There's good and bad news about the batteries in Samsung's next-generation foldables

There's good and bad news about the batteries in Samsung's next-generation foldables

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority
TL;DR The batteries for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 have received UL Demko certification.
The Z Fold 7 would have a total battery capacity of 4,272mAh, while the Z Flip 7 gets 4,174mAh.
Both devices may have 25W wireless charging speeds, up from the 15W of previous generations.
As we get closer to summer, Samsung's next generation of foldables is looming just over the horizon. We're anticipating Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event in the first half of July, which may be held in New York for the first time in three years. Here, we should see the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 devices, and leaks continue to give us a good idea of what to expect.
What appear to be the batteries for both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 have received UL Demko certification, which follows their earlier BIS certification, according to TheTechOutlook. Because of this, we now have some solid expectations for the capacities of both batteries.
For the Galaxy Z Fold 7, we're looking at possible battery model numbers of EB-BF966ABE and EB-BF967ABE, while these got certificate numbers of DK–163799-UL and DK–163657-UL. These are Li-ion batteries with capacities of 2,126mAh and 2,146mAh, which means 4,272mAh total for the rated capacity. As a comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 packs in 2,355mAh and 1,918mAH batteries, which brings its rated total to 4,273mAh. In terms of marketing, since the Z Fold 6 has a typical 4,400mAh capacity, we should expect something similar for the Z Fold 7 as well.
Regarding the Z Flip 7, we've got model numbers EB-BF766ABE and EB-BF767ABE for the potential batteries here, with certification numbers DK–163399-UL and DK–163928-UL. On this one, the capacities of the batteries are 1,189mAh and 2,985mAh, which would be a total of 4,174mAh. For reference, the Galaxy Z Flip 6's components were rated at 2,790mAh and 1,097mAh, which is a total of 3,887mAh capacity. The typical capacity for the Z Flip 6 is 4,000mAh, so Samsung may be thinking of positioning this be as 4,300mAh for the Z Flip 7.
From these new certification listings, those who prefer the larger Galaxy Z Fold series could see a negligible drop in battery capacity, while the Z Flip fans are likely due a more substantial increase. Of course, actual battery life depends on what you do with your device all day, so these numbers may or may not have a big impact. We'll find out when the phones launch and we try them out ourselves.
But there is some good news for both, thankfully. It appears the the next-generation of foldables should support 25W wireless charging, according to their listings in China's 3C certification database as spotted by TheTechOutlook. However, we also saw that both the Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 might only have 25W wired charging speeds as well, which isn't as impressive as some of Samsung's other flagships, and even mid-range devices with 45W.
We also expect the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 to have Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC and at least 12GB RAM. With just a couple more months before the release of Samsung's next-generation foldables, we shouldn't have a much longer wait and will likely see plenty more leaks in the coming weeks.

Samsung hit the sweet spot: AT&T talks Galaxy Z Fold 7, tri-folds and more

One of the biggest surprises this year has been the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. After several years where its rivals launched thinner and lighter folding phones that competed with, and exceeded, greats like the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung finally joined the party. Previous years have seen Samsung launch iterative versions of its phones. These would feel special in their own right, but wouldn't hit the same heights as the biggest rivals for the world's thinnest phone title: the current holder, the Honor Magic V5, and the past holder, the Oppo Find N5. Recommended Videos Against this, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 changes everything. It's the thinnest and lightest folding phone yet, and by far, the most successful Samsung folding phone ever. Customers are happy, as evidenced by the record pre-order numbers at both Samsung and carriers, but what makes the Fold 7 so special? How have carrier customers reacted to it, and what does the future hold for folding phones on the big carriers? To answer these questions and dive further into the world of folding phones from the perspective of a carrier, I spoke with Jeff Howard, Vice President of Mobile Devices and Accessories at AT&T. Here's what I discovered. Samsung figured out what foldables should be One of the biggest surprises with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the initial reaction to holding it for the first time. Despite trying every folding phone, I was still taken aback by the ultra-thin design, which is the best I've seen so far on a folding phone. It turns out that I wasn't the only one. We showed the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to 30 average smartphone users and discovered that most customers are impressed with the design. Jeff put it more succinctly: Customers come in and discover that it's finally in a form factor that's thin enough for me to carry around. Achieving this required 'Incredible attention to detail', which Jeff can intimately appreciate as he's also an engineer. Jeff also reserved praise for TM Roh, the current CEO of Samsung's Mobile Experiences (MX) division. 'Tim's been pushing his team for quite a while since he moved out of engineering and into the CEO position. I think they finally figured out what foldables should be.' Why AT&T picks some folding phones and not others Alongside the Fold 7, Samsung released the Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE. The former is the new flagship flip phone with a stunning 4.1-inch main display, while the latter is the company's first affordable flip phone. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is nearly identical to last year's Galaxy Z Flip 6, but unlike that flagship, the Flip 7 FE isn't being stocked by most major carriers. The answer is fairly straightforward, with Jeff explaining: Our customer base demands leading-edge technology, and they're super patient when it comes to trying new things. They always want the latest and greatest. The US market in particular poses additional challenges because of how the majority of phones are purchased. Unlike in some countries where customers pay upfront for a phone, most phones in the US are bought on installment plans. This makes the $300 price difference between the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and 7 FE far less meaningful. One of the challenges in the US market, specifically, is installment plans… and so when you're dividing payments by 36 months… it ends up being a couple of dollars [difference] per month. To further entice your purchase, Samsung and its carrier partners put together some of the best Galaxy Z Fold 7 deals. On AT&T, this includes up to $1,100 off a new Galaxy Z Fold 7 with any trade-in and a new line, and the Next Up Anytime program means you can get a new folding phone each year. These deals won't be for everyone, however, and in particular, there is a subset of customers that more affordable flip phones like the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE are arguably designed for: the budget-conscious. For carriers, this plays out with value-focused MVNOs like Cricket Wireless and others. Jeff explained why the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could still have a key role to play: Things like the FE that we've chosen not to carry… you'll notice that it and the [base] Razr are not in that category [of the newest and latest technology]. Our Cricket customers love that product… It's just a very different set of buying behaviors. When you look at a Cricket customer, they come in and say I may have to pay full price for this. There may be a financing option, but if I'm paying full price, then a value-type device fits my needs [better]. Rounding out the discussion on Samsung's latest folding phones, Jeff revealed his admiration for the Fold 7. To the [book-style folding phone] form factor and how things are being used today, I feel like they've absolutely hit a sweet spot. In our Galaxy Z Fold 7 review, I called it the best folding phone for most people. The record sales so far and the wide praise it has received suggest that Samsung really did hit the sweet spot. Tri-folding phones and other form factors While discussing the broader market with Jeff, the conversation turned to the subject of other form factors. In particular, tri-folding phones and smart glasses. AT&T is well-known for adopting the latest and greatest technology. The carrier was the original launch partner of the iPhone. More recently, it carried Microsoft's Surface Duo and Surface Duo 2 before they were killed, and it has stocked every Fold so far as well. Unsurprisingly, Jeff confirmed that this has no plans to stop: It doesn't matter if it's glasses, smartphones, watches, wearables, etc, whatever our customer wants when they're consuming content, we're going to [have] a solution for them. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 isn't likely to be Samsung's last folding phone this year, as the company is expected to unveil the upcoming Galaxy G Fold tri-folding phone. Designed as a competitor to the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate — the world's first tri-folding smartphone, which was launched last year — the form factor allows you to unfold a smartphone into a tablet-sized 10-inch display. Yet, this comes with a specific trade-off: the size. Looking at Huawei for an example, the Mate XT Ultimate is supremely thin at 3.6mm thick when unfolded, but given the two folds, it measures 12.8mm thick when folded. Granted, this is only 0.7mm thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but there's a definitive concern around size. Jeff echoed this sentiment as well: I think the real question is how good a tri-fold is from a size point of view… It's possibly a niche play as the use cases aren't immediately apparent for the form factor… I'm wondering whether there will be a need for continued growth and screen size for customers versus voice input. The latter point raised the final key area I wanted to discuss: other form factors. We've seen AI devices adopt many form factors, and Google is already working on a VR headset with Samsung, as well as smart glasses with Xreal and Warby Parker. Are smart glasses the answer? If I'm wearing smart glasses and they have a display inside, that's where I'm going to consume content… If I don't want to carry around a 7-inch display, I'll carry around my glasses, and I can view content in that way, which is more convenient. Despite some uncertainty around exactly what the final form factor for folding phones will look like, one thing is clear: the mobile industry has never been as exciting as it is now. I'm almost twenty years into reviewing technology, and there's never been a more exciting time in terms of the experiments and innovations that companies are building. As Jeff Howard put it: I've been in this industry for over 25 years… There hasn't been a time when the industry has moved faster. And it's customers who are driving that innovation. I look forward to this technology and these folding displays providing many more opportunities from a hardware point of view. Thanks again to Jeff and AT&T for taking the time to discuss the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with us. One month in, it's an incredible folding phone that you should consider for your next phone. Alternatively, one of the best phones may be a better fit, but regardless of which you buy, given the customer base, it'll most likely be available at AT&T.

Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra: Which will be the new Android king?

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. In the land of Android, no other matchup gets more buzz than the Google versus Samsung debate. That's why a Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra face-off is needed to see which of these phones could ultimately be the new Android flagship king. Nearly every aspect of Samsung's flagship was improved to unanimously become our best phone category winner. In our Galaxy S25 Ultra review, we specifically call out the processing and battery life performance gains of the phone thanks in large part to the Snapdragon 8 Elite — but the biggest boost came from its new Galaxy AI features. Google certainly has a tough road ahead of itself if it intends on having the Pixel 10 Pro XL beat out the Galaxy S25 Ultra. While the previous model has its own hallmark qualities, like having the brightest screen we've tested, the Pixel 9 Pro XL came up short against the S25 Ultra in our 200 photo shootout. This is why Google can't afford to come up short in any area if it wants to come out on top of this Pixel 10 Pro XL vs Galaxy S25 Ultra. We'll take everything we know about the upcoming Pixel and compare it to our actual testing and real life experiences with the S25 Ultra to see which could come out on top. Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra: Specifications Pixel 10 Pro XL (rumored) Galaxy S25 Ultra Display 6.8 inches 6.9 inches QHD+ (120Hz) CPU Tensor G5 Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy RAM 16GB 12GB Storage 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Rear cameras 50MP main, 48MP ultrawide, 48MP 5x telephoto 200MP main, 50MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x telephoto, 50MP 5x telephoto Front camera 42MP 12MP (f/2.2) Battery 5,200 mAh 5,000 mAh Colors Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone, and Jade Titanium Silverblue, Black, Bray and Whitesilver Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra: Release and Price The next Made by Google event is slated for August 20, where we'll presumably get the official Pixel 10 Pro XL announcement. If past events are any indication, we suspect the Pixel 10 Pro XL launch to happen the following week — perhaps on August 28 or 29. Recent reports suggest that Google's increasing the price of the Pixel 10 Pro XL to $1,199, which would be up from the $1,099 cost from before. However, this increase would merit a storage bump from 128GB to 256GB. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra launched earlier this year on February 7, 2025 after its announcement during Galaxy Unpacked on January 22. Samsung kept the same $1,299 price as before, which means that the Pixel 10 Pro XL could have the edge here if the rumors turn out true. Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra: Design Based on the leaks, not a whole lot is expected to change with the Pixel 10 Pro XL — and there's nothing wrong with that either. That's because renders of the phone show the same rounded corners from before, with that distinguishable elongated pill cutout for its rear cameras. These aesthetic qualities make the Pixel 10 Pro XL much more inviting to look at than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, especially when it's been recycling the same design for the last few generations. Although, its titanium frame continues to give it a study feel. But despite this, the Galaxy S25 Ultra just looks way too conventional at this point and it lacks the stylish cues that the Pixel 10 Pro XL appears to be bringing again. Google's tipped to bring 4 new colors with the Pixel 10 Pro XL: Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone, and Jade. Even though two of them are your typical black and white options, Moonstone and Jade add a level of appeal to the Pixel 10 Pro XL's design that the current color options for the Galaxy S25 Ultra lack. Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra: Display Google doesn't need to work too hard to convince people that the Pixel 10 Pro XL will have the better display, which is believed to be a 6.8-inch Super Actua panel according to specs leaks. This is because the Pixel 9 Pro XL already holds the title of the brightest display in a phone that Tom's Guide has tested — reaching an astounding peak brightness of 2,649 nits. In comparison, the Galaxy S25 Ultra's 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display reached 1,860 nits. Even though this is plenty bright enough to watch videos or surf the web while outdoors with the sun out, it's still way behind the Pixel 9 Pro XL's reach. Obviously there's an opportunity here for Google to widen the divide, but it appears as though Google's also working on using 480Hz Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) dimming for the 10 Pro XL's display to help reduce eye strain and fatigue. Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra: Cameras There are valid reasons why the Galaxy S25 Ultra is hailed as the best camera phone too. Some would argue the utility of its quadruple camera system, which consists of a 200MP main sensor, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP 5x telephoto, and 10MP 3x telephoto. Beyond the hardware, it's the robust camera app that sets it apart — mainly for how it offers true manual controls for photos and videos, something that very few phones offer. Furthermore, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has proven itself countless times in our various photo shootouts, like the time we captured over 200 photos between the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro XL. That one turned out to be one-sided with the Galaxy S25 Ultra cameras proving to be superior in just about every way. Camera leaks for the Pixel 10 Pro XL doesn't make it look promising for the unreleased phone because it appears that it will be using the same hardware as before, so that would mean a 50MP main shooter, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP 5x telephoto. This means that any improvements would have to largely come from newer image processing algorithms, which is a common practice for many phone makers. While both companies inject AI into its cameras and apps, it'll be interesting to see what else Google ends up doing to make the Pixel 10 Pro XL the better camera phone. Reportedly, Google's working on a Gemini-powered feature called Camera Coach, which would guide Pixel 10 Pro XL users to capture the best photos. Think of it as something like a professional shooter giving you shooting advice in real time by changing up the framing, lighting, and much more. Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra: Performance Historically speaking, Google's line of Tensor chips have often underperformed against whatever's powering Samsung's flagship. With the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Google's hoping to reverse the course with the Tensor G5 under the hood — which is reportedly being made using a 3-nanometer process. Benchmark test scores have never shown the Tensor to be at the top of the class when it comes to performance, but a switch to a 3nm manufacturing process could finally give the muscle power the Pixel 10 Pro XL needs to eclipse the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Snapdragon 8 Elite powering Samsung's flagship has already proven itself. Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra: Software and AI Both Samsung and Google have invested a lot around their software, especially when it comes to supplementing the experience with AI features. As we've seen with the Pixel 9 Pro XL, it introduced new AI features that still make it the best AI phone around — and this is despite the Galaxy S25 Ultra coming out later. Samsung's flagship made great strides with new features like cross app actions and audio eraser, while other Gemini-related features work no different from what the Pixel 9 Pro XL offered. Google could widen the gap with reports about the Pixel 10 Pro XL with a new AI assistant feature called Pixel Sense. Allegedly, this feature is supposed to take data from other Google Services to deliver a more personalized assistance. It almost sounds like Samsung's Personal Data Engine with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but it'll be interesting to see how Google does it. One UI 7 on top of Android 15 is what's currently running on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but it's expected to get One UI 8 with Android 16 soon. The phone's already a productivity powerhouse with its myriad of features, like Samsung DeX support, multitasking features, and S Pen. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is expected to run vanilla Android 16, but it's unclear if any additional features outside of what the company showed off at Google I/O 2025 will be introduced. Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra: Outlook The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the top Android phone to beat, but its time on the throne could be winding down — just as long as the Pixel 10 Pro XL gets all the necessary performance boosts. What also could help it out is that it might still end up being cheaper than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. We're confident that AI will continue to have a central part in its story, which could end up being the biggest differentiator between the Pixel 10 Pro XL and Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, Google's going to need to work some of its magic around the Pixel 10 Pro XL's cameras because there's only so much that newer image processing algorithms could do to enhance photos. We'll have a better idea once the next Made by Google event is here in a couple of weeks. More from Tom's Guide

Just make sure to apply the 15% coupon before checkout! Want a Samsung S-series device without the high cost? Samsung's Galaxy S24 FE (Fan Edition) provides just that, boasting Galaxy AI features like its premium siblings. This model comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Discount applies to the Mint, Blue and Graphite colour options. Not the biggest discount ever, but when you consider that Samsung's excellent A-series handsets are already pretty cheap to begin with, this is a great deal. The Galaxy A55 offers a stylish design and nice build quality for the price, and even provides some AI features, including the popular Circle to Search function. Looking for an entry-level handset that punches above its weight? Motorola's Edge 50 Fusion offers just that, boasting a 6.7-inch display, IP68 resistance to water and dust, 256GB storage capacity and a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 CPU. A great-looking smartphone that delivers style on a budget. If you haven't upgraded in some time and are looking for the cheapest possible iPhone, grabbing the iPhone 13 at this price might be the move. It should continue to receive software support until around 2028 based on the support of previous devices and, while the iPhone 14 is newer, it only offers an improved main camera and safety features like Emergency SOS via satellite and Crash Detection. However, for just AU$200 more, you could opt for the iPhone 16e or discounted iPhone 15. Cutting AU$150 off the iPhone 15 makes it a very enticing option if you're looking to upgrade. We have a guide on how to choose between the iPhone 15 VS the iPhone 16e, but the iPhone 15 at this price (compared to the AU$999 16e) might make it the winner for many thanks to more colour options; a brighter screen sporting the Dynamic Island, MagSafe charging and a better, more flexible camera system. This price on the iPhone 16 makes it a great option for those looking to snag a cheap iPhone. It offers a range of colours and the speed of Apple's A18 platform, combined with an excellent dual camera array and the new Camera Control button. We have a guide on seven differences between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16e, but the big difference is the base model's camera. At full price, the 16e is the easy choice, but this discount makes the base model considerably more attractive to budget buyers. This discount makes the 16 Pro Max an enticing buy for those who need a little more size and power for work or play. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is Apple's biggest and most powerful iPhone ever, with a beautiful screen, awesome camera and a power and battery life that our reviewer said made it "the big-screen smartphone of your dreams". The iPhone 16 Pro – offering the same power in a smaller frame – is also down to AU$1,529. You may have heard of HMD's Skyline smartphone — it's the handset you can repair on your own, with the ability to pop off its back so you can replace a cracked screen or other parts with ease. Now, how often the average person will need to do that kind of stuff remains to be seen, but if you're looking for a device for the long haul, the Skyline may be for you. Oh, and it's one of the only Android smartphones which supports Qi 2 wireless charging, which is neat. ↑ Back to all deals Right now, you can pick up the 128GB Wi-Fi model of the latest iPad Mini at a massive 14% discount, bringing it to its lowest price ever. Powered by the impressive A17 Pro chip, you can expect snappy performance from this tiny-but-mighty tablet, with a display measuring just 8.3 inches. Just because a laptop is a 2-in-1 doesn't mean powerhouse specs are off the table. Case in point, this HP Spectre x360, which packs a whopping 32GB of DDR5 RAM into its svelte chassis. This is a ripper of a deal for this recently launched laptop. For under AU$2,000, the Slim 7i Aura features the new Series 2 Intel Core Ultra 7 258V CPU, a 15.3-inch 2800 x 1800 touchscreen display and awesome features like Wi-Fi 7 and recognition webcam. This is the lowest price we've ever seen for the HP Victus 16, but AU$1,699 isn't too bad. For a bigger screen laptop with RTX 4070 GPU and 32GB RAM, you can conquer all quests with this HP, no matter whether you game or not. ↑ Back to all deals Need a cheap pair of buds that'll deliver some solid Spatial audio? Meet the Sony WF-C510s. These buds deliver some punchy, detailed sound, with support for 360 Reality Audio, nice ANC and impressive battery life. Samsung's third-gen Galaxy Buds may not be as powerful as its Galaxy Buds Pro 3, but they're far cheaper sand offer excellent battery life, great noise cancellation and live translation features when paired to a recent Galaxy smartphone. This portable speaker dropped to just AU$129 last Boxing Day, so this isn't the best price we've seen, but it's packed with features that drive deep, clear and immersive audio. This speaker is perfect for travelling, outdoors and parties, and it's waterproof, making it a poolside staple. Also available in Blue Dusk, Sandstone and Alpine Sage. Yes, they've been replaced by a newer model, but the Sony XM4 over-ear noise-cancelling headphones were so good upon their release, that they continue to hold their own now. Comfortable, incredibly effective noise-cancellation and Sony's stupendous sound, they're a terrific buy. These cheap buds pack a mighty punch. The EarFun Air Pro 3s deliver decent noise cancellation, premium sound quality and an impressive 45-hour battery life with the charging case. A "brilliant tracker" that earned 4.5 stars in our Fitbit Charge 6 review, if you want a small addition to your wrist that can handle all your fitness needs, it doesn't get better for AU$197. It offer a physical side button, improved heart rate monitoring over its predecessor, water resistance up to 50m and a 6-day battery life. The white model can also be had for AU$199. ↑ Back to all deals Slicing a massive 43% off RRP, this Govee backlight will change the way you watch movies, game or stream music on your smart TV. The lights can sync up to any form of entertainment using the accompanying app and dance along to your favourite tunes or enhance any film. A nice discount on this wildly popular new co-op platformer, from the makers of It Takes Two. You and your chosen partner will travel through this epic narrative as Mio and Zoe, two writers trapped in a simulation of their imaginations after an attempt to steal their ideas goes terribly wrong. For fans of Indiana Jones, Doom: The Dark Ages is currently available at a discount for PS5. Released just over a month ago on the platform, this title from developer Machine Games (known for Wolfenstein: The New Order) truly embodies the spirit of Indy. It masterfully blends stealth, combat, and puzzles within an adventure filled with spectacular set pieces and expansive open-world exploration. Better yet, it plays incredibly on PS5 Pro. We're now getting into true pro-level territory with the SteelSeries Apex Pro, which boasts magnetic Hall effect rapid-trigger switches for ultra-fast actuation and response time. Its linear OmniPoint switches also offer adjustable actuation from 0.4–3.6mm, allowing you to precisely customisable the feel and travel distance of every key. It also boasts a frame made from aircraft-grade aluminium alloy for increased durability. If you're primarily into MMO games, Corsair's Scimitar Elite might be for you. It sports 12 side buttons for quick access to all your commands, and also provides 150 hours of battery life. Offers a 2.4Hz dongle for wireless connectivity and also supports Bluetooth. ↑ Back to all deals It doesn't quite match a previous low of AU$349, but this nice discount using our exclusive code BREVFUTURE10 is still rather reasonable on the Bambino Plus. This compact machine ranks third on our best coffee machines list as a budget-friendly beginner machine. You'll need to pair it with a great coffee grinder; however, you can expect some seriously gorgeous crema and effortless microfoam. Also available at Amazon for AU$525, but no matter where you buy this machine, you'll surely be impressed. Calling all pet owners, parents, and messy eaters, this little machine is for you. Using warm water and stain formula, this carpet washer quickly removes spots and stains from carpets, furniture, rugs and more, with ease. Saving you time and money, this machine is worth every penny. Hailing from a well-known robovac brand, there's a massive 32% off RRP on the Ecovacs Deebot T30 Omni. The bot scored rather highly in TechRadar's review, nabbing an impressive 4.5 stars. The T30 Omni has excellent mapping and navigation, a nice design and is compact enough to fit under a kitchen or bathroom counter. If you're looking to save some extra pennies on a stick vac purchase, this deal is for you.
