If you're interested in cloud gaming and streaming, the Nvidia Shield TV Pro is arguably one of the best options available in 2025. It's a powerful little piece of hardware, letting you access GeForce Now along with all your favorite streaming platforms (like Netflix and Disney+). Normally a bit pricey at $200, Amazon and Best Buy are matching its lowest price ever of $170 for Cyber Monday--but since the sales end at 11:59 PM PT on December 1, you'll want to snag one soon before the limited-time offer disappears. If you like the concept of the Nvidia Shield TV Pro but want to save a few extra bucks, take a peek at its more affordable sibling--the standard Nvidia Shield TV.
Whether you've read our reviews and agreed or disagreed, here's your chance to help decide what was the best tech of the year in our Readers' Choice Awards. Which phone was your favorite? Was it an Android device or one of the five iPhones (six if you count the biggest iPhone 17 Pro Max as separate) that Apple released throughout the calendar year? Or did foldables like the super thin and light Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 finally win your hard-earned money?
The Galaxy Z TriFold represents the company's most ambitious phone launch yet, with Samsung confirming that the upcoming device will feature a "flagship-level 200MP camera system," a 3.9mm thickness when unfolded, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor at the helm. None of those specs is showstopping, per se, but they're commendable for what will be considered a first-generation product.
Album art is an oft-overlooked creative form that can be incredibly subtle and bold in directly or indirectly expressing the intended emotion of the intangible music track playing. These carefully composed visuals are arguably more accessible and widespread than fine art. And yet, they can be abstract or representation, nostalgic in the embodiment of a bygone era, and visionary in the speculative suggesting a potential future.
Samsung has a new foldable smartphone, and it's not just another Z Flip or Z Fold. The Galaxy Z TriFold has three articulating sections that house a massive 10-inch tablet-style screen, along with a traditional smartphone screen on the outside. The lavish new smartphone is launching this month in South Korea with a hefty price tag, and it will eventually make its way to the US in early 2026.
Budget smartwatches have come a long way in recent years, from mere tech gadgets to essential daily wearables. They now offer smarter features, better health tracking, and seamless connectivity. Indian brand Just Corseca has recently launched its latest budget-friendly offering, the Skywatch Pro, in the country, which includes all basic smartwatch functions, along with Bluetooth calling, heart rate monitoring, step tracking, and more. After using the Just Corseca Skywatch Pro for nearly a month, here's my take on this entry-level smartwatch.
Unless you want an open-style clip bud, getting high-quality workout earbuds has become more difficult in the past few years. Companies aren't focusing on them as much, or are completely leaving the market as Jabra did at the end of 2024. Thankfully, some of the best workout earbuds - the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 - are not only still around, but were revamped at the beginning of the year.
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 Glasses are now available for purchase in India via the leading e-commerce platforms. Developed in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered smart glasses were initially launched in September as the successor to the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 Glasses, but were only available in the global markets. Meta says they offer significant battery and camera upgrades over the first-generation model, along with wider colour and frame choices.
And thanks to an ongoing Cyber Monday promotion, you can save on the company's products through the end of today, December 1st, allowing you to grab an electric screwdriver or a great starter tool set for tackling small repairs on the cheap (by Hoto standards). The brand's handheld vacuum, meanwhile, can help you keep your car clean - an impossible task if you have kids - while Hoto's slick rechargeable flashlight is cheaper than ever.
You can't make this up. Microsoft shipped a Windows 11 update yesterday that is supposed to make dark mode more consistent, with dialogs in File Explorer finally getting a dark mode for actions like copying, moving, or deleting files and folders. You get all that, but Microsoft will also treat you with a giant white flash every time you open File Explorer.
Smart home products are all about making everyday life a little easier, which is why they're some of the best and most thoughtful gifts you can give. Some people go all out building a multi-gadget IoT kingdom (like our resident smart home expert, Jen Pattison Tuohy), but a smart home is whatever your recipient wants it to be. It can be as simple as wanting a cheap switch-flipping bot to brew you a pot of coffee before you exit the shower in the morning.
The speaker pushes the signature JBL Original Pro Sound with deep bass. You're going to feel all the highs and lows deep in your bones, even at the lower volumes. There won't be any annoying distortion at higher levels, either, meaning you can pump the sound all the way up when that one song plays. The built-in ring light syncs to the music that's playing, offering you your very own light show.
We're in the great age of unbundling. We've unbundled our power grids with solar panels, our entertainment with streaming, and our communication with the internet. We're systematically severing the cords that tie us to centralized, aging systems. But what about the most essential utility of all - the water pipe? For decades, that's been the one connection we couldn't cut. You could go off-grid with power, but you were still tethered to the municipal water main. Until now.
HORL is taking knife sharpening to another level with the launch of their next-generation HORL®3 rolling knife sharpeners. A fool-proof way to achieve razor-like results at home, the easy-to-use HORL®3 set features a powerful magnetic angled grip pad that firmly holds a wide range of knives in place, and a two-sided roller for quick sharpening results: a diamond sharpening disk and a honing one - see how it works .
Over the past couple of years, I've tried to switch to many different gaming keyboards and always ended up back with a Wooting 60HE. Wooting changed PC gaming with the 60HE, popularizing the use of Hall effect switches and a Rapid Trigger system that speeds up how quickly you can activate keys. Now it's back with a v2 that upgrades the best gaming keyboard to improve its sound and feel.
The plan was that users could select a 3D environment and an avatar for themselves then, rather than perch on a kitchen table or grab the first hot-desking spot, immerse themselves therein. While neat, there was also a clear overlap with Teams, which also had the option to join an immersive space (if enabled) or participate in a custom immersive space in Mesh itself, so was there really a need for a separate standalone service? The answer appears to be no.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is expected to debut in China later this month, with the latest rumor pointing to a launch in the fourth week of December. Ahead of the expected launch, new details about the phone's camera setup have surfaced online. According to a tipster, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will feature a new Leica lens coating that will offer improved clarity, reduced reflections, and minimized chromatic aberration.
It's now sitting at just $90, after a nice 25% discount, and there are no delivery charges to worry about either. It's not every day you get to grab an impressive screen while also saving on shipping, so get your orders in sooner rather than later. The tablet is going to be pushed back to its retail price of $120 at midnight, which is why it's best to act fast.
Realme Watch 5 is all set to launch in India on December 4. Ahead of the debut, the company has confirmed the smartwatch's design, colour options and main features. Notably, the model is already available in select global markets. The upcoming wearable is positioned as a major upgrade over the preceding Watch 3 Pro, featuring a larger AMOLED display, expanded health tracking tools and longer battery life.
Gaming handhelds are supposed to fit in your hands, but AMD's new Strix Halo processors generate serious heat and drain batteries faster than you can finish a boss fight. The GPD Win 5 and OneXFly Apex responded by strapping external battery packs to their backs, which works, but looks like your handheld is wearing a fanny pack in the wrong spot. It's practical but awkward, and it raises an obvious question: if you're adding external batteries anyway, why not just make the whole device bigger?
The large screen size makes it easy to reference, and you can set a photo screensaver or pick a background, so it's a bit like a digital picture frame, too. (You can hang it portrait or landscape.) You can also customize your home screen with different widgets depending on what you want to have access to the fastest, including the calendar and the weather. It can basically act as a smart home hub for your whole house.
The Nintendo Switch 2 and all things that orbit the console are among the hottest holiday gifts this year. Consider us surprised to not just see the $499 Mario Kart World bundle selling for $50 off at Walmart and many great Switch 2 accessories discounted during Cyber Monday, but also to see a Samsung 256GB microSD Express card selling at 35 percent off at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart.
Storage issues are more common than you think, and they affect almost everyone now and then; from work professionals to creatives, students, gamers, and even casual users. If you've been looking to expand the capacity of your PC, Mac, or console, we just spotted a deal that lets you do it for less. Thanks to Cyber Monday, Amazon is offering the Seagate 2TB portable external hard drive at a 19% discount.
I didn't get the e-bike. But I did buy the Anker Portable Charger, and I'm proud to report that it has earned a permanent spot in my carry-on. Why? For starters, it lasts for three to four days, and I love that it's reliable. Travel + Leisure editors even named it one of the best portable chargers of the many they tested.
I have a number of , and they're fantastic for getting eyes into places that you normally can't get to. But they're typically large and bulky, designed for mechanics and HVAC engineers, which limits their usability when it comes to inspecting device ports or probing around cracks and crevices looking for a lost fastener. Also: These 12+ surprisingly useful tools are all on sale during Cyber Monday, and I vouch for them all
Anyone who wants to record their adventures without carrying around a lot of heavy gear needs an action camera. DJI has been the leader in this field for a long time because of its unique approach to stabilization and image quality, and the Osmo Action 5 Pro shows that the brand can compete with itself by offering professional-level features that content creators and thrill-seekers really need.
