If you are in the market for a phone AND a TV, Best Buy might have a deal for you.

Customers who buy or lease a Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge at the retailer will also get a free 32-inch Samsung Smart HDTV, Best Buy said Sunday. For another $250, buyers can upgrade to a 48-inch Samsung Smart HDTV. Activation is required.

The promotion, which began Sunday and runs through June 4, is available on Verizon, AT&T and Sprint. The offer for the 32-inch TV is available in store and online, while the 48-inch option is available only in store.

The new flagship phones, which launched last month, are dramatically different from their predecessors. They feature expandable storage (which was missing from the previous models) and are water-resistant again. They also sport bigger batteries and more powerful processors.

Samsung doesn't release sales figures for its handsets, but the Korean electronics giant last month credited the new handsets with contributing to a rebound in earnings.
