TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALs
I don’t know about you guys, but I often forget to plug in my (somewhat ancient) iPhone 8 Plus almost every other night, despite the cord being right on my nightstand. I’m sure there are a couple of folks who do the same thing, and I’m here to tell you we don’t have to suffer anymore. The Anker Powerwave charging stand duo are grouped in one package for $26, no code necessary.
You can charge both iPhones and Androids at a pretty good speed. The best part is that you don’t have to take off your phone case to get a good charge! It can deliver power with cases up to 5mm thick, so don’t worry about your phone mysteriously falling and breaking its back on the cold, hard floor. I’d grab this duo before it is gone!

Stop buying all those cheap regular batteries. Sure, you can pay $5 for a 24-pack, but how many of those are you buying over the course of a year? Not to mention having to dispose of them, which many people don’t take proper environment-saving measures to do. Instead, pick up a 4-pack of AA rechargeable Energizer batteries for $7.
They’re rated to go up to five years under typical usage patterns, and these 2,000mAh NiMH cells are compatible with most standard battery chargers, like this cheap one you can purchase for $6 if you don’t already have one.
Through July 5, save 21% on an Anker USB-C hub that has four USB-A 3.0 ports and a 4K HDMI port. Normally $76, your damages come down to $60 with exclusive promo code KINJAPWHUB. The puck can be used standalone, but when you plug it into a wall, you’ll get 30W charging for MacBooks and other Power Delivery laptops, plus up to 7.5W charging for smartphones, tablets, and other devices in the first USB port. All others are data-only.
The sweet spot for quality true wireless earbuds tends to hover around $50, but SoundPeats woos you to try its TrueFree wireless earbuds with a $6 on-page coupon and an extra $3 off with promo code 792CUFIB. You’re paying just $24 after the discount for a pair of buds with Bluetooth 5.0, up to 4 hours of runtime with 35 hours total in the case, and a one-year warranty to cover your butt in case anything goes wrong.
You can add 1TB of solid state Samsung memory to your PC for $100 after a $30 discount on Samsung’s 860 QVO model. That’s the daily Gold Box deal featured at Amazon today. This is a 2.5″ SATA 3 drive that can fit in either desktop or laptop. With 100/90 MB/s of read/write speed, it’ll run laps around any mechanical drive you have, so be sure to upgrade if your PC could use a big, cheap speed boost.
With most kids home from school by now and many unable to kill hours at the park making fragile sandcastles with local friends, Alexa could be the ultimate alternative. If you’re not weirded out by your little ones talking to an AI robotic voice—which you shouldn’t if they’ve already resorted to their imaginary buddies—the Amazon Echo Dot Kids Edition could be the perfect substitute. Amazon is knocking $20 off the cost of one. Your total is $50.
The Echo Dot Kids Edition is just like any other Echo Dot, giving you hands-free access to countless Alexa skills. The difference here is that it has a funky fun color scheme, the skills are all child-friendly, and there’s enough parental control to give you peace of mind.
Kids can ask Alexa to read them a bedtime story or play music, and with a year of FreeTime Unlimited included with every purchase, they’ll never run out of things to check out.

If you’re someone who is looking for versatile quality headphones today’s deal might be for you. These Nubwo gaming headphones are currently 59% off and are a top-rated item for Amazon.
When I put my headphones on or earbuds in and jump into a world whatever game I’m playing I need to know they can handle a few things. If it’s a game where I need to be in contact with my team I need a crisp and clear speaker. I was a huge Playerunknown Battleground with a bunch of my old coworkers so having built-in mic with low distortion was super important. Knowing I was going to have those suckers on my ears for a few hours too factored in so comfort was a key factor as well. These headphones are rated high on ergonomics. They have a padded headband and their cozy leatherette ear cups will be just fine for any game you’re logging some hours on. And don’t worry about what system you subscribe to these bad boys are compatible with PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile.
Free shipping for Prime members.

Needed a good reason to give Visible a try? We’d say getting a $200 gift card with your purchase of one of the best mid-range phones on the market qualifies. The Samsung Galaxy A51 is on tap for $408, or $17 per month for qualified buyers.
Factoring in the Mastercard virtual account you’ll get after your first two months, you’re essentially paying just above $200 for a smartphone with a 6.5″ Super AMOLED display, a 48MP quad camera, in-display fingerprint, octa-core Exynos performance with 4GB of RAM, and more, all running on Verizon’s 4G LTE network through Visible’s no-nonsense plans.

The Apple Watch Series 3 is the last one I ever owned, so you know it’s coming from experience when I say I regret ever getting rid of it. While the newer, flashier models come with thinner bezels and always-on displays, I never felt like I was sorely missing out on those features. You can still use the Apple Watch Series 3 to track fitness activity, listen to music, and check your heartbeat. Now $30 off on Amazon, bring home the 38mm GPS model today.

TODAY’S BEST GAMING DEALS
I don’t care if you can barely move around your desk without knocking over one of several hundred figurines you already own. I just don’t. You have to buy this Super Mario figurine set featuring 20 pieces of the franchise’s most memorable characters for only $26. They’re small enough to be cake toppers, and there’s this cool functionality where you can just lick the frosting off and repurpose them as play things.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (Switch) | $50 | Amazon
Somewhere in a galaxy far, far away, someone, somehow, hasn’t played a LEGO Star Wars game. If that’s you, now is your chance to play through the events of all nine films from The Skywalker Saga, with the collection discounted to $50 on both Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. You can start your adventure from any point you like, so skip all that boring stuff on Tatooine and go hang out with Jar Jar on Naboo where the real fun is.
In her review for Kotaku, Tina Amini called Sleeping Dogs “like Grand Theft Auto, but with a focus on kung fu.” If that sounds up your alley, the PC version of its Definitive Editionis on sale for $3 on Amazon. Set in Hong Kong, you assume the role of a gangster named Wei Shen, who feels more like a weapon than a fighter to play as. “It’s about family, corruption, loyalty,” Amini said. Should your backlog allow for it, United Front Games’ open-world sandbox was an unanticipated delight when it originally launched in 2012.
Nioh 2 (PS4) | $37 | Amazon
Team Ninja has another banger in Nioh 2, the souls-like Iaction RPG that only knows PS4 as its home. If you’ve exhausted your backlog and looking for something new to play, you can pick the special edition up at Amazon right now for $23 off, or a final total of $57. The standard copy is also on sale for $37.
The special edition comes with a few extra niceties for the few extra dollars they’re requiring, including a steelbook case, an art book, and the season pass that’ll presumably put you in line for all the DLC that release down the road.
Here’s how Heather Alexandra at Kotaku starts off in her long evaluative look at Nioh 2:
The Dark Souls formula is tried and true. It’s been adapted into science fiction settings, placed into 2D, and refined time and time again. 2017’s Nioh is arguably the most successful spin on the genre, adding flashy combat and the turbulent politics of medieval Japan. Nioh 2 is an improvement on every front. There’s no other way of saying it: I’ve never played a game where fighting feels as good as this.
Sold? Buy.

Greatness may be awaiting the PS5 launch targeting late 2020, but you can get a headstart on your PlayStation Plus subscription renewal (likely still required for online multiplayer and monthly freebies) at CDKeys. $31 nets a whole year, about half the price you’d otherwise spend on Amazon.

For gaming mice, weight is an important factor that can make all the difference between game-changing ult and an embarrassing misplay. (We all know it wasn’t lag, man. Just fess up!) But all gamers aren’t created equal. If you prefer a lighter mouse, check out the Razer Viper, coming in at just 69g, and with a 16K optical sensor, your crosshairs will move like ice on tile. It’s just $50 at Amazon, which is even cheaper than you could find it this past Black Friday.
Tropico 6 (Xbox One) | $20 | Amazon

Today, you can score a wired Nintendo Switch controller by PDP that resembles a GameCube pad, which some Super Smash Bros. purists will tell you is one of many prerequisites to call yourself a true fighter.

Crash Bandicoot fanatics need to jump on this pre-order deal for a hardcover book featuring artwork from the Crash Bandicoot 4‘s creators, given it’s now 31% off.

Nobody likes a messy home, but cleaning isn’t exactly a fun chore for a lot of people. A good vacuum cleaner won’t alleviate those woes, but it will make it easier to get through your cleaning. Dyson’s V6 Absolute isn’t the most powerful in the company’s arsenal, but it’s still a darn good cleaner. It’s cordless and can run up to 20 minutes per charge, so not the longest battery life, but enough to get through most rooms. It can also shrink down into a compact cleaner, which is great for tough-to-reach spots, and cleaning up the car after a weekend outing. Right now, it’s $70 off at Newegg, bringing the price down to just $160.

Since Florida is unsurprisingly a hot mess outside of it usually being one let the sunshine state come to you with a flamboyance of flamingos. That’s what a group of them are called and given the savings on this on you could in fact fill your yard and still not blow the bank. Inflated one of these is 116″ x 100″ x 68″ which is sizable.

Or it can just be you alone floating along in a pink paradise quadruple fisting. If you’ve been thinking of throwing an island party saving $76 on a hilarious prop for inside or out isn’t bad. Just don’t tiki your time to think about it.
