Apple and Samsung may be at the forefront of the rivalry for the high-end market of smartphones but there seems to be much more going on in the midrange division. Needless to say, there are more than a few players after the budget crown, but Motorola’s G series still sits on the pedestal. While the features on the latest flagship model seem temptingly alluring, there are cost-saving alternatives that could suit the same purpose of staying connected. Get the most bang for your buck as Amazon gives the

midrange champion, the Moto G7

a 17% price cut so you can crap the $300 price tag and pay only $250. You also stand a chance to get another $50 slashed after being approved for an Amazon Rewards Visa card.

Motorola’s G7 boasts quality on a budget. The Moto G7 made a move toward a larger screen real estate with a 6.2-inch IPS LCD and a tear-drop notch to maximize its Full HD+ Max Vision Display. With a resolution of 2,270 x 1,080, for 403 pixels per inch, clarity appears to be good enough and it generally makes for a comfortable viewing experience. The G7 certainly flaunts a more premium design with an all-glass exterior fitted into a metal frame while the fingerprint sensor hides in plain sight as it is one and the same as the M logo sitting below the signature round camera module.

Motorola’s G7 has a 12-megapixel main camera that is complemented with a 5-megapixel camera for depth and an 8-megapixel selfie camera. You’ll definitely be able to capture priceless moments, landscapes, or close-ups in the right conditions as it struggles with low light. It does try to make up for its shortcomings with a variety of shooting modes, effects, and AR stickers that can be applied to enhance or make your photos a lot more fun.

The Moto G7 steps up from the G6 with a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor on 4GB of RAM. It may not be the best at multitasking but it does try to make up for it as navigation is almost seamless while apps fire up pretty quick, too. It runs on Android 9.0 Pie and comes with a bunch of Moto Actions that act as shortcuts as well as a number of display options that let you interact with your notifications from the lock screen. Unlike some flagship models, you’ll be glad to see the headphone jack in place along with a MicroSD slot which allows you to expand your 64GB internal storage up to 512GB.

The

Moto G7 packs an acceptable 3,000mAh battery

that can get you through most of the day. It adopts a more future-proof USB-C charging port and it surely juices up fast as you can go from zero to about 80% within an hour. A great smartphone for those with tight pockets who don’t want to skimp on good performance and an equitably big display. Snag one for yourself for only $250 on Amazon.

We gave this TV a perfect 10 — Walmart just cut its price by $500

Even though OLED TVs have been around for a while, their pricing makes them very much a luxury purchase, but luckily, pricing has been coming down a lot recently. If you're thinking of upgrading to one, then we'd very strongly recommend the Sony BRAVIA XR A95L, which we gave a perfect score of 10 out of 10. Even better, there is a considerable $500 discount from Walmart that brings the total price down to $2,899 from $3,400, and while that's still quite pricey, it's well worth it for one of the best TVs on the market when it comes to QD-OLED technology.

Why you should buy the Sony 65-inch BRAVIA XR A95L QD-OLED 4K TV
When our editor at large, Caleb Denison, got his hands on the Sony BRAVIA XR A95L, he said, "This TV is just next-level amazing. The A95L doesn’t just deliver the wow — it delivers the whoa." That's for a good reason too, since it manages to hit all the big checkmarks pretty well, such as an excellent picture quality that includes high color purity and saturation levels, as well as overall great brightness. It's also great for gamers as it has a pretty low input gaming mode, as well as a base refresh rate of 120Hz.

If you’re a gamer who’s been searching for a faster CPU that doesn’t cost more than a few hundred bucks, now is the perfect time to score  during Prime Big Deal Days. This rapid processor is going viral on TikTok, thanks to clock speeds up to 5.4 GHz to eliminate lag in games that don’t use multiple cores.

For games that do use several cores, the 7700X comes with eight cores and 16 threads. By spreading the processing load across so many cores and threads, the 7700X avoids getting bogged down by overloading a single core.
