After two days’ worth of iPhone deals, let’s turn our attention to Android, shall we? Specifically, the Samsung Galaxy S8, which was Samsung’s flagship just over a year ago. I’ve got two options for you. First, Boost Mobile has the preowned Galaxy S8 for $299.99, a price that includes a $50 Boost Mobile credit. See …

School starts soon. For some, really soon. If you’ve been procrastinating buying a new laptop for your student, I’ve got one that might be a good fit. For a limited time, Walmart has the Acer Chromebook R11 for $239 shipped (plus tax). It normally runs $279, and this configuration was $329 when it was introduced back in 2016. See it …

Just a few weeks ago, Sprint unveiled a pretty tempting (and short-lived) offer on the iPhone 8: $8 per month when you sign up for a Sprint Flex plan. Today, the carrier has a similar deal lined up for Apple’s best phone (for now): The iPhone X for $5 per month. Once again, that’s with an 18-month Sprint Flex plan …

Remember two years ago, when the iPhone 6S was still Apple’s flagship phone and the iPhone 7 had yet to launch the no-headphone-jack era? You’d have paid a jaw-dropping $649 for the 16GB model. When the iPhone 7 debuted, Apple dropped the price to $549 and upped the storage to 32GB. Still. Today, and for a limited time, MetroPCS is …

Cheap things come to those who wait. If you were tempted, for example, to buy an Amazon Fire tablet during Prime Day, you were smart to hold off: For a limited time, you can get the Fire HD 8 (32GB) tablet for $60. It normally sells for $110, and the lowest it’s been — ever — is $80. See it at …

If you’re a Facebook regular, you’ve probably seen your share of ads for some “amazing” tech products, the kind that leave users “totally blown away” and are on sale now for “incredible prices!” More often than not, these ads are accompanied by some pretty compelling videos and a hard-to-bypass “Buy Now” button. My advice: Think before you tap. Not all …

A quick update regarding yesterday’s 6-deal roundup: The Tacklife rotary tool had promo-code problems (and limited inventory), but the vendor has promised to repeat the deal soon. If you missed out, stay tuned! Surface Go? I say Surface no. I don’t get Microsoft’s new tablet at all. It’s under-powered, too small to be of practical use and still sold without …

It was a pretty typical weekend project: My daughter’s graduation party was coming up, so I wanted to put together a photo slideshow. Of course, like most parents, my wife and I had years’ worth of photos trapped on our iPhones. How could we quickly and easily move them to a laptop and into a slideshow-builder? It proved a surprisingly …

Let’s get a jump-start on holiday shopping, shall we? I mean, I know you already have all the Bluetooth speakers you could possibly need, but Secret-Santa, Yankee-Swap and 5th-night-of-Chanukah time will be here before you know it. This speaker is the perfect cheap gift candidate. For a limited time, and while supplies last, the VicTsing 5W wireless speaker is $12.49 …

Got an old tablet lying around? I’m a huge fan of repurposing it into a full-time digital photo frame. (Indeed, it’s at the top of my list of new uses for old tablets.) I say this as someone who’s owned an actual, dedicated photo frame for years — one that cost around $150 when I bought it. I love it; …
