Get 6 months of unlimited talk and text with 50GB of LTE data for $100
I admit that cellular provider Black Wireless is new to me, but it’s an AT&T MVNO (owned by Red Pocket Mobile) that’s been around since about 2011, offering an assortment of both monthly and pay-as-you-go plans.

Anker’s crushing it in the audio department. Late last year, I found a lot to love in the company’s new true-wireless Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro. And today I’m here to gush over an over-the-ear wireless headphone that just shouldn’t sound this good at this price: The Soundcore Life Q10 for $27.99 when you clip the on-page $2-off coupon. That’s $2 …

Growing up, one of my mom’s biggest pet peeves was pulling together a grocery list, doing the week’s shopping, getting all the way home and realizing something was forgotten. Trying to get everyone to focus and add what they want to the grocery list is almost impossible. The text that said “Can you pick up shampoo?” on Tuesday will be …

I began this ongoing review of the Galaxy S20 Ultra knowing that Samsung’s redesigned camera system and its massive 5,000-mAh battery would make or break the phone. I’ve spent the past few days testing its 108-megapixel main sensor and up-to-100x AI-assisted camera zoom, looking for reasons to use these over-the-top features in real life. I finally found it. But during my day …

Samsung’s limited edition, Stormtrooper-themed robot vacuum has apparently come and gone, too beautiful to live in this harsh world. But while it’s mostly unavailable (or, since it’s going as high as $1,500 with some third-party Amazon sellers, priced beyond the reach of a sane person), you can currently get the POWERbot Star Wars Limited Edition Stormtrooper Robotic Vacuum Cleaner for …

Samsung’s new folding Z Flip has impressed us in our full review process. CNET editor Jessica Dolcourt even went so far as to call it “the best foldable phone I’ve ever used.” Big words, when the competition is heating up with the likes of the Motorola Razr, Huawei Mate X and Samsung’s own Galaxy Fold.
