1. Best Smartphone Deal: Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G
Pros
- Octa-core processor
- AMOLED 2X screen with 120Hz refresh rate
- 30x digital zoom
- 5G-enabled phone
Cons
- Not the latest model
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is nearly half its original value, this Eid sale. If the latest S23 Ultra is currently out of your budget, you can still enjoy many of its brilliant specs in this mid-range S model. The octa-core processor easily powers the 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, the same screen found on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Its triple rear camera system includes an 8MP telephoto sensor, with a 32MP selfie camera. AI processing allows you to click clear night shots. Samsung promises more than 10 hours of battery life, but reviewers say the number is far lower when they have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other battery-draining services on.
Bonus: Buy with 0% instalments and pay Dh138.75 for 12 months with select banks.
Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year accidental damage protection for Dh114, a one-year extended warranty for Dh190 and a two-year damage protection plus a one-year extended warranty for Dh242.

All Surface Pro 9 models run on the 12th generation of Intel Evo, and you can take your pick between the Core i5 or the faster and more expensive Core i7.

Attend meetings via the 1080p HD front camera or transfer heavy files using the two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Reviewers say the size and the weight (878 grams) are perfect for study and play.

9. Best Men's Perfume Deal: Hugo Boss Bottled Night Men's Eau de Toilette
For men, this bottle of Hugo Boss Bottled Night is a must-have fragrance on the vanity. You're getting a whopping 72 per cent off, so don't miss out on the opportunity to gift a loved one or yourself this spicy, warm scent. It replicates the Louro Amarelo woody aroma with birch leaf and cardamom. Since it's an eau de toilette, the scent isn't as long-lasting as a perfume.
