The South Korean technology giant attributed its downbeat earnings guidance partly to its one-off cost to recognize inventory value losses stemming from U.S. curbs on advanced-chip exports to China.

Trump Vows No Tariff Extension, Hardens Stance on Copper
Good morning. Trump isn't budging on his tariff timeline. Samsung's Unpacked event in New York loses some sizzle amid leaks. And a Chinese kindergarten provided food that left over 200 students with 'abnormal' levels of lead in their bodies. Listen to the day's top stories. Donald Trump isn't backing down. When it comes to tariffs on countries, the president is holding his ground on the Aug. 1 deadline as nations scramble to reach trade deals. He also ramped up his sectoral attacks, slapping a 50% levy on imports of copper, sending futures prices soaring. Industries including semiconductors also face charges, though drugmakers may get at least a year before a 200% fee on foreign-made products is implemented.

My favorite Prime Day deals that are at least 50% off — save big on Samsung, iRobot, Ring and more
It's no secret that Prime Day is one of the best times of the year to save big — and so far, this year's savings event is no exception. We're already seeing discounts of 50% off and more on everything from smart home devices and TVs to vacuums and kitchen appliances. For instance, you can get a Ring Battery Doorbell with Ring Indoor Cam 2nd Gen for $69 (was $139). If you're in the market for a new TV, we have an amazing deal for you. The Samsung 55" Frame TV is sporting a 52% discount bringing it down to $797. Plus, the new iRobot Roomba Plus 405 is now $400 off for Prime Day. To help you get the absolute best bang for your buck, I've decided to roundup the best deals that are at least half off for Prime Day. Keep scrolling to check them out. Add a smart bulb to your home for just $9 thanks to this deal. If you own other smart devices, you can connect this bulb via Alexa or Google Home. If not, you can control the bulb fully via the Kasa Smart app. You can set timers, routines, and adjust brightness levels — perfect for movie nights. Bring Alexa into your car with the Amazon Echo Auto. In our Amazon Echo Auto review, we called it a much more refined version of its predecessor. We also liked the new design, improved microphones, and roadside assistance. Keep your hands safe from the heat while cooking and handling hot pans and dishes with these oven mitts. They are heat resistant up to 500 degrees, waterproof and slip-resistant. Thanks to their silicone material, they can be easily cleaned and rinsed off with water. If you're willing to live without active noise-cancellation, these Soundcore by Anker P20i buds are fantastic value for money. Offering 10mm drivers for impressive "big" bass, along with Bluetooth 5.3, 30-hour battery life, water-resistance, 22 preset EQs and in-app customisation, which is great for this price. The Blink Mini 2 is Blink's new indoor and outdoor security camera. It's weatherproof and comes with several useful features like color night vision, person detection and an easy-to-use companion app. We noted in our Blink Mini 2 review that it didn't have the best sound quality, but if you want a cheap security camera with Alexa integration, you can't go wrong here. This 2-in-1 styling tool combines a hair dryer and round brush, featuring three heat settings, ceramic coating for heat protection, and ionic technology for frizz control. The oval design with mixed bristles detangles while styling, creating volume at roots and smooth ends in one pass. I've never had a home blow-out look this good. The Blink Outdoor is a fully wireless home security camera that records video in 1080p, lets you store video locally (or in the cloud) and has a two-year battery life. The Editor's Choice camera holds a spot in our list of the best home security cameras. Nothing adds outdoor ambiance like a killer playlist and the very best solar lights. This outdoor-rated pack is built with shatterproof plastic bulbs that are currently 54% off at Amazon. Plug them in when the sun sets and enjoy 27 feet-worth and up to six full hours of a soft, white glow. Perfect to use on its own or pair with the duvet cover mentioned above, this 100% polyester-filled comforter offers the perfect amount of warmth and comfort for all seasons. It features eight tabs on each corner and side so you can easily match it with a duvet cover and ensure it stays in place. The new Fire TV Stick 4K (2023) sports an upgraded 1.7GHz quad-core processor that's 30% more powerful than the previous model. It also offers Wi-Fi 6 support and a Live TV guide button. Other features include Dolby Vision/HDR10/HDR10+/HLG support on the video front and Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby Atmos support on the audio side. In our Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (2nd gen) review we called it a good streaming option, especially when on sale. Knock a nice 50% off this Pan-Tilt camera, designed specifically for pet owners. With a 169° tilt and 360° pan angles, you can monitor every nook and cranny of your home when you're away. The Instant Pot Duo Plus has 9 cooking settings, including pressure cook and sous vide. I made everything from one-pot pastas, to soups, to cake when I was testing this multi-cooker. It's one of the easiest Instant Pots to use, and best for beginners. If you've got a controller for your Xbox Series X|S and want to spruce up your setup with an aesthetic yet powerful charging dock, this deal from Razer is too good to pass up. It's capable of fully charging your controller in under 3 hours, and the dock is compatible with all old-school and new-gen Xbox controllers. With active noise canceling on board, for this incredibly low price, you're not going to find much better than the Echo Buds. They're small, comfortable, and sound pretty good to boot — and there's also a massive discount applied right now to pull you in. This bundle gets you a Blink Outdoor 4 Camera and a Blink Floodlight Mount for just $59. The wireless setup runs entirely on battery so it can be placed on virtually any surface without existing floodlight wiring. It's perfect for use in dark areas like on a shed or the side of your home. Did you know Instant Pot makes more than just pressure cookers? This 4-quart air fryer can broil, roast, dehydrate, bake, reheat, and of course, air fry food — all in one convenient machine. It features a large, intuitive touch display, and you can instantly access over 100 recipes via the Instant Pot app to help you get started. The Fire HD 8 Kids Pro is also heavily discounted to $69 for slightly older kids who want a bit more from their tablet. With an all-time low price, this deal is not to be missed for the tablet with a larger screen and more power than the Fire 7. The Ring Battery Doorbell can be easily installed to watch your front door, while the Indoor Cam can be set up in less than ten minutes to view the interior of your home and give you a 1080p HD view complete with motion detection and a privacy cover. Though the Indoor Cam does require a power outlet, it also provides two way audio and noise cancellation and has a wide field of view. The Fire HD 10 offers a good-looking 10-inch screen that's perfect for watching movies and videos thanks to its 1080p display. We called the tablet a "white-hot deal" in our Fire HD 10 review at the $139 price. At $69, it's a deal not to be missed. This smart range comes with four cleaning modes and three intensities, including clean, white+, gum health and DeepClean+ Care. In addition, it's Bluetooth enabled via the Sonicare app to provide real-time, progress reports on your brushing regime. What's more, BrushSync Technology lets you know when it's time to replace your brush head — which is always handy. With 50% off, this is a deal worth snapping up. The Beats Solo 4 might not feature noise canceling, but they make up for it by sounding pretty good. They're comfortable as well thanks to Beats new foam, and they fold up super small so that they can fit into any bag. There's also loads of battery life — 50 hours, to be exact. We've never seen them cheaper than this so grab them while you can. The Keurig K-Elite Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker is one of Keurig's most popular machines. In our K-Elite review, it scored 4.5 stars and used to sit at the top of our buying guide due to its speedy brew times and handy brew-ahead setting, which allows you to schedule the machine ahead of time. At under $99, it's an outstanding saving at 47% off. Amazon's digital assistant is invading new territory: Your face. These smart glasses make your life easier by letting you complete tasks hands-free. You can ask for the latest news, weather, or have them play music via their built-in speakers. They also work with Siri and Google Assistant. In our Amazon Echo Frames 3rd gen review, we said they're Amazon's best glasses to date injecting some much-needed style into the smart glasses category, while improving audio quality and boosting battery life. If you have pets and after incredible power, this is a great deal. Recommended for all floor types, it also has a low profile design to reach under low spaces. It comes with an XL dust cup to handle all your debris and handy LED headlights to make cleaning easier. It also promises 40-minute battery life. And with its 23% discount, this is a great price. The Beats Studio Pro are specifically designed to bring back that thumping bass Beats is known for. They offer improved active noise cancelation and boosted battery life (up to 40 hours with ANC turned off). There's also Spatial Audio support and Beats' signature strong brand look. However, our Beats Studio Pro review found the clamping force high, which may affect comfort levels for some wearers. Having a reliable set of luggage is a must on your next trip. And whether you're checking a bag, bringing a carry-on or both, this set of expandable luggage will get the job done. It includes a spinner and carry-on and will be your trusty travel sidekicks. The luggage is extremely light, has a durable shell and the double spinner wheels allow you to roll the suitcase easily. With a 50% discount, this makes this Shark robot vacuum a steal. With impressive suction power, this can easily pick up dirt, debris and pet hair on all floor types. It also has tons of features like Matrix Clean, precision mapping, AI voice control and a 60-day self-emptying capacity. A Roomba for 50% off? Sign me up! Not only is the iRobot Roomba Plus 405 a vacuum, it also happens to be a mop. It devours messes from crumbs to pawprints with 70x more suction than previous Roomba models. It also has an auto washing dock and 75 days of auto emptying. Samsung's The Frame comes highly regarded as both a valiant display and chic art piece. It uses a 60Hz refresh rate on a anti-reflective matte display for the quality picture performance that could pass for art museum décor. Samsung's art gallery is packed with a wide range of paintings and assorted art for you to enjoy, and it's made all the better under $1,000 this Prime Day.
