Welcome back to the daily tech circus, where your bank account’s greatest enemy is our relentless pursuit of a good bargain. Today’s lineup features folding phones that cost less than a small used sedan, streaming sticks slashed to pocket-change prices, and a nostalgic trip to Hyrule that won’t require a second mortgage.
Folding Futures and Ultra Savings
Let’s address the elephant in the room: buying a brand-new flagship phone usually requires taking out a permit for a personal loan. Thankfully, Samsung is feeling generous this week. You can currently slice up to $580 off the futuristic Galaxy Z Fold 8—perfect for anyone who wants a tablet in their pocket and doesn’t mind living on instant ramen for a fortnight to pay for it.
If folding screens give you existential dread, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is also stepping up to the plate with a very respectable $420 price drop. It is a massive slab of titanium and glass that shoots photos so sharp they might cut your retinas, minus the usual sting to your credit score. Sure, I’m generally the kind of tech snob who quietly judges Android users while secretly crying into my collection of three different iPhones, but even I have to admit these deals are spicy.
Stream Hard, Spend Less
Moving away from pocket computers that cost as much as a European vacation, Amazon has decided to practically give away its hardware. The new Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is currently sitting at a lovely 50% off, bringing it down to a cool $30. At this price point, you spend more money on a mediocre Friday night pizza, which means you can finally stream your favorite shows in crisp 4K without feeling financially irresponsible.
Nostalgia Hits Different
To round things out, we are seeing a delightfully rare discount on the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake release. It’s the kind of timeless classic that reminds us why we fell in love with video games in the first place—back when plumbers were saving princesses and we didn’t have to worry about software updates or subscription models.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go justify why I definitely “need” a folding phone, despite my drawers already being full of more gadgets than a bad James Bond movie.
