There is no overstating the convenience of having a power bank with you at all times. These portable power sources are easy to carry around, and they let you conveniently charge your devices at any time and any place without a hitch. Not all power banks, however, are worth spending your money on. It's important to look for the best ones that are packed with some neat features like the ability to quickly top up your devices with high-speed charging. Anker, which makes some of the best mobile accessories on the planet and is one of the biggest names in mobile charging technology, has plenty of great products under its belt that are worth considering. This is, in fact, one of the best times to grab an Anker power bank, as a lot of them are down to their lowest prices right now as a part of Prime Day deals.

Smart plugs and power strips like this one from Meross make it easy to connect "dumb" appliances to your smart home setup. They're also perfect for those who are dipping a toe into the smart home world. The Meross smart power strip highlighted in this deal is a great option to consider, especially for those who want something simple to get started and don't want to spend a lot of money chasing the best smart plugs out there. The Meross Wi-Fi-enabled smart plug, which usually goes for $41 on Amazon, is currently down to just $33 for a limited time. This surge protector would be a solid addition to your home, and it's also very easy to recommend at the discounted price of just $33 during Amazon Prime Day.

Prime Day knocks $200 off my favorite phone of the year so far

A really big discount on Samsung's small phone for Prime Day

I reviewed Samsung's Galaxy S23 earlier this year and called it a worthwhile upgrade for bringing some significant improvements over the S22. Truth be told, I wasn't expecting to hold on to this phone after the review because of all the phones that were coming out, but I still use it every single day. That's right, I've had the vanilla Galaxy S23 since day one, and I see myself using it as a primary device for the rest of 2023, or at least until I find something worthy of replacing it. I've recommended this phone to a lot of people so far, but now is one of the best times to grab it as it's $200 cheaper than its usual price for Prime Day.

Must-see Prime Day deal chops 35% off Eero’s excellent mesh Wi-Fi

Amazon's Eero routers are among the best in the business when it comes to mesh Wi-Fi systems. They're second to none at eliminating the dead zones and expanding the Wi-Fi coverage at your home. There are plenty of Eero 6 routers to choose from, but the one we're looking at right now is the Eero 6+ mesh Wi-Fi system that's heavily discounted as a part of the Prime Day sale. The 3-pack Eero 6+ system, which usually goes for $299, is down to just $195 right now. That's over $100 in savings, which you can use to buy some other Echo devices or a couple more Eero 6+ router nodes. It's a Prime Day doorbuster that's simply too good to ignore.

Amazon's Prime Day deals have started bright and early, and we're seeing some huge discounts on smartphones, tablets, smart home tech, and more.

Early bird shoppers grabbing these deals before the stocks run out can save up to 65% on a variety of Echo speakers and bundles. The regular Echo Dot (5th gen) speaker is down to $23 from its usual price of $50, whereas the variant with an LED clock is currently going for just $30 instead of $60.

Workstations, by definition, are special computers that are designed for professional and technical work. These computers offer high performance than mainstream personal computers and are often fitted with more powerful CPUs, GPUs, among other components. While there are a ton of powerful processors out there that can be used inside workstations, there's a select few from AMD and Intel that are especially worth buying in 2023.

Asus Zenfone 10 vs Zenfone 9: Which compact phone to buy in 2023?

The Asus Zenfone 9 was a treat for small phone superfans who were struggling to find a pocketable phone in the world of behemoths with massive curved and folding displays. It was a refreshing entry that checked a lot of the right boxes to deliver a reliable smartphone experience. I am glad the company is sticking to its guns and delivering yet another compact powerhouse in the form of Zenfone 10.

Samsung's foldable phones have evolved a lot over the years, and they're no longer just an expensive experiment. Both Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 are two of the best foldable phones you can buy in the United States right now. That, however, doesn't mean they're flawless devices, as Samsung left the door for plenty of improvements. They're both easy to recommend compared to many others out there, but almost all of us here at XDA agreed that they were at least a generation shy of truly hitting their stride. 2023 is shaping up to be one of the biggest years for foldables, and we've already seen some big releases like the Pixel Fold and the Moto Razr+.

We live in a world where short-form videos like Instagram Reels and TikTok stories have taken over social media. Thanks to all these platforms, pretty much anyone with a smartphone can become a content creator and reach millions of users. You don't necessarily need a dedicated video editor app on your phone to create videos these days. Still, it's better to rely on a dedicated video editor app compared to the built-in tools you get within those apps. Making interesting and presentable videos to retain viewership is crucial to making it big on social media, and having a dedicated video editor app will ensure you have all the essential tools and effects as opposed to the basic trimming and stitching tools.

Apple is yet to refresh its Pro lineup for 2023, but the 2022 models come with many noteworthy upgrades over its predecessor, including one of the newer M2 chips, improved cameras, and the new Apple Pencil hover features.
