Best Buy makes the OnePlus 13R's amazing value proposition absolutely irresistible with new gift
If you don't feel like the OnePlus 13 is the best Android phone for you at a $100 discount with a $100-worth freebie also bundled in, then perhaps you should consider purchasing the OnePlus 13R instead right now. That's obviously a humbler device with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor under the hood in lieu of a state-of-the-art Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is why it's a lot cheaper than the latest OnePlus super-flagship, at a list price of $599.99 in a single 256GB storage configuration.
5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, 6.78-Inch AMOLED Display with 2780 x 1264 Pixel Resolution, 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, and Up to 4500 Nits of Peak Brightness, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 50 + 50 + 8MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 16MP Front-Facing Camera, 6,000mAh Battery, 80W Charging Support, Nebula Noir and Astral Trail Color Options, Free $100 Best Buy Gift Card Included Buy at BestBuy $50 off (8%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, 6.78-Inch AMOLED Display with 2780 x 1264 Pixel Resolution, 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, and Up to 4500 Nits of Peak Brightness, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 50 + 50 + 8MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 16MP Front-Facing Camera, 6,000mAh Battery, 80W Charging Support, Nebula Noir and Astral Trail Color Options, JUNE25 Promo Code Required, Free Sandstone Magnetic Case Included Buy at OnePlus
As an additional deal sweetener, Best Buy currently offers a $100 gift card with all OnePlus 13R purchases, whether you're willing to activate the 6.78-inch handset on a specific carrier and save another $100 or not.
The $100 freebie alone beats the first-party OnePlus Store promotion available at the time of this writing, which slashes 50 bucks off the aforementioned $599.99 price with no special requirements while also throwing in a complimentary magnetic case worth $24.99 by itself. Of course, it'd be nice to get an outright discount at Best Buy with no strings attached as well, but you have to remember this is a pretty amazing smartphone priced extremely competitively against the likes of Samsung's Galaxy S24 FE and Google's "vanilla" Pixel 9. In many ways, the OnePlus 13R is just as good as (if not better than) the Galaxy S25 too, supporting blazing fast 80W charging technology and somehow squeezing a massive 6,000mAh battery into a reasonably thin 8mm package made from a super-premium combination of aluminum and glass. Naturally, our OnePlus 13R review a few months back revealed a few weak points as well, like sub-par video recording quality and no wireless charging support. Still, at $599.99 with a $100 gift card included that every single one of you is bound to find extremely useful this summer, it's practically impossible to argue with the 13R's incredible value proposition. You're not looking at a perfect phone, but the bang for buck equation is essentially flawless.

The cutting-edge Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) foldable is even more compelling at a $130 discount
You might think that the perfect foldable device doesn't exist (at least not yet and certainly not in the US), but a quick look at our comprehensive recent Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) review is likely to change your mind, especially if you're not willing to wait a few more weeks to see what Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 are all about. Obviously, Motorola's aptly named new ultra-high-end flip phone doesn't come cheap, but for the first time ever, Amazon is giving its customers the chance to save a little money on this bad boy. Specifically, you can slash a cool 130 bucks off a regular price of $1,299.99 with no strings attached and no hoops to jump through right now, and if you hurry, you're even free to choose from four different colorways. 5G, Unlocked, 512GB Storage, 7-Inch Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2912 x 1224 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 4-Inch Secondary LTPO AMOLED Panel with 1272 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Capabilities, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor, 16GB RAM, Android 15, 50 + 50MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 50MP Single Front-Facing Camera, Dual Stereo Speakers with Dolby Atmos Technology, 4,700mAh Battery, 68W Wired Charging, 30W Wireless Charging, Four Color Options Buy at Amazon Those are Pantone Cabaret, Pantone Rio Red, Pantone Mountain Trail, and Pantone Scarab, each of which makes the stunning design of this generously sized and remarkably thin Snapdragon 8 Elite powerhouse pop in its own unique way. In case you're wondering, yes, Motorola itself is offering an even heftier $200 Razr Ultra (2025) discount that's actually been available for quite some time now, but only for a 1TB storage variant normally priced at a steeper $1,499.99. Meanwhile, the device manufacturer is oddly all out of 512GB inventory, which is the model currently sold by Amazon for $130 less than usual. 512 gigs of internal storage space should be plenty for most users, especially in combination with the same ultra-generous 16GB RAM count also found on the handset's top-of-the-line 1TB configuration. The key selling points, of course, are the huge 7 and 4-inch screens equipped with silky smooth 165Hz refresh rate technology, as well as the fittingly massive 4,700mAh battery supporting blazing fast 68W wired and 30W wireless charging. All of those specs are vastly superior to what the Galaxy Z Flip 6 offers in the same departments, and the three, count'em, three different 50MP cameras will also remain hard to beat for the fast-approaching Z Flip 7 . The long-term software support is the only field where the Razr Ultra (2025) is likely to be eclipsed by its biggest rivals this year, although Motorola is sure trying hard to make visible progress in that area as well. If you think you can live with just two or three major OS updates (compared to seven as far as Samsung's best phones are concerned), you should probably pull the trigger today with absolutely no hesitation.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 might actually be happening this year
Apple Watch Ultra 2. | Image credit – PhoneArena If Apple sticks to its usual playbook, we are likely looking at a September launch for its next wave of products. That includes the iPhone 17 lineup, and this time, it seems like Apple won't be leaving out the Apple Watch Ultra fans. Alongside the expected Watch Series 11, all signs are pointing to the long-awaited debut of the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Yep, another leak suggests Apple won't skip the Ultra model like it did last year. Apple completely sat out a refresh in 2024, only tossing in a black titanium finish for the Watch Ultra 2 and calling it a day. So, by the time the next model potentially rolls around this fall, it'll have been nearly two years since we've seen any real upgrade to the Ultra lineup. And hopefully, that wait pays off. And timing-wise, the Ultra 3 would be a perfect launchpad for Apple's new watchOS 26, which was just previewed earlier this month. The update includes a fresh design language and smarter functionality across the board. The most noticeable change in the new OS is visual. Apple's calling it Liquid Glass. It's a new real-time design system that makes menus and pop-ups look more dynamic, with light and depth that respond as you move through the watch. Basically, everything looks smoother and more alive. Video credit – Apple Plus, with watchOS 26, Apple is also bringing its AI-powered Apple Intelligence to the Workout app with a new feature called Workout Buddy. It gives you real-time spoken coaching based on your heart rate, pace, distance, Activity rings, and past performance. And let's be real – that's exactly the kind of feature Ultra users would appreciate while training outdoors or pushing their limits. Aside from all this, it sounds like the Ultra 3 will stick with the same bright display from the Ultra 2 – that's the one that cranks up to 3,000 nits, which is a step up from the original Ultra's 2,000-nit screen. So, visibility in direct sunlight? Still going to be top-notch. If you are still holding on to the first-gen Ultra, this might finally be the upgrade that feels worth it. Two years of development should mean a lot more than the usual minor changes we get year after year. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if more tech companies followed this pattern. Not every product needs a new version every year. Sometimes, real innovation comes from taking your time and dropping something that actually moves the needle. But first things first – let's see if the Ultra 3 actually shows up this year. After skipping 2024, the bar's already set pretty high. If Apple skips again, the hype for 2026 is going to be off the charts. And if it really ends up being three years? Then yeah, I'd want something big – maybe blood sugar monitoring. Why not, right?

The next Fan Edition smartphone is not coming from Samsung
Vivo X200 FE has the same specs as the S30 Pro Mini | Image credit: Samsung has found a way to make its 'flagship killers' stand out by attaching a special 'Fan Edition' tag to their names. These phones are slightly dumbed down versions of the company's popular flagships and are meant to offer a similar premium experience to those who can't afford Samsung's top-tier seems to have learned the lesson and decided to launch its own 'FE' version of a flagship, the X200 FE. This is the same phone that Vivo launches in China as S30 Pro Mini, which is now being released worldwide. The X200 FE will be initially introduced in Taiwan on June 23, followed by a wider global rollout starting on June 30. A new report claims the phone will be available in four colors: Black, Blue, Pink, and Yellow. European customers will be able to pick this one up for no less than €850, which seems a bit pricy for a 'flagship killer.' Since this has already been released in China, we know everything there is to know about its specs. For starters, the X200 FE is equipped with MediaTek's Dimensity 9300+ chipset, which made its debut about a year ago. Vivo's high-end phone packs 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage. The large 6,500 mAh battery supports 90W wired charging speeds. There are three cameras on the back side: 50-megapixel main, 50-megapixel telephoto, and 8-megapixel ultra-wide. Also, the X200 FE features a 50-megapixel selfie camera on the front side. Vivo X200 FE is a lot more expensive than its Chinese counterpart | Image credit: The X200 FE is a rather compact smartphone, which is why it sports a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with 1216 x 2640 pixels resolution, and 1-120Hz dynamic refresh rate. Other highlights of the phone include Android 15, IP68/IP69 ratings, under display fingerprint sensor, and stereo speakers. Vivo X200 FE lacks microSD card support, so you'll be stuck with the default storage. On paper, Vivo X200 FE is a pretty decent high-end smartphone, but the price might remove it from everyone's wishlists. Just for reference, the cheapest version of S30 Pro Mini was priced to sell for 3,500 yuan ($485/€420) in China, so an €850 retail price in Europe might kill it on arrival.
