Huge Motorola sale at Best Buy — get these unlocked phones from just $249

Tom's Guide19-07-2025
Back to school season has arrived. If you're looking for a new smartphone, but don't have a particularly large budget to work with — Best Buy's latest sale is worth checking out.
For a limited time, Best Buy is taking up to $400 off select Motorola phones. What's great about this sale is that includes various unlocked models, so you can use the phone at your carrier of choice. Additionally, there's a wide range of phones on sale with deals at every price point. Here are some of my top picks below.
The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is the best model in Motorola's G series of lower-cost phones, and the stylus is a big reason why. You can use it to jot down notes on the phone's 6.7-inch display, and it also comes in handy for photo editing. While the stylus isn't as advanced as the S Pen that comes with Samsung's phones, you're also not paying upwards of $999 for the device like you would have to with the Samsung phone.
Even though it's not Motorola's flagship phone, the Motorola Edge 2024 still carries its weight with its performance, sleek design, gorgeous pOLED display, dual cameras, and speedy 68W TurboPower charging that will get it to a decent level in 30 minutes of charging. At this price, it's a killer value.
The Motorola Razr 2024 model is the cheap foldable of our dreams. Compared to the last model Motorola has increased the size and brightness of the screen while improving the battery life. The Razr is a handy little device that offers all the physical benefits of a foldable phone while making sure it doesn't break the bank. Yes, there's a new 2025 model, but it starts at $699.

Huge Apple summer sale just went live from $25 — save on AirTags, Apple Watch and more

Back to school season is a great time to revamp your Apple gear. Even if you're not a student, there are plenty of Apple deals you can take advantage of right now from retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. I've been using Macs all my life and the 13-inch MacBook Air (M4) on sale for $849 at Amazon is one of the best Apple deals of all time. You get Apple's latest silicon, 16GB of RAM, and a svelte laptop you can use for just about anything. I'm also a big iPad fan and right now Amazon has the 11" iPad (A16) on sale for $299. Yes, this was $20 cheaper on Prime Day, but scoring Apple's flagship iPad for $299 is what I consider an epic bargain. Whether you're searching for Apple back to school sales or just need to upgrade your current Apple gear, below I've listed all of my favorite Apple deals right now. The Apple AirTag is an excellent key finder that is extremely easy to set up and does a great job of locating your valuables. It's a modest discount, but you'll pay less if you buy it via Amazon than you would via the Apple Store. The Apple AirTag is an excellent Bluetooth tracker that is extremely easy to set up and does a great job of locating your valuables. Each coin-sized tracker offers a replaceable battery lasting over a year, water resistance, and seamless integration with iPhones. This bundle includes four, so you can have one on multiple items! The AirPods 4 boast a new design, which Apple has refined with "50 million data points" to create the most comfortable AirPods ever. They also feature Apple's H2 chip, which delivers clearer calls with Voice Isolation, and a new, hands-free way to interact with Siri. The AirPods 4 also have USB-C charging and include up to 30 hours of listening time. In our AirPods 4 review, we said the Editor's Choice earbuds bring Apple's wireless earbuds lineup into the modern day with Pro-level features for less. This deal brings a long-awaited discount to the Beats Pill. We had a Beats Pill hands-on, and found a speaker that has (as you might expect) some massive bass and a slick look. Battery life is respectable at 24 hours, and its waterproofing makes it perfect for pool parties and outdoor use. The AirPods Pro 2 pack Apple's new H2 chip to provide 2x more noice cancellation than their predecessors. They also offer Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive audio experience. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said they take everything we loved about the original AirPods Pro to the next level. This new model includes a USB-C charging case. The current-gen Apple Watch SE sports an S8 processor, Crash Detection capability, and watchOS 11. In our Apple Watch SE review, we called it the best Apple Watch value you'll find. Note: It sold for $149 last Black Friday, but $169. remains the lowest price I've seen for 2025. The Apple Watch 10 boasts a thinner/lighter design, faster charging, and an FDA-authorized sleep apnea detection feature. Other key features include 30% more screen area, rounded corners, and a first-ever wide angle OLED display. In our Apple Watch 10 review we said the optimized watchOS 11 experience and faster charging are worthwhile and make this the Apple Watch to get for most people. The 2025 iPad features a larger 11-inch (2360 x 1640) screen, A16 CPU, 12MP rear/front cameras, USB-C connectivity and Magic Keyboard Folio ($249) support. The base model features 128GB of storage, which double the capacity of its predecessor. It's available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities. The 2025 iPad Air packs Apple's M3 processor, an 11-inch LED (2360 x 1640) display, 128GB of storage, 12MP rear camera and 12MP front camera. The tablet packs a more powerful 8-core CPU, which makes the M3 up to 35% faster for multithreaded CPU workflows than the iPad Air M1. There's also a 9-core GPU on board with 40% faster graphics performance than the M1. In our iPad Air M3 review we said its fun Apple Intelligence features, reliable battery life (9 hours w/ 41 minutes) and overall thin design make it a winning Apple slate. It's just $20 shy of its all-time price low. This MacBook Air is powered by Apple's M4 chipset, and upgrades the camera from 1080p to 12MP with Center Stage support. The M4 chipset also supports dual external monitors, even when you have the laptop's lid open. It packs a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (2560 x 1664), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M4 review, we said the Editor's Choice laptop is irresistible thanks to its speedy performance, sharper camera and lower starting price. Prefer a bigger screen? The 15-inch MacBook Air M4 model is also on sale. It packs a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display (2880 x 1864), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air 15-inch M4 review we called it one of the best 15-inch laptops out there. Apple iPhone 16e: was $16/month now $5/month w/ Unlimited @ AT&TSign up for an unlimited plan at AT&T, and your monthly payment on an iPhone 16e drops from $16.67/month to just $5.99. Over the course of 36 months, that saves you more than $380 on the cost of Apple's entry-level phone. The iPhone 16e may be a lower-priced model, but it still supports the same Apple Intelligence features as flagship iPhones, and it's got a more modern design than previous iPhone SE models. Trade in an eligible device in any condition, and T-Mobile will give you a credit of up to $1,000 that you can apply to an iPhone 16 Pro. You'll need to sign up for T-Mobile's $100/month Experience Beyond plan to qualify as well, though if you opt for the $85/month Experience More plan, you can still get up to $830 in credit. T-Mobile will also pay off your phone up to $800 with your current carrier. This is a great way to get one of Apple's best iPhones at a low-to-no cost. No more running away from Apple's base model Mac mini. The M4 Mac mini packs that awesome M4 chip along with a doubling of RAM to 16GB and a 256GB SSD. Port array continues to be impressive with Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, Ethernet and more. In our Apple Mac mini M4 review we said the Editor's Choice machine is as close to perfect as it gets. Note: It sold for $499 over Prime Day, but has rarely been on sale this month. The iMac M4 delivers all the strengths of the iMac with the added juice provided by Apple's M4 chip, delivering better performance than any iMac to date. In our iMac M4 review, we said the Editor's Choice all-in-one delivers great performance. It features a 24-inch 4480 x 2520 display, 16GB of RAM, M4 chipset, 256GB SSD, and 12MP webcam.

Alphabet Stock (GOOGL) Climbs Despite Samsung's Galactical Search for New AI Agents

Shares in Alphabet (GOOGL) edged higher today despite technology giant Samsung Electronics looking to give its customers more AI variety in its future mobile phones. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. AI Diversity According to a report in Bloomberg, South Korea's Samsung is seeking other options outside of Alphabet's AI Assistant Gemini for its Galaxy devices. In an interview with Choi Won-Joon, president and chief operating officer of Samsung's mobile division, it was reported that it is already in talks with Microsoft (MSFT) -backed OpenAI and Perplexity AI, which is backed by chip giant Nvidia (NVDA), SoftBank (SFTBY), and Amazon (AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos. The main driver, according to Choi, is to give its customers more choice on its upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 smartphone line next year. Samsung's current line-up features Alphabet's AI model, like much of the rest of the field of Android devices. 'We are talking to multiple vendors. As long as these AI agents are competitive and can provide the best user experiences, we are open to any AI agent out there,' Choi said. As can be seen below, innovation, including those of rivals, is one of the key risks to Alphabet stock and its investors. Allay Doubts It is also understood that Samsung is nearing a deal to invest in Perplexity and integrate its app and assistant. Like rival Apple (AAPL), the Galaxy phone maker is looking to augment its own efforts at artificial intelligence with the best available from outside providers. Beyond AI, the mobiles-to-chips conglomerate is also reportedly evaluating new application processors for the Galaxy S26 and considering both Qualcomm (QCOM) Inc. products and its in-house Exynos 2600. For the recently released Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung used the Exynos chipset in a foldable for the first time. According to reports, the company has sought to reduce reliance on Qualcomm and allay doubts about the efficiency and thermal performance of its Exynos line. Is GOOGL a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, GOOGL has a Strong Buy consensus based on 28 Buy and 9 Hold ratings. Its highest price target is $250. GOOGL stock's consensus price target is $214.56 implying an 11.65% upside.

Walmart Has A 13-Inch MacBook Air For A Record-Low $599 Right Now

A new laptop is a significant investment — and if you've got your eye on a model from a premium brand like Apple, the price can jump well into the thousands. But if you're already using devices like an iPhone, iPad, AirPods, or an Apple Watch, it can be incredibly convenient to have a laptop that will integrate seamlessly into all of your existing tech. So when we spotted the brand-new 13.3-inch MacBook Air on an even deeper sale than last month at Walmart for $599, our jaws dropped. While Walmart lists the original price for the machine as $649, we've personally tracked these prices and can confirm that on June 1, it was for sale at $699 — which means you're getting an extra $100 off today!We've also done some quick comparison sleuthing on this MacBook and feel pretty sure this is a grab-now-or-forever-hold-your-peace kind of deal. 👀🍎Meanwhile, the new option previously listed at Best Buy for $999 is no longer is also no longer carrying this version on its website, but according to one of the price-tracking tools that we use, this MacBook's lowest price ever on Amazon was $749.(It's been reported that Apple is retiring this model, which may account for the drop in price.)So yes, this Walmart deal is rare and likely to disappear altogether, as it has on the other on the Walmart site, hundreds of customers have already taken advantage of this deal because the MacBook is most certainly no in three colors, the laptop offers a convenient 18 hours of battery life on a single charge. Apple's reliable M1 chip (which the brand describes as a 'major breakthrough') has 16 billion transistors and 8 CPU cores that promise faster performance than its predecessors, and 8 gigabytes of memory to keep your machine operating at a speedy clip. It also comes with Apple's standard one-year warranty, 90 days of complimentary tech support, and the option to purchase AppleCare for extended in case you were worried about its 2020 release date, here's a wild, true story:Hi! My name is Marquaysa Battle and I have a MacBook Air that I literally owned since 2015. She's 10 years old, fast as a whip, and the only reason I just sold her is because a friend used it, couldn't believe it worked so well, and bought it off of me for $200 for school. So yeah, it's not hype. A 2020 MacBook should perform well and serve you well for years to now, it's highly likely that inventory is limited on this beloved MacBook, so don't miss out! Promising reviews: "Got a good price, so I pulled the trigger and bought one. So far, so good. Works as expected, and has a lot of nice on-board features and software. I recommend. ⓹⭐️" —Broose"This older M1 MacBook Air is still an excellent laptop that will be more than sufficient for most users, and a lot cheaper than newer M3 and M4 MacBooks. Well worth the Walmart sale price of $650 while you can get it. It's almost as light as an iPad, but with a keyboard, etc., and the battery will last for days without a charge. I've had it for a week and still haven't charged it." —Jim"I had an old MacBook Air 2017 and wanted an updated one for AI. I want longer battery life and a faster computer. Very easy to set up, and all programs from the old MacBook transferred easily for setup. Fast service from Walmart for pick up at store. Recommend this MacBook if you want to upgrade." —Coad Get it from Walmart for $599 (originally $699).
