All of today’s best deals are now up for the taking, headlined by the first discount of the year on Google’s official 30W USB-C Charger Kit at $27. That’s then joined by a 1-day sale on Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A8 from $140, as well as a notable spring savings event on the DJI Air 2S Drone. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Google’s official 30W USB-C charger kit is a perfect Pixel 7/Pro companion
Amazon is currently offering the official Google 30W USB-C Charger and Cable for $27. While you’d more regularly pay $35, today’s offer delivers the first discount of the year at 23% off. It comes within cents of the all-time low, and is also the first price cut we’ve seen since the Pixel 7 launched last fall.
Google’s official 30W charging bundle was designed to deliver improved refuel times to its latest 7 and 7 Pro smartphones and is as notable of an addition to your everyday carry as it is for having a second charging station at the desk or elsewhere in your home. The compact wall adapter pairs with a 1-meter USB-C cable to complete the package, all with the official Google seal of approval attached. Our in-depth hands-on review details exactly how the charger stacks up and how it compares to third-party alternatives, too.
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A8 tablets now start from $140
Today only, as part of its Gold Box Deals of the Day, Amazon is offering some-solid price drops on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 10.5-inch Android Tablets. You’ll find the 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB configurations marked down to $139.99, $179.99, and $199.99 shipped. Regularly $230, $280, and $330 respectively, all three are now at the lowest prices we can find. While we have seen them floating in and around prices lower than the regular listings you’ll find at Best Buy and elsewhere via Amazon, today’s deals come within $1 of the lowest we have tracked on the two lighter capacities and deliver a match for the best we have seen on the 128GB variant.
Centered around a 10.5-inch display and the Galaxy ecosystem to work alongside your Samsung smartphone and even laptop, the Galaxy Tab A8 is a notable tablet companion without breaking the bank. The up to 128GB of onboard storage (expandable up to 1TB with a microSD card) joins the ability to “go for hours on a single charge” before the included USB-C charging cable is needed.
DJI Air 2S quadcopters land at Amazon lows from $849
Amazon is now offering the DJI Air 2S Folding Quadcopter for $849. Normally fetching $999, this is one of the first chances to save on the drone itself, with $150 in savings attached. It is the lowest we’ve seen from Amazon, but the second-best of all-time following a drop to $799 last April. The Air 2S Fly More Combo is also on sale and dropping down to $1,109 at Amazon, saving you the same 15% from its usual $1,299 going rate.
Regardless of which listing you score, this is a notable way to bring home one of the latest DJI quadcopters for far less than retail just in time for spring flights. Packed into a familiar folding form-factor, the Air 2S drone arrives with an aerial photography-ready 1-inch 20 MP camera sensor capable of 5.4K video recording. That’s alongside 31 minutes of flight time for each of the two batteries and tons of other accessories to round out the package. You can also get a closer look in our hands-on review.
Nanoleaf Lines bring customizable ambient lighting to your Siri setup at $180
Just after seeing some of the other additions in the Nanoleaf stable refreshed with Matter support this morning, we’re now tracking a chance to save on one of the brand’s flashier offerings. Courtesy of Nanoleaf’s official Amazon storefront, you can now score its new Lines HomeKit Light Starter Set for $180. That’s down from the usual $200 going rate in order to deliver one of the first discounts of the year. Delivering the first drop we’ve seen since the beginning of the 2023, this is also the lowest price since back over the Black Friday shopping season. You can get a better idea of what to expect in our hands-on review.
Delivering yet another unique addition to the Nanoleaf smart home stable, the new Lines pack all the same modularity that the brand is known for with a different take on ambient lighting. Each of the nine included Lines pair with an adapter and can be stuck up on the wall in various patterns. They then splash light against the wall and sport the same multicolor output that lets them play various effects on top of your typical adjustable color and brightness settings. Not to mention support with HomeKit, Siri, and your other typical voice assistants that rounds out the package.
Skullcandy Dime true Wireless earbuds are even more affordable at $19 low
Back when we first reviewed the Skullcandy Dime earbuds at launch, we remarked at how compelling the listening experience was for just $25. In those past two years, so much has changed with the earbuds lineup, but one thing that remains the same is just how good of a value these buds are. Amazon is making them even more affordable today, too, dropping the Skullcandy Dime True Wireless Earbuds to $19. This is down from the original $25 MSRP and the elevated $26 going rate we’ve been tracking for the past year, delivering 27% in savings. This is $1 under our previous mention and a new all-time low, too.
Skullcandy Dime earbuds may arrive at an impressively affordable price point further accentuated by today’s deal, there’s plenty of value here. Alongside 12-hour battery life, these pack IPX4 water resistant for tagging along on workouts. Plus, there’s a compact charging case that won’t take up too much space in your bag. We took a hands-on look in a Tested with 9to5Toys review and found them to be quite capable offerings for dedicated workout buds or just an affordable way to get in the true wireless game.
