The Amazon Cyber Monday deals just keep rolling in. They have even marked down the OnePlus 8T 5G Android Smartphone to just $630 — a full $120 discount. But you’ll want to act fast if you want to save because the Cyber Monday deal expires in just 12 hours.

In a matchup between the OnePlus 8T and the iPhone 12, the OnePlus 8T offers nearly identical performance, design, display, camera quality, 5G support, and battery life to Apple’s flagship product. And now, with this unprecedented discount, it’s down to just $630. If you’re looking to invest in a new, high-quality smartphone, this may just be the best — and even most affordable — deal for you.

The OnePlus 8T, which we reviewed just last month, delivers a slew of incredible features at a relatively low price. Its newest and perhaps most impressive feature is the phone’s battery, which only requires fifteen total minutes of charging time for a full day of power — yes, really. Of course, the 120Hz fluid display also delivers stunning, ultra-smooth quality on the 6.55-inch screen. It even refreshes twice as fast as standard smartphone displays. The 48MP Quad Camera allows for crisp, fluid, and overall staggeringly high-quality photos and videos, including lenses for both ultra-wide and portrait modes as well as the all-new primary Monochrome Lens. Plus, the 5G performance of the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor paired with the 12GB of RAM delivers impressively speedy functionality on apps, games, and more. You can keep reading about all of the features we love on this phone if you want a more detailed rundown.

Luckily, if you’re not totally sold on the OnePlus 8T, there are plenty more Cyber Monday smartphone deals where that came from. In fact, if you don’t like the OnePlus 8T or iPhone 12, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is of equal caliber and currently on sale for just $900 on Amazon — a full $300 price cut. On par with the best smartphones on the market today, the Galaxy S20 Plus delivers impressive, reliable, and in some cases, even superior design, camera, performance, and battery life to some of its competitors. Although it’s a bit more of a splurge, it’s well worth the money — especially at such a huge discount.

TCL's 5-Series 4K QLED Google TV.

It is now officially Cyber Monday and the time to take advantage of all the excellent Cyber Monday deals on TVs. Luckily, if you're in the market for a massive 75-incher, Best Buy has got your back with this excellent TCL 5-series with a great discount from $1,100 down to $800. That's a great $300 discount, and probably the best one you're going to see for a while, given that not only is Cyber Monday the last big sale of the year, there isn't another great sales event for a few months after the new year. So, if you've been waiting to grab a deal, don't wait any longer, or you'll miss out.

Why you should buy the TCL 5-Series 4K QLED Roku TV
The TCL S555 is the new 5-Series model for 2022 which the brand just recently released. For its new 5-Series TVs, TCL went back to the Roku streaming platform, which should be a welcome change for many who were not fans of the Google TV OS found on the 2021 TCL S546 models. Although most of the bugs and kinks seem to have been fixed now with Google TV, the Roku software interface is still favored by many streamers thanks to its simplicity and user-friendliness. The Roku home screen puts all of your most-used streaming apps and input devices right there, letting you easily switch between your cable box, gaming console, media player, or streaming platforms without having to navigate input menus.

Can you get gifts for Christmas if you shop the Cyber Monday deals now?
Pink gift with confetti

Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are great opportunities to buy up all the holiday gifts you're planning on giving this year. You're going to spend the money eventually, so why not save a few bucks. Well, Black Friday has come and gone, and Cyber Monday only has a few hours left before it also dips below the horizon. So are there any deals left on Christmas gifts? And if you order something now, will it arrive in time to go under the Christmas tree?

Let's answer the first question: Yes, there are still deals available on popular Christmas items. It depends on how specific you want to be, and which items you're looking for. For instance, Cyber Monday tablet deals are still humming along. Amazon Fire tablets are still on sale, up to 50% off even! But if the tablet you're dead set on buying is a Cyber Monday iPad Pro deal, things are looking a little more sparse. There are still a few at Amazon, but their shipping times are pushed out very close to Christmas. Our advice for grabbing those hard-to-find items is to shop around. Don't settle for Amazon's price if Best Buy or Walmart also offer the same product. Every retailer is dealing is a global supply shortage on consumer electronics right now, but that doesn't mean every retailer will sell out at the same time.
