Razer Phone 2 Hands-on

Looking for a super powerful and ultra high-end smartphone? The Razer Phone 2 made headlines for being one of the first high-end gaming phones, following in the footsteps of the original Razer Phone. And now, for Amazon Prime Day, the device is available for a hefty $400 off — which is 50 percent off the original price of $800. We’re on the second day of the Prime Day 2019 event now, and the deal is still live — but if you’re interested you’ll want to act quick as it likely won’t last much longer.

The Razer Phone 2 is an excellent buy if you’re looking for a powerful Android device. The phone offers a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, which is Qualcomm’s flagship chip for 2018, plus it has a whopping 8GB of RAM — which is plenty for even the most intensive smartphone users. When it comes to storage, this version of the phone has 64GB, which again should be enough for most.

Perhaps the best part about the Razer Phone 2 is that it’s set up for gaming and media. The device has some of the best stereo front-facing speakers you can find in a smartphone today. Even better than the speakers is the display: There’s a a 5.72-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440, with a refresh rate of 120Hz. That means you get ultra smooth motion when scrolling through apps like Twitter and Instagram, and it also means games look and feel more fluid.

Other handy features of the phone include great battery life, thanks to a massive 4,000mAh battery capacity, and relatively clean Android software. The phone recently got the update to Android Pie, which is the latest and greatest version of Android, and that means that you’ll get all the sweet features Android Pie has to offer — like better multitasking and on-device machine learning. You also get access to a customizable RGB light on the back of the phone, for some added visual flair.

At $400, the Razer Phone 2 is incredible value for Amazon Prime Day. It’s one of the cheapest flagship-level Android phones out there.

Surprise, surprise, the Amazon Echo Dot 5 is on sale during Prime Day deals. We were expecting this, but maybe not a deal quite this good. The Amazon Echo Dot 5 (the latest Echo Dot) is now on sale for just $25. That's half off of the usual $50. The hitch, of course, being that you need to be an Amazon Prime member.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Dot 5
The Amazon Echo Dot 5 is a smart home speaker and portal to your smart home. You can talk with Alexa via it and, yes, as our Amazon Echo Dot 5 review points out, use Alexa as your alarm clock. When we talk about what Amazon Echo to buy, other notable features of the 5th generation of the device come to the front. In addition to having retuned sounds, this has temperature and motion sensors for cool tricks, so be sure to pair it with your smart thermostat, if possible. It also has an eero built-in to its core. Not bad for just $25.

Pricey Bosch brushless drill and driver kit just $99 on Prime Day
A brushless Bosch drill/driver kit with an included bag and the charger for an unseen 18V battery that is also included in the kit.

Did you buy one of the slim TVs that are becoming fairly ubiquitous among the best Prime Day TV deals this year? You just might want to wall mount it, but before you pick up that hammer and nail or screwdriver and screw, you should possibly reconsider. There are great Prime Day cordless drill deals going on right now, too, like this one on a Bosch drill and driver kit, complete with a carry bag, battery, and battery charger. The kit is yours for just $99 right now, which is a savings of $120 from its typical price of $219. All you need to do to pick up this Prime Day power tool deal is tap the button below and be a Prime member. Not a member yet? Don't worry. You can always sign up for the Amazon Prime free trial and take advantage of this deal.

 
Why you should buy the Bosch drill and driver Kit
This kit includes a powerful drill/driver with up to 1,900 RPM that delivers 535 in.-lbs. of torque. When you want to maximize speed, you can kick on the high-speed setting, screwing and drilling at up to 1,900 RPM. Or, when the drilling gets tough, slide it to a high-powered mode that brings the RPM down to 600 or less, letting the drill focus on making progress, not speeding through it. On the top of the drill's base (just below your fingers), there is a powerful, toggleable LED light that is perfect for dark corners and hard-to-see markings. And best of all, the Bosch drill and driver is, well, brushless. We all know that contractors won't touch tools that aren't brushless, and now we can be one of them.
