Great Cyber Monday phone deals that’ll make you glad the internet exists

Refresh

Even before you consider a smartwatch to pair with your new Android phone, you might want to grab a set of wireless earbuds instead. It’s the perfect time to ditch the wires, as there are so many different great options to choose from, plus, there aren’t very many smartphones that even still include a headphone jack.

Headlining some of our favorite Cyber Monday deals for earbuds is the Google Pixel Buds Pro. These were highly anticipated, as the Pixel Buds and Pixel Buds A-Series lacked features found on some of the best wireless earbuds. Google finally brought Active Noise Cancelation, an adjustable EQ, while retaining a familiar design. And if you can still find these in stock, you’ll be able to save $50, getting the Buds Pro for just $150. 

This one might be controversial, but if you just want incredible wireless earbuds, Apple’s AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) are still arguably the best of the best. Since these still just rely on Bluetooth you can connect them to any of your devices, and there are some third-party apps to control things like the ANC levels and gesture controls. Best of all, these are under $200 for the first time since Apple released its latest earbuds earlier this year.

When you think of great budget phones, Motorola’s vast lineup of devices is almost always at or near the top of the list. While the company seems to be looking to get back into the flagship market, budget phones still reign supreme, and the Moto G Stylus is the perfect example of that. 

With the exception of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Motorola seized an opportunity to offer a budget-friendly phone that also includes a stylus. Currently, the 2022 version of the G Stylus, which features 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a triple camera setup, can be had for 40% off, priced at $180. 

And while some parts of the world can enjoy Motorola’s latest attempt at a foldable phone, that’s not the case here in the States. Thankfully, the Motorola Razr 5G is still kicking around, and as part of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals, you can get a folding phone for just $600.

On one hand, it’s pretty darn great that Android is getting to the point where the software optimization means we can have phones that last all day long (and then some). But there’s nothing worse than being away from a charger and having your phone run out of juice before you make it home. 

We’re already seeing some pretty great early Cyber Monday deals on portable chargers, headlined by the Shargeek Storm 2 Slim. Shargeek has come out of nowhere with its portable charger that sports a “unique see-through design with yellow accents.” It reaches charging speeds up to 130W, and you can save $70 at Amazon for a limited time.

Anker’s portable chargers are still among the best of the best, and this point has been driven home even further following the release of the GaNPrime lineup of portable chargers. We’re seeing quite a few different deals on Anker chargers, but our two favorites are for the Anker 737 PowerCore and the Anker 733. With the former, you can save $50, and the latter is on sale for $25 off.

OnePlus may not be the “darling” phone maker that it once was, but that doesn’t mean the company has stopped releasing phones that offer incredible value. A perfect example of this is the OnePlus Nord N200 5G, which is easily one of the cheapest 5G phones on the market, and as part of some early Cyber Monday deals, it can be yours for just $170. Or you can bundle the Nord N200 with the new OnePlus Nord Buds for just over $200.  

Those who are looking for a flagship Android phone will want to check out either the OnePlus 10T or the OnePlus 10 Pro. With the former, you’re getting OnePlus’ latest flagship, powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. The 6.7-inch Fluid Display sports a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, while also supporting HDR10+. There are two configurations available, but the 8GB/128GB model offers a much better value coming in at $575 for Cyber Monday.

Rounding out the latest deals on OnePlus phones is the OnePlus 10 Pro, which first arrived in the U.S. in March following a limited China-only release in January. The 10 Pro is also powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which is paired with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. But the best deal this time around is for the base model, as it’s discounted by $250 at both Amazon and Best Buy.

Need a premium-grade phone at a lower price? The Google Pixel 7 is exactly what you’re looking for, then. At $499 this amazing Cyber Monday weekend deal takes $100 off the already great regular price, making it one of the better buys right now.

Amazon and Best Buy have the same deals and while they both accept trade-ins, Best Buy’s program generally offers a bit more for your old phone than Amazon will. You can even get one for free at AT&T if you’ve got an old phone to trade in. Otherwise, Verizon’s buy-one-get-one-free deal is another phenomenal choice.

The Google Pixel 7 (opens in new tab) packs one of the best phone cameras into a newly redesigned body that’s sleeker than ever. The new Google Tensor G2 processor enables even more AI-powered features than the Pixel 6 had, including the new Photo Unblur utility which can take old photos — yes, even ones taken from other cameras or phones — and effectively unblur them by using AI trickery onboard the processor. It doesn’t work for every photo but it’s some serious magic when it does.

While the Pixel 7 doesn’t have a telephoto sensor, the more expensive Google Pixel 7 Pro (opens in new tab) certainly does. The new 5x periscope camera enables the Pixel 7 Pro to zoom in clearly up to 30x away, and Google’s intelligent machine-learning techniques can make those photos look clearer than other phones with the same zoom capabilities. All in all, this is a great reason to pick up a Pixel 7 family phone.

Need a case for your newly purchased Google Pixel 6a? Thankfully, those are also on sale for this Cyber Monday weekend. Cases like the Tudia MergeGrip in Green Lily (pictured above) perfectly compliment the Pixel 6a’s great color scheme and really add to the experience.

Some of my personal favorites can be found in the links above, and while none of them have mind-blowing sales going on — most cases aren’t very expensive to begin with, after all — it’s still great to get a few bucks off something you definitely need.

If none of those tickle your fancy, check out our best Google Pixel 6a cases (opens in new tab) for the ultimate range of options.

If you thought you missed the best Black Friday deal, don’t worry, it’s not over yet. That’s right, you can still get the Google Pixel 6a (opens in new tab) for an incredible $299 from either Amazon or Best Buy, the latter of which might be the best place to catch this deal since you can walk into a store right now and pick up the phone.

In short, $300 for a Pixel 6a is almost a criminally good deal. This one packs in the same Google Tensor processor that was in the more expensive Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, as well as two great cameras on the back: one main camera and one ultra-wide-angle camera.

As you would expect, photos and videos from this Pixel phone will blow you away every single time, and Google Tensor’s processing prowess means that moving kids or pets will still come out with clear faces thanks to Face Unblur technology. Seriously, it feels like magic every time you watch it at work.

At this price, the Pixel 6a is the phone of the year because of the incredible value it brings. There’s really no underselling it. If you don’t need 100x space zoom or some other niche feature, there’s simply no reason to buy another phone in 2022.

Best Buy has a load of great Samsung cases on sale to go along with your new foldable phone purchase. My personal favorite of the bunch, pictured above, is the Samsung Standing Cover case for the Z Fold 4 which includes the fabled S Pen that sits nicely in a holster on the back of the case. You can always swap this out for a kickstand if you prefer, but both come in the box for a cool $27 off (opens in new tab).

Or maybe you just need some basic protection without any extra fuss? Samsung’s Slim case for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is $15 off (opens in new tab) and offers great protection for your new foldable without adding much weight or bulk.

While Samsung focuses more on productivity or normal-style cases for the Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4 users get to have a lot more fun. Both the silicone cover with strap (opens in new tab) and silicone cover with ring (opens in new tab) are $12 through the end of Cyber Monday in stores and offer some great alternatives to the boring old case designs we’ve had for years.

(Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich / Android Central)

Ready to get rid of that boring old slab phone and jump on board with the foldable revolution? Best Buy is your foldable headquarters for Cyber Monday and it’s offering hundreds off both the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Fold 4. That makes the Flip 4 $799 out the door and the Fold 4 $1,399.

But why stop there? Take that old phone you’re currently using and trade it in at Best Buy. The company is offering bonus trade-in values for this Cyber Monday weekend — up to $900, in fact — which means you could get a Z Fold 4 for as low as $499 and a Z Flip 4 completely free depending on what you’re trading in.

At the very least, you could get an exciting new foldable phone for hundreds off with this deal and walk out of the store today instead of having to wait for shipping. Be sure to pick up a great Flip 4 case (opens in new tab) or Fold 4 case (opens in new tab) when you’re done, many of which are also available in Best Buy stores.

If you’re an AT&T or Verizon customer and are looking for a great new phone, how about picking up our #1 pick for best Android phone (opens in new tab)? The Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus is the “Goldilocks” of Samsung’s latest flagship phones, bringing a big screen, a bigger battery, great performance, stellar cameras, and software updates for years.

This Cyber Monday deal is live right now and will give you a $500 Walmart gift card the second you complete the purchase, helping you get a brand-new phone and some much-needed cash to buy the rest of your Holiday and Christmas gifts this year. What’s better than that?

Retailers are still selling physical copies of Overwatch even though it no longer exists

Overwatch players have taken to social media to ask why retailers still have Overwatch on sale when the game is no longer playable.

As u/raistwalls1 exemplifies on the Overwatch subreddit (thanks, TheGamer), retailers still have copies of Overwatch for both PS4 and Xbox One on sale – on this occasion, it’s priced at $34 – even though the game essentially no longer exists.


7 Biggest Changes Overwatch 2 Makes From The Original – NEW CHARACTERS, MAPS & MORE!

If you try to run a physical copy of Overwatch now, it’ll install the game but on launch it will transfer to Overwatch 2 which, crucially, is free to play.

As some commenters quite rightly point out, the legendary edition comes with 15 skins that, theoretically at least, transfer over to the sequel… and given the price of some of Blizzard’s premium skins, buying an old copy of Overwatch and getting skins that way may work out cheaper than buying them directly from the in-game store. As u/PsychoInHell points out, though, not everyone got to keep their legendary skins in the merge of Overwatch 1 and 2.

Others made comparisons to Bungie’s sci-fi shooter Destiny 2, which also started life as a physical premium game before switching to a free-to-play model.

“I miss Overwatch 1,” said one wistful commenter.

As planned, Blizzard shut down Overwatch 1’s servers on 4th October. You can watch the moment Overwatch went offine for good below as reported by Matt earlier this month, as well as the many ways players said goodbye in their own way.

“As things stand today, Overwatch 2 feels like yet another service game where unlocks lead off into perpetuity, purely because money has to be made,” Edwin said in Eurogamer’s Overwatch 2 review. “It’s got its eyes on the horizon, and the same old spring in its step, but I’m not sure it has anywhere to go.”

Russia ‘expects’ Ukraine to kowtow to its demands and accept the ‘real situation that exists’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The Kremlin on Thursday said it “expects” Ukrainian leadership will bow to its territorial demands in order to end the brutal campaign it has carried out for more than three months.

“Moscow expects Kyiv to accept Moscow’s demands and become aware of the de facto situation – the real situation that exists,” Dmitry Peskov, spokesman to Russian President Vladimir Putin, said according to a translation by Pravda. 

When asked in an interview with a Russian media outlet if the demands extended to “territorial concessions” Peskov responded by saying, “These are not territorial concessions.”

“Kyiv needs to recognize the de facto situation and simply assess soberly,” he added.

HENRY KISSINGER WARNS AGAINST ESCALATING RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT, URGES PEACE TALKS

Russian Major General Rustam Minnekaev first announced last month that the Kremlin will seek “full control” over the eastern Donbas region and all southern port regions after Moscow failed to take Kyiv during the first month of its invasion. 

But Ukrainian officials have warned they believe Russian forces will come back in an attempt to take the capital city if they are able to gain control in other parts of the country. 

Peskov’s comments come after weeks of stalled negotiations and suggestions by some western officials that Kyiv should relinquish some of its territorial integrity.

Speaking from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger suggested Ukraine should give up Crimea as it has been occupied by Russian forces since 2014.

ERDOGAN DISRUPTS NATO UNITY AMID PUTIN’S THREAT TO EUROPEAN SECURITY

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has unequivocally rejected these calls and has vowed to keep fighting despite what is expected to be an increasingly brutal campaign. 

“Remember how it all began on February 24, when many in the world did not even believe that Ukraine would be able to withstand a full-scale war?  Many of them simply did not want to take Ukraine into account,” he said in a speech late Wednesday. 

In a scathing address, Zelenskyy condemned Kissinger’s comments and suggested he had not learned from mistakes made in the lead up to World War II.

“It seems that Mr. Kissinger’s calendar is not 2022, but 1938, and he thought he was talking to an audience not in Davos, but in Munich of that time,” he said.

Zelenkyy’s retort was made in reference to the 1938 Munich Agreement signed by Britain, France, Italy and Germany, which gave Nazi leader Adolf Hitler land in then-Czechoslovakia in a failed attempt to persuade him to abandon his aggression in Europe.

“Those who advise Ukraine to give away something to Russia – great geopoliticians – are always unwilling to see ordinary people. Ordinary Ukrainians,” he continued.  “Millions of those who actually live in the territory they propose to exchange for the illusion of peace. You must always see people. 

“Remember that values are not just a word,” Zelenskyy said.

Astrophysicists Say ‘Planetary Intelligence’ Exists… But Earth Doesn’t Have Any

We tend to think of intelligence as something that describes just one individual. But it’s possible to describe all kinds of collectives as intelligent, too – whether we’re talking about social groups of humans, enclaves of insects, or even the mysterious behavior of slime mold and viruses.

 

By extension, could intelligence be observed on a much grander scale – perhaps that of an entire planet? In a newly published paper, a team of space scientists explores this tantalizing question, reaching some surprising conclusions about our very own Earth.

“An open question is whether or not intelligence can operate at the planetary scale, and if so, how a transition to planetary-scale intelligence might occur and whether or not it has already occurred or is on our near-term horizon,” the team writes.

They note that understanding this question could help us to steer the future of our planet; however, according to their own criteria, it looks like we’re not there yet.

“We don’t yet have the ability to communally respond in the best interests of the planet,” says astrophysicist Adam Frank from the University of Rochester.

“There is intelligence on Earth, but there isn’t planetary intelligence.”

According to the researchers, the emergence of technological intelligence on a planet – a common reference point in astrobiology research – should perhaps be viewed not as something that happens on a planet but to a planet.

 

In such an interpretation, the evolution of planetary intelligence would represent the acquisition and application of a collective body of knowledge operating across a complex system of different species at the same time, and in a harmonious way that benefits or sustains the whole biosphere.

Unfortunately – and obviously – humans and Earth are not at that point yet.

In fact, Frank and his co-authors say we’ve only made it to the third stage of their hypothetical timeline for the development of planetary intelligence.

In the first stage, characteristic of a very early Earth, a planet with an ‘immature biosphere’ develops life, but there are insufficient feedback loops between life and geophysical processes for co-evolution of different kinds of life.

In the second stage, the ‘mature biosphere’ has developed.

Next, a planet could become the third stage: an ‘immature technosphere’, where Earth currently is. In this stage, technological activity has developed on the planet, but it’s not yet sustainably integrated with other systems, such as the physical environment.

If those tensions can be resolved, however, an immature technosphere stands a chance to develop to the final stage: the ‘mature technosphere’, where feedback loops between technological activity and other biogeochemical and biogeophysical states act in sync to ensure maximum stability and productivity of the full system.

 

This idealized state is where Earth should be trying to get to, the researchers argue.

“Planets evolve through immature and mature stages, and planetary intelligence is indicative of when you get to a mature planet,” says Frank.

“The million-dollar question is figuring out what planetary intelligence looks like and means for us in practice because we don’t know how to move to a mature technosphere yet.”

According to the researchers, we currently sit on a precipice, where our collective actions clearly have global consequences, but we are not yet in control of those consequences.

If, in tandem with other forces on the planet, we can develop a balance where those consequences become controlled, we might finally evolve – as a planet – to the next level.

“A transition to planetary intelligence, as we described here, would have the hallmark property of intelligence operating at a planetary scale,” the researchers write in their paper.

“Such planetary intelligence would be capable of steering the future evolution of Earth, acting in concert with planetary systems and guided by a deep understanding of such systems.”

The paper was published in the International Journal of Astrobiology.

Halo TV show exists in its own separate timeline from the games

The upcoming Halo TV show doesn’t exist in the same canon as the games and books, instead telling a whole new story taking place in what’s being called the “Silver Timeline.”

In an interview shared to Twitter (via Halopedia), 343 head of transmedia Kiki Wolfkill explains that creating a new timeline allows the TV series and games to be their best.

“We’re referring to this as the Halo Silver Timeline as a way of differentiating it from core canon,” Wolfkill said. “And both protecting core canon and protecting the television story, and by that I mean being able to give ourselves the chance to evolve both and for both to be what they need to be for their mediums without colliding with each other.”

The Halo universe is a complex, at-times messy place, branching several games, books, comics, and an anime series – and they all exist in the same universe. To try to tie a TV show’s into all of that would be a massive undertaking and could hinter the series’ accessibility, so it’s easy to understand the reasoning here.

In retrospect, Wolfkill might’ve been teasing this announcement in an earlier interview with IGN, where she said the Halo TV show would reveal a different side to Master Chief.

“The biggest challenge with adapting the game is, the game is designed to put you into [Master] Chief’s armor. What we’re asking people to do with the show is to sit back and say we’re going to present a side of Chief that you just don’t get to play in the game.”

The Halo TV series is reportedly set for an early 2022 release on Paramount Plus.
