That’s alongside a series of Anker Android essentials from $11 and this PowerA MOGA XP5-A Bluetooth smartphone controller at $48.

Today’s Microsoft Surface Duo discount finally makes foldable affordable

Daily Steals is currently offering the AT&T locked Microsoft Surface Duo 128GB Android Smartphone for $410. Originally launching with a $1,400 list price, it recently saw a permanent discount down to $1,000 before today’s offer arrived to deliver a new all-time low at $590 off. This is also $140 under our previous AT&T locked mention.

Delivering a dual AMOLED screen form factor, Microsoft Surface Duo packs a unique smartphone experience with a 360-degree hinge in the center. Everything can fold closed like a book or flipped around for more typical smartphone usage with a single 5.6-inch display. Alongside up to 256GB of storage, there’s USB-C charging and an 11MP camera.

Anker discounts Android essentials from $11

Anker is now closing out the work week by kicking off its latest sale courtesy of Amazon, offering a variety of discounts on everything from iPhone and Android essentials to smart home upgrades and more. Our top pick is the PowerPort Atom III Slim 63W Charging Station for $39. Normally fetching $61, today’s offer amounts to 36% in savings, marks the first notable discount of the year, and is a new all-time low. 

This compact charger delivers a 4-port design that upgrades your setup with a pair of 2.4A USB-A slots. That’s alongside two USB-C ports with either 45W or 18W outputs for refueling everything from your Chromebook to smartphone.

PowerA MOGA XP5-A Bluetooth Android Controller now $48

Amazon is now offering the PowerA MOGA XP5-A Plus Bluetooth Controller for Android/Windows 10 for $48. Regularly $70, this is a 31% price drop, the lowest we have tracked on Amazon this year, and the best we can find.

Designed for Android devices, PC, and cloud gaming, this is an Xbox-style gamepad with a handy (detachable) mobile device clip mounted on the top. Alongside the internal 3000mAh power bank for charging your devices while you’re playing or between sessions, it has injected rubber grips and a pair of custom mappable buttons along the back as well.

Lenovo Smart Tab M10 Plus 128GB down to $220

Amazon is offering Lenovo’s 10.3-inch Smart Tab M10 Plus 128GB Android Tablet for $220. This usually sells for $280, and today’s 21% discount brings the price down to the second best price we’ve ever tracked. The Lenovo Smart Tab Plus brings together a 2.3GHz octa-core processor with a sleek 1080p touchscreen display, so it can keep you on the pulse of your work and personal projects, and makes a solid all-around tablet for games and streaming. It comes paired by a smart charging dock with built-in Alexa. And under the fabric-wrapped exterior, you’ll find dual 3W speakers as well. Plus, you’ve got a 5MP back and 2MP front camera for all things Zoom, as well as making memories at home and on-the-go.
