The Fourth of July is a time for family, friends, fireworks, and frightening low prices. With Independence Day falling on a Wednesday this year, retailers everywhere are slashing prices as we head into the first weekend of July. There are hundreds of different sales going on, but since your time is precious, we went ahead and parsed through them just for you. If you’re looking to save on tech, outdoor gear, clothing, and appliances this summer, these Fourth of July sales are some of the best you will see all season. Just make sure you don’t spend all of your money before Prime Day.
If you’re looking for an all-encompassing sale, look no further than Walmart. Its Fourth of July savings includes everything from above ground pools to iPads and just about everything in between. Whatever product you’re looking for, you can be sure that Walmart has probably discounted in some way or another. With rollbacks galore on popular brands like Apple, LG, Coleman, and even Nerf, this sale is definitely worth looking into.

HP has a reputation for high-quality laptops, and right now, you will find that a lot of them are on sale.

HP also dropped its prices on some of the more popular all-in-one PCs, monitors, and accessories. If you’re in the market for a new laptop from a brand you trust, this sale is packed with plenty of great options for you to choose from.

Summer is on, and so are the savings. Now until July 4, you can get up to 40 percent off from REI. You will find discounts on jackets, bikes, hammocks, tents, and just about every other piece of outdoor gear you can think of. With popular brands like Mammut, REI Co-op, Osprey, and Hydro Flask leading the charge, there are a ton of options to choose from. This is the biggest REI sale we have seen since its anniversary sale in May, and we likely won’t see another one like this in a while, so take advantage of it while you can.
There are two times of the year when you should shop for major appliances: Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. These are the times when you’ll find the deepest discounts on brands like LG, Whirlpool, Samsung, and just about every other popular appliance you can think of. Home Depot is offering up to 40 percent off select appliances, as well as instant $500 savings when you buy two or more select major appliances. Restrictions apply, of course, but if you’re in the market for new appliances, this is a deal you shouldn’t pass up.
Summer is a great time to add new furniture and accessories to your home. With so many different get-together’s going on, it quickly becomes alarmingly apparent that that old sofa you’ve had since college may not be the best place for guests to sit. Fortunately, Wayfair is having one of their largest sales of the year. You’ll find discounts up to 75 percent on bedding, outdoor furniture, dining room furniture, mattresses, and more.

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.
The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.
What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.
