What is it with OnePlus and not making it perfectly obvious there is a deal going on when you look at the price? Like another ongoing OnePlus deal, there’s a deal on the OnePlus Nord N30 5G (the OnePlus budget phone to beat), but you won’t see any fancy slashes through the price. There’s just a thin blue line at the top that tells you that you can enter the code SPRING25 to save $70 on the phone. Once you see it, it is very obvious, but if you’re the type to zero in on the price, you could easily miss the fact that the budget $300 can now be gotten for just $230 instead.

This is one of the best phone deals on the market for today if you want to spend the least amount of money possible on a phone. Tap the button below to check it out yourself or keep reading to see if the Nord N30 5G has enough power to fulfill your needs.

Why you should buy the OnePlus Nord N30 5G

The big question that has to be on your mind before buying a $230 phone is simple: Can it actually function? Our OnePlus Nord N30 5G review says “yes.” Our reviewer was not only able to play Marvel Snap on the phone, but was able to do so for a full hour and not totally drain the battery. It’s the kind of real world technical test that can tell you even more than other positive stats, such as the 120Hz refresh rate screen. The OnePlus Nord N30 5G also has a headphone jack, if that matters to you.

It’s worth noting that the review wasn’t 100% positive, as our reviewer found the camera to work less well in dark lighting, but if you’re used to older phones or are coming from another budget phone, you’re probably not going to find this as much of an issue as our reviewer did. Check out the review and take a look at our pics yourself to help make the decision easier.

If you want one of the best budget phones you can buy today, go ahead and take a look at this deal on the OnePlus Nord N30 5G. If you enter the code SPRING25 upon checkout you can get the $300 phone for just $230, saving you $70 in the process. Just tap the button below to get the offer. Then, go check out our favorite budget headphones and earbuds to pair with your new phone.

Even if you're only interested in affordability, there's a productivity tablet out there for you. You don't need a bulky 2-in-1 tablet and laptop hybrid, either. Sometimes it's as simple as getting a tablet with a good screen, some basic collab features (with your other devices, you'll still need to find people to collaborate with on your own), and the option for a mobile connection, all at a great price.

Today's best tablet deal brings you all of that — the Lenovo Tab K11 LTE is down to $198 after an $82 discount from its usual price of $280. Tap the button below to see the tablet up close for yourself and take advantage of the deal while it lasts, or keep reading to see our take.

Phone rescue mission ends in failure for ‘foolish’ Mount Fuji climber
Japan's Mount Fuji.

The Japanese have a famous proverb about its highest mountain. It translates roughly as, “A wise person climbs Mount Fuji once; only a fool climbs it twice.” An even bigger goofball does it twice in the space of a few days outside of the official climbing season -- the second time to retrieve a smartphone lost during the first attempt. But that's exactly what happened.

A Chinese national who recently visited the mountain clearly had no knowledge of the famous saying. Nor did he realize that scaling the 3,776-meter-high mountain at this time of year is extremely hazardous due to the harsh conditions that include snow, ice, and inclement weather.

Nothing will end dry streak and bring its next flagship phone to the US market
A person holding the Nothing Phone 3a Pro.

Nothing has made quite a splash in the smartphone industry with bold design and aggressive pricing, but so far, its phones have eluded the US market. Officially, that is. For those willing to take the plunge, the beta program has allowed enthusiasts to grab one, assuming they could sort out the carrier situation. 

That will change later this year. Earlier today, Nothing's chief Carl Pei shared on X that the company’s next flagship is “100%” coming to the US market. Pei was responding to a user’s query regarding the launch status of the Nothing Phone 3, the company’s next mainline phone.
