With Amazon Prime Day well into its second day, we've seen some absolutely stellar deals so far. But, every year, there are always a handful of deals that stand above the rest and make prove to be the best of the best — the ones people actually buy. After all, we do our best to outline all the deals worthy of your hard-earned money, but at the end of the day, you decide what deals are the real winners during Prime Day.

Blink's absurdly cheap video doorbell is a Prime Day must-have

For 2-way audio, HD video recording, and motion alerts, $30 is a steal

There are many desirable video doorbells on the market, and thanks to Amazon Prime Day, some of the top models are on sale. One of the greatest deals we've come across is the Blink Video Doorbell, which we highly recommend to those who want a video doorbell but don't want to spend a ton of money. Although it may not have as many features as the pricier models, it is an excellent choice to safeguard your house from porch pirates and welcome friends and family. Currently, the Blink Video Doorbell is available for a mere $30, making it a cost-effective solution for home security. This deal is so good, it's chief among many of the desirable smart home deals.

Android tablets just haven't caught up to Apple in the tablet market

We are the first to admit that the Android tablet experience can be lacking. While many of the best Android tablets have gotten much better in recent years, there's just a lot that Apple's iPadOS offers over Android when it comes to tablet-specific software. While Apple tends to be a little more expensive than comparable Android tablets (okay, a lot more expensive), the bang for your buck when comparing iPads to Android tablets falls in Apple's favor.

Phones are expensive, but now that Amazon Prime Day is in full swing, there are plenty of opportunities to save money on your next phone. While some of the best Prime Day phone deals we've found so far are on some premium flagship Android phones, but this Pixel 6a deal may be the best one we've seen yet! Even though Google launched the Pixel 7a not too long ago, they kept the Pixel 6a around and lowered the price. Right now, it seems Amazon has stopped selling it at the $250 price tag we saw early, but they do still have a $50 discount going; however, you can still get the Pixel 6a for $250 at Best Buy with immediate activation.

A vast array of headphones are available in the market, including in-ear, on-ear, over-ear, wired, and wireless ones, but true budget earbuds and headphones can sometimes be a little less than desirable. While you shouldn't expect premium quality audio from a budget offering, there's nothing saying you can get budget headphones and earbuds with good features and decent sound; you have to know where to look.

Running out of storage on your smartphone is the most frustrating experience, especially when taking pictures or downloading new apps. Typically, buying the higher internal storage capacity on some of the best Android phones will increase the price. Still, if you have a phone with expandable storage, you can buy a microSD card to help alleviate some pressure on the internal storage struggle. Although microSD cards can also be a little expensive, Amazon Prime Day has slashed the prices of some incredible PNY cards, which are some of the best microSD for Android devices you can buy.

That's right; you can save up to 58% on Amazon Blink cameras and lights, so it doesn't have to be expensive to keep an eye on your home and yard.

When we reviewed Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, it was clear that Samsung had refined the finer points of the previous Watch 4 to make the Watch 5 truly shine. There's no doubt that the Galaxy Watch 5 is the best Android smartwatch for most people on the market right now. With stellar performance and amazing display, you can't go wrong; and right now is the best time to pick one up.

Samsung Galaxy A54 vs. Galaxy S22: This year's midrange or last year's flagship?

How does Samsung's mid-range Galaxy A54 stack up against the S22?

4
By 

When it comes to saving money on your next phone, you have a few choices. You can opt for a mid-range phone that may lack some flagship features, or you can consider purchasing an older flagship model with the high-end specs you desire, but on slightly outdated hardware. Making a decision can be challenging, and Samsung has made it even more difficult this year. The Samsung Galaxy A54 is a superb midrange phone, and when you compare it to the Galaxy S22, last year's smallest S series flagship, it becomes a close call as to which phone to choose.

Samsung's Galaxy A54 is setting the stage for what could be another exciting race among mid-range smartphones. Of course, the recent launch of the Google Pixel 7a may have been a giant leap forward for Google's budget phone lineup, but the Google Pixel 6a is still one of the best budget Android phones because of everything it offers. The Samsung Galaxy A54 has had some pretty cool upgrades over its predecessor —the Galaxy A53 — but will it be enough to beat the Pixel 6a head-to-head? Let's find out.

If you're in the market for a budget-friendly Android tablet, you'll find that they offer a fantastic experience for activities like streaming Netflix, browsing the web, playing games, and handling light tasks. The good news is you don't need to break the bank to enjoy these benefits. Among the top contenders in this category are the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 and the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022), both of which stand out as some of best cheap Android tablets. If you're torn between the two, which option best suits your needs is worth considering. While both tablets cover the essential tablet functions admirably, the S6 Lite takes it a step further with S Pen support and the convenience of Samsung's DeX feature. The question remains: is the extra investment justified for these additional capabilities?

As Motorola attempts to boost its reputation in the U.S. market, we'd have to call it a smashing success in the first half of 2023. Not only did Motorola release a very competent flagship competitor to the Google Pixel 7 and Samsung Galaxy S23 in the Motorola Edge+ (2023), but it recently shocked the world by introducing its newest clamshell foldable — the Motorola Razr+. But how does Motorola compete with itself?
