Tag: Today’s Deal

Today’s Deal is on a wide range of SanDisk Ultra Class 10 MicroSD storage cards.  These high speed and highly reliable cards are great from Android devices as well as other devices (like Go Pro’s) for your storage needs.  Today there are a several that are on sale at Amazon starting at 32GB and going all the way up to 256GB of storage.

• 32GB Card – $12.94
• 64GB Card – $21.99
• 128GB Card – $39.99
• 200GB Card – $72.97
• 256GB Card – $199.99

All of these cards are waterproof, shockproof, and magnet proof so they are going to stand the test of time.

Today’s Deal is one that is hard to pass up if you are looking for a inexpensive and solid little tablet.  Right now you can pick up the Amazon Fire 7″ tablet with 8GB of storage and in a variety of colors for just $39.99.  This Android tablet, which runs Amazon’s Lollipop-based Fire OS, is tied to the Amazon ecosystem like the Amazon Underground App Store, Amazon Video and Kindle.  If you have a Prime account, all of these services along with Amazon Music are there for you.

Specs of the Fire 7″ are solid for the price.  It’s powered by a quad-core processor running at 1.3GHz, has 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage.  That storage can be expanded up to an additional 256GB thanks to the MicroSD slot.  Display wise, it has a 7″ display that renders at 1024 x 600, giving about 171ppi.  So no, this Fire 7″ isn’t going to set the world alight with its specs.  But for $39?  It still a great deal for those who are tied into the Amazon ecosystem.

Today’s Deal over at Amazon is on the Anker 6-Port USB desk charger.  Right now it is on sale for $29.99, a savings of 60% off the regular price.  For that, you get a desktop charger that provides one Quick Charge 3.0 compatible port and five standard ports that supports Anker’s PowerIQ technology.  That tech assures you get the fastest – and safest – charge for your devices.  Each port is able to pump out 2.4 amps of energy to give you maximum charging power.  It total, it has 60W of power.

While powerful, the Anker charger is designed to be portable.  It just under 5″ in size so if you need to move it from a desk to another place in your home or office, you can do so without having a big hassle or it being an eyesore.

Today’s Deal is on a great phone that I reviewed a few months ago.  The Sony Xperia X Compact has a lot of punch in a little package and right now, it is on sale for $369 at Amazon.  Normally this 4.6″ phone is $499, so this is a healthy amount of savings.  It is powered by the Snapdragon 650 hexa-core processor.  It has four 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 cores &  two 1.8 GHz Cortex-A72 cores.  The processor is coupled with the Adreno 510 GPU which provides good graphics performance.  The X Compact has 3GB of RAM onboard and has 32GB of built-in storage.  That storage can be expanded up to an additional 256GB thanks to the Micro SD slot that is built into the SIM tray of the phone.

Display wise, the Xperia X Compact has a 4.6″ IPS LCD display that renders at 720 x 1280.  That gives you 319 ppi which is low compared to other devices out there.  I caution readers to consider that this device has a much smaller display so 319 ppi is actually very comfortable on this screen size.  Indeed for comparison, the iPhone 6 had 329 ppi so we aren’t talking about a massive difference from even larger devices.  The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3.

Today’s Deal is on the Anker 5-Port USB Wall Charger.  This 63W unit has two ports that support Quick Charge 3.0 technology for rapid charging of compatible devices.  Today you can pick it up for $29.99, a saving of 60% off the regular $60 price.  Anker is one of the long time manufacture of accessories for Android and iOS and I never hesitate in recommending their products.  This particular accessory I have (albeit the Quick Charge 2.0 model from last year) and it is rock solid and used every day for the myriad of devices I have plugged into it at any given point in time.

Today’s Deal over at Amazon is on the powerful ASUS ZenFone Zoom.  This 5.5″ display device with a 13MP rear camera, 64GB of storage and unlocked phone is on sale today for $229.  That’s a savings of $170 from the normal $399 price.  For that price, this is a well spec’d phone.  It has an Intel 64-bit Quad-Core processor running at 2.3GHz and coupled with 4GB of RAM.  Storage wise it has 64GB of storage built-in but can be expanded an additional 128GB thanks to the MicroSD slot.

The ZenFone Zoom, as the name suggests, has a 13MP camera with a 3x optical zoom on the rear camera.  Optical zooms are not completely unique but they aren’t found often on phones.  Having an Optical zoom provides much crisper images over software zooming.  The front camera on the Zoom is a 5MP shooter.
