The LG 55-inch OLED evo AI C6 4K Smart TV is now available for $999.99 on Amazon. This price marks the lowest cost recorded for the display since its launch earlier this year. The reduction amounts to a $1,000 discount from the original launch price. Buyers can also find discounts on the larger 65-inch and 77-inch models. Some retailers are offering free controllers or prepaid cards with the purchase of these larger sets.
Google hardware is seeing significant price cuts across multiple categories. The Pixel Watch 5 is currently $100 off at Amazon for the Olive model with a Satin Pyrite case. Best Buy offers the Polished Silver version in excellent open-box condition for $150 less. The 41mm LTE variant is also discounted. Amazon lists the Satin Pyrite model at $399.99. This is the lowest recorded cost for that specific configuration. It is $20 cheaper than the recent fall Prime Day sale price.
Foldable smartphone prices have reached their best levels to date. Best Buy has the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold 256GB Obsidian model in excellent open-box condition for $1,480.99. This price is nearly $420 below the standard list price. These units offer a lower entry point for consumers interested in Google's latest foldable technology.

Tablet and laptop deals are also prominent in this week's sales. The Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 has dropped to an all-time low of $256.49. This model features 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The price requires a specific promo code at checkout. It represents a 36% reduction from the regular $400 price. The device includes a 12.1-inch 2.5K display and a nine-speaker JBL audio system. A higher-capacity 256GB version is available on Amazon for $269.99. Additionally, the Lenovo Chromebook Plus is 40% off at Best Buy for $379. This 15.3-inch 2-in-1 device features a touchscreen and runs on an Intel N355 processor.
Smart home and streaming devices are seeing notable price reductions as well. Amazon is offering the new Ring 2K smart doorbells for $44.99. This is a drop of up to 55% from regular list prices. Both wired and battery-powered versions are available at this rate. The price is just five dollars more than the lowest ever recorded for these devices. The Ring Peephole Cam 2K is discounted to $60, down from its $100 regular price. The new Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is back at its all-time low of $29.99. This model carries a 50% discount from its $60 list price. It features a slimmer design and a direct power option that allows it to run from a TV's USB port.
Charging accessories are also part of the current deals. The Anker Prime 25W 3-in-1 foldable MagSafe charger is available for $99.73. The Anker Nano 10-in-1 Smart Display Hub is discounted to $79.99. This hub offers dual-monitor support and a built-in display for port status. The timing of these television and hardware discounts coincides with the upcoming releases of major video games.
