All of today’s best deals are now headlined by Samsung’s already-affordable Galaxy A53 5G, which now drops to an all-time low of $349. That’s joined by the first price cuts on Fossil’s new Carlie Gen 6 Hybrid Smartwatches from $180, as well as Case-Mate’s just-released retro 30W USB-C GaN Chargers hitting $24. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Samsung’s already-affordable Galaxy A53 5G falls even lower to $349
Amazon is now offering the unlocked Samsung Galaxy A53 5G 128GB Android Smartphone for $349. Arriving at the all-time low, this drops down from the usual $450 going rate in order to deliver $101 in savings. We’ve previously seen it sell for $1 more, beating our last mention from earlier in the holidays.
Samsung’s most recent budget-friendly handset is now even more affordable, delivering a series of midrange specs like a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED screen and Exynos 1280 chipset. Packed into the IP67 water-resistant casing, there’s a 5,000mAh battery, which can be refueled via the 25W fast charging-enabled USB-C port. Samsung rounds out the package with the inclusion of microSD card expansion. Dive into our launch coverage to get a closer look at the experience.
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 of – 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.
Case-Mate’s just-released retro 30W USB-C GaN Chargers on sale for $24
Amazon is now offering the just-released Case-Mate Translucent 30W USB-C GaN Charger starting at $24. Normally fetching $30, this delivers only the third discount to date so far. It stacks up to 20% in savings while matching the second-best price to date that has only been beaten once by a limited-time Black Friday offer.
Arriving in one of four different colors, Case-Mate’s latest charger arrives with some retro flair thanks to translucent designs straight out of the 1990s and early 2000s. It features a 30W output over the single USB-C port and comes backed by GaN technology. There’s notably a folding plug design to complete the package that you can read all about in our launch coverage.
Google’s latest Pixel 7/Pro undercut Black Friday pricing
Going on sale for one of the first times, Amazon is now offering another chance to lock-in better than Thanksgiving Week pricing on Google’s latest smartphones. Leading the way, the new Pixel 7 Pro is sitting at $731. Down from $899, you’re looking at the second-best discount yet with $167 in savings. This is still one of the first price cuts, too, and $17 under our previous mention. Packed into a refreshed design that still delivers the same size 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz screen as before, Pixel 7 Pro arrives as Google’s most capable handset yet. The updated build also houses a new camera assembly on the back of the handset, which comes centered around a 50MP main sensor, 12MP ultrawide lens, and upgraded 48MP telephoto zoom capabilties. All of that comes powered by the new second-generation Tensor G2 chip which is complemented by 128GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. We break down all of the details in our launch coverage, as well.
Those return to Black Friday savings are also applying to the new Google Pixel 7, with Amazon offering the 128GB model for $482. Normally fetching $599, this is one of the first cash discounts at $116 off and a new all-time low via the retailer. Pixel 7 arrives with much of the same enhancements as its larger counterpart, coming centered around a 6.3-inch FHD display that now boasts a faster 90Hz refresh rate with 1,400-nit peak brightness. There’s much of the same Tensor G2 performance, as well as a dual sensor rear camera array that comes outfitted into a refreshed design.
Score a last-minute holiday Wi-Fi upgrade with Google’s Nest system
Amazon is now offering the Google Nest Wifi 2-Node Mesh System for $129. Normally fetching $299, you’re looking at a new all-time low at $170 off. This is well below our previous mention of $175 from earlier in the fall, too.
Google’s Nest Wifi system provides up to 4,400-square feet of 802.11ac coverage to your space thanks to the 2-node setup with support for up to 2.2Gb/s speeds in tow. Alongside handling all of your home’s Wi-Fi connectivity, the included main router doubles as an Assistant speaker. To complete the package, you’ll also find four Gigabit Ethernet ports on the system. It might be cutting it close, but the before Christmas delivery means you can lock-in a new mesh system to refresh the Wi-Fi before the in-laws come over. You can get a closer look in our hands-on review.
