As a more affordable alternative to Samsung’s flagship smartphones that come with a stylus, the Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G doesn’t disappoint. The device’s stylus is responsive and fluid when used on its 6.6-inch touchscreen with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, with overall performance going smooth because of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor and 6GB of RAM. The 50MP camera system uses Ultra Pixel technology to gather more light for photos, and you’ll have enough space for your photos and videos in its 256GB of internal storage that you can expand by up to 2TB. The Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G ships with Android 13, but you’ll be able to upgrade its operating system to Android 14.

The Motorola Razr is in our roundup of the best phones and the best folding phones as the best cheap folding phone. Despite its relatively more affordable price compared to most of the other foldable phones in the market, the Motorola Razr still provides everything that you’d expect from a folding phone, including a 1.5-inch OLED external display and a 6.9-inch Full HD+ pOLED main display with a 144Hz refresh rate. You can view notifications, play music, record videos with its 64MP main camera, and so much more through the external display so you won’t have to open the Motorola Razr for these functions. The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor and 8GB of RAM, plus Android 13 that you’ll be able to upgrade to Android 14.

Motorola Razr Plus — $700, was $1,000

The Motorola Razr Plus further amplifies the features of the Motorola Razr, starting with the much larger and more useful 3.6-inch pOLED external display where you can run any Android app, though it maintains the 6.9-inch Full HD+ pOLED main display but with a faster refresh rate at 165Hz. Performance is fast and smooth with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and 8GB of RAM, and its Android 13 operating system may be upgraded to Android 14.

It's May today. Well, today and the next 30 days, too. But we're saying "Hello May" with code HELLOMAY at OnePlus to get great deals. For example, you can get the OnePlus Watch 2 — it's a smartwatch with a special hybrid mode that you'll need to keep reading to learn about — that you would normally have to pay $300 for. However, by just entering HELLOMAY upon checkout you'll get it for $50 less, or $250. Tap the button to evaluate the watch yourself or keep reading to see what we liked about this watch and why this is considered one of the best smartwatch deals around today.

Why you should buy the OnePlus Watch 2
When we made our OnePlus Watch 2 review, we reviewed it as a smartwatch with an "excellent battery life and a lovely design." The casing simply looks nice and the textured band is admittedly a step up from the competition and even the likes of what you'll see on a standard nylon G-Shock band, as an example. And, of course, the screen — it has a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen with a crisp 466 x 466 display.

Dive watches have gone smart — Get $200 back on a Garmin dive watch today

In the world of watches, there is something known as a dive watch. Practically speaking, most people that use them don't actually dive with them. Though, unless they're a horribly cheap imitation, they're typically quite water resistant, have highly visible features, and have a rotating ring around the face to help you keep track of your remaining Oxygen. They do something, but not a lot.

That's why lately we've been looking at the latest generation of the Garmin Descent, a smart watch that is a true diver's watch and not merely a "dive watch" in the traditional sense. It's also why we're excited to see a $200 rebate offer across watches in their Mk3 and Mk3i lines. It's all available for you now through July 16 if you tap the button below. That can take a 43mm Descent Mk3 from $1,200 to $1,000, as an example, but literally all of the combinations of sizes and models available on the store page have this offer, so take your pick.
