The new TCL 10 Pro unlocked phone is already on sale for $68 off

As a long-time iPhone user (I know: not the expected choice for a cheap skate), I am often jealous of the hardware available on the Android side. Not only are there many more options, but there are also much cheaper options. A typical example: Today’s deal on the TCL 10 Pro unlocked, currently $ 381.65 at Amazon. That’s $ 68 off and the lowest price in the short history of the phone.
Wait a second, TCL? It’s a TV brand, isn’t it? The Chinese company has also dipped its toes in other product categories, including sound bars and, yes, phones. The 10 Pro debuted in May together with the TCL 10L, an entry-level model. (The latter is also on sale, FYI: $ 211.65from $ 250.)
Everything you need to know about TCL 10 Pro can be found in CNETs TCL 10 Pro rating, which praised many of the phone’s advanced features (including its 6.5-inch AMOLED HDR display, four rear-view cameras, expandable memory, and reload functions), but diminished its lack of water resistance and wireless charging.
Another complaint: the price of $ 450. That’s just $ 50 more than similar Samsung Galaxy A51 – not enough to argue about if you ask me – but now that it’s available for $ 381.65, there’s a compelling case for TCL’s option.
In fact, the 10 Pro offers many of the hallmarks of a premium phone, but it’s definitely not as expensive as one.

Save $ 52 on Sony WF-1000XM3 Noise-Canceling Earphones
The Sony WF-1000XM3 earphones shown here in black offer excellent active noise cancellation.

If you’re in the active noise canceling or ANC premium earphone market, you don’t have many options. Apple’s AirPods Pro are pretty good, but they’re selling for $ 250. You can occasionally put them up for sale for around $ 230, which is also the regular price for Sony’s option.
For a limited time and while stocks last, Best Buy has the Sony WF-1000XM3 noise canceling earphones for $ 178 – It’s the lowest price I’ve ever seen.
In his Sony WF-1000XM3 testCNET’s David Carnoy called them “the best sounding wireless earbuds in this price range”. Notable features include touch controls, USB-C charging, and most importantly, a very effective ANC.
The only real downside: they are not sweat-resistant, so they may not be the best choice if you want something for heavy exercises.
