As Easter weekend approaches, there are some top deals right now on creative tech, and I've picked out 3 deals on smartphones that I think are excellent for content creation. Save $200 on the latest Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra over at Best Buy with 256GB of storage - bringing the price to just $1,099.99. I recently reviewed this phone, and it's unmatched in camera performance with top-tier Galaxy AI editing tools too.

If that's still a little pricey, there's also a great deal on the Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL models, both $250 off over at Best Buy. This makes the price only $849 for the Pixel 9 Pro model (previously $1,099) and just $949 for the Pro XL (usually $1,199) with 256GB of storage.

Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra is the latest flagship from the company and I've been testing it out for the last few weeks. The verdict? It's amazing for content creation in all aspects, whether that's photography, videography or graphic design. The AI tools are next-level and genuinely helpful with managing daily workloads too.

This phone from Motorola might be a few years old now, but the stunning 6.7-inch curved edge display and triple camera array make it an enticing choice for creatives. You can get those nice blurred background shots with this phone, and it has a generous amount of internal storage too for shooting video.
