The new HMD Touch 4G — only available in India for now, and unlikely to ever come to the US — splits the difference between smartphones and feature phones, offering a touchscreen and video calling, but with the small size (and price) of feature phones.It doesn’t run on Android, instead using a custom OS called RTOS Touch. That means no Android apps — instead, you can access Cloud Phone Service, essentially a platform for basic HMD browser apps. You do get smartphone messaging options like group chats and video calls, but only in a specific app called Express Chat —…

Smartwatches from big brands like Apple, Google, and Garmin may get all the attention when it comes to wearables, but they’re not the only ones worth considering if you’re in the market for a capable fitness tracker. Amazfit’s Active 2 is a fantastic option if you’re working with a tight budget, and it’s one that touts a surprising amount of features for the price. And right now, it’s on sale at Amazon as a part of Prime Big Deal Days for $80.74 ($19 off), which is 75 cents away from matching its lowest-ever price.The Active 2 is one of the…

Samsung’s biggest, most powerful tablet to date is here. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will almost surely be laying claim to the best tablet crown – but to do so it needs to dethrone the mighty iPad Pro M4. Apple’s stellar slate is the current go-to for many people wanting to ditch their laptop for something portable yet equally powerful. With the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra in for testing and Apple’s most potent iPad Pro having been in regular use here at Stuff since it launched, now’s a great time to see how the two stack up on paper. Price:…

I never thought I’d get genuinely excited about a toothbrush deal, but here we are. Suri (which stands for Sustainable Rituals) has somehow managed to make brushing your teeth feel like a small act of climate activism. The Suri 1.0 Sonic Electric Toothbrush is now down to $76 from $95 in the US, and £76 from £95 in the UK for Amazon Big Deal Days. It’s easy to overlook how wasteful oral care can be. Billions of plastic toothbrushes end up in landfill every year, and most electric versions aren’t much better – sealed batteries, plastic bodies, zero repair options.…

Mozilla is introducing profiles to its Firefox web browser that make it easier to separate and organize your online activity. The profile management update will roll out starting October 14th, allowing Firefox users to create specific browsing spaces that house bookmarks, logins, history, extensions, and themes.Firefox already supports multi-account containers, an extension that organizes browsing history, cookies, and tracking information into dedicated tabs to keep your digital footprint more private. Profiles allow users to organize more browser features, however, making it easier to create separate experiences for work, projects, and personal browsing.Like account containers, each Firefox profile keeps its own…

Nothing’s Ear 3 buds remind me more than anything else of the Ear 1, the company’s first product. Not because the design is similar (though it is) or because the sound is similar (it’s gotten a fair bit better, in fact). No, I’m reminded of the Ear 1 because both sets of earbuds share a sense of invention, of boundaries pushed with mixed results.In the Ear 1, that was the result of a new company making its first products, building earbuds that looked unlike anything else on the market but that suffered from hardware faults and software bugs at launch.…

I’m a big fan of the 1More Sonoflow. These over-ear noise cancelling headphones are a wallet-friendly alternative to spendy models like the Sony XM5 and Sennheiser Momentum 4. They’re even more wallet-friendly during Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Days sale, with the price slashed to £77. The Sonoflow was a great deal at the original retail price. On Amazon US, the SonoFlow Pro headphones are down to $70 for the latest Prime Sale – that’s down from $88. UK customers can save on the Pro model which has been discounted by 15% from £91 to £77. It’s not the biggest saving,…

Touchscreen controls have to be the clumsiest way to play hectic first person shooters and 3D action games on smartphones or tablets, and downright useless when trying to stream a PC or console title from the cloud. Backbone’s controller range has long been one of my favourite ways to add physical buttons and joysticks to a phone, and right now the entire 2nd Gen range is 30% off for Prime Day. In the UK, each Backbone controller usually retails for £100, but can be had right now for £70. This matches last year’s Black Friday discount price and the discount…

We’re now in the second and final day of Amazon’s October Prime Day sale. That means it’s time to squeeze as much value out of your Prime subscription as you can until Thursday at 3AM ET / 12AM PT, which is when several deals will enter a brief hibernation ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Although we’ve turned the page on a new day, many of the deals below will likely be familiar to those who were shopping yesterday. That’s a good thing, especially if you were taking the night to mull over a big purchase, or perhaps a…
