Get a dinky portable Android TV projector for up to 27% off and enjoy some outdoor flicks this summer
Bring the movie theater to you, wherever you are
Summer is just a short two months away, and for many of us, that means another opportunity to watch some of our favorite movies under the stars. You don't need to find a drive-in near you to take advantage of the season. With today's deal of the day at Amazon, you can save $160 on your choice of two Xgimi Android TV portable projectors.Both the Xgimi Halo and the MoGo Pro are on sale today, and no matter which you pick, you're getting an excellent on-the-go projector with access to thousands of apps through the Play Store on Android TV 9.0. Each model features a 1080p resolution, 2GB of RAM, Harmon/Kardon speakers, and can project an image up to 100" in size. The Halo is the more expensive of the two, with brightness rated at 800 ANSI lumens, while the MoGo Pro sports 300 ANSI lumens.Don't let those numbers scare you out of the cheaper model; as our review found, the MoGo Pro's picture looks plenty bright and sharp in action. The only real downside to either of these projectors is the lack of official Netflix support — you'll have to use the sideload the mobile app with a mouse or set up Netflix through Kodi to get it to work.

Arlo's home security products have been a popular option for people looking to set up a few wireless cameras. The top of the line Arlo Ultra is weather sealed, shoots in 4K, shoots a great image at night, and offers plenty of well-designed features. While we liked this model, price was a bit of a turn-off.

Given the recent rise of truly wireless earbuds, we're starting to see some quality sales on the previous generation of tethered Bluetooth earbuds. Today, we have a deal from Jaybird (a headphone maker known for their fitness-focused lineup) on their X4 wireless earbuds, which are marked down to $70 on Amazon— their lowest price yet. It looks like the X4s have been available for around $110 for most of the year, and this latest reduction could save you an additional $40.AP's own Taylor Kerns spent some time with the Jaybird X4's last year and found them to be an excellent set of earbuds for the fitness crowd that featured high-quality sound and a manufacturer's first IPX7 rating. However, they also brought along some baggage from the days before completely wireless models with handy charging cases became the norm for Bluetooth buds. Namely, a proprietary pin-based charging dongle that connects via USB Type-A. Thankfully, you won't be charging these earbuds too often as Jaybird claims 8 hours of battery life per charge.
If you're an owner of an Arlo security system with a compatible hub — Arlo Pro 2, Arlo Ultra, or the new Arlo Pro 3 — and want to add another camera for not much coin, then here is a great deal for you: Best Buy is selling the single add-on Arlo Pro 2 security camera for 6 — that's $16 less than the last time we took a look at it.The Arlo Pro 2 security system was launched in 2017 to great reviews and it is still one of the best home security camera options on the market. It can record 130-degree 1080p videos, has night vision, a microphone, and a speaker. Thanks to its 2,440 mAh user-replaceable and swappable battery, it can be mounted practically anywhere around the house — both indoor and outdoor. One of the Arlo Pro 2's best features is the 7-day free cloud storage option that Arlo, unfortunately, took away from its subsequent security systems, such as the Arlo Ultra and Arlo Pro 3 — but that's not an issue here.
If you'd rather not spend over $1,000 for a flagship phone, or even $500 for a mid-ranger, there are plenty of companies like Nokia and Motorola that are happy to deliver a well-rounded smartphone experience at a seriously budget price. One such notable model is the unlocked Moto G6 Play, and it's now on sale at Amazon for $150.The Moto G6 Play originally launched for $200 in April 2018, and in the months since its price has occasionally dipped down to around this same $150 level.Being a modest entry-level phone, the G6 Play has hardware to match, like a Snapdragon 427 processor and 3GB of RAM. One standout is a big 4,000 mAh battery for all-day endurance (and probably then some). Earlier this year Motorola started rolling out Android 9 Pie to the phone, and after a long delay the AT&T model is finally getting its update this week.
Amazon is currently selling the Toshiba 43" 1080p Fire TV for 0. This television launched at $300 and the lowest it went during Black Friday was $240, making this an even better deal (if only by $10). If you prefer talking to Alexa to fumbling with a remote, this may be a good bedroom television to consider. The retailer also has the smaller 32" 720p edition at 0, if staring at pixels is your thing.
The 5.5-inch Huawei Honor 5X Marshmallow update is finally rolling out, solving one of the major issues we had with this device in our original review. With only 16GB of on-board storage (which we figured closer to 8GB after counting the OS and bloatware), Android 6.0 Marshmallow's SD card capabilities make this a much more attractive offering, especially considering the price! We saw the 5X on eBay for $159.99 back in March, but this is by far the best deal yet: $119.99 on Amazon for an unlocked device that will work on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US.Just to recap our initial thoughts:
Those of you with pro—or maybe just moderately complicated—home entertainment systems know how much of a pain it can be to manage the various remotes involved. Even worse is if anyone other than you wants to operate them; I had somebody watch my pets while on vacation and I came home to see the TV on and static buzzing because my poor friend just couldn't figure it out. A universal remote like one in the Logitech Harmony series can make things much easier, so why not jump on board today when they are on Amazon's Gold Box daily deal?There are two models, each refurbished, available:
There are fewer accessory purchases I have appreciated more than my portable USB charger. This one, with a truly massive capacity, is a mere $13.99 after applying its coupon on Amazon. It checks all the boxes you'd look for in an external battery of its kind, with support for speedy 2A charging output in one port and another available for simultaneous charging at conventional speeds. There is an indicator to let you know how much charge it has left, which is handier than you would think.
