Amazon's fall shopping extravaganza is finally here! Big Deal Days is live and ends tomorrow at midnight (PT), and it's bringing major savings on all the tech upgrades you could possibly desire. And here at PCMag Deals, we've spent weeks sifting through the depths of deals pages to find the best discounts on big-name tech and have collected them all right here, just for you.

Estimating the number of people living with metastatic breast cancer: a population-based retrospective cohort study using linked health data
Keywords Breast cancer Metastatic disease Prevalence Survivorship Population-based Evidence before this study We searched PubMed using the MeSH terms “Breast Neoplasms”, “Neoplasm Metastasis” and “Prevalence”, and from these results identified studies that reported population-based prevalence of metastatic breast cancer. Several studies have reported the size of the prevalent cohort of people with metastatic breast cancer in the USA, Australia and Brazil, and jurisdictions within the UK.
The Best T-Mobile Phones for 2026
Check out the top phones we've tested for T-Mobile—including the models you need to get the fastest network speeds. 65 EXPERTS 43 YEARS 41,500+ REVIEWS T-Mobile is consistently among our readers' favorite major carriers, and PCMag has been reviewing phones compatible with the wireless provider for two decades. The company's 5G network is fast and reliable; however, for optimal performance, it is recommended to use the latest handsets.
The Best AT&T Phones for 2026
Is AT&T's 5G Network Good? AT&T typically ranks third in national network surveys, but it still has excellent 4G and 5G performance nationwide. Although the carrier once confusingly sold its 4G network as 5G Evolution (or 5G E), it has since dropped that name from ads. AT&T uses a mix of low-band, mid-band (C-band), and high-band (mmWave) frequencies for its 5G networks. Low-band frequencies can reach faraway phones, but the trade-off is lower speeds.
Amazon Kindle Colorsoft
The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft ($249.99) is slightly cheaper than the Kindle Color Signature Edition ($279.99) while still offering many of the same features. It has the same color E Ink display, a waterproof design, and no cover-screen ads. To hit the lower price point, Amazon has reduced the storage, removed wireless charging, and the front light lacks automatic adjustment.
Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Kids
While no one will argue that $269.99 is a lot of money to spend on an ereader for children, the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Kids is actually a pretty good value. For $20 more than the Colorsoft on its own, you get a Colorsoft, your choice of two cases, a two-year warranty, and a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+.
Onyx Boox Go Color 7 (Gen II)
The first-generation Onyx Book Go Color 7 impressed us with its color E Ink display, physical page-turn buttons, generous storage, and access to third-party apps via the Google Play Store. The $249.99 Onyx Boox Go Color 7 (Gen II) builds on that foundation with updated software and stylus support, allowing you to take handwritten notes directly on documents or in digital notebooks.
Kobo Clara Colour
The Kobo Clara Colour delivers most of what you could want from a color ereader for a reasonable $159.99 price. It's compact, waterproof, and features a vibrant color display with impressive battery life. Thanks to Kobo's partnership with iFixit, it's also user-repairable—so you can replace individual components if something breaks. Like all Kobo devices, it integrates with OverDrive, allowing you to connect your library card and borrow ebooks or audiobooks from supported libraries.
The Best Apple AirPods to Buy in 2025 in the UAE and Saudi Arabia
Apple's AirPods are typically the best option for your wireless audio needs if you have an iPhone, an iPad, or a Mac. PCMag's audio experts have reviewed every set of headphones Apple has released (all the way back to the wired EarPods), so you can trust our advice on which are worth buying. We follow an independent and ethical review process, which means you can trust us to steer you toward the same products we'd choose for ourselves.
Onyx Boox Tab X C
The Onyx Boox Tab X C (starting at $819.99) is a massive ereader and tablet hybrid with a huge color E Ink display. Although the screen looks superb and the writing and notetaking experience with the included stylus is enjoyable, the Tab X C lacks the power to run third-party apps smoothly and suffers from shorter battery life compared with other ereaders. Moreover, the nature of an E Ink screen means it isn't a good choice for watching videos or gaming, and the tablet feels oversized for reading.
I Love This $250 Phone's Terrific Display, But Not Much Else
Apple iOS 26.1 Release Date: This Will Be The Next Key iPhone Update — Here’s When Updated Oct. 30 with more details of the next iPhone software update. Apple has a new iPhone update in the wings, and it’s about to make its entrance. Although there had been plentiful reports that an interim update was on its way, it’s now near-certain that the next iPhone software release will be …
TCL Flip 4 5G
The TCL Flip 4 5G ($99.99) is the first of the company's voice phones to come with 5G, and it benefits from an improved design, a quicker processor, and significantly longer battery life compared with its predecessor. The phone retains the excellent call quality, large keypad, Wi-Fi support, and email access of previous models, though we wish the user interface were more capable.
Best Fire TV Stick for 2025: Fire Stick 4K Max, Cube and More
Amazon is one of the biggest names in the streaming thanks to its Fire TV devices, ranging from the straightforward Fire TV Stick HD to the feature-packed Fire TV Cube. We’ve tested most of these options (and everything in between) alongside offerings from Roku, Google and Apple. While Roku often wins us over with its easy-to-navigate, neutral platform, Amazon’s Fire TV Sticks shine for Alexa fans and those who have other Amazon devices.
Best Fire TV Stick for 2025: Fire Stick 4K, Lite and More
Amazon has made a big splash in the streaming world with its Fire TV devices, ranging from the straightforward Fire TV Stick Lite to the feature-packed Fire TV Cube. We’ve tested these options (and everything in between) alongside offerings from Roku, Google and Apple. While Roku often wins us over with its easy-to-navigate, neutral platform, Amazon’s Fire TV Sticks shine for Alexa fans and those deep into the Amazon ecosystem.
I’m a Tablet Expert and I’m Telling You This Prime Day Deal Can’t Be Beat
My Expertise I’m a Mobile Analyst at PCMag, which means I cover wireless phones, plans, tablets, ereaders, and a whole lot more. I’ve always loved technology and have been forming opinions on consumer electronics since childhood. Prior to joining PCMag, I covered TVs and home entertainment at CNET, served as the tech and electronics reviews fellow at Insider, and began my career by writing laptop reviews as an intern at Tom's Hardware.
Onyx Boox Note Air 4 C
The Onyx Boox Note Air 4 C ($529.99) is a strong follow-up to the impressive Note Air 3 C ($499.99). It builds on the excellent battery life, display, and build quality of its predecessor with updated software and smoother overall performance. We love that it continues to support the Google Play Store, so you can download and read books from whichever digital reading platform you prefer.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs. Motorola Razr Ultra: The Ultimate Flip Phone Face-Off
2 days ago Except for the price. We didn’t ask for that. Samsung just announced its seventh-generation folding phones, and it finally retired the long and narrow Z Fold design that it had stuck with for far too long. The Z Flip is also getting an overdue upgrade to a full-size cover screen rather than the file …
I Love the iPad Air and You Can Get It for Less Than I Did on Prime Day
There aren't many moments in the year when you'll find deep discounts on current Apple iPad models, but Amazon Prime Day is one of them. I'm Sarah Lord, and I've been writing about and using various iPad models for years now. I really do love them all, but the iPad Air is the one I end up recommending the most to students, creators, or anyone else who needs a little bit of power.
Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids
Amazon’s $189.99 Fire HD 10 Kids takes the $139.99 Fire HD 10 and bundles it with a child-friendly case, a two-year replacement warranty, and one year of the Amazon Kids+ subscription service. The tablet's 10-inch display is reasonably bright and sharp, and we like that its thick and colorful case has a kickstand. Amazon’s Kids+ adds a great deal of child-friendly content, including fun apps, books, games, and videos.
Minimal Phone
The Minimal Phone (starting at $499) aims to be less distracting than other smartphones to help you regain focus on your time and life. It does this primarily through a black-and-white E Ink display that is intentionally less than ideal for consuming social media and video content. While we like its clean design, physical keyboard, and multi-day battery life, the phone's performance is slow, it doesn't support 5G, and its cameras are barely functional.
Is Your Phone's Layout Boring You To Death? Here Are 4 Easy Ways to Personalize Your Android
I test a lot of Android phones, and the software looks the same on most of them. There's a home screen, a standard background, and icons that are all the same shape and size. After a while, that gets boring, so sometimes, I like to switch things up. One advantage of having an Android phone is the operating system's flexibility.
Motorola Moto G Stylus (2025)
The 2025 version of the Motorola Moto G Stylus offers a better display, a swifter processor, and a more protective waterproof rating than its predecessor, all for the same $399.99 price. The standout feature remains its embedded stylus, which is now paired with AI features, including Sketch to Image and a Handwriting Calculator.
Motorola Razr (2025)
The 2025 Motorola Razr ($699.99) is an attractive and feature-rich folding phone that keeps its price in check by dialing back some of the specs available to its high-end stablemate, the $1,299.99 Razr Ultra. Its inner and outer displays are bright and useful, its compact clamshell design slides comfortably into your pocket, and its long battery life helps get you through the day. But it isn't very powerful, its cameras are so-so at best, and its AI tools aren't the smartest.
Gabb Phone 4 Pro
The Gabb Phone 4 Pro ($199.99 plus monthly service) is a customized Android phone that gives teens basic communication tools while providing parents with peace of mind. Young people can make calls, send texts, and video chat with approved contacts, while parents can monitor the content of conversations and track the phone's location. While parents might feel good about giving this phone to their kids thanks to its tight controls, teens will likely find it woefully restrictive.
Full article: Mindful moms: acceptability and impact of co-designed and digitally delivered video meditations for pregnant and parenting women with opioid use disorder
Abstract Introduction: Perinatal opioid use disorder (OUD) remains a public health epidemic. Stress, anxiety and depression are disproportionately high among this population and are associated with poor recovery outcomes. Mindfulness interventions show promise for supporting recovery for women.
T-Mobile Revvl 7 Pro 5G
The T-Mobile Revvl 7 Pro 5G ($249.99), a network exclusive, is a decent affordable phone. It offers good performance for the price, has solid battery life, and features a crisp and bright display. That said, we wish it came with less bloatware and had better cameras, faster 5G, and a clear support commitment from T-Mobile. The Samsung Galaxy A26 5G costs $50 more, but it's compatible with more networks and will get more software updates.
AirTag vs. Tile: The Ultimate Lost-and-Found Showdown
Price and Variety Neither the new AirTag nor a Tile will break the bank. A single AirTag sells for $29; you can get a pack of four for $99. However, you still need to buy a loop or strap to attach your tag to whatever you wish to track. Apple sells a range of AirTag accessories, ranging in price from $12.95 for key rings to $39.99 for a pack of four holders from Belkin or OtterBox. Third-party options available from Amazon cost far less. Tile’s lineup is more diverse.
Motorola's 2025 Moto G Stylus 5G Packs Improved AI and Cameras
The Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G is back, and ready to thrill stylus lovers. The 2025 version of the company’s stylus-wielding phone focuses on improvements across the board, with more AI features, a better camera module, a more visible display, and enhanced writing and drawing capabilities – all while maintaining its $399.99 price. The phone runs a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, an upgrade over the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in last year’s model.
The Best Phones for Seniors in 2025 in the UAE and Saudi Arabia
The Best Voice Phones We regularly get emails from readers who are frustrated because they don't feel like there are enough simple, high-quality voice phones. They look at the current lineup of voice phones and see them as a step back, not a step up. They're right. The hardware demands of 4G LTE voice calling mean inexpensive voice phones are slower and less reliable than in the past. We've tested several, and the one we recommend most right now is the TCL Flip 2. It's cheap, and it works well.

Best E Ink Tablets of 2025 for Reading and Note-Taking
An environmentally friendly and tech-savvy way to keep your notes is here. With an E Ink tablet, you can jot everything down in one place and even store your notes on an online cloud to avoid losing them. And unlike standard tablets from companies like Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and Amazon, E Ink tablets are designed to make reading and writing feel more natural and easier on the eyes.

Your Moto Phone and Lenovo PC Will Soon Work Better Together With Smart Connect AI Updates
Motorola Smart Connect—the integration feature that seamlessly blends Motorola phones with Lenovo PCs—is getting even smarter, thanks to a healthy dose of AI. Announced at MWC, Moto AI will now allow you to send what is on your phone's screen to a TV, PC, or tablet with a text or voice command. You can also use natural language to generate an AI search, while a new dashboard gives you easy access to your Moto Tag, Moto Buds, and PC.
Honor Unveils Its 'Alpha Plan' at MWC 2025, Including $10 Billion AI Investment
Honor has big plans for AI. At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the company announced a new investment to create a seamless AI ecosystem across devices. Honor has pledged to invest $10 billion over the next five years to help facilitate the development of what the company calls an "intelligent phone” that promises to transform human-to-device relationships. The company didn't say what this new phone might look like or how its technology will differ from what is currently on the market.
Honor's Magic Phones to Get 7 Years of OS and Software Support
Some Honor phones are getting a major commitment. The company announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that all of its Magic Series phones will receive seven years of OS and security updates. Previously, flagship Honor phones received only five years of both OS and security updates. Lengthening the support window by two years puts Honor on par with Google and Samsung as the only manufacturers to offer seven years of Android updates and security patches to their phones.
Miss Your BlackBerry? Clicks Keyboard Cases Arrive for Select Android Phones
BlackBerry lovers with Android phones can finally relive their favorite typing experience. Clicks, the keyboard case manufacturer that previously only made cases for iPhones, is now releasing Android-compatible cases for the Google Pixel 9, Google Pixel 9 Pro, the 2024 Razr+, and the Galaxy S25. Preorders begin today, and the cases will be available in the spring. Clicks cases provide a full physical keyboard that sits permanently below their phone.

Best Roku TV for 2025
Most TVs are now smart TVs, which allow you to easily watch the best streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney Plus and Netflix. All offer access to the biggest streaming apps, but there are differences among them. Some offer a clean interface and easy access to what you want, while others can be cluttered and riddled with ads and promotions.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 Brings AI to Even More Phones
Affordable phones are about to get a big boost in power. Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, an update to its lineup of midrange mobile chips. At its most basic level, the company claims the 6 Gen 4's CPU performs 11% faster, the GPU performs 29% faster, and the power savings totals 12% when compared with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3. Those moderate power bumps mean your average everyday phone will be able to run some generative AI on-device, rather than having to rely on the cloud.
Nothing Teases (3a) Phone That Focuses on 'Core User Needs'
Nothing fans are about to get a new phone. The British company announced that it will be releasing a new Phone (3a) this year, with full details dropping on March 4. The low-cost (3a) phone is the successor to the difficult-to-get Phone (2a), which was released in early March 2024. There are few solid details of what to expect from the new phone, though the company promises to focus on the camera, processor, screen, and design.
Motorola Moto G (2025)
The 2025 Motorola Moto G looks and feels good, thanks to a sturdy frame and a vegan leather finish, and the price is right at $199.99. We also appreciate its impressive battery life, but the phone hasn’t changed much from the 2024 model. Worse, some updated components, like the processor, struggle to match the outgoing phone, let alone the competition.
Samsung Galaxy S25 vs. Apple iPhone 16: Flagship Phone Showdown
Galaxy S25 vs. iPhone 16: Price There are three Galaxy S25 phones and four iPhone 16 models to choose from. The Galaxy S25 starts at $799.99 for 128GB of storage and 12GB of RAM, while the Samsung Galaxy S25+ starts at $999.99 for 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the most expensive, starting at $1,299.99 for 256GB and 12GB of RAM. The iPhone 16 starts at $799 for 128GB of storage.
OnePlus 13R
The OnePlus 13R ($599.99) costs $100 more than its predecessor, but that extra Franklin goes a long way. It packs a powerful new chip, an improved camera system, and a larger battery that lasts longer than most of the competition. We like its flagship-level hardware, sharp screen, and clear speakers, but wish the phone included wireless charging, stronger protection from the elements, and more meaningful AI features.
OnePlus 13 Launches With 24+ Hours of Battery Life, AI-Editing Tricks
OnePlus is back with its latest lineup of affordable flagship phones. The company announced the global release of the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R at CES on Tuesday. The phones, which have been on sale in China since October, come with improved processors, AI enhancements, and a large, 6,000mAh battery. OnePlus offers Android phones with many top-of-the-line specs at a price that undercuts offerings from larger companies like Samsung and Google.
OnePlus 13 Launches With 24+ Hours of Battery Life, AI-Editing Tricks

OnePlus 13
The OnePlus 13 (starting at $899.99) might cost $100 more than its predecessor, but the new model is improved in nearly all the right ways. It has a sleek design that's more durable, it pushes the screen brightness to levels we haven't seen before, and its battery life is among the best available from an Android phone. Further, OnePlus adopts a modest amount of AI in an attempt to catch the competition and pushes its photography forward through its ongoing partnership with Hasselblad.
Amazon Kindle Scribe (2024)
The $399.99 Kindle Scribe for 2024 is a slight update to the original model from 2022. Amazon has marginally improved the note-taking software, but the process of annotating text is still far more difficult than it should be. Moreover, the new Scribe carries over the unimpressive performance and low base storage of the older model while raising the price by $60. That said, we like its large and bright display, the included Premium Pen, and the natural feel of taking notes on the textured glass.
