Holding the OnePlus 10T in front of a green plant.

The OnePlus 10T may have been replaced by the OnePlus 11 as the brand's flagship smartphone, but it's still a worthwhile purchase, especially with a $170 discount for this year's Prime Day phone deals. From its original price of $700, you'll only have to pay $530 for the OnePlus 10T, which is a steal considering all the features that come with it.

Walmart is trying to steal the attention of gamers from Amazon's Prime Day deals with this offer for the Microsoft Xbox Series S with an extra wireless controller. For Walmart+ Week, the bundle is available for just $290, following a 19% discount on its original price of $360. That's $70 in savings that you can spend on more video games and accessories, but you'll need to push through with the purchase right now if you want it because there's a chance that stocks don't last until the end of the day.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Xbox Series S with extra wireless controller
Microsoft's lineup of current-generation consoles consists of the Xbox Series X and its less powerful but cheaper brother, the Xbox Series S. In our Xbox Series X versus Xbox Series S comparison, while the Xbox Series X is the winner due to its superior hardware and the presence of a disc drive, you'll want to go for the Xbox Series S if you want a console that's smaller, with a more elegant design compared to the towering presence of the Xbox Series X. Additionally, going for the cheaper Xbox Series S won't prevent you from playing all of the best Xbox Series X games -- in fact, you can also play the best Xbox One games, as well as some titles from the Xbox 360 and Xbox, due to Microsoft's focus on backward compatibility.
