Digital picture frames were all the rage a few years back, but their clunkiness, lack of upgradability, cheap design, and unimpressive displays have largely relegated them to the dustbin of tech gadget history.

Deals of the day end at midnight daily, so you only have a few hours to jump on this deal before the price goes back up to the normal $150 price.
The Iris takes all of the negatives of earlier digital picture frames and turns them into positives. The user interface is brilliant and it’s easy to add new photos. The software can upgrade itself over Wi-Fi and images come over the cloud. It’s face is made of metal, not plastic. The screen just wows and is viewable from any angle.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
