Black Friday deals 2023: Get record-low prices on tech from Apple, Samsung, Google and others

Joystiq

Joystiq News
Black Friday 2023 is finally here, and if you're just getting around to your holiday shopping, there are a ton of great deals to be had across the internet. Black Friday may still technically be one day, but we've been seeing solid early Black Friday deals throughout the entirety of November. Thankfully, many of them are still around today and they've joined a new crop of deals that have popped up for the post-Thanksgiving shopping event. We at Engadget care most about consumer electronics, and Black Friday (along with Cyber Monday) typically brings the best prices on the best tech that you'll be able to find all year. This year is no exception. Here are the best Black Friday deals you can get this year on laptops, tablets, headphones, smartwatches, robot vacuums and much more.

Best Black Friday Apple deals​

Apple AirTags​



A four-pack of

have dropped to $80, which is just about $5 more than the pack’s record-low price. If you’re unfamiliar, AirTags are small
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
that you can keep in your bag or luggage or attach to items like your keys so you can keep track of their location. The only catch is that these only work with Apple devices as their host device, so Android users will have to pick a tracker from another brand to get similar benefits. AirTags connect to Apple’s Find My network, so you can see where your stuff is in that app and even force the gadgets to ring so you can more easily find your belongings (if you’re within close proximity).

Apple Watch Series 9​



The new

has dropped to $329 at Amazon,
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
and
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
in a Black Friday deal. That’s $70 off its usual price and the lowest we’ve seen since it debuted in September. That’s the price you’ll pay for the 41mm model, but the 45mm models are now down to $359 with the same $70 discount. The Series 9 took the crown of the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
you can get right now in our guide thanks to its new S9 SiP that brings slightly speedier performance and on-device Siri processing, the new Double Tap feature and other improvements.

Apple Watch SE​



The
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
has dropped to a record low of $179 for Black Friday, which is $70 off its usual price. It may not have all of the advanced health tracking features of the Series 9, but the SE has all of the basics you’d want in a smartwatch, including smart notifications, all-day activity tracking and perks like Fall and Crash Detection and Emergency SOS. If you’re looking for a good entry-point into the Apple Watch space, or a gift for someone who has never worn a smartwatch before, the Apple Watch SE is a great option.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)​



The latest version of
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is back on sale for $190 at Amazon and
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
. That matches an all-time low and comes in $60 below the pair's usual going rate. The AirPods Pro are the "best for iOS" pick in our
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
thanks to their easy pairing and deep integration with Apple devices. Effective active noise cancellation (ANC), a superb transparency mode and a pleasingly warm sound profile help as well, as does a
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
that can adjust the earphones' noise control settings based on your surroundings. That said, their battery life is just average at six-ish hours per charge, and you really have to use an iPhone to get anything out of them.

We gave the Lightning-based version of the second-generation AirPods Pro a

last year; this new iteration is almost identical, only it comes with a

and has a higher IP54 dust-resistance rating. If you don't care about the updated charging port, note that the older Lightning version is on sale for

Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)​



The third-gen
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
are back down to $140 at Amazon and
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, matching the lowest price we've seen. Typically, the wireless earbuds have retailed between $10 and $20 higher over the past few months. We gave these AirPods a
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
back in 2021: You can get better-sounding and more featured earbuds for much less, but if you're an iPhone owner who hates the feeling of traditional in-ear headphones, it might suit you well. It has a mostly balanced sound despite its unsealed design, and it gets the usual AirPods conveniences like hands-free Siri, Find My device tracking and quick pairing with other Apple gadgets. Just don't expect much in the way of deep bass or noise cancellation, as is the case with all earbuds with an "open" design.

Apple iPad (9th-gen)​



Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is down to a new low of $230 at Amazon and
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
. This is the budget pick in our
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, and it earned a
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
in 2021. It's the last iPad to use Apple's old design language, so it has thick bezels, a Lightning port, a Home button and a non-laminated display. This variant also comes with a paltry 64GB of storage. At this price, though, it's hard to do better if all you want is a large screen for streaming video, playing games and browsing the web. If you need more storage space, the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is also down to a low of $380.

Apple iPad Air​



The
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is back down to a record low of $500 right now ahead of Black Friday. All color options are discounted. The Air is still the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
at the moment, although we expect to see a fresh lineup with the latest M-series processor debut early next year. However, if you want a new iPad immediately, the Air offers speedy performance, good battery life, a slim design and Apple Pencil 2 support.

Apple iPad (10th gen)​



The
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is down to its lowest price ever at Amazon and
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
. The 64GB model is just $349 for Black Friday in all four colors. That's $100 off and $30 less than the previous low. We gave the revamped standard iPad an

Compared to the 9th-gen model, the new version ditches the Home button and comes with a larger, 10.9-inch display. The front-facing camera is now on the landscape edge, which is much more convenient for video calls, though the tablet (for some reason) still only works with the first generation Apple Pencil.

Best Black Friday home deals​

TP-Link Kasa Smart Plug Mini​



The smart plug we

for most homes is
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
. A four-pack is on sale for $35 which is about $3 more than it sold for during Amazon's October Prime day sale, :but still a decent $15 savings. Plugs like these are a simple way to add some smart capabilities to any home, letting you turn on lights with just your voice, set automated schedules and routines that are triggered by other activities. These would make a great stocking stuffer for anyone you know who's curious about smart home connectivity but hasn't yet taken the plunge.

Dyson Airwrap​



The coveted
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is down to the cheapest price we’ve ever seen, just $480 when you clip the $20 coupon on Amazon’s product page. This hair tool uses the Coanda effect to keep air flowing around its barrel, helping you style your hair more easily. It also maintains a safe temperature for hair, resulting in less damage overall. You’re getting a number of accessories with this Airwrap bundle as well, including two differently sized barrels, separate brushes for soft or firm smoothing, a Coanda smoothing dryer and more.

with two beacons is $100 off and down to a record low of $200. This is our
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, and the two-pack should cover up to 5,500 square feet with stable connectivity. When we tested the three-pack, we were impressed by how well the system balances power with user friendliness. Its network is reliable and fast, and its companion app is easy to use and clearly shows you things like all of the devices connected to your network, current speeds and more.

Sonos Black Friday sale​



Sonos has kicked off
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
for the year, bringing a range of discounts on smart speakers and home theater gear. The deals include the flagship
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
soundbar down to $719, which is a $180 discount. The mid-range
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
and the more basic

are also on sale for $399 and $223, respectively; that's a $100 drop for the former and a $56 drop for the latter. All three devices are recommendations in our guide to the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
. In other home theater deals, the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
subwoofer is $160 off at $639, while the more compact

Elsewhere, the

portable speaker is down to $134 from its usual $179, while the

for more details on what to expect from those devices. We like Sonos speakers for delivering relatively clean and balanced sound and a straightforward app that lets you connect to numerous music services. Their main appeal, however, is their ability to link up with the company's other devices in one connected audio system. Deals on any Sonos gear are fairly uncommon, so this is a good chance to save if you're looking to build out your own system. Sonos says this sale will run through November 27.

Google Nest Thermostat​



Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is on sale for $90 right now, which is $40 off and close to a record low. It’s a pared-down version of the Nest Learning Thermostat, but it has plenty of smart features and should help you save on energy costs over time. This model is Energy Star-certified and will automatically turn temperatures down in your home when you leave the house, and you can adjust heating and cooling schedules from your phone.

Amazon Echo Dot + TP-Link smart light bulb bundle​



Almost the entirety of
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is on sale for Black Friday, with most bundled alongside a TP-Link Kasa smart bulb for no extra cost. The offers include the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
back at an all-time low of $23, the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
for $35 (a $25 discount), the standard

Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
for $155 and the entry-level
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
back at its Prime Day price of $18.

Of those, the Echo Dot and base Echo are likely your best bets — the former is the "best under $50" recommendation in our
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, while the latter is our "best under $100" pick. The
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is still decent if you want better audio quality, though it's harder to recommend when the Sonos Era 100 is also on sale, while the Echo Pop is essentially a weaker-sounding Echo Dot for only a few bucks less. But if you're building a smart home around Alexa, each device offers similar functionality.

Amazon Echo Show 5 + TP-Link smart light bulb bundle



Most of
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
smart displays are also discounted. The recently updated
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, for one, is on sale for a new low of $105, while the smaller 5.5-inch
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is back down to an all-time low of $40. Those two typically retail for $150 and $70, respectively. Again, both devices come bundled with a free LED smart bulb. You can also get an

for $65.

The Echo Show 8 is the top Alexa pick in our guide to the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
; compared to the Echo Show 5, it packs a better screen, richer speakers and a much sharper camera for video calls. But if you want something closer to a smart alarm clock for your nightstand, the smaller display still delivers most of the same Alexa smarts. If you want a larger panel, the rotating 10.1-inch Echo Show 10 is $90 off at $160 as well. We gave that one a
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
back in 2021, though our review found the Echo Show 8 to be a better value for most.

Google Nest Hub​



If you're partial to the Google Assistant,
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is also on sale for $50 at
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
and
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
. That's $10 higher than its all-time low but still $50 off Google's list price. The Nest Hub is the top overall pick in our smart display buying guide, and we gave it a
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
back in 2021. It has a 7-inch screen, so it's a bit bigger than the Echo Show 5 but should still be compact enough to fit neatly in a bedroom or small office. While it lacks a built-in camera, that may be a selling point for those who especially sensitive to their privacy (though no smart display is truly privacy-conscious). If you want a larger model with a webcam and stronger speakers, the 10-inch
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is also on sale for $129.

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro​



Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is 29 percent off and down to $320 for Black Friday. That’s the best price we’ve seen since the start of this year on one of our
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
. This Breville machine is much more than an air fryer, though — it has 13 cooking functions and a capacity that can handle a full turkey, so it’s more like a mini convection oven that sits on your countertop. It’s best for people who love to cook and have big families, or those who maybe don’t have a traditional oven and want a versatile (and relatively small) appliance for their kitchen.

Ooni Black Friday deals​



Ooni Black Friday deals include some of the lowest prices we've seen on the company's pizza ovens and accessories. The 12-inch Fyra is on sale for $244 right now, which is more than $100 off its normal price. It earned a spot on our
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
thanks to its compact profile and the fact that it runs on wood pellets instead of chunks, making it easier to refill and you'll spend less time tending to its fire overall. Ooni's handy

Solo Stove Black Friday deal​



Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
have knocked up to $245 off fire pit bundles, up to $100 off fire pits by themselves and even more. A standout is the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, which is $145 off and down to $320. It includes the company’s most compact fire pit along with its accompanying shield, stand, lid and shelter. Everything you’d need for an easy setup right out of the box is included in this bundle, and the 2.0-version of the Ranger includes a removable base plate and ash pan, both of which make the fire pit much easier to clean.

Best Black Friday Xbox deals​

Xbox Wireless Controller​



If you need a spare gamepad for your Xbox, official
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
are as low as $40 at Microsoft. As with the DualSense deal above, this discount applies to various colors. Typically, we see the gamepad retail between $50 and $60 depending on the colorway. The Series X/S controller doesn't have the DualSense's advanced haptics and requires AA batteries for power by default — we recommend grabbing a
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
— but some will always find its shape and asymmetrical joysticks more comfortable. It's also simpler to set up and use on PC.

Xbox Series X​



The
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is down to $439 from Walmart. The console itself has a list price of $500 and the game is typically listed between $40 and $70, so this is like getting a $60 discount on the console plus a free copy of the

(though the first month is often just $1 for new members).

Best Black Friday subscription deals​

Hulu Black Friday deal​



Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is a great one for anyone who has not subscribed to the ad-supported tier yet. You’ll get one year of the service for only $12, which comes out to just $1 per month. That’s 85 percent off the standard monthly price and a great deal if you’ve been wanting to see what all the hype is about for shows like The Bear and Only Murders in the Building. The deal is available to new subscribers, and returning subscribers who have not been paying for Hulu for at least one month.

Peacock Black Friday deal​



Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
has discounted its monthly and annual subscription plans for Black Friday. You can access the services starting at $2 per month for the first year, instead of the usual $6 monthly price, with the code BIGDEAL. If you'd rather pay upfront for one year of access, you'll spend only $20 with the code YEARLONG. The sale runs from November 22-27, and the offer excludes current Peacock Premium and Premium Plus subscribers. In addition to classic movies and new reality TV shows, Peacock has a smattering of live sports offerings that include Sunday Night Football, Big Ten Football and Premier League.

ProtonVPN Black Friday deal​



Our favorite
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
,
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, is having a rare sale for Black Friday that brings a monthly subscription down to only $4 for a total of 30 months. That means you’ll pay $120 for two and a half years of access, which is a pretty good deal. ProtonVPN passed our tests with high marks, but what made it stand out among other VPN security services was its independently audited no-logs policy, and the fact that the company has proven they don't comply with law enforcement requests to reveal data. If you want to jump in head-first with Proton services, the company has discounted
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, which includes access to VPN, Mail, Calendar, Drive and Pass, to just under $9 per month for the first year.

Google Pixel 8 Pro​



Google’s latest flagship smartphones are up to $200 off for Black Friday, including the

Fitbit Charge 6​



Fitbit’s newest fitness tracker, the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, is $60 off right now and down to a record low of $100. It’s the follow-up to one of our favorite fitness trackers, the Fitbit Charge 5, and it brings back the physical side button that previous generations had and integrates even more with Google services. It has an AMOLED touchscreen that displays all of your activity stats and smart notifications, a built-in GPS for mapping outdoor workouts, a week-long battery life and the ability to display turn-by-turn directions on its screen from Google Maps.

and others. Though this isn't an all-time low, it's about $70 off Sony's list price and $20 lower than the headphones' usual recurring sale price. The XM5 is the top recommendation in our guide to the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, as it offers a comfortable design, powerful ANC, crisp call quality and 30 or so hours of battery life. It also comes with a number of useful bonus features such as "Speak to Chat," which automatically pauses your music when you start talking to somebody else. By default, its bass-heavy sound plays well with hip-hop and EDM, though you can easily customize the EQ curve through Sony's app. We gave the XM5 a

,
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
and other retailers. Several other retailers have it for $2 more. Normally, these noise-canceling earphones go for $300. Like the over-ear XM5, this in-ear model delivers excellent ANC (with strong passive isolation), loads of helpful features and a warm sound that's fun out of the box but can be customized if needed. Battery life is decent at seven or eight hours per charge and, notably, the design is lighter, smaller and altogether more comfortable than past Sony earbuds. The WF-1000XM5 earned a

The

is down to $54 for Black Friday, matching the lowest price we’ve seen. This is the top pick in our guide to the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
: It’s comfortable, it supports wireless charging and multi-device pairing, it can last up to 10 hours a charge and its ANC is remarkably effective for a sub-$100 pair. Its bassy sound should please most by default, but it can also be customized through a clean companion app. The only big negatives are its middling call quality and lack of wear detection.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II​



The
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
are down to $199, which is the same as they went for for October Prime Day. During that sale you needed to be a Prime member to save, but now anyone can take advantage of the discount. They retail for $299, but have sold for $279 for the past few months, so this is still an $80 discount. We think they're

you can buy for noise cancelation, as they do a great job of blocking out the world. They also have a smaller, more comfortable fit than the previous generation and offer good audio quality.

Best Black Friday vacuum deals​

Dyson Black Friday deals​



Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
include a $200 discount on the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, bringing the cordless vacuum down to $550. It’s hard to tell if this is a record-low price, but considering the standard V15 Detect is going for between $650 and $750 across the internet, we consider this to be a good deal. In addition to its strong cleaning power, the V15 Detect has a laser-powered optic cleaner head that illuminates the floor before you as you’re cleaning so you can see dust and grime more clearly. It also has a piezo sensor, which sizes and counts dust particles as you clean and shows you that information on its LCD display.

Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop​



Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is $300 off and down to its lowest price yet. It’s one of our favorite robot vacuums and a solid combo machine that will vacuum and mop for you, provided you change out its dustbin and water reservoir depending on the type of cleaning job you want it to do. It supports obstacle avoidance and home mapping, plus it comes with a self-emptying base that the machine utilizes during vacuuming jobs. The base is also bagless, so you do not have to worry about purchasing proprietary garbage bags for it over time.

Best Black Friday TV deals​

Samsung The Frame QLED TV​



The

is 35 percent off and down to a new record low of $978 at Amazon.
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
itself has it for a couple bucks more. Other size options are also discounted. The Frame has been super popular thanks to its

, which mimics framed artwork when not in use. It has a matte, anti-reflective display and an included slim wall mount so you can get the true “artwork” effect when you hang it on the wall. As an actual TV, it supports 4K content and Quantum Dot technology, plus it runs on Samsung’s Tizen TV operating system.

Meta Quest 2 VR headset​




The

is $50 off and down to $249 at several retailers. That matches the best price we’ve seen. At
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
and Amazon, you can get the device with a $50 gift card as well. Despite the launch of the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, we still consider the Quest 2 to be one of the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
available right now — precisely because of its more affordable price. It’s still the best way to jump into VR without spending a ton of money, and the Quest 2 has the perks of being completely cordless and comfortable to wear for long sessions. The hardware includes fast-switching LCDs with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, and it comes with Meta’s sold motion controllers.

Chromecast with Google TV​



Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is down to a new low of $38 for Black Friday, while the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is only $20 for the shopping event. Key to both of these devices are the remotes that come with them that make navigating the revamped UI of Android TV much easier than in years past. The home screen will personalize recommendations for you based on your watch history, and its algorithm-based recommendations come in handy as well — plus, they're pulling from services you're already subscribed to, so you won't be tempted by movies or shows that you don't have access to. The 4K model is one of our
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
thanks to all of those perks in addition to its support for Dolby Vision.

Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite​



Amazon’s most affordable

is down to $16 for Black Friday, which is only $1 more than its record-low price. You’ll find decent discounts across most of the Fire TV lineup right now — including a $20 discount on the new
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
— and this model is the cheapest of the bunch. It supports HD video as well as most major streaming services, plus it comes with a pared-down version of the Alexa voice remote. If you want the most powerful dongle that Amazon makes with support for 4K HDR content and Wi-Fi 6, you’ll have to spend $40 for the new Fire TV 4K Max.

Best Black Friday laptop deals​

Microsoft Surface Pro 9​



A configuration of

with an Intel Core i5-1235U processor, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and Microsoft's Surface Pro Keyboard is on sale for $1,000 at Best Buy. That's $540 off Microsoft's list price. If you don't need the keyboard, a variant with a faster Core i7-1255U chip is down to a new low of $1,097 at

and other retailers. That's roughly $200 off the config's usual street price. Another

with 512GB of storage is on sale for $300 more.

In any event, the Surface Pro 9 tops our guide to the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
. While its 12th-gen chip is

two generations old, this is still the device to get if you want the functionality of a laptop in the slim, touch-enabled design of a tablet. We're past the point of the year when Microsoft would normally announce a refresh, but the current model should still be useful if you're coming from an older Surface Pro that's in desperate need of an upgrade.

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus​



Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is on sale for $379 at Best Buy, which is $120 off its list price. This is the most recent version of the top pick in our
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
: Its 14-inch, 1,920 x 1,200 IPS touchscreen is good for the money, it's plenty fast for the kind of web browsing and light work you'd do with Chrome OS and both its keyboard and trackpad are comfortable. This model comes with a Core i3-1315U processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of eMMC storage, one USB-A port, two USB-C 3.2 ports and a microSD card slot. It also has a decent 1080p webcam. The chassis isn't especially light at 3.6 pounds, and we found the battery to last roughly seven hours in testing, which is just OK. But for less than $400, this is a strong value for those who just want an affordable notebook for the basics.

Samsung T9 SSD​



The latest

is on sale for $110 right now for a 1TB drive, which is the best price it’s been since it came out last month. You can snag this Black Friday deal from Amazon or
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
directly. The T9 is the newest iteration of Samsung’s popular portable drive that we’ve long been fans of, and it supports read and write speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s. It also has dynamic thermal guard to prevent overheating, plus it comes with a USB-C to C and USB-C to A cords so you can use it with a variety of devices.

Samsung microSD card sale​



If you need a new microSD card for your Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck or GoPro, a trio of Samsung microSD cards we recommend are also down their lowest prices to date. The 128GB version of the

Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is on sale for a new low of $15 and the 256GB
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
is available for $25.

The Pro Plus is the top overall pick in our
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, as it consistently ranked among the fastest cards we tested despite its relatively affordable price tag. The Pro Ultimate offers faster read speeds, so it could be worth the step up if you often move files between your card and a computer. The Evo Select is our "best value" pick: It's slower than the other two, but it's cheaper, and its losses won't be hugely noticeable in devices that can't take advantage of the extra performance such as the Switch. Each card comes with a 10-year warranty.

Additional Black Friday deals​

Amazon Kindle​



Amazon's standard
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
has dropped to $80 for Black Friday, which is $20 off its normal price and close to a record low. It's only been cheaper this year during July Prime Day, when it dropped to $65. Even at its normal price, it's the
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
available right now, so this Black Friday deal makes it even more compelling. It has a 300ppi display with an adjustable front light, 16GB of storage for holding thousands of titles and a USB-C charging port. But as with most ereaders, you likely won't have to charge this one often as it as a weeks-long battery life.

DJI Osmo Action 3 Creator Combo​



As part of a

and liked the excellent video quality, and found it to be on par with GoPro's Hero 10. The the magnetic clip mount and long-lasting, fast-charging battery are also reasons to buy.
