Amazon has a ton of obscure brands that sell shady, poorly-built products you should avoid; AUKEY is not one of them. I personally own a few AUKEY chargers and batteries, and I've been very satisfied with all of them. Now, through November 29th, AUKEY is handing out discounts for some of their products in the form of promo codes.First up, the charging accessories. For their dual-port wall charger with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 tech in both ports, you can take $5 off the current price of $19.99 with the code AUKEYBF1. If you've got a ton of devices like I do, you may want to take a peek at the company's 6-port wall charger, which comprises of two Quick Charge 3.0-capable ports and four 2.4A ports. With code AUKEYBF2, you can take $6 off AUKEY's $27.99 price on Amazon. Want to charge your phone quickly in the car? Look no further than the CC-T7 car charger, which is equipped with one QC3.0 port and one 2.4A port. AUKEYBF3 will take $1.68 off the car charger's $11.99 price point.AUKEY is also further discounting its 7-port hub, which is made up of four USB 3.0 ports and three "smart charging" ports, from $24.99 to $19.99 with code AUKEYBF4. And if you're looking for a massive portable battery pack, NLD526NB will save you $10 on AUKEY's $39.99 20,000mAh unit, which has one QC3.0 port, one 2.4A port, and both microUSB and Lightning inputs.Here's a summary:
[Deal Alert] Save up to $500 on the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, LG G5, Moto Z Droid, and more at Best Buy
In the market for a new phone? If you're on AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon, Best Buy may have some deals worth looking at. Some of these offers can get a little confusing between all the different carriers and options, so try to hang on.
Budget flagships are abound these days, and the latest addition to ZTE's line of premium phones, the Axon 7, is one of the better ones on the market. The hardware is top-notch, and although the software isn't quite up to par with the OnePlus 3T's or the Nexus 6P's (as Ryan writes about in his review), it's certainly not the worst on the market. Now, you can pick one of these powerhouses up for just $349.98 and have some extras thrown in if you buy from the right retailers.Amazon, B&H, Best Buy, Newegg, and ZTEUSA.com all have the Axon 7 in both Quartz Gray and Ion Gold available at the discounted price of $349.98, but some will give you more incentive to buy than others. Amazon may have free 2-day shipping if you're a Prime member, and Best Buy may give you the opportunity to pick the phone up in-store, but those two don't include the free $60 JBL Synchros E40BT Bluetooth headphones that B&H is offering, the ~$200 Monster ROC Sport Freedom Bluetooth headphones that Newegg is giving away, or the free case and USB Type-C charging cable that ZTE is throwing in. It's also worth noting that only devices purchased from ZTEUSA.com qualify for ZTE's comprehensive Passport 2.0 warranty, which includes discounts for future phones, a $79.99 deductible for screen replacements, and more.Personally, if I were on the hunt for an Axon 7, I'd go with Newegg. The Monster Bluetooth headphones that it's offering are better than the JBLs that B&H is including, and its warehouses around the country (including one in my state) make for fast shipping. However, if you're on the clumsier side, you may want to go with ZTEUSA.com for the warranty and free case. All the retailers have compelling offerings; it's up to you to decide which suits you the best.If you're not interested in getting an Axon 7 and just like reading these articles for fun, perhaps our Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals roundup will have something more to your liking.Source: Amazon, B&H, Best Buy, Newegg, ZTE

- B&H is now including a $25 gift card as well, and Amazon is taking $30 off ($25 off the blue model) the already-discounted $289.99 and throwing in a free Dr. Strange gift box that includes the Dr. Strange case that Newegg is throwing in, as well as two comic books, when the phone is added to the cart. Thanks, Wolf0491 and SSyar.
The Honor 8 suffers an affliction that many Chinese phones are prone to: excellent hardware let down by poorly-made software. However, thanks to a beta of EMUI 5 that supposedly improves the software a bunch, the phone may be worth considering now - especially with this Black Friday deal. If a $110 discount on both the 32GB and 64GB models wasn't enough, Newegg is also throwing in the most amount of things I've ever seen bundled with a phone.Here's a list of all the extras Newegg's throwing in:

- Newegg is also offering the unlocked G5 for 9.99 in Titan and Silver. Thanks, Raiders12.
The LG G5 is one of the odder phones that came out in 2016; its "Friends" module integration was a complete failure, its build quality is lackluster, and it hasn't sold particularly well. It's obviously not the best smartphone on the market, but it's still a pretty decent one - one that you can now pick up in an unlocked variation for just $399.99 from Amazon.I personally own a T-Mobile G5 and have been satisfied with it, for the most part. Admittedly, the build quality and design aren't great, but show me another flagship smartphone that has an IR blaster and a removable battery in 2016 (the vastly more expensive V20 not included). In addition, it actually performs more fluidly than both my Galaxy S7 edge and HTC 10, has a nice set of cameras on the back, and its 1440p LCD display isn't too shabby either.Amazon is currently offering the G5 in both Titan (gray) and Silver colors at that $399.99 price point. This RS988 model is compatible with AT&T, T-Mobile, and (surprise!) Verizon. Since the device is shipped and sold by Amazon, you'll also get fast shipping if you're a Prime member (I'm eligible for free same-day shipping, though YMMV). We don't know how long this deal will last for, so if you're interested, you should jump on it as soon as possible.
It's not Black Friday yet, but it sure is starting to feel like it. We've seen a lot of deals for the Motorola Moto 360 Sport pop up recently; however, this is the best one yet. An eBay seller with 97.8% positive feedback and over 134k stars is offering up brand new 360 Sports for just $99.99 apiece.
Very few, if any, OEMS do budget flagships better than OnePlus, and the new 3T continues the company's trend of offering a lot of powerful hardware for not a lot of money. Ryan recently reviewed the 3T and found it to be a small improvement over the 3, which was already a fantastic phone. Now, if you live in North America, you can order one of your very own.
Tipping with real money has been something of a sore topic with Uber, so why not just tip your driver with a digital sticker and some kind words? If giving a 5-star rating is never enough, Uber Compliments is just the thing for you. Compliments are essentially glorified, digital thank-you notes.
Got a Sprint LG G5? You may want to check for system updates in settings, as Sprint has begun to push the Android 7.0 Nougat update to LG's primer-covered flagship. Sprint and LG are both notoriously good with updates, so it's not a huge surprise that the Sprint G5 is one of the first flagships to get a taste of Nougat-y goodness.
When the Axon 7 launched in China in late May, a more powerful version with a pressure-sensitive display debuted alongside it. That version was only available in China - until now. ZTE has just announced the improved Axon 7 that China has had all along for the US market, and it costs $100 more than the standard model.
Prices for gift cards rarely go down, but when they do, people tend to go berserk for even the smallest discounts. Case in point: for a $50 Play Store gift card, a slash of $5 to $41.99 at Costco may not sound like much, but it's clearly resonating well with some Slickdeals members.
[Deal Alert] Get a year of Amazon Prime for just $79 today in celebration of The Grand Tour's launch
Amazon doesn't often discount its $99 Prime membership fee, but to celebrate the launch of The Grand Tour, a Prime exclusive, the Seattle-based giant has decided to slash that $99 price tag by $20 to $79 for today only.In case you somehow haven't already heard of The Grand Tour, it's a brand new motoring show with a massive budget that is hosted by an ape (Jennifer Clarkson), a hamster (Richard Hammond), and a long-haired man whom the Italians refer to as "Mr Slowly" (James May). The first episode premiered last night, and it had everything from dead celebrities to communist cars. Reviews were mostly positive.Until today (November 18th) at 11:59 PM PT, new members will be able to purchase a year of Prime for $79. This will not only grant access to The Grand Tour, but also to unlimited two-day shipping on millions of items, thousands of TV shows and movies, millions of ad-free songs, and loads of eBooks.To take advantage of this offer, simply hit the first source link below, add Prime to your cart, and check out. The price will still appear as $99 in your cart, but it'll change to $79 at checkout. Unfortunately, the discount doesn't apply to the gift of Prime.Source: Amazon (1), (2)
For a few months now, OnePlus has been pushing beta community builds to the now-discontinued OnePlus 3 in an effort to merge its two ROMs, OxygenOS and HydrogenOS. Now, the Shenzhen-based company has pushed community build 3.5.6 to the 3, and it brings a number of improvements and fixes.
BLU doesn't have a particularly great reputation for its phones' software, and the recent discovery of spyware on its phones, including those sold in the US, certainly didn't help it. However, the company's popular R1 HD, best known for costing Amazon Prime members only $50, has just received an update with some nice improvements for T-Mobile customers.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX is a phone many have been dreaming of; it manages to cram a 6.4" display into a footprint barely larger than the 5.5" Pixel XL's or iPhone 7 Plus's. That's definitely impressive, but what about the strength of such a phone? Given Xiaomi's poor track record against the wrath of Zack from JerryRigEverything and the minimal bezels surrounding the screen, you'd be entirely forgiven for thinking the Mi MIX is a weak device. However, you'd also be quite wrong.
Google first revealed that Pixel pre-orderers would receive Daydream Views free of charge at last month's Pixel unveiling, and now, there's finally some movement; promo codes for the VR headsets are being sent out via email to customers who pre-ordered via the Google Store.
Samsung's Gear line of smartwatches has come a long way since 2013's geeky-looking, Android-powered Galaxy Gear. The latest additions to the family, the Gear S3 frontier and Gear S3 classic, were announced over two months ago at IFA, and now, they're finally available - in South Korea.
Out of all of the Galaxy S7-series phones that I've seen, the majority of them have been the smaller, 5.1-inch model. That's odd, considering the fact that the S7 edge outsells the S7, but it's entirely understandable why people would choose the S7 over the edge model; it's easier to hold, less prone to accidental screen touches, more durable, and less expensive.
Do you want to keep your Galaxy S7 edge's glass back free of cracks? Want to cover up some blemishes on the back of your OnePlus 3? The "robot-run," Lamborghini-owning skin company is no stranger to releasing eccentric new materials; in the past few months, the company has released Concrete and Hyperblack Titanium. Now, after a not insignificant amount of teasing, it's taken the wraps off of Marble, alongside a 30% discount.
