Fall has arrived, and with it comes Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale. Effectively an October repeat of Amazon’s July Prime Day event, it’s another opportunity to pick up some great deals just in time for the holiday season. If you’ve had your eye on a new smartphone, this OnePlus 10 Pro Prime Day Deal is worth a serious look, since you can on OnePlus’ flagship smartphone.

The OnePlus 10 Pro is a worthy successor to the OnePlus 9 Pro, ranking among the best Android smartphones for its attractive design, advanced camera features, and ultrafast charging. It also features a bright and colorful AMOLED screen and comes in sleek Emerald Green and Volcanic Black finishes. OnePlus has added its own spin on Android here in the form of OxygenOS, and while it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, it promises improved efficiency along with better privacy and security than a pure Android experience.

While the OnePlus 10 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus fit into the same premium category, OnePlus edges out the better-known Samsung phone thanks to a larger and sharper screen, improved battery life, and faster charging. OnePlus also has another exciting trick up its sleeve in its partnership with legendary camera maker Hasselblad. While the 48-megapixel (MP) main camera and 50MP wide-angle camera offer similar specs to other smartphones in the same class, OnePlus has involved Hasselblad Master photographers and optics engineers in creating highly accurate color rendering algorithms and advanced filters. If you’re looking for a smartphone that can take great pictures, the OnePlus 10 Pro won’t disappoint.

With Amazon’s Prime Day October deals on there’s no better time to pick up a new smartphone, and with the OnePlus 10 Pro on for only $650 — down from its normal $800 price tag — it’s one of the best Prime Day Phone Deals on right now, especially for such a recent flagship smartphone.

AirPods Pro still at their lowest-ever price following Black Friday

If you've been looking forward to Apple Black Friday deals, the good news is that some of them remain even after the end of the shopping holiday. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are still $49 off on Amazon, dropping them to a historic low of $200 from the typical price of $249. To take advantage of this rare opportunity, be sure to slam them in your cart now, as most Black Friday deals of the same caliber are beginning to disappear, and we're not sure if the wireless earbuds will be this cheap on the upcoming Cyber Monday deals. Or, scroll on down for a moment to look at why the Pros are so professional.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro
If you know about the AirPods 2, you probably don't need a lot of convincing to get them when they're on sale. However, if you're still new to the world of AirPods, here's our AirPods Pro 2 review in a nutshell: a total no-brainer for Apple users. While Android and PC users will still enjoy the advanced ANC and transparency modes, Apple users will enjoy the AirPods Pro 2's ability to instantly recognize other Apple products whenever the case is opened. For example, if you have an iPad (or plan on getting one via these Black Friday iPad deals), you just have to open up your AirPods Pro 2's near it when you want to use it, and everything will be ready for you automatically.

With so many Black Friday deals floating around for headphones and earbuds, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Luckily, if you're a fan of Beats and want to go for one of its products, there are a lot of great Beats Black Friday deals you can take advantage of. So we've rounded up some of the best; whether you want some basic wired Beats Flex or the higher-end Studio3, there are up to nearly $200 worth of discounts available here, so enjoy!
Beats Flex Wireless Earbuds -- $40, was $70

This is probably one of the cheapest Beats Black Friday deals we've seen so far, and we like it since the Beats Flex isn't too bad if you're looking for budget earbuds. The audio quality is pretty good and not too airy, keeping the sounds close to your head, so to speak. Sadly, there's no real EQ adjustment, which is disappointing, but if you like how they're tuned, that's not too much of an issue. Controls and microphones come in a plastic in-line housing and are pretty minimal in terms of control. As for battery life, you'll get about 12 hours out of them, which isn't too bad given how small they are and their budget price range.

Should you buy a tablet on Black Friday or wait for Cyber Monday?

11-inch version of Huawei MatePad Pro tablet

A lot of folks wait all year for Black Friday so they can pick up a tablet, but many also worry about whether waiting for Cyber Monday is a better idea. Well, we'll look into that, as well as some great Black Friday deals you can pick up right now.
Should you buy a tablet on Black Friday?
Yes, absolutely, especially since Black Friday is one of the best times to pick up electronics like tablets. If you're worried about Cyber Monday, the truth is that while offers tend to be mirrored, there's no absolute guarantee that you'll find the same item on sale for the same price or at all. That means you're better off picking up Black Friday tablet deals when you see them rather than waiting. That said, even if you do find a better deal on Cyber Monday, you should still be within the return window for Black Friday, so you can return that tablet for a full refund and buy the one with the better offer.

Fire HD 10 tablet -- $75, was $150

The Fire HD 10 tablet is Amazon's attempt to hit the budget tablet market running, and they do a surprisingly good job of it. You get a 10.1-inch FHD display with relatively good brightness and 3GB of RAM, which is more than enough for most day-to-day usage. With this deal, you also get 32GB of storage, although you can bump it up to the 64GB version if you feel you need it. It has the same experience as the Fire TVs since it carries the same OS, so if you're already a fan of that, you're in luck! One thing we need to point out, though, is that this is a lock screen-ad-supported version, which is why it's so cheap. Luckily, you can get it without the lock screen ads for an extra $15, and we encourage you to do that if you can.
