The weekend’s best deals: OnePlus 11 gift card, Amazon tablets, and much more.

It’s time for another end-of-the-week Dealmaster. In this week’s roundup of the web’s best tech deals, we have a $100 gift card offer for preordering the just-announced OnePlus 11 smartphone, record lows on Google Pixels, and a handful of Amazon tablets and e-readers matching their own record low prices.

The OnePlus 11, based on specs alone is a serious bargain. It outclasses the latest base model Samsung Galaxy S23 on the spec sheet at the same price, matching closer to the $1,200 Galaxy S23 Ultra. (Both of those phones are also on sale for preorder from Amazon with a free $100 gift card incentive, just like the OnePlus 11.) The OnePlus 11 totes a 6.7-inch screen, 5,000 mAh battery, a 50 MP main camera, and Wi-Fi 7 support.

It also has the fastest charging apparatus available for smartphones in the U.S., with an 80-watt charger that juices the phone from zero to 100 in a zippy 30 minutes. It’s not a perfect spec sheet though, and we’ve yet to try one, but some compromises to note are a lack of wireless charging and IP64 water and dust resistance (meant mostly to protect from splashes) versus the industry standard IP68 which protects against submersion. OnePlus 11s will also receive security updates every other month, as opposed to monthly like on Google Pixels, for instance.

The Pixel 7 lineup is also on sale for record-low prices, starting at $399 for the Pixel 7. The Pixels may be the best value you can get in an Android phone currently and offer a cleaner OS, with more frequent security updates. They’re also well-regarded for their capable cameras and snappy performance.
Elsewhere around the web, we have deals on the latest Amazon Kindle ($75, $100), Kindle Paperwhite Kids ($110, $155), and Fire HD tablets ($60, $100). You can also still grab solid deals on the latest iPad ($399, $450) and iPad Air ($499, $599) if you need a more robust tablet experience.
