Google Pixel 6a lands at $299 low with delivery before Christmas
Amazon is now offering one last chance to put the Google Pixel 6a under the Christmas tree without paying full price. Normally fetching $449, you can now score Google’s latest entry-level handset at the all-time low of $299 shipped in one of three colors. This is matching our previous Black Friday mention and is still one of the first times we’ve seen it drop this low.
Google Pixel 6a arrives as the brand’s latest handset, taking a slightly more affordable approach from last year’s 6/Pro handsets. There’s still the same Google Tensor chipset at the center of the experience, with a 6.1-inch FHD+ 60Hz display being paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. You can also expect to enjoy 24-hour battery life, as well as all of the usual photography features packed into the 12MP wide and 12MP ultrawide lenses around back. Our hands-on review offers a better idea of what to expect, as well.
Sony’s new XM5 ANC Headphones return to $348 low
Sony launched its latest flagship ANC headphones earlier this summer, and now ahead of Christmas, you can lock-in one last chance to save. Amazon now offers the Sony WH-1000XM5 ANC Headphones for $348 in two different styles, which is down from the usual $398 going rate. This is a match of the all-time low at $50 off and still only the second time it has been at this price.
Sony’s new XM5 headphones arrive as the latest addition to its series of popular cans backed by some of the best active noise cancellation on the market. This time around there’s a completely refreshed design that now arrives with 30-hour battery life to go alongside the new Integrated Processor V1 for improved playback. That new exterior is comprised of soft fit leather with a lightweight build rounding out the package alongside multipoint Bluetooth connectivity.
Samsung PRO 512GB microSDXC card hits $56
Amazon is now offering the Samsung PRO Plus 512GB microSDXC for $56. This model launched in late 2021 at $109 and has since dropped down to settle in the $68 to $75 range. Today’s deal is within $1 of the all-time low and the price we tracked over Black Friday last month. This model reaches speeds up to 160MB/s that makes for a notable option for a camera, drone, or gaming rig with U3, Class10 rated read/write speeds, A2 app loading comparable to most of the modern solutions out there, and notable protection against the elements. Samsung also claims it can handle “up to 72 hours in seawater” alongside safeguards against extreme temperatures, x-rays, magnetic situations, and drops, all backed by a 10-year limited warranty. Check out our hands-on review of the brand’s latest speed-focused microSDs.
Fossil’s new Carlie Gen 6 Hybrid Smartwatches see first discounts
Amazon is now offering the Fossil Carlie Gen 6 Hybrid Smartwatch for $180 in several styles when clipping the on-page coupon. Normally fetching $229, you’re looking at the very first price cut since launching earlier in the year with $49 in savings stacking up to deliver a new all-time low. Sporting a circular screen design, the Fossil Carlie takes on a different approach thanks to an e-ink panel that steps in over your usual color display.
That lets it deliver on the hybrid naming scheme, pairing a traditional watch mechanism with the added smart features for showing off notifications and fitness metrics. Which speaking off, the Gen 6 smartwatch can monitor everything from workouts and heart rate to wellness, sleep, and SpO2. We just recently reviewed the Wellness edition of the latest Fossil wearable.
Philips Hue Gradient lamps with addressable RGB lighting on sale
Amazon is now offering the new Philips Hue Gradient Signe Floor Lamp for $250 after clipping the on-page coupon. Normally fetching $320, you’re looking at a new all-time low of $70 off. This is $20 below our previous Black Friday mention and only the second chance to save. Arriving as one of the more unique expansions of the Philips Hue Gradient series, this Signe floor lamp packs an upright design that can paint a corner, the sides of your TV, and other spots in your home with all of the usual colors that you’d expect.
Though stepping up from other models, the internal lighting array features individually-addressable LEDs for more creative color pallets or syncing on-screen content to the ambient lights in your home theater. Compatible with Bluetooth or Zigbee, this can connect with Siri, Alexa, and Assistant, too. Plus, shop other lamps here.
