Deal: Sony Xperia 10 is less than half its usual price at just $169.99 unlocked

Sony unveiled the mid-range Xperia 10 at MWC this February alongside the Xperia 1 flagship. Like that high-end model, the Xperia 10 also has a supertall screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio, making for a pretty unique look (especially when you add in Sony's blocky design language). While you may not watch a lot of 21:9 video content on your smartphone, this aspect ratio may also make you scroll less inside any apps that rely on that vertical action a lot - like, say Facebook, or Instagram. The display is definitely the Xperia 10's main claim to fame and its clear differentiator from the...

Black Friday: LG G8 ThinQ can be yours for just $399.99 for a few more hours

As you may have noticed, there are a lot of Black Friday deals around. That said, rarely does one offer come by that basically takes a high-end smartphone that still has up-to-date specs and cuts its price down to the level of a mid-ranger. This is one of those though.

One caveat is that you only have a few more hours to take advantage of this crazy low price point. The other caveat is that the handset comes with a "pre-installed selection of Amazon apps", including...

Oculus shows how not to do a Black Friday sale

VR is still on the pricey side so maybe you were hoping to grab some hardware and games to play through a Black Friday sale. Unfortunately for you, the Oculus deals are pretty bad. First off, hardware discounts are small, just $50 off an Oculus Rift S or Go. Second, the sale mostly offers bundles ranging from €200 to €45. The problem with that is that you can't pick and choose which games you get. For example, one of the pricier bundles, the Black Collection, features Superhot VR (which you probably already have) and Electronauts (which you maybe don't want). Even if you could live with...

Samsung's Galaxy A-line was a big hit in the past year and the company will aim to carry on the success in 2020 with its new additions like the A11, A31 and A41.
