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.
The time for new phones is coming, but that doesn't mean that yester year's flagship devices are any less good than they were at release. One of the great things about new hardware is that the older stuff sees some great price cuts. Such is the case with the Samsung Galaxy S7 Duos (dual-SIM version). The 32GB in black, silver, or gold is $439.99 over on eBay, a savings of $210.
Nexus phones tend to last a while, at least in terms of software - thank Google's spot as the gatekeeper of Android for that. I'm still using my Nexus 6, and will probably continue to do so when the 2016 models come in and it passes the two-year mark. The previous phone, LG's Nexus 5, is coming up on three years old, but it still has access to the latest version of Android with new security releases every month. It's still a great budget phone, especially for enthusiasts and developers.
If you happen to own an Android phone or tablet that works with USB On-The-Go (OTG) for external storage, you'd probably like some storage gadgets that can take advantage of it. Combo drives - standard USB on one side, MicroUSB on the other - have been on the market for years, but they're not easy to find and they usually carry a premium over more conventional designs. Today Amazon is offering a 32GB combo drive from Corsair, which is also compatible with USB 3.0 ports on the standard side, for just even.
We've been seeing some fantastic prices on last year's Nexus phone leading up to and following the launch of the 2015 devices. This is almost the cheapest yet: $249.99 gets you the Nexus 6, which is still very much a powerful and desirable phone, from Amazon. This is a new device, with the stock 32GB of storage and either the blue or white color option, plus a standard warranty. It's a full $400 off of the retail price at which the Nexus 6 launched a little over a year ago.If you need a little more storage, the 64GB model is also available at $299.99, though at the moment it's only being sold in the white version. That's the same $400 discount as the base model, again for a new unit with a full warranty. Both the 32GB model and the white 64GB model are being sold with Amazon's Prime shipping included, which would get it to your mailbox before Christmas if you get in an order today.Remember that the US version of the Nexus 6 is compatible with all major US carriers, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and US Cellular, not to mention Google's own Project Fi - just drop a nano-SIM card into the slot and it's ready to go. There's no indication that this is a sale or promotional price on Amazon, but stock is likely to run out quickly anyway. Get an order in quickly if you want one.Source: AmazonThanks: Dimi, Jorge
Deal hunters, get an early start on this one. Amazon's US store has slashed the unlocked Nexus 6 price by another $150 (in addition to the $150 price cut a few months ago). That means a full $300 off of both models: the standard 32GB version is now $349.99, and the 64GB version is $399.99. This is a fantastic deal on an unlocked phone, and one that still keeps up with most of the 2015 flagships. Get your order in quickly, because at this price stock is going to disappear very soon.Remember, the US version of the Nexus 6 works with all four major carriers (including Sprint and Verizon), most GSM MVNO carriers, and Google's own Fi. Both the blue and white versions get the discount at both capacities, and shipping is free. Amazon Prime members get upgraded to two-day shipping as well. Note that carrier versions of the N6 are not discounted. Here are some handy direct links to all four variants:
There are some impressive alternatives to Google's flagship tablet, but if you want an AOSP-powered machine with a built-in LTE radio, you're hard pressed to find anything in the same weight class. The 32GB version of the Nexus 9 LTE goes for a whopping $600 on Google's online US storefront. Amazon is selling it for quite a bit less, but if you want a good deal, you can't beat Expansys USA.
The Nexus 6 is a fantastic phone, but it doesn't have the appealingly low price that its immediate predecessors did. If you've been waiting for the price to drop a bit below the $650 mark for the base model, now's your chance. Amazon is selling the unlocked 32GB blue version for just 3.90, a solid 10% discount. The seller is a third party (with no Prime shipping), and at the time of writing there are only 9 left at this price - hurry if you want to grab one.
When Google and HTC announced the Nexus 9, they showed it off in the now-standard black, white, and gold "sand" color options. The off-brown color wasn't seen on launch day, though considering the low initial manufacturing runs that Nexus devices seem cursed with, that's not overly surprising. In the small hours of this morning the sand option appeared on the Play Store in the United States - you can pick up a 32GB model now for 9.
OK, so perhaps the latest version of the Galaxy Note tablet isn't impressing you, thanks to that overly large 12.2-inch screen. If you'd like a deal on something very similar but a little more manageable, B&H Photo has the 32GB version of the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (man, I'm glad they did away with that naming scheme) for $329. That's a whopping $270 off of the price of the 32GB model at launch last year, and still $170 off of Amazon's current price.
The same card goes for on Amazon, so this is either an alarmingly fishy or really fantastic deal. You should keep in mind that fake and counterfeit MicroSD cards are quite abundant, and use your better judgement. On the plus side though, the seller isn't located in China, has an impressive 99.4% positive feedback rating, and seems as legit as you could possibly be on eBay. And then again, for $10, you aren't risking a lot.
eBay just loves discounting that 2013 Nexus 7, or at least a lot of the merchants that use eBay do. Google's perennial 7-inch tablet is back on the Daily Deal list, this time in a 32GB Wi-Fi flavor. The tablet is going for 9.99, a full $110 off of the retail price in the Play Store, so long as you're OK with a refurbished unit. According to the listing, this particular model is an Asus Authorized Refurbished product with a 90 day warranty from the manufacturer.
Update 7/14/14: The previous deal sold out, but it's now back under another listing.
Look, it's been a year since the Nexus 7 got its first hardware refresh. There will probably be a replacement before too long. Right now is the worst time to buy it, at least if you're bothered by the idea of a recently-purchased device being suddenly outclassed by a new one. All that being said... you can get a great deal on the Nexus 7 2013 32GB if you head over to eBay right now.
The revised Nexus 7 has been available for the better part of a year, and we've featured innumerable sales and discounts on the tablet. If you don't have one by now, it's probably because you don't want one. That said, if you're one of the last people in the US or Canada to get on the trolley, an eBay vendor is offering the basic 16GB WiFi model at a significant discount today.
Nexus phones tend to be in extremely high demand just after release, but right now Google has one that's shipping in two days. If you order the white version of the Nexus 5 32GB at the moment, you can get it considerably faster than any of the other models... yes, perhaps even in time for Christmas. The Play Store shows it shipping in 1-2 days, meaning that UPS would be speeding it to you by Thursday at the latest.
The Nexus 10 is getting a little long in the tooth, but it's still the only 10-inch tablet you can buy that runs the latest version of Android without any manufacturer extras. In addition to the double Nexus 7 deals from earlier this morning, eBay has a fantastic discount on a brand new Nexus 10 32GB. Not only do you get [ebay id="331075261358" text="a new (not refurbished) tablet for $399"], a hundred bucks off of retail, you also get a $100 prepaid Visa Gift Card.
Happy Thanksgiving to our American readers. Today is the day that we reflect on all we have to feel thankful for... for about ten minutes. then we binge on food, football, and consumerism. If you'd like to skip the first two, you can score a sweet deal on the updated Nexus 7 tablet over at eBay. One vendor has [ebay id="370952014264" text="a new 16GB model for $189.99"], $40 off, and another is offering a refurbished [ebay id="231067709025" text="32GB N7 2013 for $209.99"], a full $60 off the retail price.
We've featured various incarnations of the Nexus 10 on dozens of deals at this point. If you want a cheap, powerful, 10-inch AOSP tablet and you don't have one by now, you've got no one to blame but yourself. That said, if you're looking for one last chance at a deal, we've got your back. Woot has the 32GB version of the Nexus 10 available for 9.99 plus shipping. The tablet is refurbished, and the deal is good for today only.
