Hot deals: High-capacity power banks that are still portable
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Technicalities Powkey Portable Power Station 200W Discounted with a $50 coupon The Powkey Portable Power Station 200W has long been a respected model in the world of battery packs. It came out at a time when this level of power was a bit unheard of in something so portable. Now it has some competitors, but it is still an excellent alternative for those who want a high-capacity battery pack that is actually portable. It measures 7.87 x 1.81 x 5.71 inches and weighs three pounds. While pretty small, it comes with a hefty 146Wh battery capacity, which is equivalent to about 42,000mAh. For perspective, keep in mind that an average smartphone has a battery of about 5,000mAh. You get plenty of options with this one, too. For starters, it has two AC outlets, which is already rare for something this small. There are also four USB-A outlets, a 12V port, and a 15V input. This means you can recharge it using solar panels! It has a 200W max output, but that can mainly be achieved using the AC outlets. Anker 548 Power Bank Discount only for Prime members If you need an upgrade and don't mind carrying something a bit bigger, the Anker 548 Power Bank is a really nice camping companion. It measures 4.59 x 4.59 x 8.17 inches and weighs in at 5.1 pounds. That said, it does feature a larger 60,000mAh battery capacity, and it has some extras many of you will love. For starters, it has a retractable light on top, which you can use to add ambient lighting to dark places. It only has two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports. One of the USB-C ports can output 60W, while the other is limited to 27W. The USB-A connections can reach 18W. Additionally, it has a solar panel input. GRECELL T300 Portable Power Station GRECELL T300 Portable Power Station GRECELL T300 Portable Power Station See price at Amazon Save $44.00 Limited Time Deal! Automatic limited time deal Now, if you need some more power, this is my favorite power station that is still easy to carry around. It has a much larger 230.88Wh battery capacity, which is enough to fully charge an average smartphone about 25 times. It can do much more than juice your phone up, though. The GRECELL T300 has a 330W stable output, with support for 600W surges. This means it can also power things like laptops, tablets, or even smaller appliances. Despite having so much power, it is still pretty portable at 9.61 x 6.72 x 6.97 inches and 7.3 pounds. Port availability is pretty nice, too. It has an AC outlet, which is the one that can handle those higher wattages. Additionally, there are two USB-C outlets with a 60W output, and there are also a couple of 18W USB-A connections. Additionally, you can take advantage of a car socket output. This one also has a light, and I would argue it's a more helpful one, as it is more like an actual flashlight, as opposed to a lamp-style general light. And like the other options, it also supports solar panel input. Catch these deals while you can! While not the most exciting, these middle-ground batteries are the most helpful. I have plenty of batteries I test for content here at Android Authority, and the GRECELL T300 is the one I use the most.

Amazon Prime Day 2025 Is Coming—Our Editors Found The Best Early Deals
Earlier this week, Amazon shared that Prime Day 2025 will be a four-day-long event, spanning Tuesday, July 8 through Friday, July 11. That means you'll have double the time to shop the retail giant's millions of deals this year. 'Prime Day 2025 is looking promising. I anticipate that we'll see a lot of first-time deals and all-time lows from a lot of brands as they try to encourage shopping in the face of economic uncertainty,' says supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone. Amazon Prime Day will officially arrive next month, but there are plenty of early deals worth ... More shopping right now—like this MacBook Air which is $4 away from its lowest price ever. But you don't have to wait until next month to start shopping impressive discounts. There are already plenty of early Prime Day deals live, and some products are already at their lowest prices ever. Here, our deals editors have rounded up the best early deals you can shop right now and outlined everything you need to know about next month's sale. You don't have to wait for Prime Day to find great deals on Amazon's site. The e-tailer is known for offering some of the best prices and widest variety of products online all year long. We did price history research to uncover the best early deals you can shop today. Amazon A portable charger is a must for frequent travelers and commuters. I brought this Anker model on a extended trip with friends recently, and it was the most used item among all of us. You can attach your phone magnetically and prop it up with the kickstand for hands-free use, or attach a USB-C charging cable for fast charging. Why It's A Good Deal: This is only $3 shy of the best price we've seen for this charger, and the lowest it's dropped since March. Amazon Our favorite Apple wireless earbuds, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 offer up to 30 hours of battery life, spacial audio, great sound and a secure fit. They also have a new Conversation Awareness feature that automatically adjust the sound when it detects you're speaking. Why It's A Good Deal: This matches the second best price we've seen for these earbuds, which haven't dropped any lower since December. Amazon With three speed and temperature settings, this Wavytalk tool lets you dry your strands efficiently without creating excess damage. Plus, the compact design makes it easy to travel with. Why It's A Good Deal: At $62.59, this is just $1 more than the hair tool's lowest price ever. Amazon If you're planning to spend a lot of time outdoors this summer, consider investing in a neck fan. They're a hands-free way to stay comfortable in the heat, whether you're lounging by the pool or headed to a music festival. Right now, this one's on sale for under $30. Why It's A Good Deal: This is a match for the fan's lowest price since January. Amazon Most beach bags end up filled with sand and stained with sunscreen by the end of the season. But this rubber design from Simple Modern is waterproof, so you can easily wipe it clean or rinse it out to keep it looking good as new. It also has a water-resistant pocket that you can use to store your phone or cash. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the bag's lowest recorded price on Amazon. Amazon If you're looking for a TV that'll let you catch every second of your favorite sports games in high res, this is a great option. It has an AI Sports Mode that sharpens and boosts the quality of whatever you're watching—including fast-moving action. It also has a gaming mode that allows for lag-free play. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the TV's lowest price ever. Amazon Typically you have to choose between getting the latest tech, or getting a good deal. But in this case, you'll get the best of both worlds: a 2025 MacBook Air for under $1,000. Why It's A Good Deal: This discount is just $4 away from the laptop's lowest price ever: $825.38. Amazon The Apple Watch Series 10 improves on its predecessors: It's thinner and includes an impressive suite of health and fitness features—not to mention seamless connectivity with your existing Apple eco-system. If you're an Apple user looking for a smartwatch or simply looking to upgrade from an older model, this is a good deal. Why It's A Good Deal: This discount matches the best price we've seen for the latest model. Amazon If you live in a smaller space with hard floors, check out this Dyson stick vacuum. The V8 Plus is lightweight, maneuverable and comes with several attachments to tackle a variety of cleaning needs, like stairs and upholstery. Why It's A Good Deal: This discount matches the second lowest price we've seen on this model in 2025. Amazon It's grilling season. If you're looking for a new grill, this is a solid deal on a cult-favorite model. The Traeger pellet grill can grill, smoke, bake and more all in one. This compact design won't take up a ton of space in your yard, but it can still hold up to 24 burgers or four whole chickens. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the best price we've seen for this grill since 2024. Amazon Fish oil is good for your pet's coat and joints. It's a great supplement to add to their meal at any age, and it doesn't get much easier than a liquid meal topper. Reviewers say they noticed improved softness of their pets' coats and that even picky pups seemed to enjoy the taste. Why It's A Good Deal: This matches the best price we've seen for this Native Pet oil in 2025. Amazon This reversible comforter is a great option for warm sleepers. It's made of a high-performance fabric that's cool to the touch and and moisture wicking. The entire blanket is also machine washable and dryer safe for easy maintenance. Why It's A Good Deal: This is one of the best prices we've seen for this cooling blanket since April. Amazon Prime Day is a summer sale that was first introduced in 2015. At its start, Prime Day was a single-day event meant to celebrate the company's 20th anniversary. Over the years, it's expanded into a 48-hour event, but this year it's getting another extension: Amazon Prime Day 2025 will be four days long. Amazon Prime Day 2025 will start at 12:01 p.m. PDT on July 8 and run through 11:59 p.m. PDT on July 11. That said, there are already some early deals worth browsing if you want to get a head start on shopping. Technically, there's only one Prime Day each year. However, for the past three years, Amazon has run a similar savings event in October: Prime Big Deal Days. In recent years, it has also started running annual sales that are open to the general public (not just Prime members) including the Big Spring Sale, Amazon Pet Day and the Summer Beauty Event. Time will tell if Amazon will continue to add to its annual sale schedule. No, Amazon Prime Day isn't a sitewide sale. That said, you can still find hundreds of thousands of discounts across nearly all product categories from brands like Sony, EltaMD and, of course, Amazon itself. Just keep in mind that you have to be a Prime member to take advantage of the deals. The answer to this question largely depends on what you're shopping for. If you're in the market for Amazon devices, tech and small appliances, you'll likely find some great deals over Prime Day. The same goes for beauty and personal care essentials—Amazon has really stepped up its game in these categories over recent years. That said, there will inevitably be plenty of lackluster offers as well. We always recommend checking the price history of an item by using tools like CamelCamelCamel or checking other sites for price comparison before adding it to your cart. Our editors research the price history of every item we feature in our content, so shopping a Forbes Vetted Prime Day deals lists is another way to ensure you're getting a good deal. You can sign up for an Amazon Prime membership at any time. The annual membership costs $139 (after a 30-day free trial). A membership gets you access to the sale as well as a slew of Prime member perks, like access to special offers, free shipping (including same-, one- and two-day shipping options depending on the product and your zip code), Grubhub+, Prime Video services and more. Some users may also qualify for discounted memberships, including students and eligible government assistance recipients. The Forbes Vetted deals team has over a decade of combined experience covering major sale events and holidays, including Amazon Prime Day. The author of this article, Forbes Vetted's assistant deals editor Jordan Thomas, has over five years of experience covering consumer shopping and sales. She has been writing for Forbes Vetted for the past three years, producing daily deals content and tracking prices and product trends all year long. This story was edited by supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone. She has over seven years of experience researching and reporting on deals, and has been leading the Forbes Vetted for over four years.

Eero's speedy Pro 6E mesh system is on sale with a gift card for $200 off
Sluggish Wi-Fi is one of my least favorite tech problems to deal with because it messes with everything: my work, my smart lightbulbs, my online sessions of Mario Kart World. There are many reasons your Wi-Fi may be wonky, but the good news is that you can solve many of them with better routers. One of the best mesh options is the Eero Pro 6E, which is currently available on Amazon in a three-pack — with a $100 Amazon gift card — for an all-time low of $449.99 ($100 off). The Pro 6E has been improved with updates since our 2022 review, which is good because our initial experience was plagued with reliability issues. A pack of three routers can create a network that covers up to 6,000 square feet with support for over 100 connected devices at once without throttling. In terms of speeds, it can reach a maximum wireless data transfer speed of 1.3Gbps. Connect one to your cable modem, then spread the other two around to different parts of your home to create a strong mesh Wi-Fi network that's (hopefully) free from dead zones. Eero's app makes it easy to set the routers up, and will instruct you on the best practices for positioning them. It can also perform automatic security updates in the background when you aren't using your network. Some more ways to save Anker's six-port Desktop Charger is a great gadget for keeping many of your devices topped up at once. The 112W wall charger is $29.99 at Amazon (originally $59.99) and has three USB-C ports plus three USB-A ports. The charger's total output across all of its ports is 112 watts, but its most powerful USB-C PD port can charge devices at up to 30 watts. That's sufficient for phones, tablets, the Nintendo Switch, and smaller laptops. There are some protection measures for your devices, including high-voltage output protection, short-circuit protection, and output temperature control to prevent your gadgets from getting fried while charging. Anker also includes a cable management tool with grooves to hold your cords, which should come in handy if you have six devices connected at once. If you're sick of constantly unplugging accessories from your computer to make room for another, Baseus' 17-in-1 Docking Station is a great, port-filled solution that's discounted right now. On sale for $99.98 ($20 off) at Amazon, the hub features three USB-A 3.0 ports, two USB-A 2.0 ports, four USB-C ports, both full-size and microSD card slots, two HDMI ports, a DisplayPort, an ethernet port, and a headphone jack. Most of the USB ports can only be used for data transferring, not charging, so be mindful of that. However, if your laptop supports USB-C, you can link it to the hub with a single cable to use multiple 4K 60Hz monitors, mount external hard drives, and attach a webcam — among other accessories — thanks to its numerous ports. If you're planning an outdoor movie night this summer, Anker's Nebula Mars 3 has fallen to $779.99 at Amazon and Walmart, which is $270 less than normal and its lowest price so far this year. The 4K projector has a 40W speaker, and can run for up to five hours on battery power. Its 1,000-lumen bulb should be bright enough to project a clear picture when it's in an environment without much light pollution. For the best experience, you can also get a projection screen. The projector's most surprising feature is its IPX3 rating, which means it'll stay safe even when sprayed with water. This means you won't end up with a broken projector if it's exposed to a little rain.

Amazon Prime Day 2025: The best early deals available now, dates and everything else you need to know
Now that we know Amazon Prime Day will be coming up soon on July 8-11, it's time to start thinking about what you may want to snag at a discount during the sale. If you pay the $139 annual fee for Prime, sale events like these are a great time to stock up on essentials and cross things off your wishlist while you can save some money. Most discounts will be exclusively available to Prime subscribers, but there are always a few that anyone shopping on Amazon can grab. Similarly, there are always early deals in the days and weeks leading up to Prime Day, and this year is no different. Here, we've collected the best Prime Day deals you can shop for right now and we'll keep updating this post as we get close to Prime Day proper. Audible Premium Plus (three months) for $3 ($42 off): New subscribers can get three months of Audible for only $3, which represents a $42 discount. The Premium Plus tier gives you one book credit per month to use on any audiobook the service has, and you can stream any of the included titles for free on top of that. Audible also has members-only sales and discounts that you'll be able to take advantage of, too. The deal runs through July 31. Anker 313 wireless charging stand for $14 (29 percent off): One of our top picks for the best wireless chargers, Anker's 313 stand keeps things simple but effective. Just plop your phone down on its wide stand to get up to 10W of fast-charging power. It supports both portrait and landscape orientation for your phone, and it'll work with cases up to 5mm thick. Samsung SmartTag 2 for $18.50 (38 percent off): Samsung users looking to keep track of their stuff need look no further than the SmartTag 2. One of our top picks for the best Bluetooth trackers, this accessory easily attaches to keys, bags and other items and uses Samsung's large finding network to show you their last known location. Anker 633 10K magnetic battery pack for $43 (28 percent off, Prime exclusive): This 10K battery pack attaches magnetically to the backs of iPhones, making it easy to recharge while on the go. It also has a built-in kickstand for easy video watching or FaceTime calling while powering up. Soundcore Space A40 wireless earbuds for $45 (44 percent off): The Space A40 are some of the best budget wireless earbuds you can get right now, thanks to excellent ANC performance for their price, a pleasant sound profile, a comfortable fit and multi-device connectivity. They also have a solid eight-hour battery life, plus an extra 40 with their charging case. Apple AirPods 4 for $99 at Amazon ($30 off): Apple's wireless earbuds don't have the best sound quality or battery life, and this entry-level model lacks wireless charging, Find My tracking and onboard volume controls. But it still gets you tons of Apple-friendly features — from fast pairing with iCloud devices to spatial audio to hands-free Siri — and its lightweight design should fit most ears better than previous AirPods. Apple iPad (A16) for $299 at Amazon ($50 off): The latest base model iPad comes with a faster A16 chip, 2GB more RAM and 128GB of storage as standard. It earned a score of 84 in our review — if you only need an iPad for roaming the internet, watching shows and doing some lighter productivity tasks, it's a good starter tablet. Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M4) for $829 ($170 off): The latest MacBook Air is the top pick in our guide to the best laptops, and it earned a score of 92 in our review. It's another spec bump, but that's not a bad thing — the design remains exceptionally thin, light and well-built, with long battery life and a top-notch keyboard and trackpad. Now it's a bit faster. (Though we'd still love more ports and a refresh rate higher than 60Hz.) Apple Mac Mini M4 for $469 ($130 off): If you prefer desktops, the upgraded M4 Mac mini is one that won't take up too much space, but will provide a ton of power at the same time. Not only does it come with an M4 chipset, but it also includes 16GB of RAM in the base model, plus front-facing USB-C and headphone ports for easier access. Apple Watch Series 10 for $329 ($70 off): We consider Apple's flagship wearable to be the best smartwatch you can buy, period. It's a mostly iterative update, with faster charging, a slightly slimmer design and a marginally larger display than the prior Series 9. That said, it's still a comprehensive fitness tracker, and no other smartwatch can integrate as neatly with iPhones and other Apple devices. Ring Doorbell Battery + Indoor Cam 2 for $70 (50 percent off): If you're looking to build out a security system in your home, this bundle is a good place to start, giving you a video doorbell and an indoor security camera. You'll be able to see both live feeds in the Ring app, and they can send you motion alerts and let you speak to people on the other end of the camera when you're not at home. Anker MagGo 3-in-1 charging station for $82 (25 percent off): A top pick in our guide to the best multi-device wireless chargers, this Anker power station can charge a phone, pair of earbuds and smartwatch all at once. It's primarily built for Apple devices, with a built-in Apple Watch charger and a neat space for AirPods. It's a solid option for frequent travelers thanks to the fact that it folds up to roughly the size of a deck of cards when not in use. Cosori 9-in-1 air fryer for $100 (17 percent off): This is one of our favorite air fryers thanks to its spacious cooking basket, multiple cooking functions and consistent performance. It doesn't take up too much space on a countertop, and its rounded-square design gives you more space in the cooking basket to spread food out for an even better crisp. Blink Outdoor 4 security cameras (five-camera system) for $160 (60 percent off): Get enough security cameras to outfit most of your home with this bundle. The Outdoor 4 cams are some of our favorites; you can use them indoors or outdoors, they supports 1080p video, motion alerts, local video storage when you employ a thumb drive with the Sync Module 2 that comes with the pack and they're totally wireless, running on two AA batteries each. Levoit Core 400S air purifier for $185 ($35 off): Our top pick for the best air purifier, Levoit's Core 400S reliably improved air quality in our testing, plus it has easy to use onboard controls and replaceable filters that are not too expensive. We also found it to not be offensively loud, even on its highest setting. Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 for $200 ($50 off): The latest Powerbeats Pro earbuds have a comfier design and powerful bass performance that's sure to keep you hyped during a workout. These are Apple's first wireless earbuds with built-in heart rate monitoring, too, but that will likely only appeal to those who intend on using these buds primarily while working out. GoPro Hero 13 Black action camera for $329 ($100 off): Our favorite action camera for most people, the Hero 13 Black now works with a family of module lenses, making it even more versatile than models that came before it, plus it has a larger battery that supports longer capture times. On top of that, it has good digital stabilization, a full-color screen and excellent image quality. Eufy E20 3-in-1 robot vacuum for $380 (42 percent off): One of Eufy's latest machines and a top pick of ours for the best robot vacuums, the E20 can putter around your home automatically, sucking up dirt and debris in its path. But then it can quickly transform into a cordless or handheld vacuum, allowing you to clean hard-to-reach spots manually. Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones + $30 Amazon gift card for $448 ($30 off): Sony's newest pair of premium cans just came out not too long ago, and they promptly took the top spot in our best wireless headphones guide. The company managed to improve sound quality and ANC this time around, plus they have an even comfier design and loads of extra features like multi-device connectivity, Speak-to-Chat and more. Prime Day is Amazon's members-only shopping event, which means you'll have to be a Prime subscriber on Prime Day to take advantage of most of the savings. Amazon still offers a 30-day free trial to new Prime subscribers, so you can start your free trial closer to July and participate in the event. Amazon Prime Day 2025 will be back this year on July 8 through July 11. Amazon Prime Day typically comes around annually in July. In the last few years, Amazon has also had its "Big Deal Days" in October, which is effectively a second Prime Day and the unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season. Prime subscribers can go to Amazon's site on Prime Day to see all of the exclusive deals they have access to. Prime subscribers do not have to do anything additional to get Prime Day sales: the discounts you see on product pages will show up in your cart automatically. If you're not a Prime subscriber and you go to Amazon to shop on Prime Day, you'll likely see tons of items on sale but only "with Prime;" those discounts will not be available to those who are not active Prime subscribers. Technically yes, but even if you do not pay for a Prime membership, you should still check out Amazon on Prime Day. While most Prime Day deals will be exclusively available to subscribers, there are always a handful of sales available to all shoppers. Amazon distinguishes between them very clearly: you'll see "Prime exclusive" on product pages near the deal pricing on the discounts that are only available to paying members. Separately, it's very likely that other retailers like Walmart, Target and Best Buy will have their own competing Prime Day sales during that time frame, too. So if you're not keen on shopping at Amazon at all, it's worth checking out other retailers during the week of Prime Day to see if they are matching Prime Day deal prices.
