TCL NXTPAPER tablets are selling for under $200, and Spigen's Pixel Watch 4 bands are discounted up to 67%. The Oura Ring, a prominent smart ring option, is available at a 51% discount. Motorola's Razr 2025 FIFA World Cup 26 Edition is also marked down by $150.

Infinix has launched the Note 60 Pro Pininfarina Limited Edition in India, offering a unique design alternative for consumers.

Smartphone Innovations & Battery Tech

While many deals focus on current models, new smartphone technology is also emerging. Honor is reportedly developing a handset that could feature a substantial 14,000mAh battery, a significant increase from its previously largest 11,000mAh cell in the X80 Pro Max launched in China. On the software side, Google is enhancing usability for frequent travelers by making TSA Pre Check access via Google Wallet more streamlined.

Insta360's Mic Pro kit is notable for its customizable E Ink displays, offering extensive personalization options. Meanwhile, a recent analysis indicates that wireless charging is considerably less energy-efficient than wired charging, wasting more electricity. Google's latest speaker update offers a modest refresh, prompting questions about the effectiveness of Gemini as a smart home assistant in the updated device. Amazon Germany is also participating in the extended Prime Day event, featuring deals on iPads, Galaxy Tabs, and smartwatches among other electronics.
