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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Shaving a massive AU$151 off, this Shark IZ102 cordless vacuum offers powerful suction and a self-cleaning brush roll. Plus, the nozzle has LED lights that'll reveal any hidden dust and debris as you vacuum.
This small blender is perfect for breakfast or smoothies on the go and packs a mighty punch. The blender is small enough to fit inside your bag, and you can whip up 15 drinks per charge. Also available in a ton of fun colours under the same listing.
This LG A9 CordZero handstick stands out with its ability to both vacuum and mop. It also includes a self-emptying dustbin and LG's Kompressor technology, which compresses collected debris to allow for more capacity before emptying is required.
Shark's FlexBreeze Fan can be used both corded and cordless, thanks to its detachable head and rechargeable battery. It can even be transformed from a pedestal fan to a desktop fan in seconds, making it extremely versatile. This deal comes with the misting attachment, which spritzes water to cool you down even more.
Other stores:• Shark (without misting attachment): AU$199.99
We gave this Breville compact pizza oven 4 out of 5 stars in our review, but we knocked off a mark because it was too expensive. But this discount slashes a modest AU$100 off at The Good Guys. Emulating a traditional wood-fired pizza oven, it can reach up to 400C and creates a direct intense heat that ensures a perfect pie every time. Looks can be deceiving though, as this appliance will take up a microwave-sized portion of countertop space and weighs around 15kg.
Score 20% off this next-level shop vac from Shark. This ultra-powerful mini vacuum can be used to clean wet or dry messes inside and outside your home, and can even suck up glass, screws, gyprock and any liquids. Cleaning the machine is easy too, as all you'll need is a cup of water to clean the dustbin using the hose.
The Shark Steam and Scrub Mop offers boosted steam power, with specifically designed scrubbing pads that rotate 150 times per minute to hold and lock in dirt. With four washable mop pads included in the box, you'll always have a fresh set ready to go.
Now at a new low on Amazon, this versatile kitchen appliance is within reach. The KitchenAid KM-150 Artisan Stand Mixer is more than just a whipping and mixing machine. When paired with additional attachments, you can slice veggies, grind meat or even make pasta — the options are endless.
That said, this discount is pretty major, but you'll only get the standard mixer with the whisk, dough hook and flat beater attachments inside the box.
Available in Almond Cream, Empire Red and Matte Black under the same listing.
A welcome saving on the Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum here, that's AU$50 better than the Boxing Day sales. Thanks to an extending side brush, Dyson's robovac does a better job of getting closer to the edges of a room compared to others. Couple this with Dyson's suction power, and you have yourself a solid robot vacuum minion.

If you're strapped for cash when it comes to owning one of the best hair dryers — aren't we all? — then the Laifen SE is one to consider. This turbocharged dryer packs an impressive 105,000RPM motor that can generate wind speeds of up to 21kmph, meaning it'll dry your hair in no time. The dryer comes with two magnetic attachments — the Smooth Nozzle for frizz-free finishes and the Diffuser Nozzle for curly and coily hair types.

The Dyson Airwrap is pretty well known in the hair and beauty space, as it does literally everything you'd expect from a multi-styler. It curls, it smoothes, it shapes, and it dries — all without the risk of major heat damage to your hair. And now, the Origin edition of the styler is now down to just AU$599 on Amazon.
Now down to a low of AU$995, Dyson's Detect Submarine houses a powerful suction and a superb runtime of up to 60 minutes. It can handle all floor types, including wet and dry messes, and now it's discounted by 36%.
We gave this impressive hair straightener a massive 4 out of 5 stars in our review, as it took less than 20 minutes to dry and style our reviewer's hair. We knocked a mark off though, as we felt this styler had an inflated price tag.
However, this fine deal from Dyson direct is the icing on the Airstrait's cake, bringing it down to just AU$599 during Dyson Frenzy. It's not the cheapest price we've seen for the hair tool, but it's still a mighty good discount of AU$150.
If you need a new hairdryer, but don't require all the bells and whistles of a Dyson Supersonic or Shark Speedstyle, then this Remington Aero 2000 is a great option. For under AU$20, this Remington dryer packs a 2000W motor that's ideal for fast drying and styling if you're in a hurry. It comes with two styling attachments and has 3 different heat settings, including a cool shot for setting your blowout.
Now at a new low, Dyson's "most intelligent" hairdryer is designed to dry your hair faster and without the possibility of heat damage thanks to its new Scalp Protect mode. We gave it a massive 4 out of 5 stars in our review, only knocking it back due to its hefty price tag. But now, with an impressive discount on the Ceramic Patina / Topaz colourway from its maker, this hairdryer is worth snapping up.
Styling your tresses doesn't have to end in knotty messes, thanks to the Shark SmoothStyle. The tool was specifically designed to straighten and smooth hair through heated comb technology, delivering healthy and voluminous end results. The styler also comes with Wet Hair mode so you can quickly style wet hair with minimal heat damage.

The Sperax RM-A-01 walking pad houses three modes — walking, jogging and vibration — so you can meet your fitness goals while working from home. It's light, compact and easily folded away, so you won't have to worry about the machine taking up too much floor space when not in use.
Hitting your fitness goals can be tricky, and it always helps to have the right tools in your arsenal to get you there faster. The Homebuds Digital Scales provide accurate results every time, thanks to the in-built auto calibration and weight sensors. The scales come with batteries included and a bright LED screen for displaying results.
A lovely discount on these platform sandals directly from the maker. If you prefer slides over clogs (honestly, same here), then these Cozzzys shouldn't be dismissed. These sandals come with a fuzzy layer, keeping you and your toes snug, no matter the activity.
Do note, though, this discount is exclusive to the Hot Blush colourway.
Knocking a huge 80% off, these sandals are down to a modest AU$23.99 in both the Vanilla and White colourways. If you're keen on a chunky heel hiker aesthetic, these shoes are great for outdoor activities, like picnics, nature walks and more.
Get cozy and stay that way when walking in the Skechers Dynamight Cozy Time sneakers. This ultra-lightweight lace-up features an engineered mesh upper, a Skechers Memory Foam insole and a Skech-Air cushioned midsole.

Samsung's upcoming tablets don't appear too energy efficient in leaked labels

The European Union's European Product Registry for Energy Labeling (EPREL) mandate is proving to be a goldmine for tech enthusiasts. For reference, the label, which is mandatory for certain energy-related products imported into the EU market, displays information like battery life on a single charge, average charging cycles before the product's battery degrades, drop, dust, and water resistance, alongside repairability ratings. The labels were introduced to enhance transparency in the market, though they now also serve as an early leak source for unreleased products. We already know a lot about the remainder of the tech South Korean tech giant Samsung aims to release within 2025, and a new EPREL leak just corroborated some of those details. We're talking about the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, and the trio of the Tab S10 Lite, Tab S11, and the Tab S11 Ultra, EPREL labels for which were shared by @Sudhanshu1414 on X (via SamMobile). Galaxy S25 FE Expected to be released earlier than usual (as confirmed by Samsung itself), the Galaxy S25-based Fan Edition device should last roughly 42 hours on a single charge. The figure is derived from standardized tests, and, of course, this figure will change depending on your usage. For what it's worth, early leaks suggested that the Galaxy S25 would run on a 4,500mAh cell, which is actually smaller than its predecessor's battery. That leak was put into contention by a leaked Tesco listing yesterday that suggested the S25 FE will instead offer a 200mAh battery bump over its predecessor with a 4,900mAh cell. You'll be able to charge the bigger cell at 45W wired charging speeds, with the device packing roughly 2,000 charges before its battery capacity significantly degrades. The device will reportedly have a Class A drop resistance, which is the highest rating in EPREL's standard, paired with a B in energy efficiency, and a C in repairability. Tab S10 Lite The cheaper Tab S10 Lite is coming this year, as confirmed by a Google Play Console listing. From what we already know, the entry-level tablet will be powered by the mid-range Exynos 1380 5G chipset, with 6GB of RAM, and both Wi-Fi and cellular variants. The device will reportedly last 87 hours and 42 minutes on a single charge, with an S25 FE-like 2,000 charge cycle endurance. It'll offer IP42 water and dust resistance, paired with an abysmal E rating for drop resistance (expected for a tablet). Energy efficiency and repairability aren't great either, with an E and C rating, respectively. You can expect the Tab S10 Lite to cost less than the Tab S10 FE's starting price of $500. Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra Samsung has confirmed that the Tab S11, and its higher-end sibling, the Tab S11 Ultra, are both landing this year. Although the two will have major differences when it comes to specs, they look identical in theseEPREL ratings. The only difference between the two is that the cheaper Tab S11 will run for 81 hours on a single charge, while the Tab S11 Ultra will go up to 94 hours and 51 minutes without you having to plug it in again. Apart from that, both upcoming tablets are expected to offer the worst energy efficiency the standard has for tablets, paired with an E in drop resistance. Both tablets will retain the majority of their battery capacity for roughly 1,200 charging cycles, and will offer average repair difficulty with a Class C repairability rating. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is expected to be unveiled sometime in late August or early September, with the new tablets making their way to the market later in the year.

Accenture to Acquire CyberCX, Expanding Cybersecurity Capabilities in Asia Pacific

NEW YORK & MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has agreed to acquire CyberCX, a leading privately-owned cybersecurity services provider serving both private and public sector organizations across Australia, New Zealand and internationally. The move represents Accenture's largest cybersecurity acquisition to date and will significantly bolster Accenture's cybersecurity services in Asia Pacific. It will further expand Accenture's leading position in the region, enhancing its ability to build business resilience, protect critical infrastructure and drive secure enterprise reinvention amidst an increasingly complex regulatory and threat landscape. Established in Melbourne, Australia in 2019, CyberCX is one of the largest and most prominent cybersecurity firms in the Asia Pacific region with a highly skilled workforce of approximately 1,400 professionals. The company's end-to-end services extend across consulting, transformation and managed security services and include advanced capabilities in offensive security and cyber physical security, crisis management, threat intelligence, managed detection and response, as well as strategic advisory, identity, cloud and network security. CyberCX operates a network of advanced security operations centers across Australia and New Zealand, with additional offices in London and New York, combining deep local insight with international reach. Additionally, CyberCX brings innovative AI-powered platforms that deliver cybersecurity services including detection and response, sovereign secure cloud, CyberCX Academy for training and learning as well as proprietary tools for security testing and cyber intelligence. This strategic move is timely given Accenture's recent State of Cybersecurity Resilience 2025 report, which found that 97% of Australian organizations are not adequately prepared to secure their AI-driven future, with 80% lacking the critical data and AI cybersecurity practices needed to protect models, data pipelines and cloud infrastructure. 'CyberCX and Accenture share a mission to harness the power of cyber to help our clients securely navigate change, accelerate business reinvention and build resilience against evolving threats,' said Paolo Dal Cin, global lead, Accenture Cybersecurity. 'By combining Accenture's agentic AI capabilities with CyberCX's strong market leadership, innovative offerings and trusted C-suite and government relationships, we will enable clients across Asia Pacific to transform cybersecurity into a strategic advantage.' CyberCX has established strong ecosystem partnerships across major cybersecurity players such as Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike, consistently winning awards as one of the top managed service and system integrators in the region. This success is underpinned by extensive expertise, showcased through over 2,600 certifications. "Client demand for cybersecurity services is accelerating as data and digital environments become increasingly connected and heightened threats are exposed across operational value chains, supply chains and the enterprise. The need for responsible governance is also rising as AI and Quantum technologies advance,' said Peter Burns, who leads Accenture's business in Australia and New Zealand. 'CyberCX's breadth of capabilities, trusted relationships with government and critical infrastructure organizations, and exceptional talent in the region, combined with Accenture's local and global scale and innovation, will help us meet this ever-increasing client need.' John Paitaridis, CEO of CyberCX, said, 'We are immensely proud of the business we have built, becoming one of the leading providers of cybersecurity services in the region. Joining Accenture's global cybersecurity organization enables our exceptional people to combine forces with global capabilities and provide world-leading cybersecurity services to an even greater number of clients across Asia Pacific as we accelerate our growth in the region. Our shared mission for helping clients stay ahead of emerging threats and build resilience makes this a force multiplier.' The acquisition of CyberCX will be the latest in a series of strategic moves by Accenture to expand its cybersecurity capabilities and solutions. Since 2015, Accenture has completed 20 security acquisitions, including most recently acquiring Morphus, MNEMO Mexico and Innotec Security. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
