Nearly a week and a half ago, we told you that Google was offering a special deal that would allow anyone with an iPad no older than 2018’s sixth-generation iPad to get a trade-in value of $399 for their Apple tablet. This happens to be the price for the 128GB dockless Pixel Tablet. So in other words, surrender to Google a sixth-gen iPad or a more recent Apple tablet and you’ll get in return a free Pixel Tablet. If you wanted the 256GB model of the Pixel Tablet, or the Pixel Tablet with the dock, Google was allowing you to trade…
Honor 200 and 200 Pro has been leaked earlier this week, which proved to be a sign that the Chinese handset maker plans to introduce the phones very soon. As it happens, Honor has just posted a teaser on Weibo confirming the 200 series will be unveiled on May 27.Along with Honor’s teaser, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station leaked some of the phones’ key specs, as well as the colorways. For starters, both Honor 200 phones will feature 50-megapixels main cameras with OmniVision OV50H sensors and f/1.9 aperture. Additionally, the telephoto camera will support 50x digital zoom.

Superseded by the Apple Watch Ultra 2 last fall, the OG 2022-released Apple Watch Ultra is obviously no longer the best smartwatch iPhone users can buy. But in many key ways, this rugged timepiece is still a lot better than the newer Apple Watch Series 9, which is why it’s naturally significantly costlier as well.Unless, of course, you get it from Woot, where it’s currently priced at only $438.75 in “grade A” refurbished condition with a titanium case (obviously) and a love-it-or-hate-it white ocean band. That may not sound very cheap by “conventional” smartwatch standards, but it’s important to remember…
Last week, Apple announced that from 2020 through 2023 the company blocked more than $7 billion in potentially fraudulent transactions. Last year, the tech giant stopped more than $1.8 billion in suspicious transactions from going through. During the same time period, Apple also prevented more than 14 million stolen credit cards and 3.3 million accounts from conducting transactions with the App Store.Apple not only shot down attempts to use fraud to pay for purchases in the App Store, it also stopped fraudulent apps from getting listed on the App Store. Last year, over 1.7 million submissions for app listings were…
There are times when you just need to flip a switch and mute the whole world. Top-tier wireless headphones like the Sony WH-1000XM5 can do that. They usually come with great ANC, which silences pesky noises the moment you turn it on. The problem is that such headphones come with pretty hefty price tags, and not everyone is ready to break the bank on new headphones.While the cans in this deal aren’t quite on the level of top dogs like Sony’s flagship headphones, they offer great ANC at a pretty affordable price. We are speaking about the budget-friendly Soundcore Space…

With each new feature added, Threads becomes more powerful and … useful. If we are to compare the app at launch and the one that’s getting regular updates today, the difference is absolutely huge.After managing to stop the massive exodus of initial users, Meta is now pushing its engineers to bring Threads on par with the competition’s app as quickly as possible. That’s one of the reasons that Threads has a lot of new features and improvements in testing.One of the more interesting capabilities that Meta is trying to bring to Threads is a TweetDeck-like experience where users can create…
A few weeks ago, we shared an irresistible Edge+ (2022) deal at Amazon. It would let you get the flagship-grade phone for less than $300. And, while we didn’t think the promo would remain up for grabs for long, it’s still very active today. In other words, you can still save $119 on this device. Mind you, Amazon’s deal is nowhere to be found at rival stores like Best Buy or Walmart. To top it off, you won’t even see the phone at the official store, where only its more contemporary family members are available. In other words, if you’re…
As we’ve become accustomed to hearing this ever since 2023, AI’s reach is growing. Companies are in what seems like a race to include AI features as much as possible, and also working on making more wearable tech. Now, we’re hearing about another use case for AI that Meta is reportedly currently working on. A new report says Meta is working on headphones with cameras and AIA report coming from inside sources (those are unnamed) says that the company is developing headphones with cameras and on-board AI. The social media giant is now reportedly investing resources in this new project.…
The Google Pixel 8a is the latest and arguably one of the best budget phones in the market.And for years, the Pixel name has also been associated with an outstanding camera. But if you follow the series, you know that the camera hardware on the Pixel 8a has not changed much and improvements are happening at a very slow pace. So is the Pixel 8a still the best camera on a $500 phone, or have other companies outcompeted it?The phone has just gone through our extensive PhoneArena Camera Score testing protocol, and here is what we have learned about it.PhonePhoneArenaCamera…
Do you need a new smartwatch but are tired of popular Galaxy and Apple wearables’ unimpressive battery life? The Garmin Vivoactive 5 might be just the right one for you. Unlike some Garmin watches, this bad boy has a gorgeous OLED touchscreen, and guess what? It’s now available at its best price on Amazon, sold at 19% off. We follow prices for this model closely and haven’t encountered such a markdown before. The rare times you can find it at discounted prices, it’s available at 17% off, saving you $50. In fact, almost all colors currently retail at that same…
It was only a couple of days ago that we told you noise-cancelling headphones rarely come cheaper than the $129.99 Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2, and believe it or not, the exact same e-tailer that ran that seemingly unbeatable deal is now here to prove us wrong by charging a measly $64.99 for a different model from the same brand equipped with active noise cancellation.The Skullcandy Hesh ANC are obviously not quite as advanced as the Crusher ANC 2 in a few key departments, offering a lot less battery life and inferior overall audio performance (among other things). But at 65…
Some Bozo is messing around with iPhone users by posting a headline that appears to be from CNBC dated May 15th. The headline says, “Upcoming Apple device update set to remove clown emoji: sources say emoji used as a Far-Right “Dog Whistle.” According to PolitiFact, this is a completely made-up headline and CNBC never posted this story. There is nothing that would indicate the imminent removal of the clown emoji by Apple.The fake headline was posted on an “X” account owned by someone with the username “FullMetalPatriot.” The image shows a legitimate CNBC writer and she did have a story…
Based on last year’s experience, it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that Motorola is working on two new foldable devices set to be released under a couple of different names in different regions at some point over the next few weeks. But the Razr 50, aka Razr (2024), and the Razr 50 Ultra, aka Razr Plus (2024), are not as predictable and as repetitive as you might think from a hardware specification perspective, preparing to see daylight with quite a few substantial upgrades over their predecessors, according to several reliable sources.Ultra screens for the “regular” Razr 50As impressive as the…
