The Pixel 6 Pro (9/10, WIRED recommends) has been on sale for a while, but the price has never gone this low. Consider the most recent Pixel 7 Pro first, but you’ll save hundreds on the 2021 model, which has an excellent 4X optical zoom camera, 120Hz screen refresh rate, and a battery big enough to last longer a full day of average use.
Don’t want to spend that much? The longtime deal on the Pixel 6A (8/10, WIRED recommends) has finally come to an end, but it is still reduced to $368 ($81 off). Learn more about these devices and how they differ from ours Best Google Pixel Phones guide.
This is one of the best prices we’ve seen for our favorite robot vacuum cleaner. The Roborock Q5+ (9/10, WIRED recommends) cleans reliably and quietly. Battery life is excellent and the little robot will automatically return to the docking station when it needs to charge or empty its dust bin.
It’s our favorite wireless gaming mouse. Not only because he has a USB-C key that lets you plug it into almost any modern device, but also because it’s comfortable, really responsive, and not cluttered with too many buttons.

As you will notice in our Best Apple Watch guide, the Series 7 is still very good to buy, even though it’s a 2021 model. Just make sure you’re not paying close to the prices of the latest Series 8, which sells for $499 for the cellular model. Well, you’re in luck. The 7 series cell phone (8/10, WIRED recommends) is a great smartwatch, especially if you want to stay connected to the internet when your iPhone isn’t nearby. Don’t forget to factor monthly data charges into your purchasing decision.
It’s an older model, but we still like the Garmin Instinct Solar (8/10, WIRED recommends). It charges automatically when you’re in the sun, which means the battery can last up to a week on a single charge. Apart from built-in GPS, it also has a wide range of metric tracking capabilities. We don’t like the bulky design, but if you don’t mind a big watch, this deal is a great way to save some cash. Our Best Garmin Watches guide might help you decide.
If you spend a lot of time in Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, Blender, or other creative apps, then this is a great keyboard.

With software from Logitech, you can program these keys to trigger custom shortcuts or even run scripts.

Even better, you can connect them to other Cardo headsets so you can talk to your friends while riding (up to half a mile away).
We love Nova Launcher, just like the rest of the internet. It’s a good way to declutter your Android smartphone and personalize your home screen. If you got a new tablet or phone as a holiday gift and wanted to check it out, that sale price is usually one of the best we tend to see all year.
