Deals on Nintendo’s handheld-only Switch Lite don’t pop up that often, and perhaps even less so on the Coral colorway.

Regularly $199, and likely to not last long at a price like this, it is now at the lowest we have tracked via Amazon on this colorway.

As enticing as the shiny new Galaxy Z Flip 6 is (big-time pre-order deals are still live right here), after going hands-on we said it “is as iterative asit gets” and it’s $100 more expensive. And that’s why this bonkers Amazon Prime Day deal on the unlocked Galaxy Z Flip 5 is perhaps even more alluring. Regularly $1,000 and $1,120 in the 256GB and 512GB configurations respectively, you can land them at huge discounts for Prime Day. Amazon has the 256GB model down at $579.99 shipped and the 512GB variant at $654.99 shipped. You’re looking at up to $465 off what was arguably the coolest foldable on the planet just a month ago.

As part of its ongoing Prime Day deals, the official Anker Amazon storefront is taking up to $2,699 off its lineup of power stations and solar generator bundles, like the SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station for $499 shipped. Regularly $999, we’ve seen steadily increasing discounts as 2024 goes on, kicking off the new year at $649, followed by a few repeating price cuts to $629, which saw things fall further to $609 by May.

Just as I have said before, there’s nothing quite like a brand new shiny 2024 smart TV, but the value on the still perfectly capable 2023 models are enticing to say the least. A great example of this is the deal we are tracking at Amazon for the TCL 85-inch QM8 QLED 4K Smart mini-LED Google TV down at $1,399.99 shipped. First released last spring, it landed with a $2,500 sticker and is now a whole lot less than that. Over the last several months at Amazon it has been carrying a $1,700 price tag and has now returned to the lowest price we have tracked there at an additional $300 off. You’re paying $1,100 les today than you would’ve last spring. That’s a serious deal and a great price for a sizable 85-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
These days the Bluetooth speaker market can feel overcrowded. This has caused many manufacturers to add lots of gimmicky features that may catch attention at first, but don’t actually matter in the long run. That’s why I was refreshed by the thought of Tribit’s latest portable Bluetooth speaker, StormBox 2. It focuses on the basics and not much else. This is what I’ve loved about the StormBox Micro that I purchased four years ago. It has delivered solid battery life and a surprising amount of power despite its compact form factor. So when Tribit offered to send a review unit of StormBox 2, I was thrilled to accept. Continue reading to get my hands-on impressions as part of the latest entry to the Tested with 9to5Toys series.

As part of its early Prime Day deals, Amazon is now offering some of the best prices to date on its eero mesh systems. We are now tracking a deal that drops the Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi router to $159.99 shipped. This is the lowest price we’ve tracked for this single node router, and it’s $25 cheaper than its previously discounted price of $185. This deal also drops it $10 under last year’s Black Friday price, making it one of the best times to snag it.
As part of its early Prime Day deals, and just after the debut of the sweet All-new 2024 Amazon Echo Spot smart speaker with display (it is seeing a massive price drop for Prime members right now too), we are now tracking the best price yet on the All-new Blink Mini 2 smart camera. This regular $40 smart camera debuted earlier this year just after we had a chance to give it a test run ahead of launch, but today’s deal at $19.95 shipped for Prime members is the very best yet. There has been some notable one-day offers at Best Buy that undercut the previous $30 low at Amazon, but nothing quite as low as the straight up 50% drop we are tracking ahead of Prime Day this year – it could drop lower next week, but it’s very hard to believe at a price like this.
Logitech has added a new wireless gaming mouse to its catalog called the Logitech G309, featuring the tried-and-tested HERO 25K sensor. Now up for purchase on Amazon at $79.99, the new Logitech G309 comes in both black and white colorways, and the company says this mouse can can deliver up to 600 hours of gameplay on a regular Bluetooth connection, or up to 300 hours of low-latency 1ms LIGHTSPEED gameplay on a single AA battery.
Update: Amazon has issued and official press release for the brand new Echo Spot smart speaker with additional details. You’ll find them down below.
Amongst all of the now live early Prime Day deals on Amazon in-house tech, the retail giant has just delivered a new 2024 iteration of the Echo Spot seemingly out of nowhere. This smart speaker is essentially an updated version of the previous-generation Spot, taking on a more elevated form-factor similar to what we see on the entry-level Echo Pop. The new 2024 Amazon Echo Spot features all of the Alexa voice control prowess you would expect, but adds a customizable nightstand or desktop-ready display to the experience. The new speaker seems to have just went live on Amazon with a discounted launch deal marking it down from the $80 MSRP to just $44.99 shipped for Prime members as part of its early Prime Day offers – there’s no telling how long this deal might last.
While there are some notable oversized smart TVs floating around down below, today we spotted the best Amazon price yet on the higher-end Hisense 85-inch Class mini-LED Premium ULED X QLED Series 4K Google Smart TV at $2,499.99 shipped. This model launched in 2023 at $5,000 and now carries a regular price closer to $4,000 at Best Buy where it is now matching the Amazon deal. Today’s offer delivers a new Amazon all-time low on the super-bright 2500-nit smart TV. Just make sure you head below for more details on Hisense 2024 models and some standout offers in the 85- to 100-inch category.
While we all await the release date for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta (and remain incensed after GameStop “played us like a damn fiddle”), Amazon is now offering deals on the official Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 to get you ready. You’ll find the Nintendo Switch version down at $24.55 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $25, while the PS5 and Series X|S copies are down at $29.99 Prime shipped. Regularly $40, this is at least 25% off and marking a new Amazon all-time low on the Switch version at 39% off. Metal Gear is a storied and wonderfully convoluted franchise. It’s no easy task to get caught up on the the timeline/story, but this collection can certainly help. It reaches way back to the 8-bit origins, delivering copies of Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Metal Gear (NES/FC version), and Snake’s Revenge, alongside a host of add-ons and extras in the package. Head below for more of this week’s best console game deals.
For most folks, a nice 65- and 75-inch smart TV is more than large enough to take care of the living room, basement, and gaming setup. But for others, this massive 100-inch Hisense U8 mini-LED smart TV is where it’s at. And where it’s at is $2,999.99 shipped via Best Buy and Amazon – that’s $2,000 under the current regular $5,000 price tag. Today’s deal is matching the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon to deliver what can only be described as an absolute monster of a smart TV for your home theater. Best Buy even offers free installation here. This thing brings Mario to life like never before. You might even be able to charge your friends and family to come watch movies at your house (or at least make them bring the popcorn).
Update 2: The deals below are once again live after quickly jumping back up in price.
Update: You’ll also find the GoPro HERO12 Black marked down to $299 shipped at Amazon from the regular $399 price tag. Get a closer look right here.
Amazon is now offering a more than notable price on the GoPro HERO11 Black at $249.99 shipped. This is a regularly $350 action camera seeing a straight up $100 price drop to deliver the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon. For comparison’s sake, it is now at the same price as the HERO11 Black mini – some might prefer the one-button action here, but there is no touchscreen or onboard mode button (it’s all done through the app). Today’s offer is also matched at Best Buy and B&H. We have seen it go for a touch less in past sales at places like Target, but this is the lowest we have tracked this year outside of YMMV offers and open box options. If your looking to capture some high octane summer fun over the next few months, or even when you hit the slopes later this year, you might want to consider the Amazon all-time low now live on the HERO11 Black. Hit the jump for more details.
Amazon’s Fire TV sticks, especially the flagship 4K Max model, have been popular among 9to5Toys readers, but they are about to get another sweet new feature to add even more value, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. While we did previously see Xbox bring its Game Pass cloud service directly into the Samsung Gaming Hub on its smart TVs, today’s announcement marks one of the first times it will expand beyond that. This all starts next month and you can get all of the details down below.
The 2024 summer Prime Day will take place on July 16 and 17 this year. It’s official folks. Amazon has now announced this year’s summer Prime Day dates – the festivities will be kicking off on July 16, 2024 and, as usual, carrying through to end of day on July 17. The 48-hour event is now officially on the books and we will be here working literally around the clock – I’m not just saying that, we literally (almost) don’t sleep at all for two-days – to ensure as much of the money you worked hard to earn stays in your pocket while still being able to bring home some sweet gear. Hit the jump for more details.
While we did recently see the entry-level 128GB model down at $599 on Amazon, today is ushering in some notable $200 price drops on the elevated 256GB Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 starting from $719.99 shipped. This deal is available at Amazon and Best Buy where you’ll find additional $200 to $250 price drops on other models in the S9 family awaiting down below as part of its now live Member Deals Days event. The 256GB S9 featured up top here carries a regular price at $920 and is now seeing a straight up, no strings attached $200 price drop. This is on par with the lowest we have tracked this year at Amazon and the lowest we can find. It is currently listed at $800 directly from Samsung.
Affordable portable projectors can have their limitations but Yaber is addressing those with its new feature-packed V12 Projector. With Netflix licensing, WiFi6 and a bright 1080p image, it’s a perfect companion for summer movie nights. And, right now, it’s available for just $288.89 with the on-page coupon on Amazon. Be sure to hit the video below to see all of the details.
Overview
Yaber isn’t new to the projector market – it has a variety of projectors with 4K images, auto-focus and auto-keystone correction, and even a pocket-sized pico projector.
With the V12, Yaber aims to deliver an easy-to-use projector with everything necessary for a seamless viewing experience. It has autofocus and auto-keystone, Netflix licensing, and a variety of onboard inputs to make it versatile.
Additionally, the V12 has a large carry handle on top and a wide pivoting base to make it easy to place anywhere, anytime. The base can also be removed when its not needed. V12 isn’t battery-powered, but it is the perfect companion for a battery pack like the Growatt Infinity 1300 we recently featured.
Yaber V12: Video
Ins and Outs
Despite its affordable price, the Yaber V12 features an ethernet port, dual USB-A ports, dual HDMI ports, and a headphone out. It also features Bluetooth 5.2 and can be used as a speaker.
Besides physical inputs, the Yaber V12 uses a Linux system with over 7000 apps. From YouTube to Amazon Prime and, of course, Netflix, V12 also supports mobile phone screen sharing.
Image
Though the Yaber V12 is very affordable, it still packs a bright, detailed image. Yaber claims 700 ANSI lumens with a 1920x1080p resolution. It looks great in my office with the lights off and outside for movie nights. It can zoom in and fit screens up to 200” in size—a truly movie-theater-life experience.
Audio
The Yaber V12 also delivers up to 20W of powerful sound with Dolby Audio. It can easily fill a room or even act as a stand-alone Bluetooth speaker.
In-Use
Throughout my time with the Yaber V12 I’ve been amazed by how responsive and easy-to-use it is. With dedicated buttons on the remote for Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video, its easy to access some of our most-used streaming platforms.
The auto-keystone and autofocus also make the V12 almost effortless to use. It detects when the projector is moved and will instantly begin the process of delivering a sharp, perfectly aligned image.
Final thoughts
Yaber is delivering some of the best performance I’ve seen at this surprisingly low limited-time price point. At just $289.89 it’s an incredibly easy-to-use smart projector. Native Netflix support alone is a rare commodity among budget projectors. Combine that with convenient features likes auto focus and auto-keystone, and the Yaber V12 is an easy way to make movie nights more fun this summer.

After seeing some notable deals on its more traditional 15W MagSafe charging stations and the dedicated Apple Watch model, today we spotted a rare deal at Amazon on the Belkin Auto-Face Tracking MagSafe Stand Pro with Apple DockKit. This model debuted at CES earlier this year before being official launched thereafter as the world’s first Apple DockKit-supported iPhone stand with auto-tracking. It carries a regularly $180 price tag and you can now knock 25% off for a total at $134.99 shipped.

Amazon is now once again offering the Belkin BoostCharge Pro Apple Watch Charger starting from $47.99 shipped. Regularly $60 and currently on sale for $51 directly from Belkin, this is a solid 20% in savings and the best price we can find.

While plenty of folks are rocking a 3-in-1 tree-style MagSafe station that powers your entire Apple kit, including an Apple Watch, it can be nice to have a basic setup for your Apple wearable elsewhere in the house, at the office, on the nightstand, and more with a space-saving footprint.

Amazon’s Blink smart home brand is one we have featured around here for quite some time, delivering a breadth of relatively affordable smart camera systems and video doorbells for Alexa users. After just getting a chance to go hands-on with its latest release, the Blink Mini 2 indoor and/or outdoor solution, today the brand is expanding its offerings on the software side of things. Blink Moments is a new “video viewing experience that automatically combines clips captured across Blink cameras into a streamlined video,” and it will be rolling out globally in the “coming weeks.”
Just ahead of the new entry-level Beats Solo landing on store shelves with some serious battery power, we are now tracking a host of notable price drops across the existing Beats lineup. Ranging from the best price ever on the brand new Solo 4 on-ear headphones through to the Beats Studio and the Studio Pro ANC over-ear headphones, much of these offers have now returned from over the Memorial Day weekend festivities, but others, like the aforementioned Solo 4, have now dropped even lower. Head below for a closer look.
I bought my first smart light bulb well over a decade ago now. Over time, I’ve tried countless brands of smart bulbs, smart plugs to control lamps, and have even swapped out light switches for smart ones. Now my home has a mixture of all those things, and I would have it no other way. I’ve generally leaned on Philips Hue for smart bulbs because they’re one of the most platform-agnostic solutions out there, but the arrival of Matter has changed the game. This paved the way for me to eventually try out a 4-pack of Linkind Matter-enabled smart light bulbs at an incredibly low price. Continue reading for my hands-on impressions as part of the latest entry to the Tested with 9to5Toys series.
Amazon Prime Day is quickly approaching now, scheduled to take flight in about one-month’s time with what is primed to be the biggest deal event of the year thus far. Amazon stepped in this year with a new Big Spring Sale to take us out of the winter months with some solid discount opportunities across just about all major categories, but it wasn’t on the same level as last year’s Prime events, and certainly not what we are expecting for next month’s summer Prime Day sale. These events can sometimes feel like a cash grab, Amazon and the brands it carries just trying to bolster sales, and that is the case, but they are also a fantastic chance to save cash while bringing home the gear and essentials you need for the rest of the year and beyond.
Joining today’s deals on the Pixel 7 Pro and ongoing offers on both the Pixel 8 configurations and, more specifically, the Google Pixel Fold at $1,299 (that’s $500 off by the way), Amazon is also now offering some notable deals on the official Google Pixel Fold Case from $37.99 shipped. Regularly $60 directly from Google, you’ll find all three colorways marked down right now by up to 35%. Today’s deal undercuts our previous mention by as much as $10 and makes a notable chance to score a solid price drop on all three styles of the official offering. Head below for more.
