This year's Prime Day finally goes live tomorrow, June 23rd, but Amazon isn't the only retailer dropping great deals this week. Walmart just kicked off its rival "Walmart Deals" sale event, slashing prices on everything from headphones and smartphones to top-selling VR headsets. Sure, it may not be the most cleverly-named sale event around, but if you want to skip Amazon's big sale this year, the Walmart Deals event has you covered.

One of the best parts of the weeklong sale event is that, unlike the best Prime Day deals, Walmart won't force you to sign up for a membership program to enjoy most of these discounts. Simply hit that Add to Cart button and the savings are yours.

With that being said, if you were interested in Walmart+, it's worth mentioning that the retailer is currently slashing 50% off an annual membership, dropping the price to only $49 for one year. Walmart+ members get benefits like free shipping, fuel discounts, and access to select deals before anyone else.

When does the Walmart Deals sale end?

The Walmart Deals sale event kicked off on June 22nd and will run through Sunday, June 28th. That being said, many of the best discounts are "flash deals" that only run for a limited time, so don't wait too long if a particular offer catches your eye.

The best part is that, unlike Amazon Prime Day, you don't need to be a member to enjoy the majority of Best Buy's discounts this week. Keep reading for all of my top picks from the sale event. Who knows? Find the right deal and you might even get to skip Prime Day altogether.

Everybody is getting pumped for next week's Prime Day sale event, but if you're on the hunt for an amazing Samsung Galaxy S26 deal, you don't need to wait. Mint Mobile has been running one of the best smartphone promotions on the web for months, and while it's no longer in the headlines, it deserves a second look before it's gone for good. 

Purchase the Samsung Galaxy S26 with one year of the Unlimited plan and Mint Mobile will give you $500 off the phone AND 50% off the wireless. That means you're getting a powerful 2026 flagship phone and a full 12 months of T-Mobile-powered wireless service for only $580 upfront (or $49 per month using affirm). The deal gets even better when you trade in, as Mint Mobile will give you up to $400 of additional savings depending on the age and condition of the device. 

Mint Mobile has my favorite Galaxy S26 deal, and I don't care who knows it

I've been covering Samsung Galaxy S26 deals on a regular basis since the phone first debuted in March, and Mint's offer continues to impress as one of the best on the web. It's really all about the simplicity for me. Unlike most carrier deals, which force you to process a trade-in or sign up for some expensive data plan to receive the savings, all you need to do is hit the Add to Cart button to receive the phone and wireless bundle. 

Activation just takes a few minutes, and again, it'll only cost you $580 out the door to get a new phone AND cover your phone bill until 2027. Considering that the Galaxy S26 usually retails for $900 on its own, it's a pretty remarkable opportunity. 

For a little perspective, think about it this way: according to Camelcamelcamel.com (an Amazon price history tracking tool) the price of the Samsung Galaxy S26 has never dropped lower than $799.99 at Amazon. Let's be generous and say that the upcoming Prime Day sale event drops the flagship phone to $699.99 unlocked. That's still $120 more expensive than Mint Mobile's deal, and it doesn't come with the full year of unlimited T-Mobile-powered wireless. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Sure, if you prefer the simplicity of unlocked phones or you don't want to commit to a full year of Mint, then this deal isn't for you. But if you hate paying your phone bill and you want a great deal on a great Samsung phone, grab this Mint Mobile offer before it disappears.

One of the biggest sales of the year kicks off in just a few days, but you may not need to wait for Prime Day to score some incredible deals on Kindle e-readers. Amazon has already begun slashing prices on some of the best Kindle tablets we've ever used, with particularly good deals on the Paperwhite and Colorsoft series.

These versatile devices give you the ability to carry thousands of books with you wherever you go, plus you'll enjoy great battery life, adjustable displays, and even AI-boosted software features with certain models. Most of the early Prime Day deals listed below also come with accessories like stands, chargers, and protective sleeves, so take a look and get ready to crush those 2026 reading goals.

Didn't find what you were looking for? Bookmark this page and check back later to see what's new: I'll keep adding new Kindle deals to this list until Prime Day comes to a close on June 26th.

• Amazon Prime Day returns June 23-26: see the full list of early deals

When is Prime Day?

This year's Amazon Prime Day is set to begin on June 23rd and will run through June 26th. The four-day sale event kicks off on Tuesday at 12:01am PDT and will end on Friday at 11:59pm PDT.

Do I need to be a Prime member to shop during Prime Day?

The vast majority of Prime Day deals will only be available to Amazon Prime members. If you haven't joined yet, it's worth mentioning that customers who sign up for Amazon's 30-day free trial will get access to all of the exclusive deals without paying a dime, plus you'll get other membership benefits, such as free shipping, unlimited streaming, fuel discounts, and more.

Which Kindle e-reader is best?

We consider the Kindle Paperwhite (12th Gen) to be the overall best Kindle e-reader for most people, thanks to its sophisticated blend of specs, value, and useful features. The device boasts up to three months of battery life on a single charge, plus you get a highly-adjustable 300ppi E Ink display, 16GB of storage, and IPX8 water resistance.

While everything else seems to be getting more expensive lately, there's one crucial commodity that's been largely unaffected: wireless service. With the growing ubiquity of prepaid carriers, even the largest mobile service providers are beginning to lower their prices and offer new data plans for the budget-minded consumer.

Verizon already revolutionized the wireless experience with its customizable myPlan program, but the Big Three carrier has just taken things even further by launching its brand new Simplicity plan. Starting at just $30 per month (for new members with AutoPay), the new phone plan provides unlimited talk, text, and data on Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network, mobile hotspot data, and more.

I've been covering Verizon plans for quite a few years now, but even I have to admit that this sounds too good to be true. Is the new Simplicity plan right for you and your family? Let's discuss. 

In addition to unlimited wireless on Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network, the new Simplicity plan also comes with 10GB of mobile hotspot data, international roaming and satellite texting, call filter, and optional entertainment bundles that you can mix and match every month. 

These packages include the "For Movie Lovers" bundle, which gives you access to Disney Plus, Hulu, Netflix, and HBO Max for only $23 per month. Other bundles include music streaming, cloud storage, and international benefits for additional monthly fees.

The Simplicity plan also introduces the new Verizon Dollars loyalty program. Whenever you spend money at Verizon, this included perk gets you 3% back in the form of rewards that you can spend on the carrier's site or at one of its many partners, including Starbucks, Target, Hilton hotels, and more. 

So what's the catch? 

The Verizon Simplicity plan offers a ton of value no matter how you look at it, but that doesn't mean it's for everyone. One thing I noticed is that, unlike other Verizon plans, the Simplicity plan doesn't get cheaper the more lines you add. For new Verizon customers, the plan costs $30/month per line, whether you're adding one line or four. This could be a problem for families who try to save money by utilizing multiline discounts.

Furthermore, it appears that video streaming on the Simplicity plan is capped at 720p, and unlike most cheap phone plans offered by MVNO carriers, taxes and fees aren't included in the price listed above. And again, the $30 per month price is only available to new subscribers who use AutoPay — existing Verizon customers will pay $45 per month for each line.

Is the Simplicity plan worth it?

If you're a new customer who is ready to switch to Verizon and you don't need all of the bells and whistles offered by premium unlimited plans, then Verizon's Simplicity plan might be perfect for you. If you're an existing Verizon customer or you're looking to bring the whole family, however, I'd probably look elsewhere. 

I rely on thermal cameras while testing phones to identify hot spots and see just how much they heat up while gaming. I used Thermal Master's P3 in the past, and the brand's latest P4 camera has a lot of the same features, and a new dual-lens system that takes photos in visible light, which is an interesting addition.

The P4 usually costs $399, but it is down to $299 ahead of Prime Day on Thermal Master's website. You can get an additional 10% discount by using the code THERMALBF10, bringing the price down to $269. The Amazon link still shows as $399, and the brand notes that it will go down to $269 (with the included code) from June 22, when Prime Day starts in earnest.

Like other Thermal Master products, the P4 is quite diminutive, and setting it up is as easy as plugging it to your phone and installing the Temp Master mobile app. It works with all Android phones, and I didn't have any issues using it with my Vivo V70 Elite and X300. You also get a cable extender in the box if you need a little more headroom to position the camera, and there's a hard shell carrying box to store the P4 when it's not in use.

Coming to the thermal imaging, the P4 is able to measure from -4℉ to 1112℉ (-20℃ to 600℃), and it's quite good at identifying heat spots on gadgets — this is what I used it predominantly in the month I had it. I tested it with the Redmagic 11S Pro (which has a built-in fan), and it showed that the fan on the device was blowing hot air away from the phone in real-time, and that was interesting to see.

The P4 has a fixed-focus lens, and the sensor has a resolution of 512 x 384, which is pretty decent in this category. The visible-light sensor is a great addition this time, and it works in conjunction with the IR lens to make it easier to identify any overheating issues.

You get 12 color palettes, and the image quality itself is a smidgen better than previous Thermal Master cameras I used. On the whole, it's a reliable product that gets a lot right, and if you need a thermal camera that you can use with your phone, the P4 gets my recommendation — particularly now that it's down to $269.

It's been less than two years since the Oura Ring 4 launched, and the Oura Ring 5 is already here. And while we have some good first impressions of Oura's latest smart ring, the last-gen model is currently on sale ahead of next week's Prime Day. Now, select Oura Ring 4 models are on sale, but some of the more expensive color options are currently seeing discounts, including the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic.

The Oura Ring 4 Stealth and Brushed Silver colors usually go for $399, which is $50 north of the cheapest Oura Ring 4 models. However, with the $50 discount, these colors are now among the cheapest you can buy. That said, the bigger $100 discounts will be found on the fancier colors, such as Gold and Rose Gold, as well as the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic, all of which are going for $399 or lower if you get the Midnight Ceramic color.

• Prime Day returns June 23-26: see the full list of early deals

I've been using the Brushed Silver Oura Ring 4 since it launched in 2024, and while it's thicker than some feel comfortable with, I've never had an issue with it. I don't often wear rings, so I don't really have anything to compare it to aside from the Oura Ring Gen 3. Still, even with the slimmer Oura Ring 5 now on the market, I think the Oura Ring 4 is a fantastic device with a great design.

But beyond a great design, the Oura Ring 4 has stellar battery life, lasting up to eight days on a single charge. There are also a ton of health and fitness tracking features, and it even has automatic activity detection, tracking things like walking, running, yard work, gardening, and even dancing.

The Oura Ring 4 also provides a comprehensive view of your health in the app. You can see your timeline of activities, set goals for yourself, log food and track nutrition, and even chat with the AI advisor about your health, based on what it knows about you.

Of course, many of the most useful features are hidden behind the Oura Membership, which costs $5.99 per month. To some, it seems like a lot to add to the cost of a relatively expensive ring. However, keep in mind that if you have an HSA or FSA, you can use that to pay for both the ring and the membership. For many people, that money is often just sitting there unused, and the Oura Ring 4 feels like a good way to put it to use.

Prime Day officially kicks off on June 23rd, but you may not need to wait if you're on the hunt for a great wireless headphones or earbuds deal. Days before the big sale begins in earnest, Amazon is slashing up to 46% off models by Sony, Samsung, Beats, and more, and I've dropped a selection of my favorite picks under $200 into this guide. 

The headphones and earbuds listed below include features like Active Noise Cancellation, customizable EQ settings, and up to 50 hours of battery life on a single charge, and all of this comes at a price that won't break the bank. Didn't find what you were looking for today? Check back later: I'll keep adding new deals to this list as we approach Prime Day 2026.

Early Prime Day headphone deals

Early Prime Day earbud deals

When is Prime Day?

Prime Day 2026 will officially begin on June 23rd and run through June 26th. The sale is expected to showcase hundreds of deals on tech, appliances, furniture, and more, with the majority of offers being exclusive to Amazon Prime subscribers. Not a Prime member yet? Don't worry: Amazon is running a 30-day free trial so you can enjoy all of the benefits of a Prime membership without paying a cent.

What are the best wireless headphones for Android users?

We generally consider the Sony WH-1000XM6 to be the best wireless headphones for Android users in 2026. Usually retailing around $369, these premium cans boast cutting-edge noise cancellation with a ton of customizable EQ settings, incredible sound, and up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge. Although they're currently selling for full price at Amazon, it's quite likely that the XM6 will get a hefty discount when Prime Day begins in earnest on June 23rd. 

What are the best wireless earbuds for Android users?

Our top recommendation for the best wireless earbuds of 2026 go to the Sony WF-1000XM6. These buds are equipped with powerful 8.4mm drivers for impressive sound, plus you get adjustable noise cancellation, LDAC support, and features like 360 Reality Audio. 

The biggest Amazon sale of the year is just days away, but if you're in the market for a new Android phone, why wait? Early Prime Day deals have landed, including this offer that carves a straight 24% off the Nothing Phone (3) with 512GB of storage. That knocks the price of the eye-catching smartphone down to its lowest price ever recorded, no strings attached. 

• Prime Day returns June 23-26: see the full list of early deals

Straight out of the box, the first thing you'll notice about the Nothing Phone (3) is its unique design. Staying true to Nothing's distinctive design ethos, the Phone (3) sports an LED dot matrix grid on the back that you can use for notifications and other tools, while the overall styling feels almost cyberpunk in aesthetic without sacrificing IP68 durability. 

The Nothing Phone (3) also features a vibrant 6.67-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1,600 nits of max brightness, while under the hood you get a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor and 16GB of RAM. The device is also driven by Nothing OS 3.5, which is one of the cleanest and most intuitive software interfaces we've ever used. The OS delivers a ton of customization options with widgets, color stylings, and features like Essential Space. 

So what's the catch?

Unfortunately, performance on the Nothing Phone (3) falls behind competitors like the OnePlus 15 and Samsung Galaxy S26 by utilizing the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset instead of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The phone also doesn't launch with Android 16, and the cameras, while decent, don't measure up against the device's main rivals. 

So is the Nothing Phone (3) right for you? Well, if you want an eye-catching smartphone with great battery life and clean software, it's a great choice, and this record low price makes right now the perfect time to buy. On the other hand, if you care less about looks and are searching for something with powerful hardware and versatile camera tech, there are plenty of other Android phones to consider this Prime Day.

Prime Day 2026 is a little over a week away, but Amazon apparently couldn't wait to discount some of its most popular Fire devices early. From streaming sticks to tablets and smart displays, we're already seeing some incredible discounts on Amazon devices, and I've dropped a selection of my favorite deals below.

The nice thing is that, unlike official Prime Day deals, you don't need to be a Prime member to enjoy (most of) the savings listed below. Simply hit that Add to Cart button and the low price is yours. Will deals on Amazon Fire devices get even better when Prime Day kicks off in earnest on June 23rd? Only time will tell, but the offers below are a great way to save money today if you don't want to wait.

When is Prime Day 2026?

Prime Day 2026 is confirmed for June 23-26, which gives you four full days to take advantage of the best tech deals this side of Black Friday. Everything from smartphones and tablets to TVs and laptops are sure to get record-smashing discounts this year, so get your list ready. Needless to say, we'll be sharing all of the best Android deals for the duration of the sale, so be sure to bookmark Android Central for all of your Prime Day needs.

Do I have to be a member to shop during Prime Day 2026?

Although some Prime Day deals may be available to the general public, most of the best offers will be exclusive to Amazon Prime members. If you haven't signed up yet (or you don't want to give Amazon any more of your hard-earned cash), don't worry: the retailer is offering a 30-day free trial that lets you enjoy all of the benefits of a Prime membership without paying a cent.

T-Mobile may get all of the attention when it comes to Android phone deals, but if you're looking for an affordable wireless solution with no hidden fees or confusing contract, the subsidiary Metro by T-Mobile might be the carrier for you. 

Owned and operated by its namesake, Metro by T-Mobile offers plans that start as little as $40 per month for a single line, and you might even get a free phone when you select the right membership tier. But which plan is right for you and are the free devices worth it? Let's break it down. 

• See the full list of deals at Metro by T-Mobile

What does a Metro by T-Mobile plan come with?

All three mainline Metro by T-Mobile plans come with unlimited talk, text, and data on T-Mobile's vast network, plus you get a five-year price guarantee and access to exclusive discounts and offers on T-Mobile Tuesdays. 

Go with Metro's $50/month or $60/month plan and you'll get all of the above, in addition to mobile hotspot data, a Google One membership, and included upgrades on phones. The premium $60/month even comes with unlimited premium data and international benefits. 

Bringing multiple users to Metro by T-Mobile? All three plans get cheaper the more lines you add, dropping to as little as $25/month per line when you add four lines.

Prime Day doesn't officially kick off until June 23rd, but Amazon has already begun teasing its best Garmin watch deals early. Whether you want a rugged epix Pro or the hybrid-style Venu 4, you can save up to 50% off some of Garmin's most popular models by shopping at Amazon today. Needless to say, I've dropped a selection of my favorite offers from the early sale below.

Garmin has been producing some of the world's best fitness watches for years, with a bounty of options for every budget and skill level under the sun. These picks range from rugged wearables with military-grade durability to stylish devices that could easily be mistaken for a traditional smartwatch. Keep reading for all of my favorite discounts available right now, and don't forget to check back later to see what's new: I'll be updating this guide with new Garmin deals until Prime Day wraps up on June 26th.

• Prime Day returns June 23-26: see the full list of early deals

When is Prime Day?

Prime Day 2026 has officially been confirmed for June 23th through June 26th. That gives you four days to explore the sale, but if you don't want to wait, there are plenty of early deals already available.

Do I need to be a Prime member to shop during Prime Day?

For the most part, yes. Since the inaugural sale event in 2015, Prime Day has largely been a way for Amazon to celebrate its existing members and encourage new sign-ups, which means the vast majority of discounts will only be available to users of Amazon Prime.

In other words, if you aren't a member, you're going to miss out on a lot of the fun when Prime Day kicks off on June 23rd. The good news is that Amazon offers a 30-day free trial that lets you explore all of the ins and outs of a Prime membership without paying a dime. You can cancel at any time, which means you could simply sign up today, do some Prime Day shopping, and delete your account as soon as the sale is over with zero hassle.

What is the best Garmin watch to buy?

We consider the Venu 4 to be the best overall Garmin watch, largely because it has something for everyone without costing an exorbitant amount of cash. You get all of the latest health and fitness tracking technology, of course, but there's also support for voice commands, a built-in flashlight, an AMOLED display, and dual-band GPS. The Garmin Venu 4 also features a more smartwatch-esque design, which is nice for users who prefer something discreet over a bulky fitness watch.

That being said, despite its versatility, the Venu 4 is not necessarily the most powerful or feature-packed watch by Garmin. If you can afford it, the Garmin Fenix 8 is the best model for serious athletes, boasting fantastic battery life with an ultra-durable build and a comprehensive suite of accurate health and fitness tracking features.

The FIFA World Cup is upon us, but there are only a few phone cameras that can truly capture all of the action without skipping a beat. Before you head off to the next match, keep reading for my hand-picked list of the best Android phone cameras that money can buy in 2026.

Let's face it: not all camera phones are created equal. Some are better at taking action shots, while other devices might be better suited for selfies. Most of the picks below are even chockful of AI-boosted software features so you can edit all of your images and videos directly on the device. 

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is unsurprisingly at the top of the list, but there are plenty of other options available if you want something more affordable or specialized. Needless to say, if you're trying to select the Android phone with the best camera tech possible, you'll find it on this list. 

Which camera phone is best?

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max are generally considered to be the best camera phones on the market today, balancing high-res lens systems with AI-powered editing features and powerful video recording technology. The Google Pixel 10 Pro is also well-regarded as a powerful camera phone, while the Google Pixel 10a is an outstanding choice if you want flagship-level cameras at a lower price. 

Is a real camera or smartphone camera better?

It should come as no surprise that, generally speaking, using a real camera will result in better photos. That being said, it can take months of study and practice to capture professional-looking images on a traditional camera. 

Smartphones, on the other hand, are designed to be user-friendly straight out of the box, with a ton of on-device editing tools, AI features, and more. Unless you're serious about learning photography skills, simply using the phone in your pocket may give you better images on the fly. 

Let's face it: the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus gets far less attention than the base model S26 or super-powered S26 Ultra. That may spell bad news for Samsung, but it's a boon for consumers seeking an outstanding Android phone deal. 

Case in point: buy the Galaxy S26 Plus with a new line on the Experience More or Experience Beyond plan and T-Mobile will give you the super-balanced flagship for 100% free. That's $1,099.99 in monthly bill credits, and you don't even have to deal with the hassle of a trade-in . 

• See my guide to the best T-Mobile deals of June 2026

The Galaxy S26 Plus has been largely overshadowed by other 2026 Android phones, and that's a shame when you consider the overall package here. Right out of the box, the phone sports a brilliant 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and IP68 water-and-dust protection, while under the hood you get 12GB of RAM and outstanding performance from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. 

The S26 Plus also boasts a ton of useful AI features, seven years of guaranteed OS and security upgrades, and an efficient 4,900mAh battery that should easily last a full day on a single charge. 

So why is the Galaxy S26 Plus so often overlooked? I'd call it a price and comparison problem. Like many phones released this year, the Galaxy S26 Plus was hit with a $100 price hike, which means it now costs $1,099.99 unlocked. That's only $200 cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is a considerably better phone by just about every metric.

Unlike the Ultra, the Galaxy S26 Plus doesn't really innovate in any category, either; it's a solid "Goldilocks" phone that performs well but doesn't exactly inspire excitement in users. In other words, folks who are searching for S26 deals are likely to choose the S26 Ultra for a more premium experience, or they'll go with the base model S26 if they want something simple. And that leaves the S26 Plus in the dust.

We've said it before: OEMs don't need to be producing new flagship phones every year, let alone three. But now that the Galaxy S26 Plus is among us, it deserves a closer look, especially if you can get it for free from your wireless carrier.

The Marshall Monitor III ANC headphones remain my favorite headphones of all time. If you see me on a flight and I'm not wearing these, that wasn't me you saw. My unhealthy attachment to these incredible over-ear headphones is well justified. They might be expensive, but the Marshall Monitor III ANC headphones are a sensory delight, canceling out intimidating turbulence in flights or the loud chatter of crowds outdoors.

Not to mention, the audio quality is an absolute treat, the build is light and airy, you can twist and fold them, and Marshall includes a velvet-lined carrying case to store the headphones. Plus, there's a 3.5mm audio jack with an audio cable included in the box.

Marshall's offering aside, there are plenty of excellent alternatives available. If you've got summer plans and want a brilliant pair of wireless headphones to accompany you, this is the perfect list I have curated just for you. I have prioritized comfort above all, especially to beat the heat. Portability and battery life are also important concerns on the go, and I took that into account too.

Can't forget a Bluetooth headphone adapter for in-flight entertainment

Looking for the right headphones to travel with? Here's how to pick the right ones

Shortage of availability is the least of your concerns when looking at the best headphones or earbuds to take with you on holidays and trips. Over-ear headphones are more popular for people on the go because they offer superior comfort. The cushioned cups are unrivaled in the face of even the most ergonomic wireless earbuds of the highest stature. This also helps with noise cancelation, as the cups seal in the sound and prevent leakages.

I can't recommend the Marshall Monitor III ANC headphones enough. Apart from the many merits of the headphones that I have already mentioned, they also sport an impressive 70-hour battery life. With options for both wired and wireless playback, Auracast support, and fast charging capabilities, these are fantastic headphones for travel.

If you want the very best noise-canceling headphones and will spare no expense in your pursuit, the ultra-premium Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are a staff favorite. Brady Snyder swears by them, having taken the QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones on multiple international trips. For Snyder, these headphones beat the AirPods Max. Meanwhile, our reviewer Tshaka Armstrong called them the "all-around best ANC headphones you can buy right now" in his review.

All of the other picks in this collection fit different categories, but they all match the comfort, quality, and battery life requirements for traveling. Each and every pick, from the Sony WH-1000XM6 and Nothing Headphone (a) to the CMF Headphone Pro to the EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus, have been tested thoroughly by our team.

Planning on flying with these headphones? Don't forget to get a trusty Bluetooth headphone adapter to connect and use your own headphones with the in-flight entertainment console.

Charging gear can get convoluted and you might feel unsure about what constitutes essential gear, especially when traveling. That's why I have built the perfect power and charging kit for you, so your phone, headphones, laptop, and other gear can stay charged even on the go.

Not only does this guide cover the basics such as a versatile charger and a decent USB-C cable, but it also includes travel essentials and optional extras, like a travel adapter with various pins to make life easier. These are my personal favorite charging accessories, so you can rest assured that they are tried and tested.

If you're short on cash after booking your holiday plans, take advantage of the ongoing summer deals that have been popping up here and there. Amazon Prime Day 2026 is also fast approaching, so you can score some sweet deals on a lot of these charging accessories if they're out of your budget.

How to pick the right charging gear for your home and travel needs this summer

We're entering the summer season, and that means folks are traveling. Picking the right charging gear to purchase for your excursions — and for home use, for that matter — is a lot easier with this essential power and charging kit.

If you're looking to learn how to pick the right charger for your phone, I have written a detailed guide that you should read. Basically, I recommend my "four Ps method" which prioritizes ports, power, profile, and price. For an average user with two phones being used at home, a laptop or a Chromebook, and one additional accessory, I'd say get a three-port charger with one USB-A, two USB-C ports, and 65W minimum. The UGREEN Nexode 65W USB-C Wall Charger with three ports checks all the boxes.

Of course, if you're traveling you need a similar setup but with interchangeable pins. The 70W Baseus EnerCore CG11 Universal Travel Adapter comes with a retractable USB-C cable and pins for various regions. It is my favorite travel adapter at the moment.

Similarly, I have also covered the most important types of USB cables in another comprehensive guide. Ideally, you must have at least one highly rated USB C-to-C cable, such as a 100W cord, and another versatile cable like the Raycon Magic Flex Cable 6-in-1 with interchangeable USB-C, USB-A, and Lightning ports. If you're on the go, the Raycon cable is perfect because it's six cables in one body!

When it comes to power banks, you can go for something lightweight and safe, like the semi-solid-state 5,000mAh power bank from BMX. Alternatively, if you need more power, the INIU Cougar P63-E1 100W 25,000mAh Power Bank is a solid choice.

The prices on memory and storage devices are at an all-time high, and with the growing demands of AI infrastructure, the crisis is unlikely to go away any time soon. That being said, it's not all bad news, as Amazon is currently slashing prices on a bunch of popular external storage devices ahead of Prime Day 2026.

Whether you need a portable SSD for on-the-go file management or a powerful NAS for Plex, I've dropped a selection of my favorite active storage deals below. Some of these devices might drop the price of external storage down to $0.20 per GB or less, so take a look and see what you can find.

Sure, prices might get even lower when Prime Day officially kicks off on June 23rd, but for folks who don't want to wait, these are some of the most cost-effective storage solutions on the web today. Didn't find what you were looking for? Check back later to see what's new: I'll keep adding new storage deals to this list as we approach the big sale.

When is Prime Day 2026?

Prime Day 2026 is set for June 23rd through the 26th, which gives you four full days to explore some of the best tech deals of the year.

Do I have to be a member to shop during Amazon Prime Day? 

Although some deals will be available to the general public, the best offers will be reserved for Amazon Prime members. Haven't signed up yet? Don't forget that Amazon offers a 30-day free trial so you can explore all of the benefits of Prime — such as free shipping and unlimited streaming — without paying a cent. You can even cancel as soon as the sale is over with zero hassle.

Why are storage devices so expensive right now?

Although there are a number of factors at play, the current RAM and storage crisis is largely happening because of the rapid growth of artificial intelligence infrastructure. Simply put, AI data centers require a staggering amount of storage, and this has resulted in a supply shortage for consumer-grade devices. Tech that uses onboard storage and RAM (such as Android phones) is also getting more expensive because of the shortage, so upcoming sales like Amazon Prime Day are more crucial than ever before.

It's no secret that the AI boom has dropped us into a bit of a RAM/hard drive crisis, but that doesn't mean that you can't find a good storage deal if you know where to look. Weeks ahead of Prime Day, Amazon is slashing 31% off the popular Samsung T7 external SSD with 1TB of storage, knocking the price down to $189.99 for a limited time.

Sure, this portable storage device was cheaper before the current crisis began, but as the global memory shortage is showing no signs of stopping any time soon, I'll take any discount I can get. Think about it this way: this Amazon deal gets you 1TB of storage for about $0.19 per gigabyte. Doesn't sound too bad, does it?

• Amazon Prime Day returns June 23-26: see the full list of early deals

The Samsung T7 series has been around for a while, offering users read and write speeds of up to 1,050MB/s and 1,000MB/s, respectively, alongside high-end encryption and enough power to record high-res 4K video directly on the device. 

That being said, the main selling point for the Samsung T7 SSD is its portability. Weighing less than a pound and small enough to fit into a coat pocket, the T7 is the perfect choice for photographers, content creators, and travelers who need an external storage solution on the go. 

Constructed from shock-resistant aluminum, the external SSD has also been drop-tested from up to six feet in height, and you even get a three year limited warranty in case something does go wrong. 

Will the Samsung T7 SSD get even cheaper when the Prime Day deals begin in earnest? Only time will tell, but if you need an external storage device today and you're worried about rising prices, I'd jump on this opportunity as soon as you can. 

The Samsung T7 SSD is the perfect storage solution when you're on the go, but if you need something more comprehensive for home use, check out our guide to the best NAS server for home in 2026.

Most nights of the week, I find myself snuggled up to my family in bed, catching up on the latest manga or reading a book using one of the many Bigme e-readers I've got. Why do I have so many, you wonder? Since each of these devices is a radically different size, I use them for several different reasons, and since they're all powered by Android and include the Google Play Store, they can run all of the apps I love, sync my progress in books, and do basically everything I want them to.

Better yet, all three of these devices are currently at their lowest price ever ahead of Prime Day 2026, a four-day sales event that runs June 23-26 this year. Don't believe me? Just click that "price history" button on the Amazon listing to see for yourself! To make things even better, Bigme sent us over a special code that'll get you an extra 5% off each of these three devices.

For the Bigme B10 Color (that's the largest one pictured above), that means an extra $32.95 off the already low price. The B7 Color is an extra $13.72 off, while the Hibreak Pro Color smartphone is an extra $22.23 off when you use the code B99ZD7WO at checkout. This special code lasts until June 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM PDT, so you've got a bit of time to decide (or save up) to grab one of these phenomenal e-readers.

The Bigme B7 Color is likely the best pick for most people and just so happens to be the least expensive model on this list. This one is a more standard e-reader size at 7 inches, like a Kindle Colorsoft, but I like Bigme's design better for three reasons.

First, Bigme puts the hand-holding portion on the side rather than the bottom. I find this to be a lot more comfortable when reading, especially if I'm resting it on a pillow or something. Second, it has customizable physical buttons on the front that can be used for turning pages, adjusting the brightness, and more. And third, the metal frame feels cool to the touch, something I always enjoyed about the more expensive Kindle Oasis models.

This one also ships with a stylus that can be used to take notes, and writing on the textured E Ink display feels more like writing on paper than a traditional LCD or OLED tablet. Battery life is more like a tablet than a barebones Kindle-like e-reader since it can run full apps, though, so you'll be charging this once or twice a week with regular use instead of once every few weeks like with a Kindle.

Bigme's B10 Color is a big boy tablet in more ways than one, and while I primarily use mine to read manga, I've used it to take notes and do some web browsing when I don't want to be bothered to find my phone or laptop.

The B10 Color's E Ink screen looks brilliant in any light and, unlike a traditional LCD/OLED tablet or computer, can be used in the sunlight without draining the battery heavily. That's because E Ink absorbs and reflects external light, making it look and feel more like using paper, while traditional displays can only shine light from behind the display (or directly from the pixels).

I got my first color E Ink tablet last year, and this one is an upgrade from that experience in every way, particularly the battery life. The customizable capacitive keys on the front are also a great addition, and I'm always surprised how often I find myself using them, considering smartphones haven't had keys like this for a long time.

Whether you're looking for a phone that will help reduce headaches or you're just trying to stave off that social media addiction, the Bigme Hibreak Pro Color is a fantastic choice as a total phone replacement. I swapped out my phone for one back in February and was pleasantly surprised at not only how well all my favorite apps worked, but how it helped me curb some bad social media habits.

If you've ever used an E Ink device like a Kindle, you might be surprised at how capable these devices are. The latest updates have delivered 42Hz and 52Hz refresh rate modes, which make fast motion in things like videos and games substantially better than in the past.

Keep in mind, this isn't a phone you're going to play Fortnite on, and its specs are in line with that. But, if you're looking for something that feels great to read on night and day with zero eye strain, this might just be the perfect phone replacement, especially since it's powered by Android.

Prime Day season is upon us, but you don't need to wait for some big sale to score excellent Samsung Galaxy deals at Amazon. The retailer has wasted no time in discounting some of our favorite smartphones, wearables, and more ahead of the main event, and I've dropped a selection of the best offers below. 

The best part? Unlike most official Prime Day deals, the offers below require no membership to receive the savings — they're just good old-fashioned deals for seasoned Samsung enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Keep reading for all of my favorite early picks, and don't forget to check back later to see what's new: I'll continue adding new Samsung discounts to this list as Prime Day 2026 gets closer.

Prime Day FAQ

When is Prime Day 2026?

Prime Day 2026 has been officially confirmed for June 23-26, which means you have four days to take advantage of some of the year's best deals at Amazon. 

What Samsung Galaxy deals should I expect during Prime Day 2026?

First off, you can pretty much guarantee that Amazon is going to be discounting the Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup to Black Friday-level lows (or better). We've never seen the base model Galaxy S26 drop any lower than $799, for instance, so I'd expect the phone to drop to $759 or less during the sale now that it's been out for a while.

Similarly, with Samsung Unpacked just around the corner, don't be surprised if the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Z Fold 7, and Galaxy Watch 8 series get hefty Prime Day discounts as the retailer makes room for the new devices. Needless to say, we'll be sharing all of the best Samsung discounts when the sale kicks off in earnest, so keep checking our site for the latest deal coverage. 

Can you shop Prime Day deals with an Amazon Prime free trial? 

Yes! If you're not an Prime member, you can sign up for Amazon's 30-day free trial to enjoy all of the benefits of a subscription, including free shipping, unlimited streaming, and access to all of the best deals during Prime Day 2026. The best part is that you can cancel your membership at any time, which means you can sign up for the free trial today, do a bunch of shopping during Prime Day, and cancel your account after the sale without paying a cent. 

It's official: Prime Day returns on June 23rd, but you don't need to wait for the big sale to score some incredible deals on Google Pixel devices. Weeks before the main event kicks off, Amazon is slashing up to $250 off devices like the Google Pixel 10 and Pixel Watch 4, and you don't even need to be a Prime member to enjoy the savings.

Keep reading for all of the best early Prime Day Google Pixel deals, hand-picked by yours truly. Who knows? Find the right deal today and you might even get to skip the official Amazon sale altogether. 

Prime Day 2026 is confirmed for June 23-26. Just like past events, most of the best deals will only be available to Prime members. Still need to sign up? Amazon is offering a 30-day free trial that will let you enjoy all of the benefits of a Prime membership without paying a cent.

Prime Day FAQ

When is Prime Day 2026?

Amazon has officially confirmed that Prime Day 2026 will be begin on June 23rd and run through June 26th. This means that you have four full days to take advantage of the sale event, although that hasn't stopped Amazon from trickling out some pretty impressive deals in advance. 

What deals can I expect during Prime Day 2026? 

Prime Day showcases great deals across all of the many product categories at Amazon, from furniture and clothing to toys and tech. As such, you can expect many of the best Android devices on the market to get some sort of discount as part of the sale. 

More specifically, the latest devices from Google and Samsung are sure to get major discounts during Prime Day 2026, plus we may see some of the first price cuts on Motorola's new 2026 Razr lineup of foldable phones. Other deals are likely to include major discounts on Android smartwatches and tablets, in addition to smart rings, Chromebooks, smart glasses, and more. Needless to say, we'll be sharing all of the best Prime Day discounts as they go live. 

Do I need to be a Prime member to shop during Amazon Prime Day?

Although select discounts may be available to the general public, the vast majority of deals during Prime Day will be exclusive to Amazon Prime members. Haven't joined yet? Sign up for Amazon's 30-day free trial to enjoy all of the benefits of a Prime membership without paying a cent. The cost of a membership is $14.99 per month once the trial period is up, but you can cancel at any time with zero hassle. 

Good things come to those who wait, especially when it comes to smartphone deals. For example, 2025's Google Pixel 10 Pro — which used to be a bit unapproachable because of its $1,000 price tag — is no longer the new kid on the block, which means you can find some pretty exceptional deals on the phone if you know where to look.

Verizon will now give you the Pro for FREE when you add with an eligible unlimited plan on the carrier's website. As if that wasn't enough, Verizon will also give you a free $100 gift card AND waive the $40 activation fee.

Furthermore, unlike some carrier deals, you don't need to sign up for Verizon's most expensive data plan to be eligible — the Unlimited Welcome, Unlimited Plus, and Unlimited Ultimate plans will all earn you the max savings. That's $1,140 of free stuff, and all you need to do is add a line (which you were probably going to do anyway).

Google's greatest creation is now FREE at Verizon

The Google Pixel 10 Pro topped our list of the best AI phones that money can buy, and for good reason. The super-powered flagship is packed with the latest Gemini implementation and on-device processing, allowing you to use exclusive features like Magic Cue and Daily Hub straight out of the box.

The phone is also equipped with the efficient Tensor G5 processor and 16GB of RAM, plus you get a 6.3-inch Super Actua OLED display that's simply a joy to behold. The Pixel 10 Pro also comes with 25W Qi2 magnetic charging, excellent haptics, and a bounty of new camera features, and like all of the best Google Pixel phones ever built, you're guaranteed seven years of OS and security upgrades.

Like I mentioned above, you'll need to add a line with one of Verizon's mainline unlimited plans to receive the $1,140 of savings. These start at $55/month for a single line, although you can drop that price down significantly by adding multiple lines in one go (four lines of the Unlimited Welcome plan costs $25/month per line, for instance). All plans come with unlimited talk, text, and data on Verizon's vast 5G network, plus you have the ability to mix and match additional perks such as international coverage, streaming subscriptions, and more.

Of course, if you prefer the simplicity of buying phones unlocked, it'd be understandable if you wanted to wait until Prime Day 2026 to buy a new Android phone. But if you're a Verizon user (or willing to switch) and you don't mind a bit of fine print, this is one of the best compelling phone deals on the web today.

Motorola's Razr 2026 lineup has only been out for a few weeks, but it didn't take long for retailers and wireless carriers alike to drop some exceptional deals on the innovative foldables. The Motorola Razr (2026), for instance, was already the most approachable device of the bunch, but you can get the flip phone for FREE when you add a line with an Experience or Better Value plan at T-Mobile. 

✅Recommended if: you're a T-Mobile customer who needs to add a line to your service account, but you don't want to pay for the most expensive data plans; you're interested in trying one of Motorola's new flip phones but you want to save some money at the same time.

❌Skip this deal if: you're not a T-Mobile customer and you're not willing to switch; you prefer the simplicity of unlocked phones; you can afford the Motorola Razr Plus or Razr Ultra (2026).

Just like its predecessor, the 2026 Motorola Razr remains the perfect entry-level flip phone for most people. Straight out of the box, you get two gorgeous AMOLED displays with a durable folding hinge, while under the hood you get the power of an upgraded MediaTek Dimensity 7450X chipset and a larger battery capacity than the 2025 phone. The clamshell device is also equipped with a new 50MP ultrawide lens and some new Android 16 features that are simply a blast to use.

So what's the catch? Well, the base model is a bit chunkier and less powerful than the 2026 Razr Plus and Razr Ultra, so it's worth looking around a bit to see if you can find a good deal on those more-expensive phones before you commit. 

It's also worth mentioning that last year's Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) is a better phone than the standard Razr (2026) in just about every way imaginable, and that device gets discounted pretty heavily on a regular basis. With Prime Day just around the corner, it'd be understandable if you wanted to wait and see if the last-gen phone will get a straight discount worth considering.

Don't get me wrong: the Motorola Razr (2026) a versatile, budget-friendly flip phone that should satisfy foldable enthusiasts and newcomers alike, but I'd only take advantage of this deal if you're a new T-Mobile customer or looking to switch. For everyone else, there are plenty of other Motorola Razr deals to explore.

The current RAM crisis isn't going away any time soon, but if you're looking for a deal on a portable storage device today, you're in luck. At this very moment, Amazon is carving 13% off the 1TB T9 SSD by Samsung, knocking the price down to $249.99 for a limited time. That amounts to around $0.25 per gig!

This compact SSD comes with 1TB of storage capacity, lightning-fast transfer speeds, and an advanced thermal cooling system that eliminates any risk of overheating with heavy use. Sure, that $250 price point is still more expensive than the SSD was a year ago, but given the price gouging we've been seeing on storage devices lately, any discount is worth celebrating.

In addition to 1TB of storage capacity, the T9 solid-state drive (SSD) by Samsung delivers transfer speeds of up to 2,000MB/s, AES 256-bit hardware encryption, and a durable build that can withstand drops from up to 9.8 feet in height. Oh, and did I mention that it fits in the palm of your hand?

If you need even more storage, it's also worth mentioning that the 2TB and 4TB configurations of the device are also 17% off and 30% off, respectively, so you can take your pick.

Sure, if you need a comprehensive storage solution that shares across multiple devices, a NAS server might be a better fit, but if you need a portable device that you can take with your wherever you go, the T9 by Samsung is one of the best options around.

With Prime Day 2026 just around the corner, this Amazon discount might suggest that more storage deals are on the way. Will the T9 SSD get even cheaper when Amazon's big sale formally goes live later this month? Only time will tell, but I certainly wouldn't blame you for jumping on the current deal while it's active.

Prime Day 2026 is likely just weeks away, but you don't need to wait to score an incredible Garmin watch deal at Amazon. For a (very) limited time, the retailer is slashing a whopping 50% off the Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2), a last-gen smartwatch that still impresses with rugged durability and premium specs. 

Garmin watches are famous for their health and fitness tracking capabilities, but deals on the rugged wearables can be few and far between. Considering that the epix Pro Gen 2 generally retails for around $999.99, this $500 price drop should turn a lot of heads as we drift into the month of June. The discount certainly won't last forever, so act fast if you're interested!

The powerful Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) just landed a 50% discount at Amazon

Straight out of the box, the rugged fitness watch boasts a brilliant 1.3-inch AMOLED display with a scratch-resistance lens and titanium bezel, while under the hood you get a bounty of health and fitness tracking features powered by Garmin. This includes the latest Elevate v5 sensors for ultra-accurate HR and ECG readings, plus endurance score, Garmin coach, and a ton of pre-installed activity modes.

The epix Pro (Gen 2) also comes with multi-band GPS tracking, a built-in LED flashlight, and up to 16 days of battery life on a single charge. Garmin's epix series may technically be obsolete now that the Fenix 8 has come along, but if you don't want to shell out 1,000 bucks for a smartwatch, this Amazon deal is a great way to get the premium Garmin experience without paying the premium Garmin price.

This is the first time that the Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) has dropped to $499.99 since last year, so if you need a new watch ASAP, I wouldn't wait too long to make your move. That being said, Prime Day is likely just around the corner, so if you miss this deal, you can always wait for Amazon's big summer sale to go live. 

The Motorola Razr Fold was officially released on May 21st, but you may have noticed that actually buying the foldable phone was a little more challenging than usual. Indeed, deals on the innovative device have been few and far between since launch, so I've done the work of tracking down the best offers so you don't have to go looking.

The new Motorola Razr Fold sports a durable folding hinge with an ultra-lightweight design that should give Samsung a run for its money, plus you get two stunning AMOLED displays and superior protection from the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 construction.

The foldable phone is also powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and features an enormous 6,000mAh battery that belies its thin build, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage as standard. The best part is that the phone starts at $1,899 before any deals are applied, which makes it $100 cheaper than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. Whether you want a trade-in discount on the unlocked phone or a FREE device from T-Mobile, keep reading for the best Motorola Razr Fold deals on the web (so far).

Motorola Razr Fold deals

Didn't find anything today? Check back later to see what's new: more Motorola Razr Fold deals are sure to go live in the coming weeks.

Motorola's first book-style foldable phone has finally hit the streets, but most folks will have a tough time affording the Razr Fold without a good deal. Fortunately, T-Mobile has you covered with an offer that will get you the innovative smartphone for FREE when you add a line with the Experience Beyond plan. No trade-in is required, and both new and existing T-Mo customers are eligible. Enough said. 

Although the Motorola Razr Fold was officially released on May 21st, few retailers carried the phone at launch and even fewer were offering it at a reasonable price. By giving away the Razr Fold for free, T-Mobile is clearly trying to be the one and only spot where folks should seriously consider ordering the foldable phone today.

• See the full list of deals at T-Mobile.com

We've been waiting a long time for Motorola to release its book-style smartphone, and the Razr Fold doesn't disappoint. Straight out of the box, you get an ultra-thin, lightweight device with two glorious pOLED displays and a durable folding hinge that should make Samsung nervous. 

The foldable is also equipped with a huge 6,000mAh display (a shocker given its thin build), the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, and 16GB of RAM for unstoppable performance.

Motorola still lags a bit behind the competition when it comes to AI features and first-party accessories, but the OEM has clearly proven that Samsung and Google aren't the only companies that can produce outstanding foldable phones for the masses. 

Just like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, however, the main sticking point with the Razr Fold is going to be its steep $1,700 price tag. Fortunately, there are T-Mobile deals like this to lessen the blow. Unless you plan to grab the phone unlocked during the upcoming summer sale season, this is the only Motorola Razr Fold deal that you should be considering right now.

Interested in trying one of Motorola's latest Razr flip phones? Check out my guide to the best Motorola Razr (2026) deals of the month, where I share all of the best offers on the base model Razr, the Razr Plus, and the premium Motorola Razr Ultra.

Father's Day is June 21st this year, but if you're having trouble choosing the right tech gift for dad, you're in luck: Samsung has launched a sitewide sale event with mega discounts on some of its most popular devices, from smartphones and tablets to feature-rich wearables. 

I'm talking about deals like $720 of potential savings when you buy the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, or this offer that lands you up to $250 off the super-powered Galaxy Watch Ultra. As usual with Samsung, trading in an old or broken device is the best way to maximize your savings, although there are a few no-strings discounts available as well. 

A few of the offers may even come with a free $100 credit if you've shopped at Samsung before. Keep reading for all of my favorite deals from Samsung's big Father's Day sale, and don't forget to check the company's full list of offers to make sure you don't miss anything!

With all of the new MVNO carriers cropping up across the web, finding a cheap wireless plan is now easier than ever before. Of course, the ubiquity of these affordable providers doesn't mean that I can't be surprised by a new offer from time to time.

Case in point: the hybrid MVNO Boost Mobile has launched a new deal that gets you three months of its Unlimited plan for only $10 per month.

This MVNO deal is remarkable for its simplicity. All you need to do is be a new customer and the Boost Mobile savings are yours, no confusing contract or fine print to worry about. You can even bring your own device if you don't want to buy something new. Once the three-month promotional period is over, you'll get to enjoy Boost Mobile's Unlimited plan for only $25 per month. That's all there is to it!

Score three months of Unlimited for only $10 per month at Boost Mobile

Usually priced at $25 per month with AutoPay, the hybrid MVNO Boost Mobile's Unlimited plan gives you unlimited talk, text, and data with no contract whatsoever, plus you'll get a whopping 30GB of premium data. After the promotional period is up, your phone bill will be locked in at $25 per month for life, so you don't have to worry about Boost raising prices on you. The affordable mobile provider is also compatible with nearly all of the best Android phones on the market (you can even bring your own).

Sure, going with a prepaid carrier generally comes with some sacrifices, but if you're worried about missing out on premium perks, you're in luck. Boost Mobile offers an add-on system that lets you mix and match additional plan features for as little as $3 per month. These add-ons include stuff like mobile hotspot data, international benefits, and even a cloud-based mobile game library.

Still on the fence? Boost Mobile also offers a 30-day money back guarantee, so you can try out the service for a month to see if you like it. Most MVNO carriers are known for their approachability, but Boost Mobile's latest deal takes that concept to a whole new level. There's no catch or contract, just good old-fashioned savings from a reliable provider.

The latest rumors have suggested that Prime Day 2026 will occur some time in late June, but if you don't want to wait, I just uncovered a Sony headphones deal that might make Amazon's big sale completely unnecessary. 

The Sony WH-1000XM6, our top pick for the best wireless headphones that money can buy, just scored a 13% discount at Amazon, knocking the cans back to their lowest price ever recorded. 

Will the premium headphones get even cheaper once the Prime Day sale begins in earnest? It's hard to say, but I wouldn't blame you for jumping on the current Sony deal while it's active.

• See the full list of top deals at Amazon today

✅Recommended if: you want to experience some of the best wireless headphones ever built, with loads of customizable EQ settings, cutting-edge active noise cancellation, and incredible sound quality. 

❌Skip this deal if: you're looking for a cheap pair of headphones or something suitable for working out; you'd rather wait and see what Prime Day 2026 has in store next month. 

Just like their predecessors, Sony's flagship WH-1000XM6 headphones pack the latest in noise-cancelling technology into a sleek, comfortable design that you can wear all day. 

The headphones are equipped with some ultra-clean 30mm drivers and 12 built-in microphones, while Sony's companion app ensures that you can fine-tune your audio experience to your own specific tastes. The headphones also deliver up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge, plus you get lightning-fast charging capabilities (via USB-C) that will give you up to three hours of listening in as little as three minutes of charging.

Of course, even with this 13% Amazon discount, the Sony WH-1000XM6 aren't exactly cheap. If you're not a stickler for sound quality or fancy noise cancellation, you can get a nearly-as-good experience by going with cheaper headphones from manufacturers like Bose or Beats by Dre. Other folks may want to wait and see what Sony headphones deals go live during Prime Day 2026, which is (allegedly) set to kick off next month. But if you want a pair of premium headphones at a great price today, you can't go wrong with this deal from Amazon. 

The new Motorola Razr Ultra 2026 is an excellent phone with one big problem: its price. With its retail tag of $1,499.99, the clamshell device is simply out of reach for many folks, which has led some to consider the last-gen Razr Ultra as a viable alternative.

Last year's Ultra is just as good as the 2026 phone in many ways, after all, and thanks to a new deal from Amazon, you can get the unlocked Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) for as little as $699.99 today. That's a full $800 cheaper than the 2026 Razr Ultra, which makes going last-gen seem like a no-brainer for as long as this deal is active. How do the two phones compare, and what are you sacrificing by going with the 2025 Razr Ultra? Let's break it down.

Skip the 2026 Motorola Razr Ultra — last year's model is $800 cheaper at Amazon today 

✅Recommended if: you want a powerful clamshell smartphone and you don't mind going last-gen; you prefer the simplicity of buying phones unlocked.

❌Skip this deal if: you want the latest in flip phone technology, and you don't mind paying for it; you want to wait and see if the Motorola Razr Ultra (2026) gets discounted this summer.

Before I start comparing the two phones, it's worth judging the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) on its own merits. As far as overall bang for the buck is concerned, you can't really do much better than last year's Ultra. The clamshell device still impresses with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 16GB of RAM, plus you get a titanium reinforced hinge, all-day battery life, and 512GB of battery life straight out of the box.

The 2026 version of the Razr Ultra upgrades the battery life and camera tech, but that's pretty much it. There's no new chip, the displays are largely identical, and you don't get any added software support. They're both great phones, to be sure, but unless you're an avid Motorola enthusiast or money isn't an object, there's really no reason to go with the 2026 model over last year's version.

That said, there is one more thing to consider. The fact that Motorola increased the price of the Ultra by $200 likely isn't sitting well with consumers, so I wouldn't be surprised if the company decided to discount the phone (and the rest of the 2026 Razr lineup, for that matter) during the upcoming summer sale season. Prime Day 2026 is just around the corner, after all, and you never know what Amazon discounts lay ahead.

Motorola's latest lineup of foldable phones has finally arrived, and while we haven't seen too many Razr (2026) deals just yet, there's one offer that deserves your immediate attention. 

For a limited time, AT&T will give you the new Motorola Razr Plus 2026 for only $4.43 per month when you join the carrier and add a line with an unlimited plan. No trade-in required!

Only new customers are eligible and you'll have to use an installment plan to be eligible, but if you're interested in trying one of the world's best flip phones for as little cash as possible, this Motorola Razr promotion is worth the small amount of fine print.

Get the 'best flip phone for the price' for less than $5 per month at AT&T

Usually priced at $1,099.99 for the 256GB configuration, the brand new Motorola Razr Plus (2026) is compact and versatile, with two gorgeous pOLED displays, a titanium hinge, and 12GB of RAM straight out of the box. 

The flip phone is also powered by the efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, plus you get an upgraded battery, some new camera tech, and five years of software updates guaranteed. 

Technical specifications aside, the Motorola Razr Plus (2026) simply feels good to use. It has the same dimensions as its predecessor — which means Razr Plus 2025 cases will fit — and the feature-rich software means you will continue discovering new useful tricks on the phone for many months to come.

Of course, nothing's perfect, so what's the catch? Well, the 2026 Razr Plus isn't a dramatic improvement over its predecessor (it even uses the same CPU), so there's no need to rush to AT&T's website if you're still happy using your Razr Plus (2025). It's also worth mentioning again that this AT&T deal is only available to new customers, and you'll still have to pay the $35 activation fee before you can receive the new phone.

All in all, AT&T's deal is a great opportunity if you're looking for a new wireless plan and a new flip phone in one fell swoop. If you can afford to spend a little more and the need isn't urgent, however, it may be worth waiting a bit to see what other Motorola deals are on the horizon.

The Motorola Razr (2026) is finally here and, despite a small price hike, it's still the most budget-friendly foldable phone on the market. That said, if you want to experience the latest in flip phone technology without shelling out 800 bucks, you're in luck. 

For a limited time, Verizon will give you the 2026 Razr for 100% free when you add a line with the Unlimited Welcome, Unlimited Plus, OR Unlimited Ultimate plan on its website. No trade-in required!

As if the free Motorola Razr (2026) wasn't enough on its own, Verizon will also hook you up with a $100 gift card, just for kicks. That voucher can be used to buy additional devices, accessories (such as Motorola Razr 2026 cases), or even pay down your wireless bill. Considering that the Motorola Razr 2026 lineup just hit store shelves last week, it's a mighty impressive offer from a legendary wireless provider.

The new Motorola Razr 2026 is already FREE with this Verizon deal

Now priced at $799.99 for the 128GB configuration, the Motorola Razr (2026) still ranks among the best flip phones ever built. The clamshell device boasts two stunning Extreme AMOLED displays with up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness, plus you get a titanium-reinforced hinge, an increase in battery size, and an upgraded 50MP ultrawide lens that's an absolute pleasure to play with. 

The 2026 Razr also comes equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X chip that performed like a champ in the majority of our benchmark tests, and while it doesn't match the power of the Snapdragon chipsets found in this year's Motorola Razr Plus or Razr Ultra, it's a capable processor for the price. 

So what's the catch? Well, the Motorola Razr (2026) isn't a massive upgrade over its predecessor, so if you're already the owner of the 2025 Razr, you might as well wait to grab the new phone. The 2026 model also falls well behind its premium Plus and Ultra siblings, so it's worth checking out the latest Motorola Razr (2026) series deals before you commit to the base model.

With that being said, if you're a Verizon customer in the market for a new flip phone, the Motorola Razr (2026) shouldn't disappoint. The free $100 gift card and $800 of promo credit is just the icing on top. 

The Motorola Razr 2026 lineup has finally arrived, but deals on the phones have been slow in coming. Fortunately, that's all beginning to change, and I've dropped a selection of my favorite offers on the foldable phones below.

Whether you want the approachable Motorola Razr, the balanced Motorola Razr Plus, or the supremely powerful Motorola Razr Ultra, you'll find everything you need to know about buying the innovative flip phones in this guide. Didn't find anything today? Check back later: we're sure to see even more deals go live in the coming weeks. After all, Prime Day 2026 is just around the corner.

FAQ

When does the Motorola Razr 2026 come out?

All four phones included in the 2026 Motorola Razr lineup — which consists of the Motorola Razr, Razr Plus, Razr Ultra, and new Motorola Razr Fold — officially hit store shelves on May 21st.

What phones are included in the Motorola Razr 2026 series?

The 2026 Motorola Razr family includes the base model Razr, the Razr Plus, the Razr Ultra, and the book-style Motorola Razr Fold.

The smallest device in the series, the base model Motorola Razr (2026) starts at $799 and boasts two vibrant Extreme AMOLED displays, a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X, and 8GB of RAM.

Priced at $1,099, the Motorola Razr Plus (2026) gets two Extreme AMOLED displays, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and a hefty boost in battery life compared to the 2025 version.

The Motorola Razr Ultra (2026) unfortunately got a price hike this year and now retails for $1,499 unlocked. Fortunately, there are plenty of quality specs to make up for the increase, such as two Extreme AMOLED displays, the ultra-powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of onboard storage as standard.

Compared to their predecessors, all three clamshell Razr phones get upgraded battery life, a batch of fresh camera features, and improved hinges with new Gorilla Glass cover displays for added durability.

I already own a 2025 Razr. Should I upgrade to the Motorola Razr 2026?

This is always a bit of a tricky question whenever a new device is unveiled, and we actually covered this particularly issue at length just a few weeks ago. On the one hand, the Razr 2026 lineup does feature a few significant design, battery, and hardware upgrades, and foldable phone enthusiasts will be forgiven for jumping at the chance to order these cutting-edge devices as soon as they hit store shelves next month.

That being said, Motorola clearly took the path of "if it's not broke, don't fix it", with the 2026 Razr series, delivering upgrades that are more focused on refinement rather than transformation. In other words, if you're happy with your Motorola Razr (2025), there's really no reason to ditch it ASAP.

Motorola phone deals have landed just in time for the holiday weekend, and this one's perfect for anyone who likes to have a cheap phone with a stylus. This year, Best Buy's Memorial Day Sale has cut $210 off the price of the 2024 Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G, representing over half off and bringing it down to just $190.

Despite being a 2024 release, this Moto G Stylus features a really pretty display, a powerful suite of cameras, and impressive performance, especially given the price point.

Much like the 2025 model, the 2024 Moto G Stylus 5G has a beautiful vegan leather back panel and a long-lasting battery life. Upgrades to the newer model include a slightly brighter display, improved fast charging speeds, and a higher-resolution selfie camera that users like. If those aren't a big deal to you, however, it's definitely worth catching sales like this on the 2024 model, as it still has many of the Motorola lineup's best features.

✅Recommended if: you're looking for a phone with a beautiful display panel and an included stylus; you like Motorola's vegan leather anti-slip backing and the overall design of the Moto G Stylus 2024; you like having a phone with powerful rear-facing cameras and a long-lasting battery.

❌Skip this deal if: you prefer a newer-generation phone and you'd rather upgrade to one of the best Motorola stylus phones on the market; you don't need a phone with a stylus and you'd prefer to look at some other models around this discount price; having a guarantee of multiple OS upgrades is a major priority to you when buying phones.

The 2024 Moto G Stylus 5G is a cheaper phone with a stylus than many of the premium-level and current-gen Samsung devices. It comes with a 6.7-inch, 120Hz OLED display that's a delight to use, a speedy Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and decent cameras despite being a generation old. It also sports wireless charging capabilities, up to 30 hours of battery life, and up to 30W fast charging.

Again, it's a pretty good pick for just $190, especially for casual users who just want a good user experience and a stylus.

This year's Memorial Day Weekend tablet deals are live, and this one's a great pick for those who need a tablet with a stylus. Right now, Amazon is offering $200 off the price of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, representing a 20% discount and bringing it down to just $800.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is our pick for the overall best Samsung tablet on the market, especially for those who are in search of a stylus-tablet bundle. It features a good-looking, high-quality touchscreen display, a solid battery life, added AI features, and the option for cellular connectivity, in case that's something you're looking for.

To be sure, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 lineup is now available, but we still love the S10 Plus, especially because it strikes a nice middle ground at the premium level, and Samsung opted for just an S11 and S11 Ultra for the newer-gen versions.

This particular deal is for the 256GB version of the S10 Plus, though you can also upgrade to the 512GB configuration for an extra few hundred dollars. Unfortunately, that configuration is not on sale, so the better deal is probably going to be with the 256GB.

✅Recommended if: you want a powerful tablet with a high-resolution display and an included first-party stylus for note-taking and drawing; you're looking for a tablet that features a high-res, quick refresh rate screen, and you want the utmost compatibility with other Samsung and Android devices; you'd prefer a tablet with true flagship-level performance speeds that will make it easy to utilize high-powered tasks.

❌Skip this deal if: you want a newer-generation tablet from Samsung rather than going with something from the S10 lineup; you'd rather forego the stylus and high-powered processing for something with a price tag under $800; you prefer a larger display to a smaller one and you'd consider upgrading to Samsung's Ultra options.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is a solid tablet despite being last-gen, especially due to its inclusion of the Samsung S Pen, its 12.4-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and its powerful performance backed by a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Plus CPU and 12GB of RAM.

At just $800 instead of $1,000, this tablet is still a great pick, even with the release of Samsung's newer lineup of models.

Best Buy's Memorial Day Weekend Sale is here, and it's a great time to pick up Chromebook deals for those in the market. For instance, the retailer has chopped $350 off the price of our favorite Chromebook, the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14.

We love this laptop for its high-powered performance, its good-looking touchscreen OLED display, long-lasting battery, and its lightweight, portable build. Crucially, this Chromebook has an upgraded processor compared to other devices, making it super quick and truly worthy of the premium label.

It also features a wide range of advanced features like Text Capture, Select to Search with Lens, and other Gemini AI tools. Another major benefit here is that the Chromebook can get up to 17 hours of battery life per charge, and Lenovo says Rapid Charge will yield up to 80% power in just an hour of charging.

All in all, this is a good price for this laptop and if you're already a fan of Chrome OS, it might be a deal worth considering.

✅Recommended if: you're in the market for the best Chromebook on the market, but you don't want to pay the full $1,000 price tag for it; you want a laptop with a bright, vibrant OLED display of around 14 inches; you prefer a laptop with a thin, lightweight build that's easy to take with you wherever you go.

❌Skip this deal if: you need something with wide-ranging connectivity options and would rather go with something that has more ports or has a better refresh rate than 60Hz; you'd prefer something more affordable and you don't need all the bells and whistles or top-notch processing power; you're sensitive about your trackpads and you'd rather go with a device with Apple's Magic Trackpad.

The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 has a 14-inch, OLED touchscreen display with a 60Hz refresh rate. With the addition of the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra Series and 16GB of RAM, it boasts the smoothest, speediest performance out of the entire Chromebook lineup, while still managing to achieve 17 hours of battery life.

Arguably the biggest downside is that it only has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, but if that isn't a dealbreaker, then this is a pretty good price point.

Headphone deals are arriving just in time for summer, and those in the market for new over-ears may want to consider this next entry. Best Buy's Memorial Day sale is ongoing, and it includes a $150 discount on the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, which are the last-gen version of our favorite headphones overall.

While there were some improvements made to the Sony WH-1000XM6 model, the WH-1000XM5s are still a great pair, and they'll definitely save you some extra money. They offer a high-quality audio profile, active noise cancellation, clear call quality, and a long-lasting battery. The headband and speaker cups offer a comfortable, adjustable fit that makes them perfect even for longer listening periods.

This deal is available for all four of the model's colors, including Black, Blue, Silver, and Smoky Pink.

✅Recommended if: you're looking for a pair of headphones with a powerful, high-quality sound profile, as well as ANC, app customization, and more; you want to go with the best wireless Android headphones but would rather save a little extra money going last generation; battery life is important to you when it comes to buying wireless headphones.

❌Skip this deal if: you specifically need a pair of headphones with support for the aptX codec; you'd rather go with a cheaper device, even if it means compromising a little on audio quality; you're looking for a highly durable pair of headphones.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are a solid pair of wireless headphones, boasting up to 30 hours of battery life with ANC turned on, or up to 45 hours without. Purchase comes with a useful travel case and a USB charging cable that Sony says will deliver up to three hours of listening time with a three-minute charge.

You can also customize the audio using the Sony mobile app, offering preset audio profiles or the ability to EQ them yourself. Additionally, they've got multi-point connection, Speak to Chat, and an enhanced Precise Voice Pickup technology for crisp, clear phone calls.

All in all, this is a good price point if you were thinking about picking up some new headphones, and it should remain active through the holiday weekend.

Memorial Day smartwatch deals are already here, days ahead of the official holiday. For example, Best Buy's Memorial Day sale has launched a $50 discount on the 40mm version of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7.

To be sure, the Watch 7 was launched in 2024 and doesn't quite bear as many features as the newer Watch 8, though it also doesn't lag far behind. It sports a powerful enough processor for quick, responsive use, along with a new and improved heart rate sensor, double pinch gesture, energy score, and more. It's also a great pick for anyone who likes a minimal, modern overall design, and the onboard Wear OS platform is nothing short of a pleasure to use.

Beyond that, it also comes with a wide range of AI features, health metrics, and gestures that users like, while also being generally comfortable to wear for all-day use and exercise.

This isn't the lowest price we've seen on this watch, but if you're in the market now and don't want to wait for the next sale, it's not a bad price to pick this watch up at.

✅Recommended if: you're looking for medium-sized smartwatch that's both comfortable and highly capable of accurate health and GPS tracking, onboard storage, fitness programs, and more; you have a Galaxy phone or other Samsung devices and you want a watch that'll make it easy to maximize compatibility.

❌Skip this deal if: you'd prefer to go with the newer-generation Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and you don't feel the need to wait for a discount; you want a more traditional watch design than the sporty look of most of the Galaxy lineup, and you'd rather consider going with a Galaxy Watch Classic model; you prefer an extremely thin "fitness band" style watch than a full-sized smartwatch.

The Watch 8 may be the best Android smartwatch out there, but the Watch 7 is admittedly pretty similar to the newer-gen model in most regards. It comes with a super-accurate dual-band GPS, a wide range of health and fitness programs, heart rate and sleep monitoring, and a bright, 1.3-inch Super AMOLED display.

At 20% off, it's honestly not a bad pick for anyone willing to go with a last-gen option.

Today's smartwatch deals can offer some pretty sizable discounts, which can be especially helpful for those expensive, feature-packed premium devices. One such example includes the fact that Best Buy has cut $250 off the price of the Garmin Fenix 8 as a part of its Memorial Day sale, bringing this pricey watch down to just $750.

The Fenix 8 tends to be a little beyond the budget of most, though it's also packed with useful lifestyle and training tools that became well-known from the Venu 3 and Forerunner 965 models, respectively. It also sports a powerful, long-lasting battery like the Instinct 2X, as well as a built-in flashlight.

Fortunately, Garmin has addressed the vast majority of the bugs that were present upon launch, making it a much more usable and likeable device. While it is a little on the expensive side when comparing it with the needs of most users, it's an especially compelling option with this discount bringing it more in line with what some may be expecting to spend.

✅Recommended if: you're looking for the best Garmin watch for premium-level spenders, and you want all the bells and whistles possible in today's smartwatch market; you like having a smartwatch with a wide range of fitness, lifestyle, sleep, and heart rate monitoring features, and you don't mind spending a pretty penny making it happen; you need something with a long-lasting battery, even when using multi-band GPS.

❌Skip this deal if: you'd rather upgrade to the solar version of the watch, and you don't care about getting this discount; you'd prefer to go with a more traditional smartwatch, or one that features an extremely user-friendly interface; you don't want to spend $750 and you'd rather save by going with a cheaper option that skips on some of the more advanced features.

If you have the budget for it, the Garmin Fenix 8 is the Garmin Fenix 8 has many of the top features from across the brand's lineup, easily making it Garmin's best smartwatch. As such, it boasts a hefty price tag, but don't let that stop you from getting it at a discount like this one.

The Fenix 8 includes multi-band GPS, a battery life of up to 16 days or seven with the always-on display, and a wide range of sensors and health monitoring features that users have come to love. The watch is a little bit on the complicated side of user interfaces, though that's to be expected with any wearable that's entirely packed to the brim with features.

As many Samsung phone deals start to arrive ahead of Memorial Day, this next entry is a great premium option that quickly caught our eye. For a limited time, Amazon is selling the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus for 30% off, bringing the price down to just $700.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus is a solid phone with a relatively large display, an excellent suite of cameras, and fast performance backed by a Snapdragon chipset and the swift One UI 7. It's perfect for those who prefer a slightly larger phone, and those who need a device with high-powered processing for gaming or other power-intensive tasks. It also has a long-lasting battery with fast charging and wireless charging, and a broad range of AI features that users really like.

This particular deal is for the mid-range storage option that comes with 256GB of storage, and for the version of the phone in Navy. At the time of writing, the Silver Shadow color has just a small discount, while other colorways aren't on sale at the moment.

✅Recommended if: you're looking for a phone with a relatively large screen, a long-lasting battery, and powerful performance for tasks such as gaming and video editing; you like having a phone with a wide range of AI features; you want a phone that has a user-friendly interface

❌Skip this deal if: you'd rather go with an even larger phone, or would consider another model from our best Android phones index; you'd prefer to go with a phone that includes substantial upgrades from previous generations; you want something with MagSafe charging built in.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus is a capable premium-level phone with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display sporting a 120Hz refresh rate, 45W charging, and all-day battery life. Performance is backed by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy and 12GB of RAM, and the speedy performance is complemented by the user-friendly One UI 7.

As for cameras, it comes with a 50MP wide-angle lens, a 12MP ultrawide, a 10MP telephoto, and a 12MP front-facing, wide hole punch camera. All in all, it's a pretty good deal at $300 off, especially given that it normally retails at $1,000.

Many of the best cheap Chromebook options arrive during sales events, and this one is no different. For a limited time as a part of its Memorial Day weekend sale, Best Buy is offering this 14-inch HP Chromebook for $220 off, or just $180 total.

The HP Chromebook N4500 may have originally been a 2021 release, but the user-friendly Chrome OS platform makes it hold up even today. Add in the balanced size and overall portability, and a decent 14-inch display, and you've got yourself a well-valued laptop.

To be sure, this laptop isn't anything too terribly special, but nor should one expect a premium device at a $180 price. Still, if your main uses are for a laptop are streaming movies and shows using the web browser, other internet surfing needs, or basic word processing and spreadsheet needs, this might be a good time to pick up this budget-friendly laptop.

✅Recommended if: you want a cheap laptop that won't compromise on utility, and you're looking for a device with a roughly-14-inch display; you don't need a lot of onboard storage and you primarily plan to use your laptop for tasks that don't require a lot of file space or performance speed; you've liked devices with Chrome OS and other Google platforms in the past.

❌Skip this deal if: you're in the market for the best Chromebooks out there today, and you have enough money to upgrade to something more powerful; you prefer a laptop with a larger or smaller display, or something with an even more minimal design; you want something that can tackle high-level tasks such as video and audio editing, or you prefer industry-leading performance speeds.

The HP Chromebook N4500 is a basic laptop with a 14-inch screen, 64GB of storage, and the well-liked Chrome OS. Users like this laptop for its long-lasting battery and Google Chrome operating system, along with its price tag (which often scores even bigger discounts, like this one).

HP says the laptop will get up to 10 hours of battery per charge, while it estimates that charging from empty to 50% will take around 45 minutes total.

All in all, this price point is hard to argue with, and those who want something affordable yet useful might want to think about if $180 is around their budget.

Finding cheap headphones that won't compromise on modern features can be tricky, but you can usually find regular price drops if you know what models you're looking for. For example, Amazon has launched a limited-time discount of 43% off on the Anker Soundcore Q20i headphones, bringing their price down to just $40.

The Q20i headphones go on sale somewhat regularly, which makes them a nice pick for anyone with a budget around this price point.

While buyers shouldn't expect them to offer premium-level audio quality, they do still feature active noise cancellation, compatibility with high-res audio codecs, mobile app customization, and a long-lasting battery. Notably, there aren't a lot of other headphones around this price point with so many of today's most utilized features, making these a standout pick for those with a small headphone budget.

This particular deal is available for two out of four of the headphones' basic colorways, including Black and Almond White. If you were hoping for something a little bit more expressive, you can spend an extra $5 to go with the Navy and Pink options instead.

✅Recommended if: you need a budget-friendly pair of wireless headphones that also come with ANC and mobile app EQ customization; battery life is important to you when it comes to buying headphones, and you want something that can easily make it through a full day's worth of listening; you prefer headphones with physical buttons to those that use touch gestures.

❌Skip this deal if: you're in the market for the best wireless headphones available, and you don't mind spending a little more for certain upgrades; you're looking for wireless headphones that also come with true spatial audio; you prefer a smaller pair of over-ear headphones to those with large, immersive speaker cups.

The Anker Soundcore Q20i wireless headphones are a great pick for anyone on a budget, and they've dropped to this price point quite a few times in the past.

We like them for their up to 40 hours of playback time per charge when using ANC, or up to 60 hours with the mode toggled off. They also feature fast-charging for an extra four hours of listening per five-minute charge.

In addition to Bluetooth connectivity, buyers can access the benefits of higher-res codec listening with the use of a headphone cable, while they also sport EQ customization via the Soundcore mobile app, along with 22 audio presets.

You can find more TV deals than ever before in today's market, but getting over $1,000 off on something truly premium is a little less common. Fortunately, a week ahead of Memorial Day Weekend sales, Best Buy has chopped $1,300 off the price of this pricey Samsung Class S90F OLED TV, bringing it down to $2,200.

While this particular deal is for the 77-inch version of the TV, you can also save on some of the model's smaller sizes, such as the 42-inch, which is $200 off. This also means there are some options across the price and sizing spectrum, in case you'd rather spend less overall and don't need the extra-large display.

✅Recommended if: you're in need of a large, highly-powerful smart TV with premium-level picture quality, and you were holding out for a deal so you don't have to spend a few thousand dollars; you want a TV with some of the latest AI enhancement features and extremely fast processing speeds; you want a TV with a bright backlight and vibrant colors, and you want something that also comes with picture upscaling and other useful enhancement features.

❌Skip this deal if: your budget is lower than this and you don't mind getting a smaller discount on a smaller TV; you'd rather go with one of our best Android TVs and you're not particularly concerned about savings; you'd prefer a different brand that's more compatible with your other devices, such as some of Sony's TVs, which tend to work really well with Google TV.

The Samsung Class S90F Series TV sports an OLED 4K display with SamsungVision AI features and the user-friendly Smart Tizen TV platform. It includes smart capabilities and voice commands through Amazon's Alexa, Bixby, and more.

The 77-inch TV also features a bright, vivid OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, motion enhancement, upscaling, and four HDMI ports among other connectivity options. Backed by the NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor for picture enhancement and general processing speeds, the Tizen TV offers quick performance and access to a wide range of free and streamed content.

Cheap earbuds don't always come with the top-tier features, which is why it's a smart move to keep an eye out for deals on higher-end models. Right now, for example, Amazon has slashed the price of the Beats Studio Buds Plus by 41%, though the retailer says the deal will only last a little bit longer.

The Beats Studio Buds Plus offered some key improvements upon previous generations, namely including better compatibility with Android devices, and an upgraded active noise cancellation profile. They also sport a long-lasting battery, high-quality calling, and an overall comfortable fit.

They also come at a cheaper normal price point than many premium-level earbuds, while still boasting a pretty powerful audio profile.

This particular deal is available for the buds in all three of the device's available color combos: Black and Gold, Ivory, and my personal favorite, Transparent.

✅Recommended if: you're looking for a powerful set of earbuds with high-quality audio, high-resolution listening, and a long-lasting battery, but you'd prefer to keep the budget around $100; you want a pair of earbuds that is comfortable and will effectively help mute your surroundings; you need a pair of earbuds with reliable, user-friendly button controls for playback and volume.

❌Skip this deal if: you'd rather upgrade to some of the best wireless earbuds on the market, and you have the budget to do so without scoring a big deal; you need earbuds with their own built-in EQ capabilities, rather than just using those on your device; you're looking for earbuds with wireless charging.

The Beats Studio Buds Plus are well-liked for a number of reasons, but especially for their high-quality audio profile, their powerful ANC mode, their long-lasting battery, and the cool colorway options that offer something unique for everybody.

Beats says these will offer users up to nine hours of battery life without ANC, or up to seven hours with the mode activated. The case offers users up to three charges when fully charged itself, while five-minute charging sessions will yield about an hour of playback.

To be sure, these don't include built-in EQ options, which is a feature that many prefer. However, given that most devices today have their own EQ options, this may not be such a dealbreaker for casual users.

Cheap Pixel phones come around every so often, especially if you can scope retailers out for some of their biggest price cuts. For example, Amazon is offering the Obsidian-colored Google Pixel 9 at a 44% discount right now, marking the phone's lowest price ever recorded. To be sure, the deal is for a limited time though, so it's best to act fast if you hope to catch this one.

The Google Pixel 9 has a well-liked compact form factor, a wide range of AI features, a powerful set of cameras, and speedy performance that makes it fun to use. It also came with a number of well-thought-out improvements from the previous generation, inching it towards a more "Pro" type experience.

This particular discount is for the Obsidian version of the phone, though Amazon is also offering a small discount on the Porcelain and Wintergreen versions. Still, don't expect to save quite as much on those color options.

While it isn't quite as powerful as Google's premium-level phones, the price cut makes it look pretty appealing, and you won't need a subscription to access some of the phone's most exciting features.

✅Recommended if: you're looking to save a good amount of money on what is otherwise essentially a solid flagship phone in a compact housing; you're looking for a phone with AI features such as voice transcription, content summaries, and image editing and generation; you want something that's going to walk the walk when it comes to performance speeds.

❌Skip this deal if: you need a phone with fast charging speeds; you'd prefer to go with a different color than the one featured in this discount; you need a phone with more camera capabilities, and preferably including things like a telephoto lens and Pro-level Pixel camera control.

The Google Pixel 9 is a powerful phone just below the Pro capabilities of the brand's premium options. Its performance speeds are backed by an upgraded Google Tensor G4 chipset, as well as 12GB of RAM for optimal multitasking capabilities. It sports a 6.3-inch Actua display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which many like for its slightly smaller overall size than Google's Pro phones.

While we didn't love that the base-level phone comes with only 128GB of storage, that's still plenty for most casual users. It also comes with a 50MP rear camera, a 48MP wide-angle lens, and a 10.5MP selfie lens with auto-focus and high-res recording.

All in all, this is a pretty solid pick if you're ready to pull the trigger on a Pixel phone upgrade.

Canvas art TV deals can be a little hard to come by, particularly because the lineup isn't as broad as those of traditional TVs. Still, weeks ahead of Memorial Day's official sales, Best Buy has cut $400 off the price of this Class S7 Series 55-inch Hisense Canvas TV, bringing it down to just $600.

What's most fun about Canvas TVs are their large free collection of art pieces that don't require users to have a membership or subscription. If you're a fan of having a nice ambient art display when you aren't actively watching TV, then this is a good time to score one.

The Class S7 Series also comes with a good-looking wooden frame that's fitting for an art piece. While this particular deal is for the 55-inch version, the retailer is also offering $452 off the price of the 65-inch model, if you can afford to up your budget a bit.

✅Recommended if: you prefer a TV with a more matte-like display that's easy on the eyes, and having free fine art screensavers is a plus for times when you aren't watching TV; you want a TV screen that ranges from 55 to 65 inches and can display photos and art when not in use; you like having a super slim, easy-to-mount TV.

❌Skip this deal if: you need a TV with a wide range of connectivity options, and you'd rather go with the brighter, more crisp AMOLED-style display than a matte-style Canvas TV; this price point is still out of your budget and you'd rather go with a more affordable option.

The Hisense Class S7 Series offers a relatively budget-friendly Frame TV option. While our list of the best Android smart TVs doesn't include any Canvas TV models, they're still a great pick for anyone who prefers a softer picture quality, a magnetic art-focused frame, and the user-friendly Google TV.

To be sure, it isn't the brightest 4K TV out there, but it's a solid pick if you're looking to display photos and a large collection of art pieces while not actively watching shows or movies.

May smart display deals are officially here, and this next entry is a great option for those in need of a speaker, display, and home control hub all in one. Amazon's Echo Show 11 just got a 23% price drop, marking $50 off the normal purchase price.

The Echo Show 11 includes an 11-inch, Full HD display, an improved spatial audio speaker, and an auto-framing selfie camera for all your video call needs. It's compatible with a wide range of smart home products using Alexa voice assistant, making it easy to control lights, doorbell cameras, thermostats, and still others. It also utilizes Omnisense technology, which intuitively helps create device routines using factors like presence, temperature, visual ID detection, and other smart features.

✅Recommended if: you're looking for an Alexa-backed smart display with a speaker, a selfie camera, and a relatively large screen; you want something that makes it easy to control a wide range of other smart home devices, including lightbulbs, thermostats, security cameras and more; you'd prefer a smart display with built-in microphone and camera toggle buttons for optimal privacy when not in use.

❌Skip this deal if: you'd prefer to go with a different-sized Echo Show model, and would rather go for the Echo Show 5, 8, 15, or 21; you'd rather upgrade to the larger sizes that come with the Fire TV OS built in; you don't want to have to watch streaming services other than Netflix and Prime Video using the browser.

The Amazon Echo Show 11 sports many of the needs of the modern smart home user, from controlling thermostats and doorbell cameras to lighting and more. As with all of the best Amazon Echo Show models, the Echo Show 11 comes with seamless compatibility across Alexa smart home devices, and Amazon also upgraded this generation's speaker to include twice as much bass as the 2023 Echo Show 8.

It's worth noting that this particular Echo Show doesn't come with the Fire TV platform built in, and streaming services beyond Prime Video and Netflix will need to be used through a browser. If you do prefer using those natively in-app, you'll want to upgrade to the Echo Show 15 or 21 models.

Still, it's not a bad pick as primarily a smart hub, and it strikes a nice balance in size for the kitchen countertop or elsewhere.

OnePlus deals don't come around very often, so even the smallest discounts on these eye-catching smartphones deserve a bit of attention. The OnePlus 15R, for example, is currently chilling with a $100 price drop at Amazon, knocking the price of the 512GB phone down to $699.99. 

That may not seem like a major discount, but it's actually the largest price drop that the unlocked device has ever received through the retailer. Is the phone worth it? How does it compare to the standard OnePlus 15? Let's discuss. 

• See the full list of top deals at Amazon today

✅Recommended if: you want a OnePlus device with a durable design, vibrant AMOLED display, and some of the best battery life ever packed into an Android phone.

❌Skip this deal if: you can afford the standard OnePlus 15; you want a phone with great cameras or impressive gaming performance; you can find a better deal on the OnePlus 13 or 13R. 

Just like the standard OnePlus 15, the OnePlus 15R has a bunch of premium specs that should turn heads, such as a powerful Snapdragon chipset, vibrant 6.8-inch AMOLED display, and IP68/IP69 water-and-dust resistance. The main selling point, however, is the phone's gargantuan 7,400mAh battery, an upgrade that should give the OnePlus 15R up to two days on a single charge. 

That being said, the OnePlus 15R is far from perfect. The cameras are pretty underwhelming and lack a telephoto lens, overheating can be a problem with graphics-intensive games, and if that wasn't frustrating enough, OnePlus decided to increase the price of the phone by $100. In other words, this Amazon deal is basically just offsetting a price hike. 

Still, the OnePlus 15R is a great device if you value long-lasting battery life and don't play a ton of Android games, but I would only pick it up if you can't afford the OnePlus 15. Starting at $899.99 for the 256GB version, this flagship is better than the 15R in every way aside from battery life, and while it doesn't get discounted very often, it's worth noting that Prime Day 2026 is just around the corner. The choice is yours.

The highly-anticipated Fitbit Air doesn't officially hit store shelves until May 25th, but you can already score the minimalist wearable for FREE with this preorder deal from the Google Store. Simply trade in an eligible smartwatch on the website and the Fitbit Air will be yours, no strings attached.

So what's the catch? Well, in order to get the free device, you'll need to trade in a premium smartwatch like the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra or a newer Apple Watch. Considering those wearables are way more powerful than the intentionally-simplistic Fitbit Air, it honestly doesn't make much sense to claim the full $100 trade-in discount just yet. 

Instead, the wise thing to do would be to trade in a cheaper smartwatch or fitness tracker for a lesser discount. Sending in the Fitbit Versa 3 will land you a $50 price drop, for instance, while band-style wearables like the Fitbit Charge 6 will give you $25 off your preorder. Pair that with a free $35 credit and you're looking at an impressive preorder deal on a fitness tracker that was already pretty cheap at launch. 

The first great Google Fitbit Air deal has arrived ahead of launch

I usually avoid hyperbole when writing about new tech, but it seems fair to say that the Google Fitbit Air might just be the future of fitness tracker technology. For starters, similar to the Whoop, the Google wearable doesn't have a screen. Unlike other manufacturers, who seem dedicated to packing AMOLED displays and expensive Gorilla Glass technology into every device they build, Google has taken the opposite approach, removing the screen altogether to deliver a fitness band that's sleek, minimalist, and most importantly, affordable.

Starting at just $99.99, all of the power of the Fitbit Air is invisible to the naked eye. The screenless fitness tracker offers 24/7 heart rate monitoring with SpO2 blood oxygen tracking, Sleep Score, a step counter, and more. Since the wearable lacks a display, you're getting passive data that you can check in the free Google Health App. This companion software works with both iOS and Android, and you can even pair the Fitbit Air with other smartwatches for added versatility. 

Sure, a screenless fitness tracker won't be for everyone, but if you want an affordable way to passively collect health and fitness data and you don't mind a low profile device, the Fitbit Air is going to be your new favorite device when it finally arrives on May 25th.
