Why you should buy the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is one of the biggest and most advanced smartphones Google has ever made.

We love the LG G4 Series OLED, and today every size is on sale!
LG G4 OLED

Many of the best OLED TVs are produced by notable TV brands like Samsung and Sony. The focus of this article is the last of the big three: LG. For years, LG was actually the only TV manufacturer making OLED sets, allowing the company to truly corner the market on the picture tech. When it comes to OLED, it’s hard to beat LG, and right now LG’s 2024 flagship model is on sale:

For a limited time, when you purchase the LG 77-inch G4 Series 4K OLED at Best Buy, Walmart, B&H Photo-Video, and a few other sites and shops, you’ll only pay $3,000. The full MSRP on this model is $4,000.

While the Google Pixel 9a faces delays, the Pixel 8a sees discounts
Google Pixel 9a vs Pixel 8a.

It's a tale of two phones. The Google Pixel 9a (seen on the left in the image above) is set to release soon, with pre-order deals ready to launch at any moment. Unfortunately, the anticipated budget phone has run into delays. The good news is that we can now get the Google Pixel 8a (seen on the right in the image above) for a much cheaper price, down $100 to $399 for an unlocked phone and $200 to $299 for a locked phone from Best Buy. Those are both from the base price of $499, which is what the 9a will retail at as well, so it is incredibly easy to do a cost comparison. Here, we're going to make the case for getting a Google Pixel 8a on a discount instead of waiting for the delayed, full-price Google Pixel 9a. If you don't need any reassurance, however, you can tap the button below to start shopping.

It’s Sonos sales week! (That’s the unofficial name we’re sticking with.) Sonos’ wireless speakers, soundbars, subwoofers, and a few other devices are discounted this week, including the Sonos Beam (Gen 2). For as long as this sale lasts, you’ll be able to purchase the latest version of the Beam for only $400. That’s a $100 discount off the soundbar’s MSRP.

When we tested the Beam (Gen 2) a couple of years back, resident AV expert Simon Cohen said, “Dolby Atmos adds a splash of 3D fun to an already excellent soundbar.”
