New Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is already $100 off as pre-orders start

Amazon is offering pre-orders on the new Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 128GB at $599.99 shipped. Also at B&H. That’s $100 off the price of this new Android smartphone that was just announced yesterday. There’s a lot to like on this mid-range Android smartphone, which centers around a 6.5-inch 1080p AMOLED display and is powered by a Snapdragon 865 Octa-Core CPU. Notable features include a triple camera system with dual 12MP optics and a single 8MP lens. Even at its full list price of $700, we noted that “the Galaxy S20 FE seems like a pretty spectacular deal.” Learn more in yesterday’s converage.

Oculus Quest 2 arrives today from $299 with upgrades all around

The second-generation of the Oculus Quest has just been announced starting at $299 with eyes on replacing both the original version and the PC-connected Rift S. Facebook is opening pre-orders today as it confirmed the specs of a product that have largely been leaked to the public in recent months. Today’s announcement brings many of those leaks to fruition alongside a lighter and slimmer version of the original. Oculus has managed to shave nearly 70 grams off with its new version, which is exciting when you consider that, you know, it’s worn on your face. You can find full details on the Oculus Quest 2 down below.

There’s also a universal build, which makes it a suitable companion for iPhones and various Android devices. Being that it covers so much ground, the PowerCore Play 6K is a unique offering that differs from other gaming-first controllers we’ve seen on the market.

google pixel 4a

Google Pixel 4a deals abound to start September

We’ve spotted a handful of Google Pixel 4a deals today headlined by Visible offering a $100 Mastercard gift card with purchase for $360. You will need to sign-up for service at checkout as well. That equates to $90 in savings and is one of the best pre-paid offers we’ve seen to date.

Meanwhile, other retailers are also offering a couple of Pixel 4a deals worth a look, as well. Best Buy is taking $50 off at $299.99 when you activate the same day. Meanwhile, Verizon has brought back its $10 per month for 24-months offer we saw back in mid-August. Both of which require longer contracts than today’s featured deal but less cash up front.

Pixel 4a is a follow-up to the previous-generation model that was wildly popular with 9to5 readers. This time around, you’ll get a 5.8-inch HD display with 128GB of storage, dual cameras, and a Snapdragon 730 2.2GHz processor. We called it a “superb smartphone on a budget” in our hands-on review. Early ratings at Amazon agree.
