Sony savings: This 8 out of 10 Sony Bravia X90L is $250 off
Sometimes, the best time to buy a premium TV is two years after it first hit shelves. Brands like Sony are constantly introducing new models, so there's always a chance you'll be able to score a great deal on an older set. And such is the case today with the awesome Sony 65-inch Bravia X90L 4K LED, a 2023 TV that you'll be able to purchase at Amazon, Best Buy, or directly through Sony for just $950! The full MSRP on this model is still $1,300.
We tested this Sony LED back in August 2023, and editor at large Caleb Denison called the X90L 'A surprising treat of a TV.'

While the Sony X90L lacks the mini-LED backlighting of more advanced Sony models, the traditional full-array performance is quite remarkable. The X90L gets plenty bright when watching SDR content, making it a good choice for a brightly lit room. Sony's Cognitive Processor XR does an excellent job of enhancing and upscaling every frame of the movies and shows you love, so you'll always be treated to the richest colors and contrast, as well as the best motion clarity.
The X90L has a native 120Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 connectivity on ports 3 and 4. Add in the fact that the TV supports VRR and ALLM, and you've got yourself one stunning LED-LCD for console and PC gaming! You'll even get special treatment when hooking up a PS5, thanks to Sony-exclusive optimizations like Auto Genre Picture Mode and Auto HDR Tone Mapping. On top of the X90L's fast response time and low input lag, the TV also has terrific HDR support, checking the box on every standard except for HDR10+.
Apps, casting, and smart home controls are made possible by the TV's built-in Google TV OS, your one-stop shop for all things UI and internet-connected. Order the Sony 65-inch Bravia X90L 4K LED while it has a $250 discount, because we're not sure when it's going to be this cheap again.

Nothing's Headphone (1) Is Something Impressive
As someone who has been openly critical of Nothing's claims that it will revolutionize the technology world, I happen to actually love the brand's products. From the excellent Ear (a)—among our favorite cheap earbuds—to its affordable smartphones, the brand leverages excellent design and near-top-tier internals to absolutely dominate the mid-tier of the tech market. The Headphone (1) noise-canceling over-ears, I am happy to say, continue this tradition. They look as good (or better) than more expensive models from Sony, Apple, and Bose, and they offer nearly all the same features, for hundreds of dollars less. That, plus a very usable set of controls, excellent passive noise isolation, and an easy-to-use app make these among the best headphones you can buy for $300 or less. Fresh Faced Photograph: Parker Hall Where other Nothing headphones directly steal their design cues from posher Apple models, the new Headphone (1) is clearly its own thing. The rounded rectangles come with clear outer ear cups that showcase a bass chamber inside the headphones, with a red dot on the right ear cup so you'll never put them on backwards. They look like something a Stormtrooper would wear in their bunk between patrols, but for some reason they don't make me feel like a total weirdo in public. The white-and-silver colorway of my review unit is flashy, but I imagine if you got them in the also available black-and-gunmetal version, you'd barely get a second glance. One thing you won't feel until you put the headphones on is how excellent the controls are. They come with a rolly, clicky wheel on the upper part of the right ear cup and a flicky switch below that. This allows you to adjust volume and play and pause music, as well as to go back and forth between tracks. You can even hold the switch right or left to fast-forward or rewind—very nice when skipping ads during podcasts. Physical controls are so much better than touch controls in nearly all instances, and these are some of the best and most intuitive controls ever designed. On the bottom of the right ear cup you'll find the on-off switch (red when off, also very helpful), a 3.5-mm cable port, and the USB-C port for charging. These headphones offer a Sony-, Bose-, and Apple-beating 35 hours of battery life, which is great when on long trips. Outside on the right, there is a button that allows you to use your voice assistant (or call up Nothing's AI if you have a Nothing phone), but I like that this button is hidden where I've never accidentally bumped it—an annoyance on competitors. Getting a Head Photograph: Parker Hall You'll notice that the headphones feel very secure on your head, thanks to an L-shaped metal bar that attaches the ear cups to the headband from the very outside. This allows for more even pressure distribution from the synthetic leather and memory foam of the earpads. They're firm, but comfortable enough for long listening sessions. The only downside? Though the pads are technically removable, Nothing currently has no plans to sell replacements. Hopefully that will change.

iPhone 17 Pro could get three massive camera upgrades — what we know
Enormous changes could be coming to the iPhone 17 Pro's camera system, according to a tip sent to MacRumors. The details in question apparently came from someone involved in making an advertisement for the iPhone 17 Pro, showing off several new camera features. First up, the iPhone 17 Pro will apparently offer up to 8x optical zoom. Currently, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max offer 5x telephoto zoom cameras. And if that wasn't enough, the iPhone 17 Pro's lens will be movable, to allow for continuous optical zoom below the 8x maximum. Most rival phones like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra or Pixel 9 Pro have up to 5x zoom, so going up to 8x would put the new iPhones firmly in the lead. As for moveable zoom, this is something we've only seen on a handful of phones, like Sony's Xperia 1 series. If that wasn't enough of a hardware upgrade, then the next part of the rumor is that Apple will also be adding a second Camera Control button. This apparently lives on the top edge of the iPhone 17 Pro, and lets users access the camera and camera settings. This isn't a replacement for the one added to the right side of the iPhone 16 series, so presumably has at least some separate functions. Lastly, the leak says Apple will also add a new pro camera app, either in the form of a vastly updated Final Cut Camera app or a fully original one. Final Cut Camera doesn't come pre-installed on iPhones, like some other phones with pro camera apps do, but perhaps Apple will want to put this new app front-and-center if it's going to be a big focus for this year's launch. As a bonus, the leaker explains that the iPhone 17 Pro will come in a "copper-like" color, and has a repositioned Apple logo on its back. This is presumably to account for the alleged enlarged camera block we've seen in renders and dummy images. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It's not often we at TG are taken aback by a smartphone rumor, but this one has succeeded. A new app, increased camera zoom and a new physical control button is a huge number of changes to make in a single year. In fact, it's so much of an upgrade, it raises our suspicions quite a bit. One should always be skeptical of rumors, but this one makes several big claims that we've not heard about before now. Previous rumors have told us about the telephoto camera being upgraded to 48MP, to match the other two rear cameras, and that Apple going to focus on video recording for this year's iPhone launch. But while you could interpret those as supporting evidence of what this leak claims, there's not a direct link between increasing a camera's resolution or a video-first launch and what we've been told. We'll keep our ears to the ground in case there are more rumors that back this up. If you want to know about more alleged features for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max or brand-new iPhone 17 Air, our rumor hubs are the place to go. But if only confirmed official details will do, you'll have to wait with the rest of us for the usual iPhone launch period of early September.

This Brand-New TCL QLED Has the World's Slimmest Bezels
The main way to tell how old a TV is? Look at the bezels. Until about 10 years ago, they were thick picture frames, but they've slowly gotten smaller and smaller as the models turned over. With its new QM8K QLED, TCL has removed them entirely. Innovations in panel design mean that this blindingly bright screen looks like it's floating in space on its pedestal mount. It's a classy party trick that makes it easy to hide on the wall with images or artwork on it, and it improves the viewing angle to boot. This flagship model costs a pretty penny more than TCL's other value-first options, but that's for good reason: It competes directly with more expensive mini LED models from Samsung and Sony, and the great viewing angle and brightness even give high-end OLED models a run for their money. If you want a good picture and great apps for less, you can get it with a more affordable Hisense or TCL model, but if you want a great picture, this is the most affordable way to get it this year. Out of the Box Photograph: Parker Hall The experience of setting up the QM8K is basically the same as with any other TV. The QM8K comes in a large cardboard box surrounded by foam, and you'll want two people to pull it out, put it on a soft surface like a bed or table with a blanket, and install the included pedestal mount. It comes with a power cable and backlit (!) remote, but you'll need to supply your own HDMI cables if you want to connect anything to any of its four ports (two HDMI 2.1, two HDMI 2.0). I always love a TV with a pedestal mount, and this mount is sturdy and easy to attach. It also allows you to tilt the TV. Likewise, the included Google TV interface is extremely easy to use, with QR-based logins for essentially every modern streaming app, and speedy swaps between apps (something I had an issue with on last year's TCL models). The TV supports Chromecast and Airplay 2, which makes casting music and YouTube clips super easy for folks who are visiting and on your Wi-Fi. The TV has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 support, and it was more than capable of keeping up with 4K streaming on my mesh network at home. It has Ethernet as well, should you want to hard-wire in for the fastest speeds. No Bezels Photograph: Parker Hall The lack of bezels isn't immediately noticeable if you're not looking for it, but once you see that the brushed gunmetal frame of the TV now immediately transitions to screen after just 3.2 millimeters—rather than having a 10 mm-ish black rim—every comparable model seems old and tired. The gorgeous crystal WHVA panel is capable of up to 3,040 local dimming zones (depending on the size of TV you buy), which makes for a stunning image, and the lack of frame makes it look like the picture is hovering in space.
