or the Z Fold 7.

These two new models, the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, present upgraded and thinner options in the Samsung family. Both phones fold into smaller screens and open up into larger-sized handsets. Except, the Z Flip 7 is more comparable to a traditional flip phone, while the Z Fold 7 opens into the size of a smaller tablet. 

The Z Flip 7 is for those who want something that fits better in their pocket but still has touchscreen functions. Its newly optimized 4,300mAh battery means you won't have to worry about being glued to a charger. It also features a 50MP wide and a 12MP ultra-wide camera.

The Z Fold 7 is also expected to boast great battery life, but where the money is at is the screen size and upgraded cameras. The phone has a larger 8-inch internal display that gets brighter than ever, and it features three cameras: a 12MP ultra-wide, an upgraded 200MP wide, and a 10MP telephoto with 3x zoom. These cameras compete with some of the best smartphones on the market.

To no surprise, the screen is huge when opened up, and can provide a spacious media center whether you need to read an email for work or watch your favorite show on a flight. 

If you like personalized user interfaces, the Z Flip 7 features Samsung's upgraded One UI 8. With it, you can customize wallpapers and use interactive widgets to optimize your phone experience. 

Both of these phones offer the latest in Samsung's AI technology, like providing daily briefings, Photo Assist editing, and Writing Assist, so you can streamline tasks for work or your personal life. 

If you choose to go hands-on with Samsung's newest models, the Z Flip 7 or the Z Fold 7, you can purchase yours through AT&T and receive a Galaxy Watch 8a and a Tab A9+ for only $0.99 a month. It's a timely offer that nets you the full Galaxy ecosystem for less than retail.

How I rated this deal 

Buying a phone for full price can be a hard price tag to stomach; however, when there are two basically free premium items involved, the situation seems brighter. At the end of the day, you will have to pay for the phone, and essentially $2 a month for the other products. For these reasons, we gave this offer a 4/5 Editor's Deal rating.
