Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 for $899.99 ($100 Off)—Best Price

Folding-screen phones are all the rage right now, which unfortunately means they're quite expensive, even by smartphone standards. If you've been waiting for the cost to go down a bit before you buy one, don't miss out on this chance to get the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 while it's at its lowest price point yet.

With 512 GB of internal storage and a nice compact, foldable size, there's a lot to love about this smartphone from Samsung right off the bat. The cover screen is larger than the previous generation, and a redesigned hinge allows the phone to fold 100% flat and smooth.

Its battery life and overall performance won't disappoint, either. This phone is powered by the most efficient chips currently available for Android phones, ensuring that you won't experience any lagging or delays when performing everyday tasks like browsing social media, surfing the web, or streaming your favorite shows.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 also happens to be fast charging compatible (as well as suitable for 15W wireless charging and 4.5W reverse wireless charging), so even when the long-lasting dual-battery system runs low, you'll have your new phone fully juiced and ready to go in almost no time.

Ring Video Doorbell for $54.99 ($45 Off)—Best Price

A little extra home security rarely goes amiss, so if you don't already have some sort of camera setup for your home's entryway, why not take advantage of this opportunity to grab the Ring Video Doorbell for a reduced price?

This updated version of the original Ring doorbell camera offers better motion detection, clearer nighttime visuals, and improved privacy features than ever before. It's easy to install and set up, with all the tools you need to mount it on your doorframe. If you have the know-how, you can connect it to your actual doorbell via wires for an unlimited power supply. If not, it'll run equally well on the built-in rechargeable battery that won't ever require replacing.

Once the camera is installed, download the Ring App on your smartphone and use it to access the camera at any time. Not only will you be able to see whoever comes to your door, but you'll be able to hear them and even speak to them directly without leaving your home. The Ring app also allows you to select the type of alerts you want to receive and the modes you want activated, check on your Ring Video Doorbell's health, and much more.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K for $22.99 ($27 Off)—Best Price

With so many streaming services these days, keeping track of them all and remembering which show is on which app may seem like an impossible task at times. This is when it's the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K's time to shine, especially if you own a Fire TV. That said, you don't need one, or even a smart TV, in order to take advantage of this handy little device; as long as your TV has an HDMI port and can play either HD or 4K content, you're all set.

One of our favorite streaming devices of 2023, this version of the Fire Stick is, as its name implies, 4K capable as well as Dolby Vision, HDR, and HDR10+ compatible. It provides you with access to all the major streaming services in one convenient spot, from Hulu to Netflix to Disney+ and beyond. It's especially useful for accessing Amazon Prime Video, though a Prime account isn't required to use it. You can even use it to access and scroll through regular live TV.

Besides the Fire Stick itself, you'll receive a remote that's voice-activated, so you don't have to press any buttons or spend extra minutes digging through your streaming app while looking for the show or movie you want to watch, plus an HDMI extender, USB cable, power adapter, and three AAA batteries. Using the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is a cinch, too— all you have to do is make sure your television is connected to the internet, stick the Fire Stick directly into one of its HDMI ports, plug it into a wall outlet, and you'll instantly have access to millions of television shows and movies.

Echo Show 8 + Blink Mini Bundle for $64.99 ($99.99 Off)—Best Price Ever

A device that's basically a tablet and smart speaker in one, the Echo Show is a handy addition to any household by itself, especially smart homes— and that's before you throw in a Blink Mini as an added bonus, as this Echo Show 8 + Blink Mini Bundle offers.

The Echo Show 8 performs several different functions in one convenient package. It allows you to access and control most of your Alexa-compatible devices from a single hub, from cameras to lights and beyond, either on the interactive display or with your voice. The Echo can also be used to play movies and TV shows from your favorite streaming services, make video calls with loved ones, play your Spotify playlist, set alarms and reminders, check the weather, and display your favorite digital pictures through Amazon Photos. And the wide 8-inch HD screen coupled with the 13 MP camera and stereo speakers ensure top-notch audio and visuals at all times.

The Blink Mini that comes included in this Echo Show 8 + Blink Mini Bundle is an addition that parents and pet owners in particular will appreciate. This 1080P HD indoor security camera allows you to see and hear what's going on inside your home, whether you're keeping an eye on your pet while you're at work or monitoring your little one in their crib or playpen. And the two-way audio not only allows you to hear if your pet is whining or your baby is crying, but lets you speak to and be heard by them as well. The Blink smartphone app gives you access to the camera even when you're not at home and allows you to receive custom-tailored alerts to your phone as well.

Kindle Scribe for $264.99 ($75 Off)—Best Price Ever

Kindles are the most popular eReaders on the market today, and the Amazon Kindle Scribe offers more versatility than most of its cousins. If you prefer to take notes by hand, want to draw pictures to accompany your notes, or simply enjoy doodling or sketching, this particular Kindle will be right up your alley.

Perhaps most notable about this Kindle is that it comes with a stylus pen that allows you to add handwritten notes to your eBooks and import PDFs via the Kindle app or desktop web browser and hand write or hand draw on them as desired. You can even send yourself Word documents directly, provided you have a Microsoft 365 subscription. This handy feature is great for taking notes in class, keeping a personal journal for gardening or cooking, making grocery lists, and other similar functions. You can even resize, move, and copy/paste your notes. And as a bonus, the pen never requires charging in order to work.

The pen and ability to hand draw/write on the surface isn't the only reason to invest in the Amazon Kindle Scribe, either. The large, crisp screen boasts a 300 PPI high-resolution display and will automatically adjust its brightness to suit the light levels of your environment. The 10.2-inch screen is also glare-free, so you can relax outside with an eBook even when the sun is at its peak.
