Amazon Prime Members Can Get the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus for Just $133 Right Now
That gets even better with deals though, and if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can currently get your hands on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ for just $133. That's an excellent price, given that the tablet is normally selling for $220. This deal will only last as long as the stock does though, since it's a clearance deal, so we're not expecting that to be long.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus has 64GB of storage, 4GB of RAM and a large 10.9-inch display, which is a solid offering when you consider the sale price. That midsize display and decent amount of storage are two of the main benefits. The whole thing is powered by Android and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, which is now a few years old but should be fine for basic web tasks and video.

If the 64GB storage limit is a concern, note that it can be expanded up to 1TB via an optional microSD card if required, and that's something that can be found pretty inexpensively. Four speakers with Dolby Atmos support round out the main specs of note, making this a solid movie-watching device.

Why this deal matters
Tablets are a great way to watch content, read books and do a whole lot more, but the best tablets can often be too expensive for many people. You can find cheaper options from less reputable brands, but this one carries the familiar Samsung badge and has plenty to offer at a price you can't afford to ignore. Plus, it's just a few dollars more than the all-time low price, which means it's highly unlikely that a better offer on this model will be popping up any time soon.

UK regulator seeks special status for Apple and Google that could mandate changes for Big Tech
LONDON (AP) — Britain's antitrust watchdog has proposed labeling Google's and Apple's mobile ecosystems with 'strategic market status," which would mandate changes at the Big Tech companies to improve competition. The Competition and Markets Authority's announcement Wednesday follows separate investigations it opened at the start of the year into Google's Android and Apple's iOS, using newly acquired digital market regulations designed to protect consumers and businesses from unfair practices by Big Tech companies. The watchdog said Apple and Google hold an 'effective duopoly," with 90-100% of mobile devices in Britain running on either mobile platform. Its investigation found a range of concerns affecting businesses and consumers such as unpredictable app reviews, inconsistent app store search rankings and commissions on in-app purchases of as much as 30%. The CMA also unveiled separate 'roadmaps' for each company outlining possible measures to improve competition, including a 'fair and transparent' app reviews and app store rankings to give British app developers 'certainty.' Google called the watchdog's decision "disappointing and unwarranted," and said Android has saved app developers money because they didn't have to adapt to different operating models for each smartphone. It's 'crucial that any new regulation is evidence-based, proportionate and does not become a roadblock to growth in the U.K.,' the company's senior director of competition, Oliver Bethell, said. The regulator is seeking feedback on its proposal and has until Oct. 22 to make a final decision.

The Pixel 10 is proof that the iPhone camera strategy isn't working for Google
Google will launch the Pixel 10 series phones on August 20, and we're excited about the standard Pixel 10. Leaked renders show that the base phone could offer a triple rear camera system for the first time, as a telephoto camera joins the main and ultrawide shooters. This is a major strategic shift for the standard Pixel flagship phone. However, this also signals Google's acceptance that it's no longer copying Apple's strategy for base flagship phones. An overdue move for standard Pixel phones Ryan Haines / Android Authority Ever since 2021's Pixel 6, Google has copied Apple by only using two rear cameras on its base phones and restricting the zoom camera to its Pro models. This is at odds with Android kingpin Samsung, which has offered three rear cameras on its base Galaxy S models since the Galaxy S20. Colleague Rob Triggs even noted in his Pixel 9 review that the Galaxy S24 took better zoom shots and was the 'better all-round package' for $800. This is despite Samsung leaning on the same 10MP 3x camera since 2022, further illustrating the importance of zoom camera hardware. Google's strategy is also at odds with flagship Android phones outside the US. Similarly priced phones like the OPPO Find X8, Xiaomi 15, POCO F7 Ultra, and vivo X200 all offer telephoto cameras. Do you want the Pixel 10 to have a zoom camera? 0 votes Yes, absolutely NaN % Yes, if the price stays the same NaN % No, I don't NaN % This long-standing decision to skip the telephoto camera on the base Pixel is particularly outdated when you look at today's mid-range phones. Devices like the OnePlus 13R and Motorola Edge 2025 are available in the US and offer telephoto cameras. Even the Nothing Phone 3a, which retails for $389 in the US as part of a beta program, has a zoom shooter. You can add devices like the HMD Skyline, OPPO Reno 14, and realme 14 Pro Plus to this list in global markets. So bringing a zoom camera to the Pixel 10 is a long-overdue move. It also says a lot that Apple and Google were two of the only major manufacturers resisting the siren call of better camera zoom. Now, about addressing other downgrades Google Google has also followed Apple in nerfing the base phone in other ways. It's only natural that the standard Pixel will lag behind Pro devices in some areas — Pro owners are paying for more features, after all. However, the Pixel 8's initial lack of Gemini Nano and the Pixel 9 missing out on Video Boost feel like unnecessary downgrades. The Pixel 9 doesn't even get Google's Zoom Enhance feature, which is available on the Pro phones. You'd think this AI-based zoom feature would help a phone with no telephoto camera, but here we are. That decision seems emblematic of Google's approach to its standard phone. Apple can get away with an anemic iPhone 16 spec sheet because you can't exactly go to another brand if you want an iPhone. Google doesn't enjoy this privilege, so people looking for a flagship Android phone can always switch to Samsung, OnePlus, Motorola, Xiaomi, and other brands. Nevertheless, I'm glad Google is finally addressing a long-standing weakness by embracing zoom cameras on its cheapest flagship phones. Camera quality has always been one of the biggest reasons to buy a Pixel phone, and this move will help Google stand out from the iPhone 16 and 17. Because whether you like it or not, many people want better camera zoom.
