Google’s excellent Pixel 7a is selling at half price for Prime Day
Google’s Pixel phone line-up has a device for you at every price point, ranging from the latest foldable to models going back a few years selling for much cheaper than their original retail price. The Pixel 7a is a little over a year old now and has been superseded by the newer 8a, but it was among our favorite mid-range Android phones in its prime. The phone is still going strong and is available for sale on Amazon this Prime Day.

Samsung drops one of its latest phones to just $300 for Prime Day
Midrange phones are more competitive than ever, and their performance and battery life make us wonder why we spend $1,000+ on flagship devices. Phones under $500 used to include drab displays, awful build quality, and hardly any software support. But recently, even budget devices have featured OLED displays and years of software support. With so many high-quality options close in price, even a small discount can make a big difference.
Samsung's July 2024 security update just started showing up on a bunch of different phones

They’re some of the best Android phones you can buy today, featuring the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, colorful and large displays, and competitive camera setups. What sets apart the standard S24 and the S24+ is the size and a few minor differences in the battery and display department, whereas the Galaxy S24 Ultra is in a class of its own.
Grab this 512GB microSD card for just $30 this Prime Day
Most of our favorite Android phone brands have switched to a combination of limited onboard storage and expandable cloud storage. However, several budget and mid-range phones still feature a microSD card slot on the SIM tray, making these flash storage devices essential for anyone planning to shoot many photos and videos, or carry their Hi-Res music library offline. If that’s you, Prime Day has you covered with fantastic deals on some of our favorite microSD cards for Android devices.
The Google app could finally add new weather widgets
Google is developing three new weather widgets for Android, including square 2x2, 4x2 day-at-a-glance, and large 4x3 options. These upcoming widgets will provide more information than the current ones, displaying current temperature, highs and lows, hourly weather, and multi-day forecast. The launch date for the new widgets is unclear, as...
Massive Pixel 9 camera leak leaves nothing to the imagination
Google's Pixel 9 series is said to feature upgraded Sony sensors and improved selfie camera capabilities in an extensive leak.

Every pre-installed app you can safely remove from your OnePlus 12
Software comes in all shapes and sizes, no matter the phone. But with many apps serving the same purpose, you're bound to run into redundancy. Like the OnePlus Open, the OnePlus 12 has pre-installed apps from OnePlus and Google. OxygenOS, OnePlus' operating system, includes helpful apps and bloatware that aren't necessary for your phone. Just like the OnePlus Open, you can safely remove these apps without affecting your smartphone's performance. Our guide will walk you through deleting these apps while labeling the ones you can safely remove.
Google Pixel Tablet drops to the price it always should have been
While there are many great Android tablets, the Pixel Tablet is one of a kind, thanks to its magnetic charging speaker dock, which turns it into a smart home hub while docked. At its full price of $499 the Pixel Tablet is a hard sell though, especially since it had all the teething issues of a first-gen Google product. Google eventually released a version without the dock for $100 less, but it came too late to make a significant impact.
The OnePlus Pad 2 is here to give Samsung's Galaxy Tab a run for its money
OnePlus Pad 2 boasts a larger 12.1-inch display with a peak brightness of 900 nits and supports Dolby Vision for a better viewing experience. The tablet features a six-speaker system for spatial audio, a slim body with a hefty 9510mAh battery, and fast charging support up to 67W. Powered by...

Skip the Flip 6 — buy a Z Flip 5 for just $640 right now instead
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 was the redesign Samsung's flip phone needed when it came out in 2023. Motorola had been leaps and bounds ahead with its cover screens since it first revived the Razr in 2019, so Samsung finally introduced a bigger cover display, which was long overdue. The Flip 5 has just been replaced by the Flip 6, but that doesn't mean you should overlook the Flip 5. We gave it a 9/10 in our review for a reason, and it's been among our favorite foldables overall.
My favorite Wear OS smartwatch is down to its lowest price this Prime Day
The Pixel Watch 2 is among the best Android smartwatches you can buy. But at $350, it's on the expensive side. This Prime Day, though, you can get Google's best wearable yet for an all-time low price of $270. While Samsung's newest Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra pack better hardware, the Pixel Watch 2 stands out with its Fitbit integration and integration with Google services.
This zen-inducing river simulation game has convinced me of its untapped potential
More and more, the world of video games is partitioned by genre, be they great gacha games, puzzle games, or something else. The majority of new games fall into neat categories, easily explainable to the casual consumer hungry for something new. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but occasionally, something new comes along that defies any attempt to put it into a simple box. Roia is one of those games.
Ultrahuman just added a life-saving feature Samsung's Galaxy Ring doesn't offer
Ultrahuman's Ring Air offers AFib detection, a first for smart rings, beating out competitors like Samsung's Galaxy Ring. Some PowerPlugs features come with a subscription fee, but they can add valuable health tracking features like Vitamin D and Weight Loss tracking. Ultrahuman plans to expand the Ring Air's capabilities with...
