If you want a TV but prefer something that won’t clash with your room’s decor, Samsung’s The Frame is a standout option that’s designed to look like a piece of framed art instead of a black, monolithic rectangle mounted to your wall. You can buy the latest version of the 55-inch Samsung Frame TV on sale for around $897.99 ($402 off) at Amazon, which marks a new low price. Larger sizes are on sale, too, including the new 98-inch model, which is down to $3,749.99 ($1,252 off).

Where to Buy:

~~$1097.99~~ $897.99 at Amazon (55-inch)

The 2026 model is largely the same as its predecessor; The biggest hardware change is that this size of the TV features built-in ports instead of using Samsung’s One Connect Box. Like previous models, it has a matte, canvas-like display that more closely resembles an actual painting better than a glossy TV screen. Its built-in motion sensor detects when someone enters the room and can automatically display artwork, even adjusting its brightness and colors based on ambient lighting. It supports Samsung’s Art Store, which offers access to more than 5,000 works ranging from world-famous galleries to lesser known, independent artists. A full subscription costs $49.99 annually, though you can also enjoy 30 new free, rotating artworks every month. Samsung includes a wall mount and a black bezel in the box, with additional magnetic frame styles available separately to better match your space or taste.

In terms of performance, the Frame prioritizes style over image quality, so it’s not necessarily the best choice for cinephiles who may be willing to pay more for a brighter picture, deeper blacks, and more lifelike colors. Still it offers a refresh rate of up to 144Hz with variable refresh rate support for smoother gaming, along with HDR10 Plus and Dolby Atmos support for a more immersive audio/visual experience.

Amazon is phasing out Fire HD tablets, but not without some big discounts first

2026-10-20T14:17:30-04:00

Amazon recently announced it’s phasing out its Fire HD tablets in favor of much pricier Alexa Tablets. While the days of getting an affordable, but good tablet from Amazon seem to be coming to an end, you can still get a fantastic deal on the ad-supported Amazon Fire HD 10. It has dropped to a new low of $72.99 ($82 off) at Amazon. While it’s far from the fastest tablet out there, it’s a solid option for watching movies, reading books, or browsing the web. And, it’ll continue to get security updates.

Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023)

Where to Buy:

~~$139.99~~ $72.99 at Amazon (32GB, with ads)

The Fire HD 10 is one of the nicer models in Amazon’s budget-friendly Fire lineup, and at its current price, is actually slightly cheaper than the Fire HD 8. The Fire HD 10 offers a spacious, sharper 10.1-inch 1080p display that makes watching shows and reading more enjoyable than on the Fire HD 8’s smaller, lower-res screen. It also offers better front-facing cameras for video calls and up to 13 hours of battery life, so you don’t need to worry about it dying during long road trips or flights.

If the 32GB of built-in storage isn’t enough, there’s a microSD card slot for expanding it up to 1TB, so you can download more apps, movies, shows, and books for offline use. Plus, Amazon’s tablet has a 3.5mm headphone jack — something you won’t find on newer iPads. If you’re really into smart assistants, the Fire HD 10 supports Alexa Plus, which Prime members can access for free. Amazon’s upgraded AI assistant can handle more complex requests and is particularly useful for managing your smart home, though we’ve had mixed results with other tasks.

You may be aware that the Fire HD 10 runs Amazon’s Fire OS rather than Android (the new Alexa Tablets support Google Play Store out of the box). However, it’s possible to sideload Android apps onto it with relative ease, though keep in mind that the Fire HD 10’s low-end specs might mean that your favorite Android apps and games might not run all that well.

Sony’s best noise-canceling earbuds are nearly $100 off today only

For a very limited time, Sony’s latest high-end noise-canceling earbuds are actually cheaper than their last-gen counterpart, the WF-1000XM5. B&H Photo is selling Sony’s latest WF-1000XM6 in black for an all-time low of $238 ($92 off) at checkout. Other retailers aren’t currently offering a discount on the XM6.

Where to Buy:

~~$329.99~~ $238 at B&H Photo

The XM6 are a solid upgrade over their predecessor and easily amongst the best noise-canceling wireless earbuds on the market. In his review, John Higgins noted that they do a better job of tuning out other people’s conversations than any other earbuds he’s tested. Sony has also improved the bone-conduction sensor and added AI-powered microphones that help keep your voice clear during calls, even in noisy environments.

The XM6 earbuds also deliver clean, balanced sound with impressive bass, raising the bar of what we expect with Sony’s WF-1000XM series. If you prefer to customize your listening experience, Sony’s Sound Connect app offers plenty of customization options, including the ability to adjust how much surrounding noise you hear without removing the earbuds. You can also personalize the touch controls.

The XM6 earbuds support Sony’s LDAC codec, which delivers higher-quality audio from compatible Android devices, too. New in the latest set is a listening mode that makes music sound more like background audio playing in a cafe, allowing you to listen to your favorite music without getting too distracted from whatever you’re doing.

The new Apple TV 4K just got its first (very small) discount

2026-10-16T12:35:37-04:00

The new Apple TV 4K will be available in November. | Image: The Verge

Earlier this week, Apple announced its new Apple TV 4K, which costs nearly twice as much as the 2022 model did at launch. Amazon is now offering the first discount on the forthcoming streaming box (coming out on November 13th), just days after discounting Apple’s new smart display for the first time. Right now, you can preorder the latest Apple TV 4K ahead of its November 13th release date for $289.99 ($9 off) at Amazon. Yes, it’s a tiny discount, but every little bit helps given the higher price tag.

Apple TV 4K (2026)

Where to Buy:

~~$299~~ $289.99 at Amazon

Powered by the new A19 chip, Apple’s latest streaming device now features support for Siri AI out of the box, which is coming to older Apple TV 4K models via a software update. Unlike its predecessors, though, the new model features far-field microphones so you can quickly make hands-free requests. You can, for example, ask for recommendations, like nature documentaries available on Apple TV, or ask questions about what you’re watching. Siri AI can also understand personal context, too, so long as you have an iPhone or iPad connected to your account that supports Apple Intelligence.

Apple has made a few other welcome upgrades, though — as my colleague John Higgins points out — not as many as some may have expected. While Apple skipped features we’d hope to see on a $300 streamer, like audio passthrough and support for 120fps output, it’s nice that the Siri Remote now supports Find My precision tracking, so you can make it ring when it goes missing or use the Find My app on your iPhone to pinpoint its location. The new Apple TV 4K also supports a more expansive surround-sound setup, allowing you to pair up to four compatible HomePod speakers instead of just two.

Three more Verge-approved deals:

If you’ve been meaning to pick up Pikmin 4, Walmart is selling a digital copy for $39.88 ($20 off), which is a great price considering most other retailers are still charging the full $59.99. It’s the original Switch version, but you can upgrade to the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Edition when it arrives on November 12th by purchasing a separate $9.99 upgrade pack, which adds improved graphics and a new Dandori Academy mode. That brings your total to just $49.87, saving you about $20 compared to buying the $69.99 Switch 2 Edition outright. Read our review.
All eyes might be on the iPhone Duo — which is now available to preorder, despite shipments being delayed into 2027 — but if you have a non-foldable iPhone, Woot is currently discounting a wide range of Otterbox cases through October 31st. I’ve owned several of the brand’s cases for both my smartphones and tablets over the years, and I’ve been impressed by their durability. I currently use the OtterBox Symmetry Series Clear Case for my iPhone 16, which normally costs $49.99 but is now available in various colors for just $5.99 with a 90-day warranty. The sale also includes cases for other iPhones, as well as some Samsung and Google phones, so it’s worth browsing even if you’re not planning to upgrade your phone anytime soon.
Fanttik’s S1 Pro electric screwdriver is on sale for $45.99 ($44 off) at Amazon, which is $5 shy of its best price to date. It’s a handy cordless option for small tasks ranging from tightening screws to assembling desks, with 16 S2 hardened steel bits for tackling a variety of jobs. The USB-C rechargeable screwdriver also comes with a 220RPM motor and three torque settings, along with a LED light to help illuminate your workspace.

The iPhone Duo is now available to preorder at $1,999

Few phones have been more anticipated than a foldable iPhone, but it’s finally here. The iPhone Duo was unveiled during Apple’s “Surprise and shine” event alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 models.

Apple’s first foldable has a 5.4-inch outer screen, and it unfolds to show off its 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR screen. Apple Pencil support is coming later this year. While it lacks Face ID for facial unlocking, there’s a Touch ID sensor along its edge to identify your fingerprint. The device has an IP68 rating, with Ceramic Shield 2 on its back, with Ceramic Shield covering the front display. It has the same A20 Pro chipset as the iPhone 18 Pro. Notably, the Duo has the same 48-megapixel fusion camera as the 18 Pro, though it doesn’t have variable aperture.

The foldable will come in two colors, Star White and Night Sky, and starts at $1,999 for the 256GB version. You can preorder an unlocked version now ahead of its Friday, October 23rd release date from Apple and Best Buy.

iPhone Duo

The iPhone Duo is Apple’s first take on a foldable and comes with all the first-generation quirks you’d expect. Its outer screen can feel cramped, but the inner matte display is a real standout for content consumption.

Where to Buy:

Offers from carriers

If you’re looking to buy from a carrier, a few are offering promomtions.

AT&T is offering new and existing customers up to $1,200 off the iPhone Duo with a qualifying trade-in, applied through 36 monthly bill credits. Customers switching to AT&T can also receive up to $800 via a reward card to help pay off their existing phone balance. Additionally, customers who activate a new eligible line online can save up to $200 per line through 36 monthly bill credits.
T-Mobile will offer up to $1,000 off the iPhone Duo with eligible trade-ins on an Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plan. Alternatively, you can get the same discount without a trade-in when adding a new line and switching from another carrier.
Verizon is waiving its $40 activation fee for new customers who preorder the iPhone Duo. You can pay $55.55 per month over 36 months at 0 percent APR. Alternatively, Verizon offers a Simplicity Pro package for $72.22 per month, which bundles the phone with additional perks like two extra TravelPass days per month, and lets you upgrade your phone up to two times within a rolling 12-month period.

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones are $130 off today only

2026-10-15T13:10:58-04:00

If you missed out on Prime Day’s headphones deals, you’re in luck. Sony’s latest flagship headphones are selling for even less than they did during Amazon’s big fall sale. As part of B&H Photo’s Deals of the Day, you can currently pick up Sony’s WH-1000XM6 noise-canceling headphones in silver for just $328 at checkout ($130 off) for the rest of the day. That’s one of the best prices we’ve seen, and much cheaper than what you’ll typically pay at major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy, even during seasonal sales.

Sony WH-1000XM6

Where to Buy:

~~$458~~ $328 at B&H Photo

The WH-1000XM6 are Sony’s best over-ear headphones yet, thanks in part to a new chip, which Sony says delivers the most powerful active noise cancellation in the series. Unsurprisingly, they also deliver the best sound of any WH-1000XM-series headphones to date, with new drivers that produce clearer vocals and richer bass. They’re great for work and life outside the office, too, thanks to improved call quality and multipoint Bluetooth, which lets you stay connected to two devices at once.

If you travel or commute frequently, you might appreciate that Sony brought back the foldable design of the XM4, making the headphones easier to pack. Their wider headband also helps with comfort during long listening sessions, and the earcups can be easily removed for cleaning or to be replaced when needed. Battery life remains solid at up to 30 hours with ANC enabled, and as an added convenience, you can now charge them while listening — provided you use a 3.5mm audio cable alongside a USB-C charging cable.

Apple’s new HomeView smart display is $10 cheaper at Amazon

Apple only just announced on Tuesday that its first smart display, the HomeView, will arrive on November 13th, but you can already save a couple bucks on it. Right now, you can buy the display for $289.99 ($10 off) in gray and the creamy white “starlight” colorway at Amazon. Sure, it’s a small discount, but deals on new Apple devices ahead of launch are rare.

Apple HomeView

Where to Buy:

Expect a full review of the HomeView in November, but my colleague Jennifer Pattison Tuohy spent some brief time with it and likened it to an “iPhone for your home” that looks a bit like an oversized Apple Watch. It features a gorgeous seven-inch square touchscreen that can recognize up to six household members and automatically switch between personalized experiences, displaying information relevant to whoever is using it.

As you might already know, the HomeView also doubles as a smart home hub, with support for Matter and Thread. You can use it to control compatible smart home devices, view live feeds and recorded footage from HomeKit Secure Video cameras, and more. It also features a 12-megapixel FaceTime camera for video calls, and doubles as an entertainment device, letting you play music, display photos, and more.

Apple’s AI-powered Siri assistant is another big part of the experience, allowing you to ask questions and get information using personal context from your messages, calendar, and emails. That means you can ask it to find your lost keys, play a song someone texted you, pull up a recipe with step-by-step instructions and built-in timers, or help you keep track of your schedule without having to reach for your phone.

The Xteink X4 Pro is a great, tiny e-reader, and it’s cheaper than ever

If you’re looking for an e-reader that can easily fit in your pocket (or snap onto your magnet-equipped phone), the tiny Xteink X4 Pro might be worth a look. It features a 4.26-inch, 800 x 480 E Ink display, making it significantly smaller and thinner than Amazon’s smallest six-inch Kindle. It’s also quite a bit cheaper. Right now, you can pick it up for $84.15 ($25 off) at Amazon, which is its best price to date.

Xteink X4 Pro

Where to Buy:

The X4 Pro brings several welcome upgrades over its predecessors, including a touchscreen that gives readers another way to interact with it. It still has physical page-turning buttons, though. There’s also a new touch-sensitive button below the display for quickly returning to the home screen, along with a built-in light with adjustable brightness and color temperature, so you can read in the dark. It ships with the excellent CrossPoint Reader software, which makes navigating your library and reading books a much better experience than on previous Xteink models we’ve tested, though it’s still not quite as polished as Amazon’s software.

Understandably, not everyone is a fan of Xteink’s decision to swap the X4 Pro’s USB-C port for a proprietary charging connector. If you can look past that, the X4 Pro is a great, little e-reader that features magnets that let you attach it to compatible smartphones, just like previous models. The magnetic connection is stronger this time around, though we still wish it were a little more secure. All the same, my colleague Andrew Liszewski still considers the X4 Pro the best tiny e-reader you can buy, calling it a device he “won’t leave the house without.”

How Google’s new Pixel 11 phones compare to last year’s models

2026-08-12T11:18:25-04:00

Google just added four new phones to the Pixel family: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. They’re slightly more expensive than their predecessors, but they come with some notable upgrades, including improved cameras and a new Tensor G6 chip that should deliver faster performance. The phones also have new photography tools, like Magic Capture, along with improvements to Gemini Intelligence, expanded Live Translate capabilities, and the ability to use Circle to Search directly through the camera.

To make deciding whether you’ll upgrade or hold onto your last-gen phone a little simpler, we’re focusing on comparing the specs of the 6.3-inch Pixel 11 and Pixel 10 models, as well as the 6.8-inch Pro XL models. If you’re curious about how the Pixel 11 Pro Fold compares to its predecessor (and to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 series foldables), we’ve got a spec comparison right here.

Before we get to the specs, here’s a breakdown of what’s new.

They’re more expensive, but you get more storage

The most obvious difference is that, like almost everything these days, they’re more expensive than before. The Pixel 11 starts at $899, $100 more than its predecessor, but Google has doubled the base storage to 256GB with 12GB of RAM. The Pixel 11 Pro starts at $1,099 — $100 more than the Pixel 10 Pro’s launch price — with the same 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM, and is available with up to 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM. Meanwhile, Google’s larger 6.8-inch Pixel 11 Pro XL starts at $1,299 and offers the same storage and RAM configurations as the Pro.

Tensor G6 allows for even more AI features

Both the Pixel 11 and Pro phones run on Google’s new Tensor G6 chip, which the company claims should improve performance by up to 25 percent compared to its predecessor. The new chip also powers a host of AI upgrades, including improvements to Gemini Intelligence, which Google says can now pull more context from supported apps to proactively surface useful information. There are also new voice-to-text tools that remove filler words and clean up formatting, while writing assistance can use what’s on your screen to help draft, rewrite, and refine messages. Live Translate is also available on videos, podcasts, and voice messages, and Circle to Search now works directly through the camera, letting you identify objects, translate text, or search your surroundings without snapping a photo first.

The cameras get some notable upgrades inside and out

There are a number of camera improvements, too, along with new photography and video features. On the hardware side, the Pixel 11 has a slimmer camera bar that sits flush when paired with one of Google’s phone cases. It can also zoom in farther than its predecessor, reaching up to 30x for photos, while the Pixel 11 Pro series gets an updated 1/1.3-inch 50-megapixel sensor for its main camera and a redesigned telephoto sensor that Google says captures 32 percent more light. The Pro can also zoom up to 120x and features a 42-megapixel selfie camera. The Pro should be quicker at shooting in the dark, too, with Google claiming its Instant Night Sight can capture photos up to 4.5 times faster.

Google has made several software improvements as well. The new Magic Capture mode in the camera app automatically captures photos and videos to make them ready to share with a tap. Camera Looks let you create custom styles for photos, while the Pixel 11 Pro series can record stabilized video at up to 8K using Pro Stable Video with Video Boost. A new Creator Suite also features tools for trimming and rearranging clips, using a teleprompter while recording, and improving speech clarity, and it automatically saves clips to a designated project album.

How the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 compare

Those are some of the biggest changes, but they’re far from the only differences between the two lineups. For example, both the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro offer an Extreme Charging Mode that prioritizes charging over other tasks for a faster boost when you’re short on time. The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL also gets HiLight, colored LEDs around the camera flash that can alert you to things, like calls when your phone is face down or when Gemini is activated.

For a closer look at those changes and everything else that separates the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro from their predecessors, we’ve broken down the specs side by side below.

If you’ve got international travel coming up, an adapter is essential for keeping your phone, earbuds, power banks, and other gadgets charged. Anker’s Nano Travel Adapter is one of our picks from our guide to the best gadgets for summer travel because it can charge up to five devices at once, yet it’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It’s also available in black for just $19.99 ($6 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Anker (with code WS7DV2BNB82J) matching its best price to date.

Anker Nano Travel Adapter (5-in-1, 20W)

Where to Buy:

The Nano’s four built-in sets of prongs should keep you covered in “over 200 countries and regions,” according to Anker. It also features two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, along with an AC outlet for plugging in a standard wall charger. A single USB-C port delivers up to 20W, which should be enough to get an iPhone 17 to 50 percent in less than 30 minutes. That’s not enough power to charge most laptops, making the USB ports better suited for smaller gadgets like phones, tablets, earbuds, and power banks. You can still charge your laptop, however, by plugging its wall charger into the AC outlet.

What’s more, it’s designed to take up as little space as possible. The adapter’s only an inch thick with its prongs folded in and, at 3.8 ounces, weighs less than a smartphone. Just keep in mind that the Nano doesn’t convert voltage, so you’ll want to make sure gadgets like hair dryers and electric razors support the voltage at your destination before plugging them in.
