Pixel 7a falls to new all-time low

Amazon is now offering the best price to date on the Google Pixel 7a. The unlocked 128GB smartphone now starts at $399, dropping from its usual $499 price tag. This is still one of the first cash discounts and clocks in at $100 off. This also beats our previous mention by $45. Google’s new Pixel 7a arrives as the latest version of the brand’s attempt to repackage last year’s phones into a more affordable device. We also just reviewed the device over at 9to5Google, where we walked away quite impressed.

This time around, we’ve found that the Pixel 7a makes no compromises even with the more affordable price tag, delivering a 6.1-inch 1080p display backed by a 90Hz refresh rate. All the usual Pixel niceties are making the cut, with the Tensor G2 chip powering the experience. There’s an upgraded 64 MP camera that comes backed by a 13 MP ultrawide companion, as well as a 4,385mAh battery to round out the package. 

Sony’s all-new XM5 ANC Earbuds see first discount

Amazon is now offering a discount on the collection of Sony’s latest headphones and earbuds. Shipping is free across the board. Headlining the collection are the new Sony XM5 ANC Earbuds at $278. This is the very first chance to save, with $20 off the usual $298 going rate and a new all-time low. So, if you’ve been waiting for a chance to save on one of the more beloved pairs of earbuds here at 9to5, here’s your chance. These earbuds deliver some of the best ANC on the market with foam ear tips and an improved design. There’s also a new V2 processor – you can read about that and everything else in our review

Wyze Cam Pan v2 is now just $22

Amongst an assortment of other Wyze smart cameras, Amazon now offers the Wyze Cam Pan v2 for $21.98 shipped as part of the Prime Big Deal Days event. Normally fetching $50, this is dropping to a new all-time low. It’s a 56% discount and arrives well below our previous $30 mention too. Improving on the original model, the new Wyze Cam Pan v2 now has color night vision support to supplement all the other security chops. There’s a 1080p sensor for capturing the happenings of your home, which rests upon the motorized base that enables 360-degree pan, tilt, and zoom features for comprehensive surveillance. You’ll also be able to pair all of those features with Alexa and Google Assistant to round out the package. Our hands-on review details everything you can expect.

Google Pixel Watch clearance hits $210

If you’re not sold on the new Pixel Watch 2, Amazon is now clearing out the original model to its best price yet. The first Google Pixel Watch now sells for $210. It’s down from the usual $350 price tag and arrives with $140 in savings attached. This is $70 under our previous mention, and the first chance to save since earlier in the summer. Our hands-on review explores just how all of the fitness tracking tech stacks up for daily use, as for how it compares to the new second-generation model.

Google Pixel Watch is the company’s first attempt at packing its usual tech into a wearable form-factor. Centered around a unique circular domed design, the watch is powered by the latest version of Wear OS and backed by all of the Fitbit prowess that Google has now come to own. Alongside being able to track workouts and other daily stats, there’s also sleep and heart rate monitoring to complement the heart rhythm assessment for detecting AFib with the built-in ECG tech.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro ANC earbuds see $60 discount

Amazon is now offering the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for $170 in several styles. This is down from $230, and marking the third-best price to date. It’s $60 off, comes within $10 of the all-time low, and a chance to save on all three colorways instead of just one. Packed into the refreshed design, the new releases arrive wtih Hi-Res audio support in the form of 24-bit playback to complement the overhauled active noise cancellation performance. Battery life clocks in at solid 5 hours from the buds themselves, with the charging case delivering up to 30 hours of extra listening in a build that’s 15% smaller than the previous-generation pair. You can learn all about the new experience over in our hands-on review, as well.
