Want a free Droid Turbo 2? Verizon is giving away 200 units in its new #WhyNotWednesday offer, starting today, letting you snatch the new Motorola smartphone early. The Droid Turbo 2 was announced yesterday at a Motorola event, and Verizon plans to start selling it tomorrow.

Anyone that wants to enter the competition should visit droidseeker.whynotwednesday.com, add a telephone number, and sign-in to Twitter. Once all that is done, Verizon will teleport you to a virtual city at night. You must find the Droid Turbo 2 hidden in the building within 30 seconds to win the smartphone.

Each time a Droid Turbo 2 is found, it is removed from the city, making it harder to find the last few units. The contest will continue until all 200 smartphones are found, but Verizon has not published exact details on the game and how long it will take to find all of the units.

#WhyNotWednesday is an exclusive program for Verizon customers, giving them free access services. Previous promotions have included a Lyft ride in a DeLorean on Back to the Future week, Avicii’s latest album Stories for free, insider access to New York’s fashion week, and free NFL live streaming.

The Droid Turbo 2 builds on the power of the original, with a shatterproof screen and 48-hours battery life. Verizon is promoting the 2TB of expandable storage and 21-megapixel Sony Exmor camera. All the other specs on the Droid Turbo 2 are super high-end, making it one of the best performing smartphones available in the United States.

You can pick up the Google Pixel 7 Pro for only $500 today

If you've been holding out on buying a new phone for a while because prices are still expensive, then you may want to consider going for one of the older flagship phones. For example, while the Pixel 8 Pro is out, the Pixel 7 Pro is still a powerful and viable alternative, and even better, it has quite a few great deals on it. In fact, you can buy a brand new and sealed Pixel 7 Pro from Woot for just $500, rather than the usual $1,100, and that's for the 512GB version of the phone, so you get a lot of storage with it as well.

A new Google Pixel Tablet is coming, but it’s not what you think

It's been almost a year since the Google Pixel Tablet went up for preorder, leading many Android tablet fans to wonder when the inevitable Pixel Tablet 2 will arrive. A new rumor suggests that Google could release a new Pixel Tablet as early as next month, but it's probably not what you were expecting or hoping for.

According to @MysteryLupin on X (formerly Twitter), Google is planning to "relaunch" the Pixel Tablet without the charging/speaker dock included in the box. As you'll likely recall, the speaker dock is the Pixel Tablet's standout feature. You can use the Pixel Tablet on its own as a traditional Android tablet when you want, and when you're done, you throw it on the dock to transform it into a smart display. The idea of Google selling the Pixel Tablet without its claim to fame is an interesting one.

If you've been looking to pick up a new charging cable, charger, or all-in-one charging station for your Android phone or iPhone, then you'll be happy to know that Anker is having a rather large Earth-Day sale that you can take advantage of. There are a ton of discounts that you can take advantage of, too, with up to 40% off in some cases. I that wasn't enough, you can even snag yourself some free gifts, for example, one of the best accessories for a Galaxy S24 is the Anker Nano Power Bank if you spend more than $90, or even an Anker 621 Magnetic Battery if you spend over $120. Either way, there are a lot of options, and while we've shared some of our favorite deals below, it's also worth taking a look at everything Anker has to offer by pressing the button below.

What you should buy during Anker's Sale
One of the most basic things you may need for any device is a charging cable, and Anker has a couple of great options for that. If you're on an older iPhone with a lightning cable, you can grab Anker's Anker 641 USB-C to Lightning Cable that's 6 feet long using the coupon WSPEV2KENJP2. On the other hand, if you need a USB-C to connect and charge your devices, you can grab the 6-foot Anker 543 USB-C to USB-C Cable using the code WSPEV2EHDR0C.
