Alongside Best Buy’s updated 2026 Back to School sale and Amazon restocking Galaxy Fold 8 with the $350 gift card and enhanced trade-in values, today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by Pixel 10a at up to nearly $120 off ahead of Pixel 11 launch and Nothing Headphone (a) dropping even lower – all colors are now at $159. We also have Anker’s 2026 Back to School sale from $10 and up to $1,125 off Copilot+ PCs and gaming machines at Best Buy. Scope it all out down below. 

Best Buy updates 2026 Back to School sale: TVs under $500, Bose $130 off, Apple gear, Ninja kitchen, much more

Galaxy Z Fold 8 back in stock at Amazon: Up to $600 trade value + $350 gift card, more

While Samsung has cut trade-in values and the bonus $100 off discount code on Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8, there is still some notable savings options with the bonus $200 in store credit. That said, Amazon’s listing on Fold 8 is now back in stock with a FREE $350 gift card and up to $600 in trade-in value on the gear you might actually have to flip, and Best Buy’s offers are still live. 

If you are still looking to score a new Fold 8/Ultra, the Best Buy and, especially, Amazon offers are by and large your best option. Unless you’re specifically looking to bundle in the new Galaxy Watch 9 or Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 you can land at over $200 off with your phone order directly at Samsung, the overall savings elsewhere are a better option:

***Note: Both retailers are also offering FREE gift cards with straight up purchases and trade-in offers – be sure to check the value of your trade-in at both to get the best offer.

You will either way want to double check the trade-in value for the specific device you have at Samsung as well though and, again, you will get a lower price on the new watches when added to the same cart as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Fold 8 Ultra:

Pixel 10a up to nearly $120 off ahead of Pixel 11 launch this week

The Pixel 11 series smartphone launch is just days away now, but for those looking to side step the premium price tag for Google’s most affordable current-gen handset, both Amazon and Best Buy are serving up some deals this week. Amazon has brand new unlocked Pixel 10a models at $75 off right now, and you’ll find up to nearly $120 off Best Buy’s “excellent” condition open-box units. Details below. 

Amazon’s $75 price drops on new condition units are still live on both the 128GB and 256GB model, and in all four colorways:

Best Buy, however, is serving up a chance to score these devices for even less by way of its “excellent” condition open-box units. You’ll find offers on both storage capacities, and in select colors as listed below:

Nothing Headphone (a) drops even lower: All colors now at $159 + more from $69

Just after the debut and launch deal on the brand new Nothing CMF Clip Pro open earbuds at $79, we are kicking the week off with a number price drops on the Nothing lineup. Alongside smartwatches from $69 and Nothing Headphone (1) down at $219, we are also getting an even lower price on the newer Nothing Headphone (a) down at $159 shipped in all four colors. 

Amazon is now offering Nothing Headphone (a) down at $159 shipped in all four colors. 

Regularly $199, this is a solid 20% in savings and among the best deals we have tracked since launch earlier this year. We spotted a couple color options down at $165 last week, both those models have now dropped even lower and are now joined by the rest of the paint jobs in the lineup. 

While we did catch them, on and off, down at $151 or so during this year’s Prime Day festivities, today’s deal is otherwise the best we have tracked with all four colors at the discounted rate. 

We said Nothing Headphone (a) “might be the best deal in over-ear headphones at $199” after testing them out ourselves, and you can now get them for even less than that. 

Anker’s 2026 Back to School sale drops chargers, power banks, and Qi2.2 gear back to Prime Day lows from just $10 (46% off)

Anker is now running a Back to School sale across its lineup of accessories, with promo code SCHOOL20 taking 20% off sitewide on chargers, power banks, cables, charging stations, and more. The brand’s official Amazon storefront is matching many of those offers as well, while also serving up a few additional discounts of its own across popular models. There are deals on everything from compact Nano chargers and multi-port laptop bricks to MagSafe charging gear, power banks, and other everyday accessories. Many of the Amazon offers are bringing prices back down to the same all-time lows we tracked during the recent Prime Day sale, giving you another shot at those best-ever prices without having to wait for the next major shopping event. If you’re putting together a new school or work setup, or simply need to refresh your charging gear, there are plenty of solid Anker deals worth checking out right now.

Anker’s 2026 Back to School sale is now live

The brand’s official Amazon storefront has added a handful of new deals to the mix, and we’ve highlighted those below along with some of the existing offers for you to check out.

One of the standout offers in the sale brings Anker’s latest 45W Nano USB-C charger with a Smart Display back down to $25.99 shipped. Regularly $40, today’s deal takes $16 off and matches the all-time low we saw during the recent Prime Day sale. That’s 35% off, beating the offer we’re tracking directly at Anker. This is one of Anker’s newer compact chargers, and all available finishes are currently sitting at the same $25.99 low. Its built-in Smart Display can recognize supported iPhone models, optimize charging for safer power delivery, and show useful charging details alongside a few quirky animations. You also get up to 45W output through its single USB-C port, while the foldable prongs keep the whole thing compact enough for travel, a tech bag, or everyday carry.

We saw this laptop drop to $950 just last month, but today’s offer takes an additional $150 off. This configuration features Intel’s Core Ultra 7 Series 3 processor, 16GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD, along with a 16-inch 1920 x 1200 touchscreen that supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung also rates the battery of this notebook for up to 24 hours with fast charging support.
