Smartphones and Tablets
The Google Pixel 9a already holds the crown for the best affordable phone, and a further $150 discount makes it practically irresistible. Packed with a flagship Tensor G4 chip, a reliable dual-camera system, and an impressive seven years of software support, it’s a fantastic choice for anyone seeking premium features on a budget. For those wanting more power, the newer Pixel 10 series is also discounted.
Initially launched at a higher price, the OnePlus 13R now sees a $100 price cut, returning it to its attractive $500 point. Don’t let the “budget” label fool you; it boasts a stunning 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and is powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip found in last year’s top-tier Android phones. It’s a strong contender, especially if you prefer a larger screen and extended battery life.
While the base 2024 iPad is a steal at $279, the newer 11-inch iPad Air offers significantly more power and future-proofing, including support for Apple Intelligence. It handles the advanced multitasking in iPadOS 26 with ease and is compatible with the high-end Apple Pencil Pro. For Android tablet fans, the OnePlus Pad 3 is a top-tier choice, delivering stellar performance with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, excellent speakers, and a versatile multitasking system, though it lacks a fingerprint sensor.
A 10-inch tablet for just $70 is an unbelievable value, even within Amazon’s ecosystem. The Fire HD 10 features an octa-core processor that’s perfectly capable for streaming, a decent full HD screen, and can function as an Echo Show speaker.
The Kindle Colorsoft finally brings vibrant color to the beloved e-reader format, a dream come true for comic book fans. It retains the familiar 7-inch, glare-resistant screen of the Paperwhite and includes 16GB of storage for $200. For a more premium experience, the Signature Edition offers additional storage, longer battery life, and wireless charging.
