Has life become a little meh lately? Are you looking for something to make waking up a little more zesty? Does it take way too long to open apps these days? This week, we have a modest proposition: Maybe it's time to buy a new phone.
Senior writer Lauren Goode muses that all of our phones are about to get downright strange and Jeffrey Van Camp plays Fortnite on the Razer Phone 2. If you'd rather stick to something tried-and-true, now is also a great time to pick up a Google Pixel 3 ... not to mention our other 14 favorite deals that we've scrounged up from around the web. There's also a 4-Day Best Buy Sale going on if you want to check it out.

Razer Phone 2 for $650 ($150 off).One of Jeffrey's complaints about the latest gaming phone was that it was too expensive for what you get. Happily, it's now discounted so that you can enjoy its great audio and sharp 120Hz screen. The downside is that its camera is so-so and it feels a bit blocky. Read our full review to learn more. Razer.com has the phone for $700.
Google Pixel 3 for $650 ($150 off). Another great deal on our favorite Android phone. If you're buying an Android phone this year, you should probably get this one. The Verizon version is discounted at Best Buy, as well.
Samsung Galaxy S9 for $620 ($100 off). We also liked the Galaxy S9 quite a bit.
Apple 10.5-inch iPad Pro with Wi-Fi for $500 ($300 off). The 10.5-inch iPad Pro isn't brand new, but it's still worth buying at a price this low. This is the space grey version, with 64 GB of storage. Best Buy has a 256GB version for $250 off through Saturday (at least).
Samsung Notebook 5 for $400 ($200 off). This is a very good price for a stylish, mid-range laptop.
Monster Hunter: World for $20 ($10 off). Not only do you get to hunt the dragons, you also get to make clothes from their skin! The Xbox One version is also discounted.
Dead Cells for $25 ($10 off). Our reviewer Julie Muncy says that this beautiful 2D game is addicting. This version is for Nintendo Switch
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for $25 ($35 off). Ugh, Rabbids. Still an excellent game for the Nintendo Switch.
