This Samsung 65-Inch QLED TV Is $400 Off Right Now

9 January 2026 at 13:30

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

The 65-inch Samsung QN90F Neo QLED TV is currently $1,199.99 on Woot in "factory-reconditioned" condition. That undercuts a new unit, which sits around $1,600 on Amazon, and even slips below what some retailers ask for “like-new” stock. This deal runs for seven days or until it sells out. Shipping is free for Prime members, while everyone else pays a flat $6 fee. One thing to note before checkout: This item doesn’t ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or PO boxes, and you’ll need to provide a valid phone number and physical shipping address.

The QN90F isn’t a midrange panel dressed up with buzzwords. It’s Samsung’s current flagship mini-LED 4K TV, built to get extremely bright (over 2,500 nits) while still holding deep blacks and tight contrast. The screen uses Samsung’s glare-reducing coating, which won’t defeat direct sunlight but does take the edge off harsh overhead lighting. In daily use, the QN90F feels more polished than most LED TVs. The bezel-free design keeps attention on the screen, and the compact metal stand doesn’t dominate your media console. Around back, you get four HDMI ports, two USB ports, Ethernet, optical audio, and an antenna input, all tucked into a side-facing recess that keeps cables tidy. The included SolarCell Remote is refreshingly practical. It charges via USB-C or ambient light, so you’re not cycling through disposable batteries. Picture quality is where this TV earns its flagship status. Mini-LED backlighting delivers OLED-like blacks with minimal bloom, and colors stay balanced rather than oversaturated. That said, there’s no Dolby Vision support, which is still a sticking point for some buyers, but HDR10 and HDR10+ performance here is strong enough that many viewers won’t miss it.

This TV also leans hard into gaming and smart features. The panel runs at 120Hz natively and supports VRR up to 165Hz, along with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. Input lag stays under 10ms, which is well within “good for gaming” territory, according to PCMag’s “excellent” review of this smart TV. PC gamers can even use ultrawide 21:9 or 32:9 modes. Sound is better than average, too, thanks to a 60W 4.2.2-channel system with Dolby Atmos and support for Samsung’s Q-Symphony if you add a compatible soundbar. Tizen OS covers every major streaming service and supports Alexa, Apple AirPlay, and Matter smart-home control, though the interface still feels busy and occasionally buried under layers of menus. At this price, the reconditioned QN90F makes sense for buyers who want top-tier brightness and gaming performance without paying the full flagship price.

The Meta Quest Pro Is Over $300 Off Right Now

8 January 2026 at 14:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

The Meta Quest Pro launched as Meta’s vision of what high-end virtual and mixed reality could look like without dragging a gaming PC into the equation. At $679.99 on Woot, it’s now $320 off its original $999 price and still more than $100 cheaper than Amazon at the time of writing. This deal runs for six days or until it sells out, with free standard shipping for Prime members and a $6 fee for everyone else. This headset won PCMag’s Best VR Headset award in 2022, and while it’s no longer the newest thing Meta sells, it’s still positioned well above entry-level VR in both build and capability.

What you’re really paying for here is comfort and hardware that doesn’t feel compromised. The Quest Pro uses a balanced halo-style strap with the battery placed at the back, which spreads the weight more evenly than front-heavy headsets. That makes longer sessions more tolerable, though “long” is relative—the battery lasts around two hours, which can feel limiting if you’re deep into work or creative apps. Inside, you get a Snapdragon XR2+ chip, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, which is generous for a standalone headset. The displays push 1,920 by 1,800 pixels per eye, with better contrast and richer colors thanks to local dimming. In practice, this means sharper text, deeper blacks, and fewer washed-out scenes compared to older Quest models, especially in mixed-reality apps where clarity matters.

The controllers are another quiet upgrade. Meta removed the tracking rings and gave each controller its own cameras, so tracking doesn’t depend on where your headset is pointing. That pays off in tasks like 3D sculpting, painting, or precision-heavy productivity apps, where hand movement feels steadier and more predictable. Eye and face tracking also come built in, which lets avatars mirror your expressions in supported apps. It’s impressive, but not essential for everyone. One downside, according to this PCMag review, is immersion: The default open-style face interface lets in light from the sides, and full isolation requires an optional light blocker that costs extra. Still, if you're after a premium standalone headset with solid future-proofing, this is the lowest price the Quest Pro has seen, and a compelling offer while it lasts.

The Google Nest Wifi Pro Mesh Router Is 50% Off Right Now

7 January 2026 at 16:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

The Google Nest Wifi Pro is currently $99.99 on Amazon, which is half off its usual $199.99 price, and according to price trackers, the lowest it's ever been. At this price, it’s a solid entry point for anyone looking to upgrade to Wi-Fi 6E without diving into full-blown mesh systems or complicated installs. The router itself is designed to be discreet—no antennas, no buttons, just a small LED that quietly tells you if things are working. Setup happens through the Google Home app and takes only a few minutes.

Performance holds up well for everyday use. It supports tri-band wifi, including 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and the newer 6GHz band, though you can’t manually select which one your device connects to. There’s no separate network name for the 6GHz band; the router decides automatically using band steering. This isn’t ideal for people who want direct control, especially if you're hoping to get the most out of newer Wi-Fi 6E devices. Still, it uses modern features to keep speeds consistent. MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) allows it to communicate with several devices at once, instead of cycling through them one at a time. OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) improves efficiency by letting the router serve multiple users with different bandwidth needs at the same time. And 160MHz channel support means it can transmit more data in a shorter amount of time, which is great for streaming, gaming, or transferring large files.

It also supports Matter and Thread, which makes it a good match for newer smart home setups. That said, it’s worth noting that there are no USB ports, and Ethernet is capped at 1Gbps, so no multi-gig options here. You also can’t prioritize devices or set age-based filters as you can on some competing mesh systems, notes this PCMag review. Google does include basic parental controls (SafeSearch filtering and scheduled access), a guest network, and notification options, but it lacks any real security software like malware blocking. Power users will probably feel boxed in by the lack of advanced customization. But for most people, especially those already using Google’s ecosystem, it’s an easy, unobtrusive way to get faster, more reliable internet in their space.

These Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Are 25% Off Right Now

31 December 2025 at 14:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

Smart glasses have promised convenience for years, but few have felt practical enough to wear daily. The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses (Gen 1) come closer by keeping things familiar. They look like classic Wayfarers, not a tech experiment, which lowers the barrier right away. Right now, they’re also easier to justify on price. The matte black version with polarized lenses is 25% off at $246.75, down from $329, which is the lowest price so far, according to price trackers. A glossy black version with clear lenses costs less at $224.25 if you don’t need sun protection.

The real test is whether they fit into your routine without getting in the way. At 49 grams, they’re a bit heavier than standard Ray-Bans, and if you use prescription lenses, you’ll feel that extra weight after a while. In short bursts, though, they’re easy to live with. Tapping the frame to snap a photo or record 1080p video feels natural when your phone is in your pocket or bag. The 12 MP ultra-wide camera captures a lot of what’s in front of you and handles movement well enough for walks or events. That said, everything is recorded vertically, which should work fine for social media but limits what you can do with the footage later. 

Meta AI is where these glasses either win you over or leave you cold. You can ask simple questions, send texts, manage music, or use live language translation that keeps up with real conversations (which is genuinely helpful when traveling, as noted by our senior staff writer in his review), but these won’t book trips or handle complicated requests. Also, its open-ear speakers let you listen to music or take calls while staying aware of traffic and people around you. That trade-off favors awareness over audio quality, which makes sense for everyday use. The potential downside is its battery life, which lasts about four hours, with the case adding up to eight more charges, so you’ll need to think about charging if you plan to wear them all day.

These JBL Sports Earbuds Are $40 Off Right Now

30 December 2025 at 14:30

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

If exercising more is part of your New Year’s resolution and you need earbuds that won’t slip out or die mid-session, the JBL Endurance Race 2 are worth a look at their current $49.95 price. They launched at $89.95, and online price trackers confirm this is the lowest price they’ve hit so far.

These are unapologetically sports earbuds. The buds are large and stick out more than most, but the silicone wing design makes a real difference. You twist them into place, and they stay put through runs, weight training, and sweaty HIIT workouts.

Durability and battery life are where these earn their keep. The earbuds are rated IP68, meaning they’re dustproof and can handle heavy sweat and rain without worry. They’re not for swimming, but they’re tougher than most earbuds anywhere near this price.

The case is a different story. It’s lightweight at 1.4 ounces but bulky, and the IPX2 rating means it’s fine for gym bags, not great for wet runs. Battery life, though, is excellent. You get up to 12 hours with noise cancelling off, about 10 hours with it on, and up to 48 hours total with the case. That’s enough to get through a full week of workouts without thinking about charging. 

The trade-offs show up in sound and noise control. The sound quality is decent for workouts but lacks detail in the higher ranges, especially compared to more expensive earbuds. Active noise cancelling helps indoors, but it struggles outdoors, where footfalls and traffic still come through. Ambient mode also underperforms. It doesn’t let in enough sound for confident awareness near busy roads, and wind noise can overwhelm it. Touch controls are customizable but grouped in a way that forces compromises, and they’re unreliable with sweaty fingers or gloves. Still, for anyone sticking to a fitness resolution and wanting secure, durable earbuds with long battery life at a low price, the Endurance Race 2 makes sense, as long as top-tier sound and ANC aren’t the priority.

This Soundcore Saltwater-Resistant Speaker Is $50 Off Right Now

29 December 2025 at 17:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

Most outdoor speakers claim they can handle water. The Soundcore Boom 3i goes further: it's fully waterproof and dustproof with an IP68 rating, but it also resists saltwater, which is still rare at this size and price. That matters if your weekends involve beaches, boats, or the ocean rather than a backyard patio. Also, it floats, and more importantly, it does so facing upward, which keeps the drivers out of the water and the sound clear. That one detail makes a real difference when waves or movement would normally flip a speaker onto its side. The Boom 3i usually sells for $129.99, but it’s currently down to $79.99, its lowest price so far, according to price trackers.

It weighs a little over three pounds and comes with a shoulder strap, so carrying it to a beach or campsite doesn’t feel like a chore. And pushing up to 50 watts, the Boom 3i is loud enough to cover a small gathering of about eight people without sounding strained.

The sound quality is solid but not dramatic. You get punchy mid-bass and a warm tone, but very little deep bass, which is expected from a compact, front-facing speaker. There’s a BassUp button on top if you want more low-end emphasis, and the Soundcore app includes a nine-band equalizer for finer tuning. Battery life sits around 15 to 16 hours at moderate volume, and you can keep listening while charging over USB-C.

The Boom 3i’s interesting extras include a Buzz Clean mode, which plays a low-frequency tone to shake sand and grit out of the speaker after a beach day. It works surprisingly well, though you may still need to rinse or shake it afterward. Plus, there’s an emergency alarm and voice amplifier built in, which could be useful for kayaking or group outings, even if they’re not things you’ll use often. On the downside, the speaker reportedly down-mixes stereo audio to mono unless you pair it with a second unit, and the app doesn’t show an exact battery percentage.

All said, this isn’t the speaker for indoor listening or detailed sound. It’s for water-heavy trips where durability matters more than finesse. At this price, it’s a strong option for that specific use case.


These Stylish Marshall Headphones Are Nearly 50% Off Right Now

17 December 2025 at 14:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

For anyone who’s ever been tempted by Marshall’s signature guitar-amp look in headphone form but couldn’t justify the premium price, the Major V wireless on-ears just hit their lowest price ever, according to price trackers. Originally $169.99, they’re now available on Amazon for $89.99. That’s a 47% drop for a pair of headphones that stand out mostly for their sound signature, battery life, and retro design.

You don’t get active noise cancellation or high-end audio codecs like LDAC, but you do get over 100 hours of battery life (real-life usage may vary), punchy bass, and a retro-inspired design that folds up easily. The headphones run on 40mm dynamic drivers, and the tuning leans toward deep bass and crisp highs. They produce clean, rumbling sub-bass that doesn’t distort even at higher volumes, notes this PCMag review. Vocals stay clear thanks to subtle sculpting in the upper range. It’s not studio-flat audio, but it’s definitely fun. You can further tweak the sound in the Marshall app, which also lets you remap the M button for Spotify Tap or voice assistant access. The joystick on the right earcup handles volume and playback and feels intuitive, something many pricier headphones still haven’t nailed.

That said, there are trade-offs. You don’t get ANC, which means outside noise will creep in, especially with the on-ear design. There’s no Fast Pair, and no pouch to protect them when tossed into a bag. But you do get Bluetooth 5.3, support for wired playback, and surprisingly decent internal mics for calls. Battery life, again, is the standout—well over 100 hours per charge with USB-C or wireless charging via the right earcup. That alone makes the discounted price easier to swallow. If you want headphones that look good, sound bold, and don’t need to block out a plane engine, the Major V makes a strong case, especially while they're under $90.

This LG Curved Gaming Monitor Is Over $500 Off Right Now

16 December 2025 at 14:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

At just under $1,460 on Amazon right now (down from $1,999.99), the LG 45GX950A-B Ultragear OLED is still a major investment, but a serious one for anyone who cares about pixel density, immersion, and future-proof display tech.

You’re looking at a 45-inch ultrawide curved OLED screen with a resolution of 5120 x 2160, which puts it in rare territory. It doesn’t just look good; it’s one of the only displays of this size and shape that offers this much clarity, according to PCMag’s “excellent” review. Compared to more extreme 32:9 panels, its 21:9 aspect ratio feels a little more natural for everyday use and offers more usable vertical space. Whether you’re gaming or multitasking, that extra resolution pays off in clean text, sharper details, and more visible screen real estate.

The curved 800R OLED panel of the 45GX950A-B is paired with a 165Hz refresh rate at full resolution and can go up to 330Hz if you drop the resolution down to 1080p. Add in DisplayPort 2.1, two HDMI 2.1 ports, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync compatibility, and this thing is clearly built for performance. Input lag numbers back it up, with sub-10ms results in most tested modes. The monitor also supports multiple display modes depending on your use case, like a 4K 16:9 mode at 37 inches if you're watching movies or need tighter framing. The stand is solid, adjustable, and surprisingly desk-friendly for a monitor this large, and the USB-C port with 90W power delivery is a nice touch for anyone using it with a laptop setup.

Still, it’s not a monitor for everyone. The rated brightness is only 275 nits, which means it won’t pop in sunlit rooms the way some Mini LED or IPS panels do. And while it does have internal speakers with a bit of bass, they’re not loud enough to carry a room—headphones are still the way to go. But if you’ve got the desk space, GPU power, and budget, the 45GX950A-B might be the best way to go big without going full TV.

Sonos’ Latest Flagship Soundbar Is Over $200 Off Right Now

15 December 2025 at 15:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

Sonos has always occupied a specific corner of the audio world. Its products look minimalist, cost more than most competitors, and assume you care as much about software and longevity as you do about raw sound. The Arc Ultra is the company’s current flagship soundbar, and it follows that same logic. At full price, it’s a tough recommendation for anyone who just wants louder TV speakers. But right now, it is down to $879 from $1,099, a $220 drop and the lowest price it has hit so far, according to price trackers.

Physically, the Arc Ultra is large. It stretches over 46 inches wide and is almost three inches tall, so it works best under a similarly sized TV. Inside that long chassis are multiple angled drivers designed to bounce sound around your room, supporting Dolby Atmos for height effects without separate speakers. Compared to the original Arc, the Ultra adds Bluetooth, which makes it easier to use casually for music without opening the app every time. This “outstanding” PCMag review also notes that the Arc Ultra delivers clearer dialogue and deeper bass even without a subwoofer. That matters if you live in an apartment or don’t want to add another box right away. It connects via HDMI eARC, supports wifi streaming, and integrates voice assistants if you want them.

Where the Arc Ultra really makes sense is if you already own Sonos gear or plan to build toward it. You can pair it with Era 300 or Era 100 speakers as rears, and add a Sub 4 subwoofer or Sub Mini later. Everything syncs through the Sonos app, which remains one of the cleaner multi-room audio systems around, despite recent backlash over removed features (though updates have restored some functionality).

Still, this isn’t a value pick. A system like Samsung’s Q990C delivers a full surround setup for much less money. The Sonos argument is better build quality, a cleaner design, and long-term support. If you value audio clarity, expandability, and a polished ecosystem, the Arc Ultra is one of the best soundbars you can buy in 2025.

You Can Get The PlayStation 5 Pro for $100 Off Right Now

12 December 2025 at 14:30

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

The PlayStation 5 Pro’s price has finally eased up a bit, dropping to $648.99 from $749.99, which is the lowest it has gone on Amazon so far according to price trackers. For anyone who has been eyeing a console upgrade but didn’t want to spend full price, this discount makes it easier to consider.

The Pro looks almost identical to the regular PS5, but the changes inside matter a lot more than the shell. Sony bumped up the GPU power, increased memory bandwidth, and doubled storage to a 2TB SSD. In simple terms, you spend less time uninstalling old games to make room for new ones. Sony also added Wi-Fi 7, which won’t matter to everyone, but if your router is up to the task, downloads will be faster and more stable.

In use, the console feels familiar. You still get the fast loading PS5 owners enjoy, and the DualSense controller remains one of the best reasons to stay in the PlayStation ecosystem. The real difference comes when you fire up games that have been optimized for the Pro—titles like Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, and Horizon Forbidden West. These games run with higher frame rates and more stable performance. Visual details pop a bit more, especially on a capable TV. Other games will still run well, just without the added polish. You don’t lose anything by making the jump; you just get a bit more when the software allows it. PCMag gave the PS5 Pro an “Excellent” rating, largely due to its performance gains over the original.

That said, the PS5 Pro ships without a disc drive. If you’re someone who still buys physical games or has a stack of PS4 discs lying around, you’ll need to pick up the optional external drive for $79. If you’ve already gone all-digital, that extra cost doesn’t apply. Overall, the PS5 Pro isn’t a must-have for casual players, but it’s a smart buy for anyone who wants more visual fidelity now and doesn’t want to wait around for the PlayStation 6. And at this price, it’s a lot easier to justify the jump.

This Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch Is Nearly 50% Off Right Now

11 December 2025 at 14:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 just hit its lowest price yet at $129.99 (according to price trackers), down from its usual $249.99. If you already use a Samsung phone, this might be a good time to take a closer look.

This 40mm Bluetooth model keeps things simple but refined, with an aluminum body and a 1.3-inch OLED display that’s crisp and easy to read. It weighs only 1 ounce, and while not super slim, it doesn’t feel bulky on the wrist. It’s built to handle real-world use with an IP68 rating, 5ATM waterproofing, and MIL-STD-810H certification. That means it can survive dust, splashes, and some rough handling. Just don’t expect it to hold up during extreme activities, since Samsung reserves those upgrades for the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

Performance-wise, the Watch 7 gets a noticeable bump over the previous model. It runs Wear OS 5 with Samsung’s One UI 6 layered on top, which adds new tools like customizable widgets, photo editing, and built-in translation. The dual-frequency GPS tracks location more accurately than before, although this PCMag review notes that the watch can still be slightly off when logging runs or sleep. The screen is responsive, and gesture controls work well. The biggest limitation is battery life: With average use, you’ll get about 22 to 27 hours before needing a recharge. If you want all-day notifications and overnight sleep tracking, charging it daily will become part of the routine.

Where the Galaxy Watch 7 stands out is in its health and fitness tracking. You get the basics like heart rate, blood oxygen, ECG, and automatic workout detection. But it also adds body composition analysis, FDA-approved sleep apnea detection, and a new AI Energy Score that summarizes your fitness and sleep data into a single number. Some of the smarter features, like snore detection, only work if you have a Samsung phone nearby, which limits the experience for non-Samsung users. Still, at this new lower price, the Watch 7 offers strong value for Android users who want solid fitness tools in a durable, polished design. And if you're considering the new Galaxy Watch 8, it’s worth checking out this side-by-side comparison by PCMag to see how much of an upgrade it really is.

This Rugged Soundcore Bluetooth Speaker Is Nearly 40% Off Right Now

10 December 2025 at 17:30

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

The Soundcore Boom 2 is built for people who don’t want to baby their speakers. With an IPX7 rating and a floatable design, it’s something you can toss in the pool, hose off after a beach trip, or take out on a boat without much worry. And right now, the black model is $89.99, down from $139.99, its lowest price ever according to price trackers.

Note: While the Boom 2 floats, Bluetooth doesn’t work underwater. So your playlist cuts off as soon as it dips below the surface. Still, for outdoor parties where someone will eventually knock the speaker over, that floatability is peace of mind.

The Boom 2 pumps out 80 watts of sound thanks to two 15W tweeters and a 50W woofer. Turn off BassUp mode, though, and output drops to 60W, so if you’re into room-shaking bass, you’ll want to leave it on. And while you can link a second Boom 2 for stereo sound, you’ll be working with Bluetooth only, since there’s no wifi support. The speaker’s LED lights sync to your music, which is fun at night but does drain the battery faster. On that note: Expect around 24 hours of playback with lights and bass boost off, but less if you’re maxing out the volume. It takes about 5.5 hours to charge fully via USB-C. That might be a long wait if you're in a rush, but decent for overnight charging.

There’s a companion app where you can tweak the sound profile and control the light settings. That adds a level of customization some speakers skip. But this isn’t a speaker for someone who wants elegant design or deep audio fidelity, notes this PCMag review. The JBL Flip 6 might feel nicer in the hand, and the Sony SRS-XB23 offers slightly better balance across mids and highs. What the Boom 2 does well is give you bold sound, big volume, and enough durability to handle messy environments.

The OnePlus 13 Is Already $150 Off for Black Friday

21 November 2025 at 14:30

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

The OnePlus 13 isn’t just competing with flagship phones. It’s quietly undercutting them. At $699 for the unlocked 512GB Arctic Dawn model, down from $849, it’s currently at its lowest price according to price trackers, making a strong case for itself if you’ve been eyeing an Android phone with top-tier specs without crossing the $1,000 threshold.

It runs on the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with 16GB RAM, includes a massive 6.82-inch ProXDR OLED display that stays readable even in direct sunlight, and delivers all-day battery life. Add in 80W wired charging (with the charger actually in the box) and a surprisingly premium build with IP68/IP69 protection, and you start to wonder why this phone isn’t getting more buzz. It also supports wireless charging, but you’ll need to buy OnePlus’ AirVOOC charger separately, notes this PCMag review.

Performance-wise, it holds its own. Whether you’re juggling dozens of apps or pushing it with demanding games, the OnePlus 13 barely breaks a sweat. Plus, its 120Hz refresh rate makes everyday scrolling feel extra smooth. On the connectivity side, you get wifi 7, NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, and support for advanced audio codecs like LDAC and LHDC 5.0, which is great news for wireless headphone users. 

OnePlus’ ongoing collaboration with Hasselblad anchors the camera setup of the OnePlus 13, and this year, all three rear lenses are 50MP—main, telephoto, and ultra-wide. Color reproduction leans natural, not oversaturated, which is great if you prefer photos that don’t need major editing.

Software updates won’t go as long as Pixel or Galaxy phones, which might be a dealbreaker if you plan to keep your phone for years. And it doesn’t have a microSD card slot, so the 512GB you get is all you’ll have. But if you want top-tier performance, clean design, and unbeatable battery life for the price, the OnePlus 13 is one of the best values out there right now.

The New Pixel 10 Pro Is Already Nearly 25% Off for Black Friday

21 November 2025 at 14:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

At $849, the unlocked 256GB Google Pixel 10 Pro is now at its lowest price yet on Amazon, down from its original $1,099 launch price (according to online price trackers). That’s a significant drop for one of Google’s latest flagship phones.

While the much-hyped AI features don’t quite live up to expectations, the refined hardware and returning core strengths still make this a compelling upgrade for Android users. As Lifehacker’s Associate Tech Editor Michelle Ehrhardt notes in her review, Pixelsnap—Google’s new magnetic charging and accessory system—adds real day-to-day convenience, especially if you’ve ever admired Apple’s MagSafe ecosystem.

The Pixel 10 Pro sticks to what Google does best: excellent cameras, clean design, and long-term software support. Its triple-camera system delivers consistently great results, whether you’re shooting your cat in low light or capturing a skyline at golden hour. The display gets a modest but useful boost in brightness, and now supports Qi2 wireless charging for faster, cable-free top-ups. That said, Google dropped the physical SIM tray in favor of eSIM-only support with the Pixel 10 series. That’s not a problem if your carrier is compatible, but it could be limiting if you switch networks often or travel internationally.

Where it stumbles is in the details you won’t see in a spec sheet. The new AI tools, like voice-assisted summarizing and text generation, feel more like experiments than must-haves. The Tensor G5 chip performs smoothly in general, but reportedly falls behind Snapdragon chips in third-party app performance. Battery life is okay, not great—it’ll get you through the day, but not with much to spare, notes this PCMag review, so power users may need to top up before the end of the day. Still, if you're already in the Pixel world or looking to switch from another Android phone, this discounted Pixel 10 Pro feels like a confident step forward in all the right ways.

For anyone who wants more screen space or a foldable option, the rest of the Pixel 10 lineup is also discounted for Black Friday. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is going for $899, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is priced at $1,499, down from its original $1,799.

The Bose SoundLink Plus Is Already at Its Lowest Price Before Black Friday

A price drop always stands out more when the product in question already has a reputation for delivering above its size, and that’s the case with the Bose SoundLink Plus. It hasn’t been on the market for long, but it’s already earned strong reviews—CNET even labeled it “the Goldilocks of Bose Bluetooth speakers.” And right now, ahead of Black Friday, it’s down to $199 from $269, which price trackers show is the lowest it’s ever been.

Bose positions it right in the middle of the SoundLink lineup, and you feel that balance in how it’s built. It’s compact enough to clip onto a backpack using its built-in nylon strap, tough enough to handle getting knocked around, and sealed against dust and full water submersion with an IP67 rating. Battery life can last up to 20 hours, depending on the volume, which is sufficient for full-day outings. However, the roughly five-hour recharge time means it’s better to charge it overnight than rely on a quick boost. On the connectivity side, there’s Bluetooth 5.4 with AAC and AptX Adaptive support, as well as the ability to keep two devices paired for smoother switching. What you don’t get is a microphone, aux port, or any voice assistant support, which might matter if you prefer wired options or use speakers for calls.

The sound profile of this Bluetooth speaker leans into mid- and high-bass, which gives electronic and pop tracks a lively pulse without turning everything muddy. It doesn’t reach into true low-bass territory, so anyone who wants thumping sub-bass may not get it here, but the punch it does deliver feels clean for its size. Vocals sit a little behind the beat in denser tracks because the mid-range pulls back slightly, though you can adjust this with the app’s EQ tools. It’s also worth knowing that the speaker plays everything in mono, so you lose the space and width you’d hear in a stereo mix, but its directivity is good—you don’t have to stand directly in front of it to hear things clearly. That said, at higher volumes, there’s some compression, which is common in speakers this size.

This Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ Is Already $250 Off for Black Friday

19 November 2025 at 14:00

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ in Platinum Silver is currently priced at $749.99, down from its regular $999.99, and price trackers confirm this is the tablet’s lowest price to date. That discount alone makes a premium device more approachable, especially one that PCMag didn’t hesitate to call “excellent” in their review. They also named it their Editor’s Choice and their pick for the best Android tablet of 2024, which sets a certain expectation. The S10+ meets most of it.

The 12.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display looks sharp and handles colors cleanly, and its anti-reflective coating makes a difference when you’re using it outdoors. It still struggles under direct sunlight, but you won’t be tilting the screen around during a casual commute or on your couch. The tablet also feels sturdy in the hand, thanks to Samsung’s Armor Aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass 5 on the front, and the IP68 rating means it can handle dust and water better than any iPad.

Performance-wise, the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chip paired with 12GB of RAM keeps apps running smoothly without hesitation, and the 256GB of storage (with support for up to 1.5TB via microSD) makes it easy to load up with work files or games. Demanding games like Genshin Impact run smoothly, and not surprisingly, everyday tasks like email, browsing, reading, and hopping between apps don’t strain it either. Battery life lands at a little over eight hours in continuous playback at full brightness, which is decent, though anyone hoping for an all-day endurance champion might want to keep expectations in check.

​​Samsung’s software and AI tools round out the experience. Android 14 with One UI 6.1.1 brings multitasking shortcuts, a desktop-like DeX mode, and Galaxy AI tools such as Circle to Search, automatic note cleanup, and webpage summaries. These small conveniences add up and make the tablet feel more helpful in day-to-day use. Samsung also promises four years of OS updates and seven years of security patches. That said, the cameras feel like the most compromise-heavy part of the tablet. The 13MP main camera and 8MP ultra-wide do fine for video calls and scanning pages, but colors skew oversaturated and lack detail compared to what you’d expect at this price. Still, this is one of the best tablets you can buy in 2025, according to our Associate Tech Editor Michelle Ehrhardt.

These Noise-Canceling Bose Earbuds Are $50 Off Right Now

AirPods can fall short if you swap between different devices or want more than a single color option. That is where the currently discounted Bose QuietComfort Earbuds start to feel like a practical alternative. They’re sitting at $129 right now, which price trackers confirm as their lowest price so far and a noticeable drop from their usual $179. You also get more color options than normal, with black and white sitting alongside two limited shades, petal pink and twilight blue. And while Bose sells a higher-end QuietComfort Ultra model for $229 (down from $299), the standard QuietComfort buds don’t feel like a downgrade. PCMag’s 4/5 review backs that up, praising their sound, everyday ANC, and easy two-device pairing.

In everyday use, the sound has a warm depth that works well for long playlists and podcasts without fatigue. If you want to fine-tune it, the companion app offers an adjustable EQ that actually changes how your music sounds, rather than making tiny, barely noticeable tweaks. The noise cancellation isn’t as strong as what you get on the Ultra buds, but it does reduce enough steady background noise to make commutes and office work less distracting. As for connectivity, Bluetooth 5.3 keeps the connection steady, but codec support is limited to AAC and SBC, so Android users who want high-resolution codecs may notice the gap. Battery life feels practical, too. Bose claims 8.5 hours on the buds and 31.5 more hours in the case, which outlasts many earbuds in this price range and even outlasts Bose’s own higher-end Ultras.

The one drawback is the size. The QuietComfort earbuds are bulkier than AirPods, and some reviewers noted that they can shift during workouts, even with the included wings and multiple ear tip options. Everything else about using them stays simple. These earbuds will not be the best choice for someone who wants the strongest possible Bose noise cancellation or a slim, stem-style design. But at $129, they fall into a comfortable middle zone with fuller sound than standard AirPods, more control over your audio, strong battery life, and a price that makes them easy to consider.

You Can Get This Waterproof, Portable Skullcandy Speaker on Sale for $33 Right Now

If you’ve ever tried dragging a too-large speaker—or worse, relied on your phone’s tiny audio for sound projection—you should appreciate this sale on the Skullcandy Terrain Mini: It's palm-sized, no-frills, and currently on sale for $32.99 on StackSocial, with free shipping in the U.S. That price drop isn’t jaw-dropping, but for under $35, you’re looking at an IPX7-rated waterproof speaker that won’t be damaged if it's dropped or gets wet.

The Skullcandy Terrain Mini features Bluetooth 5.3, ensuring a stable connection within a 33-foot range. The battery is said to offer 14 hours of playtime, which should cover most day-long adventures or at least a solid workday playlist without needing a recharge. When the battery dies, it can be charged using a USB-C port, which is included, so you won’t need to dig through old cords. It also comes with a wrist strap that you can clip to a bag or swing around like a lanyard when you’re on the move.

As far as sound quality goes, it's decent on its own, but the True Wireless Stereo feature allows you to pair it with a second unit for true stereo separation. You can also use Skullcandy’s Multi-Link to chain together up to 99 of these. Realistically, you’ll probably never do that, but the option’s there if you ever want to DJ a flash mob.

That said, this speaker doesn’t punch far above its size. It’s built more for casual, portable listening than booming bass or high-volume precision. The fabric mesh helps with durability and sound clarity, but it won't replace your home speaker setup. If you’re in the market for a rugged little speaker that’s waterproof, rechargeable, and easy to toss in a bag, the Skullcandy Terrain Mini fits.

You Can Get Microsoft Visual Studio Pro 2022 and a Full Coding Course for Under $60 Right Now

8 October 2025 at 00:09

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

If you want to begin coding—either for a career shift, a hobby, or just to better understand your favorite apps—you can get Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 together with the Learn to Code Certification course pack currently on sale for just $45.97 on StackSocial. The deal runs through October 12. The standout here is that you’re not just getting a license for Visual Studio, which is already a powerhouse development environment, but also lifetime access to more than 60 hours of beginner-to-advanced coding instruction.

Visual Studio Pro 2022 itself is widely used in professional environments, built for serious dev work—think C#, Python, .NET, and more. You get tools like IntelliCode for AI-assisted coding suggestions, built-in Git support, debugging, and advanced testing features, all of which are useful whether you're building a small app or working on enterprise-level projects. Normally, licenses for just the IDE can get expensive, so getting it bundled with a full curriculum covering JavaScript, React, Python, CSS, and more is the kind of package that feels designed for someone starting out with ambition or a side hustle in mind.

That said, this is a Microsoft-centric deal. If you’re aiming to become a Mac-based developer or work heavily with Xcode and iOS projects, this probably won’t be your best fit. The same goes if you’re already deep into development and just looking for a few advanced certifications, as some of the coursework may feel too foundational. But if you’ve been stuck in tutorial limbo, this bundle provides structure, software, and real-world tools at a reasonable price. For under $50, it’s hard to beat the value, especially for learners who want both a development platform and a guided roadmap in one place.
