Are you planning to buy a new phone from this year’s Prime Day? The good news is that there’s no shortage of phone deals to choose from, but this is the one that we recommend — the OnePlus 13 with 512GB of storage for only $880. Just launched in January, that’s the device’s lowest-ever price, following a 12% discount on its original price of $1,000. You’re going to want to proceed with the transaction as soon as you can though, as there’s a chance that the savings of $120 on this Android smartphone will disappear before the shopping event ends.
The OnePlus 13, with an impressive score of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars in our review, headlines our roundup of the best Android phones as our overall top pick. It’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 16GB of RAM for fantastic speed and efficiency, whether you’ll be using it as a gaming device, a productivity tool, or a multimedia creator. The cameras of the OnePlus 13 are excellent — a 50MP main camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP wide-angle camera at the back, plus a 32MP selfie camera at the front.
The screen of the OnePlus 13 is simply gorgeous — a 6.82-inch AMOLED display with a 1Hz to 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, 1440p resolution, and maximum brightness of 4,500 nits. The smartphone also provides seriously long battery life, durability with Crystal Shield Ultra Ceramic Glass protection and IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance, and the slick and feature-packed OxygenOS 15, which is based on Android 15.
The OnePlus 13 is an excellent smartphone, and Amazon is giving you the chance to get its 512GB version at its lowest-ever price for Prime Day. From $1,000, it’s down to $880 for a $120 discount, but we highly recommend that you hurry. You wouldn’t want to wait until the final minutes of the shopping event before you proceed with the transaction as offer may have already expired by then. Secure your own OnePlus 13 at 12% off by finalizing the purchase right now.
A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well.
Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.
There's nothing quite like curling up with a good book on a cold evening. As much as I love the feel of a physical book, books take up a lot of space, and carrying more than one on a trip quickly becomes a chore. That's where e-readers come in, and the Amazon Kindle remains one of the best options.
Amazon just refreshed its Kindle lineup with thinner, lighter designs, a new flush-front display, and colors that wrap from front to back. Add the Kindle Scribe and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to the mix, and you have more choices than ever before.
A good Android app should earn its place on your phone. It might make an everyday task easier, handle something the built-in software can't, or let you change an experience that never quite worked for you.
These 20 apps cover everything from quick notes and password management to automation and local file sharing. Some are free, others charge for advanced features, and a few take some effort to figure out. The point isn't to install them all. It's to find the ones that make your phone work better for you.
