Here, you can get the OnePlus 12 in its superior 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage version. If you toss in your old phone you can save $100 more, too, via a trade-in offer. Our OnePlus 12 review dubbed it the “phone to beat” around this time last year for its powerful performance, strong battery life, and excellent Hasselblad camera system.

OnePlus Nord N30 5G — $230 $300 23% off + free gift

The Nord N30 5G is Nord’s take on a budget phone, but as you can see from our OnePlus N30 5G review, it doesn’t really have “budget phone quality” and instead can power through games and display in a buttery 120Hz. This deal comes with either a free case ($16 value) or wired earphones ($14) that can plug in via a jack, which the phone has, or USB-C (which it also has).

OnePlus Watch 2 — $250 $300 17% off

Our OnePlus Watch 2 review calls it a smartwatch with an “excellent battery life and a lovely design.” The gorgeous design is noticeable from the picture, but the battery life — which can be extended to around 12 days — is a more interesting story. You can turn it “down” to a power savings mode, which gives the basics but turns off things like the always-on display, apps, and Google Assistant.

OnePlus Watch 2R — $200 $230 13% off

The OnePlus Watch 2R is listed as one of the best smartwatches around, specifically as an excellent budget smartwatch for Android users. And, of course, now marked down to just $200, the budget factor is emphasized even more. Our OnePlus Watch 2R review touts its durable design, great battery life, and easily replaceable watch bands.

OnePlus Pad 2 — $450 $550 18% off + free gift

When we put out our OnePlus Pad 2 review late last year, we immediately considered it the best Android tablet of the year. Nice features include reliable splitscreen, a gorgeous 144Hz screen, and a rare six-speaker setup. Right now you can get a free gift with your purchase, too — a OnePlus Stylo 2 stylus ($100 value) or a folio case for the tablet ($40 value).

OnePlus Buds Pro 3 — $140 $180 22% off

In many ways, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are OnePlus’s answer to the AirPods, but for Android. You see the stem shape and you know what’s up. These buds have noise cancellation, a 43 hour battery life if you include what the case stores, spatial audio, and ANC, among other common buds features. One fun quirk to these, however, is built-in real time AI language translation when you use them paired with newer OnePlus phones.

The wearable on your wrist can predict blood pressure crisis events days in advance
A hypertensive crisis can lead to acute organ damage, and the abrupt spikes in blood pressure are also linked to stroke, kidney damage, fluid backup in the lungs, and heart attack. Research says wearable devices can provide a warning 3 days in advance.
Huawei Watch D3 Blood Pressure (6)

In the domain of wearable devices, we have reached a stage where they are available in a variety of form factors. You can go with a smartwatch, something a little more subtle like a smart band without a screen, or even a smart ring. And as the form factors have continued to evolve, so have the capabilities and the sensing hardware. What started with basic light-based heart rate tracking has now reached a stage where smartwatches are capable of tracking multiple metrics, such as taking electrocardiogram readings, tracking sleep, looking for signs of sleep apnea, or even detecting spikes in blood pressure levels.

Now, fresh research courtesy of the American Heart Association claims that these mass-market wearable devices can help predict episodes of dangerously high blood pressure, or hypertensive crisis, up to three days in advance. The research was conducted over a period of 12 months and involved more than 4,000 participants living with stage 2 high blood pressure.

Wear OS is borrowing your phone’s status bar so you never lose track of time
Your smartwatch is finally getting the one thing it was weirdly missing.
The Pixel Watch on a person's wrist.

If you have ever opened an app on your Wear OS smartwatch and had no idea what time it was, Google is working on a fix. In October, the company launched a Wear OS canary emulator inside Android Studio. It lets developers try out new features and design tweaks well before Google ships them to anyone’s wrist.

The biggest addition in this build is a status bar that never leaves. It lives at the top edge of your round watch face, floats above whatever app you have open, and keeps the clock and your watch’s status icons in view.

Samsung’s first AI glasses could arrive in December, but only in two countries
Samsung's Gemini-powered glasses might be arriving a little later than expected, and most countries will have to wait even longer.
Samsung AI Glasses

Samsung's first AI-powered smart glasses are finally getting closer to store shelves. According to a new report from South Korea's ChosunBiz, the company is planning to launch its Intelligent Eyewear in mid-December, and if you're waiting to get your hands on them outside the US or South Korea, you might be disappointed.

For those catching up, we reported earlier in October that Samsung was planning a November launch. However, the latest report suggests the release has been pushed back by a few weeks. Samsung hasn't officially confirmed the new date, and there's still no word on how much the glasses will cost.
