Dead Cells celebrates new Fatal Falls DLC with a 50% off sale
$3.99 will net you three new biomes to explore

Much like the previous content expansion, you can pick up Fatal Falls through a single in-app purchase priced at $3.99. This DLC offers three new biomes to explore, along with new monsters, weapons, and bosses. There's also a new custom mode available for free with today's update, and the game is on sale for half-off until September 28th in celebration of today's DLC release.
Northgard update brings online multiplayer support to Android and iOS, complete with cross-play
2v2, 3v3, and 2v2v2 modes supported
Back in June, the release date for the Android port of Northgard was revealed in a YouTube trailer. This popular indie strategy game had already made its way to iOS in April but is only just now landing on Android. Despite the late arrival, the Android port is pretty good, offering acceptable performance, a reworked UI for touchscreen play, and there's even optional DLC available for those looking to extend Northgard's RTS gameplay. It's an acceptable port that should offer hours of fun, and it's currently on sale for 30% off.
Eufy's subscription-free doorbell is even cheaper on Amazon today, but the deal won't last long
You have until the end of the day to purchase a wireless video doorbell for just $80
A smart doorbell camera can make keeping an eye on your home much easier, whether receiving a package from UPS or weeding out "guests" trying to sell you their services. While big players like Google Nest and Ring have some of the most advanced doorbells on the market, their price tags are enough to make your wallet quiver in fear. Thankfully, Eufy's battery-powered video doorbell camera won't break the bank, and you can pick one up for a mere $80 on Amazon today — no subscription needed.There's a lot to like about Eufy's video doorbell, especially at its price. Setup is pretty straightforward, and it hits the basics you'd expect from a doorbell camera: 1080p video, tall 4:3 field of view, instant alerts, and more. It works wirelessly, too — the manufacturer claims a long 4-month battery life from a single charge. And unlike some of its competitors, you'll be able to save your recordings locally without enrolling in an expensive subscription.At $80, Eufy's doorbell is $40 under its $120 price tag. If you've been searching for a doorbell that's both affordable and a solid performer, we recommend pulling the trigger on this unit. You'd be wise to act fast as this deal is only available through the end of the day. Follow the link below to check it out.Buy: Amazon

OtterBox makes some of the most durable cases on the market, and its entire site is 20% off today only.
Save big on both generations of Samsung's flashy Galaxy Chromebook
Take up to $300 off the premium model
Summer vacation has come and gone — it's already August, our (not really) favorite time of the year when many of us head back to the classroom. If you've been eyeing a laptop for your daily schooling needs, there's no better way to catch the attention of your peers than by grabbing Samsung's flashy fiesta-red Galaxy Chromebook. And today, you can save big on both generations of these attractive Chromebooks — up to $300 off the premium model.Samsung's high-end Galaxy Chromebook is a beautiful mess — but mostly the latter. There's still lots to love about it, though: a gorgeous 4K OLED screen, attractive hardware, integrated stylus, and more. It's equipped with a 10th generation Intel Core i5-10210U processor and 8GB of RAM. There's a fingerprint sensor on the unit to jump right back into your productivity zone quickly, and its 256GB PCIe storage allows for super-fast reads and writes.The Galaxy Chromebook 2, meanwhile, is Samsung's successor to its convertible, and it also keeps that lovely flirtatious red color scheme. While the new Chromebook improves the keyboard, speakers, and security, the manufacturer made some notable downgrades to address the slew of problems that plagued the first-generation device — notably the lackluster battery life and thermal issues. The base model is equipped with an Intel Celeron 5205U and 4GB of RAM, but you'll be able to configure it with up to an i3-10110U and 8GB memory — this bumps its 64GB eMMC flash storage up to 128, too. Despite the slower speeds, the Galaxy Chromebook 2's 12-hour battery life and lower price make it a better value than the premium model.
Join the dark side with a rare $80 discount on the latest iPad Air
C'mon, it's not like you were gonna buy another Kindle Fire
A lot of you got upset with me when I waxed poetic on how much better iPads are than Android tablets. Well here's your chance to put your money where your mouth is ... albeit slightly less of your money than usual. As part of Prime Day, Amazon is offering $80 off of the latest generation of the iPad Air. It's a fantastic deal on the "sweet spot" of the iPad lineup. What I mean by that is this: the iPad Air gen 4 has almost most of the plusses of the iPad Pro, including that sleek rounded-and-flattened design, a bit of extra power, compatibility with some of Apple's (admittedly overpriced) keyboards, a slightly bigger screen than the base model, and most thankfully, a USB-C port that works with tons of accessories including video-out cables. And it does all of that while being hundreds of dollars cheaper than the Pro, missing out only on the higher-refresh screen, two extra speakers, and a better camera — features which, I would argue, aren't going to be a big deal for most tablet users.The base iPad Air 64GB is normally $600, down to just $520 today. You can add an LTE modem for $650, bump up the storage to 256GB for $670, or get them both for $800, again, all with an $80 discount on the retail price. These discounts are good for all five colors of the iPad Air. Discounts this deep on iPad hardware are rare, so pick 'em up while you can.Buy: Amazon
Score a OnePlus 8 for just $420, today only
Woot is offering a blazing $280 discount on last year's model
The latest OnePlus phones are pretty good, but their ever-climbing price tags have a lot of brand devotees seeking alternatives. Amazon's closeout site Woot offers one today, and today only: last year's not-quite-flagship, the OnePlus 8. This new, unlocked version of the phone comes in fetching Glacial Green and only in the 8GB RAM, 128GB model, but it's only $419.99. That's a steal for a well-made 5G phone based on the Snapdragon 865 platform.
Dead Cells updated with new DLC, main title discounted 50% in celebration
The Bad Seed DLC comes to Android, bringing fresh content to the popular roguelike
Dead Cells is one of the few mainstays across all of my Android devices. It's easily one of the best platformers on mobile, but better than that, the developer is active, and so The Bad Seed DLC has made its way to Android as of this morning. You can pick up this DLC for $3.99, which basically serves as an expansion to the core game. Best of all, the main title is on sale today for half off in celebration of The Bad Seed's release, so if you've yet to snag a copy of Dead Cells on Android, you have until April 6th to pick it for .99.
Enjoy great audio during your workouts with the Bose SoundSport for just $89 ($40 off)
They're sweatproof and offer excellent sound quality
If you're on a budget but are looking for a pair of wireless buds that can withstand your heavy workouts while providing great audio quality, look no more. The Bose SoundSport are currently down to $89 on Amazon, which is $40 less than what they usually sell for.In his review, David liked their sound quality and comfort, but was disappointed by their price. Thankfully, now that they're $60 cheaper than when they came out, this deal makes them a reasonable option.The buds are sweat- and water-resistant, offer about six hours of battery life, as well as NFC pairing. Sadly, charging is achieved through Micro-USB, given the product came out several years ago. However, it remains very decent and offers excellent sound quality for less than $100, so you should definitely consider it if you're looking for great audio quality and water-resistance.Buy: Amazon
Motorola is offering $200 off the new Razr 5G, or up to $400 off if you're deemed worthy
Would you get one if it were $1000?
Motorola brought back the iconic Razr nameplate for a foldable phone last year, but the phone didn't live up to the hype. However, if you're willing to give the second-gen phone a second shot, you can get $200 off the Razr 5G right now. There also seem to be some $400 off codes being emailed out.
Samsung Total Home Event offers 25% off select items with purchase
The perfect time to buy a tablet and a fridge to stick it on
The eligible purchased products must be from different categories that Samsung has laid out. There are three, to be specific: home appliances, home entertainment, and mobile products. Home appliances include things like refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwaves, while TVs, soundbars, monitors, and SSDs fall under home entertainment. The mobile category comprises the usual stuff we're all interested in: phones, smartwatches, tablets, Chromebooks, and accessories like headphones.
Insta360 discounts its great 360 cams, including the new One R, by up to 15%
The first price drop on the new One R
A 360-degree camera remains a commodity to this day, but those who have tried one and really looked at all the ways it can be used won't stop singing its praises. For video, a 360 cam lets you shoot without worrying about framing or angle, for still pics it forces you to think about creative places and perspectives. Not to mention all the fun effects you can create with it and the flying drone viewpoint it can generate. If you'd like to test the waters or if you're looking to upgrade your existing 360 gear, you're in luck because Insta360 has a bunch of nice summer deals.The star of the discount is the latest Insta360 One R, a modular action and/or 360 cam with USB-C and IPX8 waterproofing. Both the Twin Edition with the 360 and 4K video modules, and the 1-inch Edition with the large 5.3K Leica sensor are down 10% to $430 and $495, respectively.
Xgimi's excellent portable Android TV projectors are up to 25% off on Amazon
17 hours remaining on the deal
Summer is here, which means kicking off your shoes, relaxing outdoors, and exploring new places... hopefully while still social distancing. If you want to take your entertainment with you on the go, a portable projector is a great all-in-one solution, but you need something that's bright, works well with a remote, supports apps, and has some decent sound. Those are all qualities I enjoyed about the Xgimi projectors when I reviewed them last year, and now three of the brands' models are discounted up to 25% as Amazon's deals of the day.All three projectors run the official Android TV platform, a rarity in the portable projector market, and come with the Play Store pre-installed. They don't have official support for Netflix, but you'll find some hacks online that might work or you can sideload the phone app and use a mouse to navigate it. Otherwise, you can still enjoy YouTube, Plex, Kodi, Amazon Prime, Spotify, and plenty of other video and audio streaming services.Since they run Android TV, they also act as Chromecast targets, have Assistant built-in, and can play all compatible Android TV games. Plus, there are HDMI and USB inputs, an audio jack to listen privately, and they can work as portable Bluetooth speakers too. The only real downside, if you ask me, is their proprietary charger, but that can be relatively remedied by buying a USB to DC cable.
Get an Echo Show for $10 when you buy one of these discounted Blink XT2 cameras
Blink once and you'll miss this sweet deal
Amazon introduced its Blink XT2 smart security camera system last summer, and while it didn't quite compare to the likes of Nest and Arlo, it stood out for its affordability. It was already a good value for someone looking to do wireless security, and now it's even better with the bonus of a basically free screen. For a limited time only, you can buy an Echo Show 5 for only $10 when you pick up a set of Blink XT2 cameras.
Samsung Galaxy S20 models are up to $300 off at Microsoft right now
Get an S20 for as little as $750 ($250 off) or an S20+ for $900 (saving $300)
The S20 series costs far too much, regardless of how good they are. That probably sounds rich coming from someone who bought an unlocked S20 Ultra the day of the announcement, but it's true. These prices have undoubtedly had some impact on sales, too, with the S20 severely underperforming. It's a shame, because other than a slightly disappointing camera, they are, in my view, the best phones on the market right now. If the price is the only thing putting you off, though, now is an excellent time to grab one from Microsoft, as they have all three models available for up to $300 off.
The Stadia Team has just published a community blog post that details a plethora of new features that are already available on the platform or are rolling out shortly. Today's most significant addition is the support for all Android phones, including a handful of OnePlus devices that were named specifically. On top of this, Google has released support for touch controls in all games as well as compatibility for per-device resolution options. Best of all, Stadia is currently offering $10 off your next game purchase if you're a Pro member.
Killer deals: Pixel 3a and 3a XL are down to $279 and $319 (up to $160 off)
Their lowest prices ever
Rumors of this year's Pixel 4a abound, but the device's release date is still up for question. In the meantime, the 2019 Pixel 3a is still sitting tight in a quickly emptying field of decent midrange phones with excellent cameras. When it launched, it was a tremendous value at $399 and even gained our smartphone of the year award, but discounts have made its appeal even more undeniable. Today, it has dropped to its lowest ever price: $279 for the 3a and $319 for the 3aXL.

Master & Dynamic extends WFH sale: Great true wireless earbuds and headphones for 50% off (Updated)
Get the excellent MW07 true wireless for $100 or the MW60 over-ears for $150
Read update
Boutique New York audio brand Master & Dynamic makes earbuds and headphones that sound superb, but they're usually a little too expensive for most people's budgets. Its products sometimes go on sale, but rarely are they discounted so heavily as right now — select products are 50% off for the next couple of days thanks to a WFH sale on the company's website.
The Pixel 3a from Google rightly won our phone of the year for 2019 thanks to its dependable performance, solid build quality, and, above all, a great camera. It also packs a nostalgia-inducing retro feature called a headphone jack that some of our older readers may be familiar with. The normal price of £399 was already a great bargain, but it's now £70 off in the UK, so there's very little reason not to buy it if you're in the market for an inexpensive Android handset.
