The Best Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy With $2,000 Right Now
Berkshire has a tiny position in a dominant tech-driven enterprise that has multiple growth drivers working in its favor, most notably AI. Buffett appreciates businesses that have an economic moat, something this leading financial services entity undoubtedly possesses. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Because of Warren Buffett's exceptional track record allocating capital for Berkshire Hathaway, the average investor can gain a lot by following his moves. If you're looking for new investment ideas, perhaps it's best to take a look at the conglomerate's massive $280 billion portfolio. There are numerous holdings. However, there are a couple that really stand out. Here are the best Buffett stocks to buy right now with $2,000. Apple remains a top Buffett position, as the consumer electronics leader represents 21.6% of the portfolio. But Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), another tech giant, is a top stock that investors should consider buying. Berkshire owns 10 million shares, translating to a tiny 0.1% stake in the business. Don't let that small position sizing take away from just how wonderful a company Amazon is. This is demonstrated by its durable growth trajectory, which is driven by multiple secular trends. Investors are all too familiar with Amazon's position in the e-commerce industry. The business went from selling only books to now offering cars on its popular marketplace. Almost 38% of all online sales in the U.S. happen on Amazon. The company has created a leading cloud computing platform as well, with Amazon Web Services (AWS). According to Grand View Research, the global cloud market is set to grow at a compound annual rate of 20% through the rest of the decade to a value of $2.4 trillion. AWS is well-positioned to capture this opportunity, especially with budding interest among its customer base in utilizing its expanding AI capabilities. In the past 12 months, Amazon's digital advertising efforts raked in $58.3 billion in revenue. This figure is growing at a double-digit pace. Given how profitable others in the space are, this activity is likely generating substantial earnings for Amazon. Ongoing top-line growth should propel the bottom line. Wall Street thinks Amazon's operating income will rise 13% year over year in 2025 to $77.3 billion. That figure would be 534% higher than in 2022, showcasing how effective expense controls have been in boosting profitability. The stock has been a laggard this year, down 7% (as of June 2) in 2025. But shares have soared 852% in the past decade. Investors can add Amazon to their portfolios with the stock trading 15% below its peak. Another Buffett stock that looks like a smart buying opportunity with $2,000 is American Express (NYSE: AXP). Berkshire owns nearly 152 million shares in the financial services leader, which makes it one of the top holdings. American Express might not operate in tech-focused industries like Amazon does. However, its financial performance over the years has been steady. This is true in today's uncertain economic environment. During the first quarter of 2025, payment volume was up 6% year over year, supported by spending in both goods and services, and travel and entertainment. This helped revenue increase 7%. Profitability is also noteworthy; diluted earnings per share jumped 9%. One of Buffett's core investment tenets is to buy companies that possess an economic moat. American Express undoubtedly fits the bill. Because it operates the underlying payment infrastructure, it benefits from a powerful network effect. The system becomes more valuable to key stakeholders, namely cardholders and merchants, the larger it gets. That's because cardholders find more utility by having more places to shop. Merchants understand the spending power of these consumers, so they plug into the Amex network to maximize their ability to earn more revenue. American Express' brand also can't be overlooked. The company's premium credit cards attract a more affluent customer base that's comfortable paying high annual fees for what they might view as a status symbol in their wallets. It helps that Amex also offers first-rate rewards and perks for cardholders to receive more value. It's worth mentioning that this brand is resonating strongly with younger consumers. "As in past quarters, Millennial and Gen-Z consumers made up over 60% of new consumer accounts acquired globally in Q1," CEO Stephen Squeri highlighted on the latest earnings call. This demographic has decades of spending ahead of it that could flow to Amex. Buffett and Berkshire continue to hold on to the stock. The average investor might want to follow.

OnePlus 13s debuts with a Gemini feature not even Pixels have
Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR The OnePlus 13s is the first Android phone to feature a lock screen shortcut for Gemini, a feature missing on even Google Pixel devices. The phone also introduces OnePlus AI and Gemini integration for OnePlus apps. The OnePlus 13s is a compact flagship launched in India and is similar to the OnePlus 13T from China. OnePlus just launched the OnePlus 13s in India, joining its siblings, the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R, in the flagship segment. While the phone is notable as it marks the company's foray back into sensibly-sized flagship smartphones, it's also the first phone to debut a lock screen shortcut for Gemini, a feature that isn't even present on Pixels! Right out of the box, you can spot the Gemini shortcut on the OnePlus 13's lock screen. The shortcut references Gemini as 'Digital assistant from Google,' but the icon makes it clear that it is Gemini. Triggering the shortcut launches Gemini, so there's no doubt about what this is. What makes this lock screen shortcut interesting is that it's not present on Google's own Pixel devices. On Pixel devices, you get the usual shortcut choices of Camera, Do Not Disturb, Flashlight, Home, Mute, QR code scanner, and Video camera. The options remain the same on Android 15 and Android 16 — only the UI changes. Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority Lock screen shortcut options on Pixel UI Google has been testing another pill-shaped button for invoking Gemini from the lock screen, but this lock screen shortcut on the OnePlus 13s is better integrated and doesn't feel out of place. You can still access Gemini on the lock screen with the 'OK Google' or 'Hey Google' wake word, or by long pressing the power button (unless you've changed the setting back to the power menu). Beyond this change, the OnePlus 13s is also the first device from OnePlus to feature OnePlus AI, including OnePlus AI Plus Mind as well as Gemini integration for OnePlus apps. The OnePlus 13s is similar to the OnePlus 13T from China, with key differences being the battery capacity (smaller 5,850mAh for 13s vs 6,200mAh for 13T) and the front-facing camera (32MP AF for 13s vs 16MP FF for 13T). Of course, the OnePlus 13T in China runs Color OS without Google apps, while the OnePlus 13s runs Oxygen OS 15 with Google apps. Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority Other notable specifications include the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.0 storage, 80W SuperVOOC charging (but no wireless charging), 50MP primary camera and 50MP 2x telephoto camera, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and NFC. The phone's most notable feature is its (relatively) small size. It has a 120Hz 6.32-inch FHD+ display in a body that is about the size of the iPhone 16 Pro and weighs just 185g. Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority The OnePlus 13s isn't coming to the US, but at least the (relatively) compact phone is being made available in a market other than China. In India, you can get the OnePlus 13s for Rs. 54,999 (~$640) for the 256GB storage variant and Rs. 59,999 (~$700) for the 512GB storage variant. Got a tip? Talk to us!

The best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories for 2025
Sam Rutherford for Engadget Now that the Switch 2 is finally here, you may be equally as excited to kit out your new console with the right accessories as you are to dive into Mario Kart World . Not only can the right accessories make it easier and more fun to play all of the games you love, but they can also make your gaming experience better in different environments, be it on the couch, in an airplane or in the car. We're excited to get our hands on some of the newest Switch 2 accessories (more on those below), but plenty of our favorite classics are compatible with the Switch 2 as well as older versions of the console. These are our current favorite Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, and we'll add to this list over time as we test out new gear. Though we absolutely adore 8BitDo's PlayStation-styled Pro 2 gamepad for its versatility and design (so much so that we featured it in our Switch OLED accessories guide), for many the ideal controller style is that of the Xbox, with its thicker middle and centrally-placed left analog stick. Fortunately 8BitDo has released an update to its Ultimate controller, one with faster buttons and sensitive but also more durable thumb sticks. It's a luxury gamepad experience for a rather reasonable price. — Kris Naudus, Former Commerce Writer $60 at Amazon It can always feel a bit weird to play your Switch in tabletop mode, hunched over a desk or table with the controller clutched in both hands. The Lite SE is made for gamers with limited mobility, but everyone can benefit from this controller that puts the shoulder buttons on the front and has a grippy back so you can just lay it flat on the table for a more arcade-like experience. It's also great if you just want to play it one-handed when you're busy with a drink or a needy pet. — K.N. $21 at Amazon Our top pick for the best gaming headset, the Turtle Beach Atlas Air is a good place to start if you want a dedicated pair of cans to use with the Switch 2. These wireless headphones have an open-back design, which do let some ambient noise in but also create the sense that the game you're playing is happening around you rather than just inside your head. While the design isn't anything to write home about in terms of aesthetics, it's comfortable and lightweight at only 0.66 pounds, and its detachable boom mic will come in handy when playing online with friends. — Valentina Palladino, Deputy Editor $147 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $180 at Best Buy If you want most of the advantages of a gaming headset without all the bulk, the Tusq is a great mobile solution you can tuck into your bag. Like many earbuds made for mobile, the Tusq has a built-in mic. But, unlike most, it also has a detachable boom mic that'll ensure your voice comes in crystal clear when you need it the most. The headset uses a standard 3.5mm plug so it'll play nice with the headphone jack on your Switch, too. — K.N. $42 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $58 at Walmart One of our top picks for the best power banks, this Anker brick might be called a laptop power bank, but it can power up much more than just notebooks. Its 100W power delivery should be plenty of give your Switch 2 some extra juice while you're traveling, and you won't even have to remember to bring a USB-C cable with you since the brick has two built in. It performed well in our testing and we like its built-in display that shows the amount of power left in the bank itself, as well as the wattage funneling to each device you have connected to it. — V.P. $135 at Amazon We're mentioning the SanDisk microSD Express Card in this guide for now since it's the only microSD Express Card we've been able to fully test at this point. In our testing, we found SanDisk's card to be super fast, with impressive sequential read and write speeds. At its best, it's roughly twice as fast as the best UHS-I models we've tested. It's on the expensive side, though, starting at $54 for 128GB, and currently its only other configuration is 256GB. Ultimately, we recommend waiting for more microSD Express cards to become available so you have more options to choose from before buying. But if you simply must kick off your Switch 2 experience with expanded storage ad are willing to pay the price, this is a good option. — V.P. $54 at Adorama Explore More Buying Options $54 at Amazon$60 at Best Buy Nintendo announced a bunch of new accessories when it revealed the Switch 2 earlier this year. Key among them are a new Switch 2 Pro controller, Switch 2 camera, an all-in-one carrying case and more. Our staff will be testing out a bunch of these accessories, and we'll keep our favorites list up to date as we do so. If you're interested in picking any of those new Switch 2 accessories up, you can find them at a variety of retailers: Joy-Con 2 bundle Nintendo Walmart GameStop Best Buy Target Amazon Switch 2 Pro Controller Nintendo Walmart GameStop Best Buy Target Amazon Switch 2 Camera Nintendo Walmart GameStop Best Buy Target Amazon Hori Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip Nintendo Walmart GameStop Best Buy Target Amazon Joy-Con 2 Wheels (set of 2) Nintendo Walmart GameStop Best Buy Target Amazon Switch 2 All-in-One Carrying Case Nintendo Walmart GameStop Best Buy Target Amazon Switch 2 Carrying Case and Screen Protector Nintendo Walmart GameStop Best Buy Target Amazon
