The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a flip-fold style phone with a big outside display and a small compact size.

Folding-screen phones are all the rage right now, which unfortunately means they're quite expensive, even by smartphone standards. If you've been waiting for the cost to go down a bit before you buy one, don't miss out on this chance to get the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 while it's at its lowest price point yet.

With 512 GB of internal storage and a nice compact, foldable size, there's a lot to love about this smartphone from Samsung right off the bat. The cover screen is larger than the previous generation, and a redesigned hinge allows the phone to fold 100% flat and smooth.

Its battery life and overall performance won't disappoint, either. This phone is powered by the most efficient chips currently available for Android phones, ensuring that you won't experience any lagging or delays when performing everyday tasks like browsing social media, surfing the web, or streaming your favorite shows.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 also happens to be fast charging compatible (as well as suitable for 15W wireless charging and 4.5W reverse wireless charging), so even when the long-lasting dual-battery system runs low, you'll have your new phone fully juiced and ready to go in almost no time.

The Fire Stick TV 4K offers a Dolby Vision upgrade and TV controls on the Alexa remote. With 4K streaming, it's much more future-proof. And it's on sale for its best price.

With so many streaming services these days, keeping track of them all and remembering which show is on which app may seem like an impossible task at times. This is when it's the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K's time to shine, especially if you own a Fire TV. That said, you don't need one, or even a smart TV, in order to take advantage of this handy little device; as long as your TV has an HDMI port and can play either HD or 4K content, you're all set.

One of our favorite streaming devices of 2023, this version of the Fire Stick is, as its name implies, 4K capable as well as Dolby Vision, HDR, and HDR10+ compatible. It provides you with access to all the major streaming services in one convenient spot, from Hulu to Netflix to Disney+ and beyond. It's especially useful for accessing Amazon Prime Video, though a Prime account isn't required to use it. You can even use it to access and scroll through regular live TV.

Besides the Fire Stick itself, you'll receive a remote that's voice-activated, so you don't have to press any buttons or spend extra minutes digging through your streaming app while looking for the show or movie you want to watch, plus an HDMI extender, USB cable, power adapter, and three AAA batteries. Using the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is a cinch, too— all you have to do is make sure your television is connected to the internet, stick the Fire Stick directly into one of its HDMI ports, plug it into a wall outlet, and you'll instantly have access to millions of television shows and movies.

If you prefer to take notes by hand, want to draw pictures to accompany your notes, or simply enjoy doodling or sketching, this particular Kindle will be right up your alley.

Perhaps most notable about this Kindle is that it comes with a stylus pen that allows you to add handwritten notes to your eBooks and import PDFs via the Kindle app or desktop web browser and hand write or hand draw on them as desired.

The 10.2-inch screen is also glare-free, so you can relax outside with an eBook even when the sun is at its peak.
