ZTE Blade 10 and Blade 10 Prime

The Blade 10 and the Blade 10 Prime are essentially the same phone, just for different carriers. The Blade 10 Prime is specifically for the Verizon-owned Visible, while the standard Blade 10 is available unlocked and works on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.

The phones are relatively high-powered. Under the hood, you’ll get a MediaTek P60 octa-core processor, with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. In other words, it may not be the most powerful device around, but it should be able to handle most things that most users throw at it. Powering it all is a 3,200mAh battery, which isn’t huge, but again, should get you through a day of use.

On the front of the device, you’ll get a 6.3-inch display with a Full HD resolution and a small teardrop notch, which houses a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera. On the back, there’s a 16-megapixel and 5-megapixel, dual rear-facing camera. The Blade 10 and Blade 10 Prime comes at $180.

ZTE Blade A7 Prime

The ZTE Blade A7 Prime will be available exclusively on Visible’s network, and offers a few similar features compared to the Blade 10 and Blade 10 Prime. The device offers 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, along with a 3,200mAh battery, like the other phone. On the back, there’s a 16-megapixel, rear-facing camera and on the front you’ll get a 5-megapixel, front-facing camera. The device has a 6.09-inch HD display, and it ships with Android 9 Pie — though we’re not holding up hope for upgrades to Android 10. The processor on offer is the MediaTek Helio A22, and the device will be available for $100.

The ZTE Blade 10, Blade 10 Prime, and Blade A7 Prime are now available for purchase, with the Blade 10 Prime and Blade A7 Prime available exclusively from Visible. You can head to the Visible website to get them for yourself.

I record interviews for work. These are my favorite free recorder apps

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far
Two Galaxy Z Fold 5 phones next to each other -- one is open and one is closed.

Samsung’s next-generation foldable is here with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. This iteration has some notable improvements, including a new hinge design that eliminates the gap from previous generations when the device was folded. You also get a 6.2-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the outside while having a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with both screens having a 120Hz refresh rate. In other words, they're about as nice as you could ask for.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is made with premium materials, and the triple-lens camera system packs in a 50MP main shooter, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover, and a 4MP camera on the inner display. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip inside for the best performance and power efficiency.

Google Pixel Tablet just got its first big discount and it’s worth a look
Google Pixel Tablet on its charging dock.

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen these days, with offerings from all the great brands including Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and more. So, if you really want to stand out in a sea of similar tech, you need to do things a little differently. That's what Google's Pixel Tablet offers. How? It comes with a unique speaker dock that can be used to both charge the device and offer room-filling sound -- almost like a smart speaker add-on. Better yet, when your Pixel Tablet is docked it benefits from the Hub Mode, turning the device into a smart display, with digital photo frame support, smart home controls, and hands-free Google functionality. Of course, it could set you back at full price, normally $499 unless you find it included in a roundup of the best Google Pixel deals. Well, guess what? Thanks to a Best Buy Google Pixel Tablet deal, you can get it today for $439 and save $60. Hurry, though, it's part of Best Buy's recent 48-hour sale so it won't stick around for long.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
Okay, okay, so in our Google Pixel Tablet review, Joe Maring did give it less than stellar remarks, but he called out its reliable fingerprint sensor, comfortability during use and excellent speaker dock. Honestly, how many tablets come with a matching speaker dock that transforms the entire experience? This tablet also marks a "lot of firsts" for Google, as it's the first tablet from the company in nearly five years, the first Android tablet in eight years, and can be converted into a smart home display with the speaker dock. All of which are notable milestones.
