Grab a new Pixel 4 in black or Oh So Orange for just $399, today only
Woot is selling new phones in 64GB or 128GB, with free shipping for Prime members
The Pixel 4 had a few issues at launch, but one of the most common complaints was its high price. A year and a half later, there are now consistent deals on the phone, making it worthy of consideration if you're looking for a high-end Google handset. Woot has one such deal for US buyers today: a new, unlocked model starting at just $399, a full $400 off the original retail price.
MicroSD cards are still a popular storage medium — all the manufacturers include full SD-size adapters anyways, so they make for easy gifts to anyone who has a camera that's not a phone. In any case, we may have passed the commodity event horizon where these cards cost so little on their own, but would be better bought in bulk on sale. Luckily enough, Best Buy has the best price on SanDisk Ultra Plus 128GB cards today only.
Samsung is one of the best and most-respected names in the storage biz. It's probably among the most friendly companies to storage addicts; the Galaxy S10, for instance, is offered with 1TB of storage and a microSD slot. The company's U3-rated EVO Select 256GB microSD card is currently just , with the 128GB version available for .The EVO Select's U3 rating means that the minimum sequential write speed is 30MB/s, compared with most other cards' U1 (10MB/s) base speed. This is especially helpful if you intend to transfer a lot of files or record in 4K or higher framerates. These cards carry 10-year warranties, though you'll probably never need to use it.
It's pretty mind-blowing how cheap storage has gotten. Back in 2013, a 32GB microSD card for $20 was considered a good deal. But here we are in 2019, and Amazon is offering a 128GB SanDisk Ultra microSD card for just .54 as part of a Lightning Deal. If you want one, you'll have to hurry — they're going quickly.This 128GB Ultra card carries Class 10 and U1 ratings. The minimum sequential writing speed of 10MB/s isn't great if you're doing a lot of file transfers, but it should be fine for most people. And at $17.54 for 128GB of microSD storage, you really can't complain much.
External storage is always a great option if you're looking at expanding your phone's internal memory or transferring data from one device to another. It's also usually cheaper than buying a handset with greater onboard capacity, and more convenient as you can keep it when switching phones. If you're looking at a new microSD card, PNY's well-rated high-speed products just hit an all-time low on Amazon, with some models costing 47% less than their MSRP.All cards are water-, shock-, and X-ray proof, come with a built-in SD adapter, and feature Class 10 and U3 ratings, allowing them to be particularly performant. The 32GB and 64GB models can go as fast as 90MB/s, while the 128GB and 256GB cards offer read speeds of up to 100MB/s. The last two are also compatible with V30 and A1 standards, which respectively let you load and run apps faster, and enjoy high picture rates for 4K video recording.
There are plenty of reasons to pick up a microSD card, should your phone support one. It can be a lot cheaper to get a phone with less storage and plan to add more. Media maniacs and data hoarders can also make use of the super cheap extra space. But if you think SanDisk's new A1 and A2-rated microSD cards are going to provide anywhere near the experience of your phone's built-in storage, think again.
Prices of microSD cards have been dropping quite a bit lately, but this pre-Black Friday deal is among the most enticing yet. Amazon has dropped the price of its U3-level Samsung EVO Select microSD cards in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB flavors to all-time low prices.We saw the 128GB version of this card drop to an already-low $25 early last month, but prices have fallen even further. In fact, a quick look at CamelCamelCamel reveals that these prices are the lowest that Amazon has ever seen. Plus, they're actually good cards; the U3 rating means that the minimum sequential writing speed is 30MB/s, which is significantly better than most cards' 10MB/s minimums.The 64GB card is .99, the 128GB is .99, and the 256GB is .99. If you've been in need of some extra storage, these EVO Select cards should definitely be considered. You can pick one up via the source links below.Source: Amazon (64GB), (128GB), (256GB)
Back in 2014, SanDisk became the first to offer a 128GB microSD card. The price? $199.99. Fast forward to today, and the same card with the same certifications (and a new coat of paint) is going for a paltry .87, just 12.4% of the original MSRP, on Amazon. That's pretty crazy to think about.This card carries Class 10 and U1 ratings, meaning that it has a minimum sequential writing speed of 10MB/s. That's not as good as U3's 30MB/s minimum speeds, but this thing is only $25. A comparable U3 SanDisk microSD for will only get you 64GB of storage. Both of these cards support read speeds of up to 100MB/s.$24.87 is the lowest price we've seen on Amazon for this 128GB card. Expedited shipping is free with Prime.

[Deal Alert] 256GB Samsung EVO Select microSD down to $85 ($35 off), 128GB to $34 ($8 off) at Amazon
Storage is always getting cheaper and cheaper. The first 256GB microSD, which was made available by Samsung, cost a whopping $249.99 when it debuted in 2016. Similarly, the first 128GB microSD card, which came from SanDisk, entered the market back in 2014 at a price of $199.99. Amazon is now offering 256GB and 128GB versions of the EVO Select microSD card for just .99 and .99, respectively.Samsung's EVO Select cards (rebranded versions of the EVO Plus for Amazon) are U3-rated, which means that they have a minimum sequential writing speed of 30MB/s. They're also rated for maximum speeds of 100MB/s for reading and 90MB/s for writing. The standard and far more ubiquitous U1 rating of 10MB/s is a lot slower than that, so if you do a lot of data transfer, this is definitely a big step up.The .99 price for the 256GB EVO Select and the .99 number for the 128GB card are both all-time lows. Of course, they both come with their own SD adapters. Prime shipping is free, and depending on where you live, it could even be same-day shipping.

Dual-SIM versions of Samsung's flagships are no stranger to discounts on eBay, but they've primarily concerned versions with the base 64GB of storage. But if you need more space to store your media, the 128GB dual-SIM model of the Galaxy S9+ has dropped to $664 on eBay.
We've seen a lot of good deals on the first-generation Pixel lately. Earlier this month, B&H had the phone for as low as $330 for the 32 GB variant, with the 128 GB at $400. Now, you can grab the larger-capacity model for just $350 on Woot.

Samsung announced today that customers in the US will soon be able to purchase its Galaxy S9 and S9+ phones with more storage. Variants of the phones with both 128 and 256 gigabytes of internal storage will be available to pre-order beginning tomorrow, May 1, and will be on sale May 18.
Being late isn't usually a good thing, but when it comes to purchasing technology, it does have its upsides. Chief among them is probably being able to pay a reduced price for something that not long before could only be purchased at the full MSRP. If you've still been looking to purchase a first-gen Pixel XL with maxed out storage, then eBay currently has a deal which can save you at least $269, plus any additional sales tax savings if you live outside of Illinois.
[Deal Alert] Samsung 64GB and 128GB USB-C flash drives just $19.99 and $39.99 on Amazon ($10-12 off)
USB-C is the future, but as we're all slowly switching to the updated port, the change isn't without its inconveniences. Chief among them: all your old stuff isn't gonna work without dongles and adapters.Why not just use it as an excuse to upgrade? That old 2GB drive you've been hanging onto isn't enough space anyway, and Amazon's just dropped the price on Samsung's 64GB ($19.99) and 128GB ($39.99) USB-C flash drives, bringing each to an all-time low. Allegedly these drives are USB 3.1, offering speeds of up to 150MB/s. According to benchmarks provided in Amazon's reviews, you should see about that in sequential read, with closer to 100MB/s in sequential writes. The only disadvantage seems to be that, if you intend to use the drive with a phone, some cases can interfere with it.Samsung has a 5-year limited warranty on these, and further advertises them as waterproof for up to 72 hours in seawater, shock-proof, magnet-proof (duh), and temperature-proof (0C-60C). It's also quite teensy, and no coupon is required to pick one up. You can grab it in a black 128GB flavor for $39.99, or Blue with 64GB for $19.99. In both cases, this is the lowest price either of these items has ever been at Amazon.Just about every new device brings with it a switch to USB-C, so you'll probably want to start replacing your older accessories with USB-C compatible varieties soon, or the dongle life will be your future life.
Did you like the HTC U11, but think that the standard 64GB of storage wasn't enough for you? We have some good news for you - a 6GB/128GB model of the U11 is being made available for pre-order tomorrow at 12AM Eastern time for $729 - $80 more than the 64GB model.
You know what's better than a deal? A triple deal. Amazon's Gold Box offers for today are all about SanDisk memory and in there are three nice deals for those of us with Android phones.First is the Ultra 256GB MicroSDXC UHS-I card with adapter. While this isn't the new fancy U3 card, it's still plenty fast with transfer speeds up to 95MB/s. Last we saw it, it was down from $200 to $135 on Amazon, but it had once reached $120 at B&H in limited quantities. Now it's back again at that same price of $119.99 on Amazon, which is its cheapest at the retailer according to CamelCamelCamel.Second is the Ultra 128GB MicroSDXC UHS-I card, also with adapter. This one is a lot cheaper than the 256GB, at nearly a quarter of the price, giving it one of the best price-per-value ratios for MicroSD storage in SanDisk's lineup. It's down to $32.99, which isn't its absolute cheapest price ever (that was $29.99 last Thanksgiving, says CamelCamelCamel), but it's still a nice discount from its current price of $42.95.And finally, there's the 128GB dual USB and USB-C drive, which can be very useful for transferring media and data from your computer to your phone, or between phones. It usually goes for about $59.99, but it was down to around last Thanksgiving. Now, however, it has dropped a little further to $38.89. That's the lowest it has ever reached, and a lot of removable storage for a decent price.If you're interested, the Gold Box deals last today only (19 hours remaining as of the time of writing) and shipping is free for Prime members.

The OnePlus 3T was unveiled a few months back, and seems to have been received well by most. Presumably to keep itself in the news, OnePlus says the pre-announced 128GB version in gunmetal grey is available for pre-order now at its site.
Almost every Android flagship these days has a microSD slot (we're looking at you, Google), which means that for most people, storage is easily expandable. Not only are microSD cards simple to use, they're also getting more and more inexpensive. Case in point: this 128GB Samsung EVO microSD card retailed for $109.99 less than two years ago, and now you can pick one up for just $33 on Amazon.You could make the argument that microSD cards are less useful than they once were thanks to free services like Google Photos, but what if you live in an area with terrible mobile data and/or WiFi? What if you want to preserve the quality of high-resolution photos or 4K video? And with a whole 128 gigabytes, you'll be able to store around six hours of that lovely 4K video (48MB/s should be able to handle it on a mobile device).
Are MicroSD cards cheap nowadays or what? I remember buying my first 128MB (that's MEGAbytes) card sometime in 2005 and here we are talking about affordable 128GB cards in 2016! If you're good at math, you'd know that we multiplied the storage by a thousand and something and we're still somewhere in the same price ballpark. Crazy.This Lexar 128GB is a Class 10 card that can read files at up to 95MB/s and write at up to 20MB/s. It comes with a USB 3.0 reader too so you can transfer your files quickly to a computer. It's using the old packaging though, which apparently makes it ripe for discounts. The same card with the same capacity and the same USB reader costs $69.95 with just a newer carton design, but you can get the old packaging for $43.99 as part of Amazon's Gold Box deal of the day. That's quite cheaper than the $59.99 price we saw it at about a month ago.The 64GB card is getting a discount too, though it's the newly packaged one that's part of the Gold Box deal. It's down to $24.99, a price that only a few months ago we associated with 32GB cards. It has the same Class 10 rating, data transfer speeds, and USB 3.0 reader.You only have about 20 hours to grab these deals before they expire, so think fast and act faster. Both are very well rated and ship for free from Amazon (the 64GB card with a Prime membership or on orders above $35).Source: Lexar 128GB MicroSDXC (old packaging), Lexar 64GB MicroSDXC (new packaging)

- The SanDisk 128GB card has now dropped to .99 which matches Samsung's price for its EVO card mentioned above.
Looking for some big deals on big expandable storage? For those in the US, Amazon has some of the lowest prices we've ever seen on Samsung branded MicroSD cards, and no one has to stand outside in the cold to get them. At the time of writing the 128GB EVO MicroSDXC card is just .99, a stunning price for a capacity that would have cost $200 or more a few years ago. It's a savings of $53 off the retail price.If you don't need quite that much storage, the 64GB version of the card is going for just $17.99. A 32GB card will set you back $9.99, and the 16GB version hardly seems worth considering at $6.99. SanDisk cards are also on sale, mostly for the same prices and capacities, though the SanDisk versions go down to 8GB ($5.99) or up to a whopping 200GB ($134.99, $110 off). The SanDisk 128GB card is more expensive at $58.99. Naturally all of them include free two-day shipping for Amazon Prime customers, though I'll point out that shipping services will be slow this time of year.
