If that\u2019s you, you already know that Google is going to officially unveil its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/713081\/google-pixel-10-pro-xl-fold-rumors-specs-price-release-date\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixel 10 phones<\/a> (including a new Fold) during its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/708363\/google-pixel-10-made-by-google-event-date\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 20th event<\/a>. But if you\u2019re someone who prefers to use these opportunities to save on last-gen tech, you\u2019ve been rewarded with a sweet deal on the <strong>Pixel 9 Pro Fold<\/strong>. The base 256GB version in obsidian (black) is down to $1,199 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Google-Pixel-Pro-Fold-Smartphone\/dp\/B0D7V1J2Y1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/google-pixel-9-pro-fold-5g-256gb-unlocked-obsidian\/6587911.p?skuId=6587911\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Buy<\/a>, which is 33 percent off its original $1,799 price.

One of its main drawbacks was that, despite its high original price, you don\u2019t get the same great cameras in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24225221\/google-pixel-9-pro-xl-review-ai-gemini-screen-battery-camera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cheaper Pixel 9 Pro<\/a> (which, by the way, is only $599 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/google-pixel-9-pro-128gb-unlocked-obsidian\/6587887.p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Buy<\/a>). They\u2019re still good, mind you, but reviewer Allison Johnson said during her testing that its telephoto lens produced softer images by comparison, and low-light photos were less detailed. Drawbacks aside, she was eager to recommend the foldable phone at its original $1,800 price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is nearly upon us, and it\u2019ll likely deliver some sizeable improvements. Google itself has already shown off its design <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/758429\/google-pixel-10-pro-fold-video-teaser-leaks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in YouTube clips<\/a>, and it\u2019s very similar to the model on sale now. However, there\u2019s a rumor that it might have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/707353\/google-pixel-10-pro-fold-10-water-dust-resistance-rumor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IP68 rating<\/a>, which would make it dustproof.

One of Sean\u2019s main complaints is the exorbitant $730 price that Lenovo was charging, especially since its specs aren\u2019t all that impressive compared to the Steam Deck, and don\u2019t get us started on the pain of using Windows 11 in handheld mode. However, its recent $300 off price drop at <a href=\"http:\/\/bestbuy.com\/site\/legion-go-s-8-120hz-gaming-handheld-amd-ryzen-z2-go-windowsos-32-gb-with-1-tb-ssd-windows\/6612958.p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Buy<\/a> to $499.99 makes it easier to overlook its faults. This model has AMD\u2019s Ryzen Z2 Go chip, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It\u2019s a decent value now considering that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/reviews\/704903\/lenovo-legion-go-s-steam-os-review-z2-go-z1-extreme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">version with SteamOS instead of Windows 11<\/a> costs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/legion-go-s-8-120hz-gaming-handheld-amd-ryzen-z2-go-steamos-16gb-with-512gb-ssd-steam\/6619192.p?skuId=6619192\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$599.99<\/a>, yet includes half the RAM and storage, though we\u2019d still recommend picking a system with a Z1 Extreme chip. Also, note that Valve told us it doesn\u2019t officially support SteamOS on the Windows model.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re looking for your first \u2014 or next \u2014 Sonos speaker, there aren\u2019t too many deals worth flagging on new units right now. One good refurbished deal has come to the surface, though, and it\u2019s on the <strong>Sonos One SL<\/strong>, which is $119 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellbots.com\/products\/sonos-one-sl-wireless-smart-speaker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wellbots<\/a> for <em>Verge <\/em>readers. Enter the code <strong>SONOSVERGE40 <\/strong>at checkout to knock the price down from $159. This is an appealing deal because it beats the current prices at Sonos\u2019 own refurbished outlet, and because it comes with a one-year warranty through Sonos \u2014 just as new speakers do. The 2019 One SL can be used alone, or synced up with other Sonos Wi-Fi speakers through the company\u2019s app. It lacks a microphone, so you can\u2019t bark voice commands at it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/circuitbreaker\/2017\/10\/18\/16490866\/sonos-one-speaker-review-alexa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our Sonos One review<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Those who own a 4K Blu-ray player, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Panasonic-Blu-ray-Log-Gamma-Playback-Streaming\/dp\/B07YD3PXQP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Panasonic DP-UB420-K<\/a>, can add more flicks to their library of discs on the cheap over at <a href=\"https:\/\/gruv.com\/collections\/crazy-days-4k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gruv<\/a>.
