YouTube TV is $10 off for your first three months
Just in time for the Super Bowl season, a three-month subscription to the YouTube TV streaming service is slightly more affordable. At this time, new subscribers pay $54.99 per month instead of $64.99 for your first three months. Normally, that will cost you about $195, so that means you’ll pay $165 at the end of this discount period.
That’s still expensive, but it’s a welcome discount for a service that’s gone up in price in recent years. Nevertheless, it’s a solid streaming app if you want lots of channels on demand (with DVR capabilities available), presented in a familiar YouTube interface. For this price, you get access to over 85 major channels, featuring live sports, news, entertainment and more. It also includes unlimited withdrawals for up to six accounts, and you can cancel whenever you want.
Apple’s AirPods Max earphones sold for their lowest price ever during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you missed that deal, you still have a chance to save big today. For the first time since the holidays you can get the headphones in the sky blue colorway for $449 at Amazon, which is just $20 shy of their best ever price. That equates to a saving of $100 on some of the best noise-cancelling headphones you can buy right now.
As we noted in our review, Apple’s over-ear headphones offer excellent sound quality, while boasting great spatial audio features, so you can better immerse yourself in a movie or compatible music. The headphones are also comfortable to wear for a long time thanks to the breathable knitted mesh canopy. While $449 is still quite expensive, it could be a good deal for those deeply embedded in the Apple ecosystem, given how seamlessly these headphones pair with other Apple devices as well.
Apple’s AirPods Max have exemplary build quality, sound phenomenal and keep up with the best noise cancellation.
When we first published our review of Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra a year ago, we called it the best Android phone on the market. We were impressed by the massive phone’s excellent camera system, as well as its stunning 6.8-inch dynamic OLED display with a high refresh rate. We also appreciated the long battery life and speed of the Snapdragon 888 processor-powered phone.
While we’d be almost a full year after release, we don’t recommend paying $1,199.99 – the original price. However, if you can be convinced by a good deal, Amazon is selling the 128GB phantom black model today for $1049.99, saves you $150. That’s the lowest we’ve seen it sell for since the holidays.
Please note, Samsung will soon release the Galaxy S22 series. It’s not exactly clear when, but that means we’ll probably see more discounts on the Galaxy S21 lineup sooner or later. But if you can’t wait, this is a good deal for now.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (Unlocked)
The flagship model in the Galaxy S21 line includes a 6.8-inch 3200 x 1440 OLED display, support for the S Pen Stylus (note that the stylus is sold separately), 12 GB of RAM and five image sensors, including a 108- mega-sensor.
In the market for a budget-friendly tablet? Amazon is half selling its 2020 Fire HD 8 tablets, with the 32GB ad-supported base model from $44.99 instead of $89.99. If you want a little more RAM and wireless charging, the Fire HD 8 Plus is also 50 percent off, sell for $54.99 instead of $109.99.
Regardless of which one you buy, both offer a USB-C port for faster charging and have a faster processor than their predecessors. While the app selection is limited to Amazon’s Appstore, that still gives you access to Netflix, Hulu, Facebook, Zoom, Outlook, and more. If you lean towards the Fire HD 8 Plus, The Verges Dieter Bohn pointed out in his review that you can use the Plus as an Echo Show if you buy Amazon’s wireless charging dock next to the tablet. This costs $108, down from $163.
