Today’s best deals: Google Pixel 6a, Apple MacBooks, 4K TVs, and more | Tech Reddy

Another week, another tech marketing conference. Today’s Dealmaster features a new all-time low ($998, $1,500) on Samsung’s art-inspired “Framework” 4K TV. This TV has a unique party trick where it can display popular graphics on the screen when it’s not in use, lending itself to a higher quality decoration than the usual black square. It’s also a decent 4K TV and priced competitively at this discount and 55-inch size.

Reviews from some of our trusted publications show the Frame as an above-average offering in terms of performance, so if the artwork appeals to you then you shouldn’t be disappointed anywhere else. However, if you’re looking for one of the best in its class (a class very similar to the Frame, too), LG’s C2 is also on sale ($1,597, $1,797) and scores higher than the Framework.

Speaking of best-in-class, the Pixel 6a also sees a price drop to $299 ($380), making one of the most (if not i most) feature phones that are the best value for your smartphone. We recently reviewed the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, and while we found them to be the best Android phones available, they’re not much of an improvement over the Pixel 6 range. The Pixel 7a is yet to be announced but will arrive in mid-2023 and offer similar improvements over the 6a . For that reason, we’d feel comfortable picking up the Pixel 6a for $299 and knowing we’d be getting a “mid-range juggernaut,” as our own Ron Amadeo put it in his review.

Elsewhere on the web, we have discounts on a few Beats headphones that match their lowest prices ever, Google smart speakers and displays, a few of our favorite video games, and much more. Check out the full list of weekly sales below.
