You don’t have to pay the big prices the Apple Watch Series 10 commands to get a good smartwatch these days. That’s because smartwatch deals are bringing excellent discounts to slightly older models. Take the Garmin Instinct 2 as a good example. The “graphite” black version is available at both Amazon and Walmart for around $185. That’s a savings of $115 off of the usual $300. Now, if you want to buy from Amazon due to an Amazon Prime membership, you’ll have to hurry because (at the time of this writing) there are only 19 in stock. Walmart’s not saying how many they have left, but you can guess this items is selling quickly either way. Tap the appropriate button below to see the watch or keep reading to see what the watch has to offer you.

Why you should buy the Garmin Instinct 2

The first thing to know about the Garmin Instinct 2 is that it is built to be lived in. It’s got shock resistance, is able to go as far as 100 meters under the water, has a tough polymer case, and the fairly standard scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla glass for its cover. But that’s just its body. The Garmin Instinct 2 will also conform to your adventures, with a fully 3D compass that includes an altimeter and GPS, and includes special hunting and fishing modes — like many Garmin smartwatches, the Instinct 2 has a more outdoorsy feel than standard. However, when you’re sleeping, the Garmin Instinct 2 will track your sleep health for you and during the day you’ll get fitness info in a system not unlike that of the best smartwatches. The battery life of the Garmin Instinct 2 allows for your adventures to last for up to 28 days in smartwatch mode and 30 hours in GPS mode.

To experience a Garmin Instinct 2 at a great price, tap one of the buttons below. There, you’ll find the watch for right around the $185 mark, which is $115 less than the typical $300. Again, there’s no indicator for when this deal will end, but we can be sure that it will probably end on Amazon sooner as there is already an indication that stock is limited. If you want to take advantage of this popular smartwatch deal, act now.

While OnePlus may have exited the US and Europe, the brand is still alive in its home market and is already working on its next flagship smartphone. A fresh leak from Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has now revealed more details about the OnePlus 16, including its design and a revised launch timeline.

The tipster previously claimed that the phone would arrive in September 2026, but the latest information points to an October launch in China (via Gizmochina). The global picture is far less clear, and there is now even some doubt over whether the OnePlus 16 will make it to India, which remains the company’s biggest market.

Samsung wants another giant OLED folding inside your pocket
Samsung Galaxy TriFold unfolded

Samsung just gave foldable fans a wider 4:3 canvas with the Galaxy Z Fold 8. But that still isn't enough screen for the company. Samsung has reportedly begun early development of a successor to the Galaxy Z TriFold, its dual-hinged phone that unfolds into something much closer to a proper tablet.

According to Korean publication ETNews, Samsung has already shared information about the next-generation project with suppliers, but its final specifications have yet to be decided. One detail should immediately grab the attention of anyone who buys a foldable primarily for its display. A source familiar with the project told ETNews that Samsung is currently targeting a screen size similar to the original TriFold.

Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Android 17 could make one of its most powerful app permissions harder to approve without a second thought. New warning text explains that trusted apps may view and interact with screen content, even while the phone is locked.

Nerd’s Chalk uncovered the language in an APK teardown of Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1. The feature isn’t active, but Google’s description now leaves considerably less to the imagination.
