As of May 27, you can get the Samsung 98-inch Class Neo QLED 4K Smart TV for $8,997.99 at Amazon, down from $14,997.99. Yes, $9K is still an astronomical amount of money to spend on a TV, but that's a 40% discount — or $6,000 in savings.

The 2025 QN90F runs on Samsung's NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, which uses 128 neural networks to automatically upscale older, non-4K content. (So you can watch the goodies like The Golden Girls, The Nanny, and whatever other nostalgic TV shows you like in HD.) The screen also has a glare-free coating designed to block out reflections from nearby windows and lamps.

And if you plan to hook up a console, the TV has you covered there, too. It supports tear-free VRR gaming at up to 4K 165Hz.

Memorial Day sales are over but the DJI Mic Mini is still sitting at a record-low price

The calendar for summer content creation is getting full. If you've been managing with recording audio on your phone, it might be time for an upgrade. Before you start your next recording session, check out this deal.

As of May 27, the DJI Mic Mini (2 transmitters, one receiver) is on sale at Amazon for $79, marked down from the standard price of $99. That's a 20% discount that saves $20 on the recording bundle. This sale price also matches the record low at Amazon.

Spend just a few minutes on YouTube, TikTok, or even Instagram, and you'll spot the DJI Mic Mini. It looks like almost every creator is using the DJI Mic Mini, and there's good reason. Mashable Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard reviewed the DJI Mic Mini and mentioned it's one of the best upgrades a content creator can buy.

When testing near a busy street on a windy day, Allard found the Mic Mini to have impressive performance. "With and without the noise-cancelling feature, the mic picked up my voice while barely picking up the sound of wind — birds and car engines were lost in many cases," she wrote. Mashable also used the DJI during VidCon when conducting interviews in a loud setting. The DJI had no issues recording crisp and clear audio.

For today's sale price of $79, you get an entire mic bundle that includes one DJI receiver, two transmitters, the DJI Mic Mini charging case, four windscreens, two magnetic mic clips, a carrying pouch, and more.

If you have content creation plans this summer and need a mic upgrade, consider the record-low price on the DJI Mic Mini. For under $80, you'll be able to upgrade to an industry favorite that excels in performance and ease of use.

If you're spending time out and about ahead of summer and listening to your favorite songs, a new pair of earbuds may be in order. There are plenty of options out there, thankfully. You just need to pick a pair that's right for you. We'd like to suggest going with Apple AirPods, which aren't just comfortable and great-sounding: you can also save $30 on them right now if you go with the AirPods 4 right now at Amazon.

As of May 27, get the Apple AirPods 4 for $99 at Amazon, down from their usual price of $129. That's $30 off and a discount of 23%.

SEE ALSO: I've tested dozens of earbuds. I like these 3 AirPods alternatives.

The AirPods 4 are all about great sound and comfort while listening. They've been revamped from their prior iteration, and they're perfect for long listening sessions, calls, or just catching up on podcasts. With the Apple H2 chip, they're great with audio, but also excellent for sound as well thanks to voice isolation, spatial audio with head tracking, and advanced computational audio that isolates your voice while cutting background noise.

They're also compatible with Siri on iOS, and work in an interesting way: just nod your head yes or shake your head no to reply to Siri and interact with the voice assistant. They'll also pair just with you putting your AirPods 4 near your phone. With up to 5 hours of listening time and 30 hours total thanks to their battery case, you get plenty of time to jam out as well.

If you're ready to choose a new pair of earbuds and save some cash while you're at it, this is definitely a model you can go with right now. Just be sure to get them before they sell out.

The 15-inch M5 MacBook Air, the best MacBook for most people, is the cheapest its ever been

Mashable - Wed, 05/27/2026 - 10:25

SAVE $200: As of May 27, the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is on sale at Amazon for just $1,099.99. That's 15% or $200 off its list price and its lowest price on record.

The 13-inch Apple M5 MacBook Air dipped below $900 for the first time for Memorial Day (and is still holding strong). While I highly recommend grabbing that deal while it's still around, there's one reason you might want to pass: the 15-inch model is on sale for just $1,099.99. They're both nearly perfect machines, but "most folks will make good use of the larger screen on the 15-inch M5 MacBook Air," writes Mashable's resident laptop expert Haley Henschel.

As of May 27, you can grab the 15-inch MacBook Air with the M5 chip, 16GB RAM, and 512GB of solid-state storage for only $1,099.99. That's 15% or $200 off its list price and — just like the 13-inch model — its lowest price to date.

Mashable named the larger M5 Air the "best MacBook for most people." Besides a couple of extra inches of screen real estate, it also packs two more speakers and two more GPU cores than the 13-inch option. Otherwise, they're exactly the same, with the M5 chip's wildly impressive performance and speed, sizable base storage, and support for WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 6 technology.

If you're rocking an M3 or M4 MacBook Air, the M5 might be a hard sell. It's not all that different from the M4 Air, with the same vivid Liquid Retina display, 12MP Center Stage webcam, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, 18-hour battery life, sleek all-aluminum build, and spectacular speakers. "By boosting its performance even further...the Air is now too powerful for its own good," writes Mashable Tech Editor Tim Werth.

The one complaint about the M5 Air in Werth's review was that he wishes it was $200 cheaper. Well, wish granted. Grab the 15-inch MacBook Air while it's down to $1,099.99 post-Memorial Day.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma trailer: Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Andersons meta slasher is coming

Mashable - Wed, 05/27/2026 - 10:24

Writer/director Jane Schoenbrun has been shaking up horror with such critically heralded indies as We're All Going to the World's Fair and I Saw The TV Glow. Now MUBI, the distributor that brought The Substance to the U.S., has teamed with Schoenbrun for their next offering, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.

After scoring rave reviews out of its Cannes Film Festival debut, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma reveals its first trailer, giving audiences a taste of what had critics giddy.

SEE ALSO: 2026 Summer movie preview: Every film you need to know about now

Hacks' Hannah Einbinder stars as Kris, a queer filmmaker determined to relaunch the long and maligned slasher franchise, Camp Miasma. To get it right, Kris believes she must get the film series' original Final Girl (Gillian Anderson) on board. But little could she know how meeting this hero would go. From the looks of this trailer, their meeting of the minds not only resurrects the movie's possibilities but also its slasher, known as Little Death.

Opposite Einbinder and Anderson is a cast that includes Amanda Fix, Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, Zach Cherry, Sarah Sherman, Patrick Fischler, Dylan Baker, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Quintessa Swindell, Kevin McDonald, and Jack Haven.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma will open in theaters on Aug. 7.

A24s Primetime trailer teases Phoebe Bridgers acting debut

Mashable - Wed, 05/27/2026 - 09:00

It's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment but Pheobe Bridgers' feature film acting debut is teased in the trailer for Primetime. Honestly, you can't stop multi-talented musicians making their way into Hollywood.

In the latest A24 unsettler, the Grammy-winning artist joins a talented cast including Robert Pattinson, Merritt Wever, and Skyler Gisondo. Pattinson plays investigative journalist and TV presenter Chris Hansen, who famously hosted the controversial Dateline series To Catch a Predator in the mid-2000s.

Directed by Lance Oppenheim, Primetime draws inspiration from Hansen's mission to make the notorious NBC show, which has a complicated legacy — Jimmy Kimmel once referred to it as "Punk'd for pedophiles." Hansen's team deployed hidden surveillance and undercover reporting to expose — and assist in arresting — men soliciting sex with minors in online chatrooms. It was true crime on primetime TV, with Hansen's decoy actors and production team working with police and online watchdog group Perverted Justice to confront accused sexual predators as the cameras rolled. And the ratings were through the roof.

It's not clear who Bridgers will play yet, however, with the talent of this cast and the complex notoriety of the show it's channelling combined, we're absolutely in.

Primetime will hit cinemas autumn 2026.

I highly recommend Sonys new PS-LX3BT turntable for beginners — its on sale for its lowest-ever price

Mashable - Wed, 05/27/2026 - 08:32

SAVE $51.99: As of May 27, the new Sony PS-LX3BT Bluetooth turntable is on sale for $348 at Amazon (normally $399.99). That's a 13% savings and its best price ever.

$399.99 Save $51.99   Get Deal

After testing Sony's updated PS-LX3BT turntable earlier this spring, I can confirm it's still one of the best record players for beginners.

It sounds great, it's super easy to set up, and its Bluetooth connectivity and automatic operation are both very convenient. To quote my review: Having come from a regular manual turntable, "It made me feel so spoiled that I was genuinely bummed to ship it back at the end of my testing period."

The PS-LX3BT also has a USB-B port that lets you rip vinyl tracks onto a laptop — a pretty nifty feature. (If you managed to snag the new Charli xcx singles on vinyl, you can use it to digitize those exclusive B-sides.)

One of the only things I didn't love about the PS-LX3BT was its price. It retails for $399.99, which is significantly more than the competition, so I'd try to find it on sale for less. Right now, it happens to be on sale for its lowest price ever: Amazon has it marked down to $348, or roughly $52 off. Best Buy and Sony also have it on sale with free shipping, but for a buck or two more.

The only other thing I dinged the PS-LX3BT for was having a heavy tracking force of 3.5 grams. You generally want it to be between one to three grams to minimize wear and tear on your records. If that concerns you, Sony's higher-end PS-LX5BT turntable has a removable cartridge with a tracking force of just two grams.

The PS-LX5BT is even more expensive, but it's also on sale right now. Amazon's discounted price of $473 (or about $27 off) also beats competing deals at Best Buy and Sony by a teensy bit.

Googles AI Overview still cant spell, and the internet is very aware of it

Mashable - Wed, 05/27/2026 - 07:34

Google AI Overviews hallucinated more than Ken Kesey when it first launched in 2024, fabricating facts about drizzling "glue on pizza," among other offences.

And though the Gemini-powered technology has improved its accuracy dramatically over the last two years (unfortunately for publishers), AI Overviews still gets basic questions wrong. And that includes spelling tests.

SEE ALSO: Google AI Overviews sparks antitrust probe for using publisher content

Google's AI tools remain abysmal at answering questions about spelling, having gone viral two years ago for responding to the question "how many r's are in the word strawberry?" incorrectly. But it's still bad. On Tuesday, X user Naomi Rohatyn tested the large language model's (LLM) current ability to answer to a spelling question.

"How many e's in the word astronomical?" they asked.

"There are exactly 2 'e's in the word "astronomical" (a-s-t-r-e-n-o-m-i-c-a-e-l)," replied AI Overview.

We tried it ourselves, getting the same answer.

Uh, wrong. Credit: Google / Mashable

It appears to work for any word with four or more syllables:

Nope. Credit: Google / Mashable Incorrect. Credit: Google / Mashable

Suffice to say, people are having another gleeful round of testing the technology's spelling weakness, sharing their findings on social media.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Why can't Google AI Overviews spell correctly?

I don't want to be all Billy Madison spelling bee about this, but considering users are less likely to click on links when an AI summary appears in the results, surely the information provided in AI Overviews should be accurate. But it's complicated.

AI chatbots need exact context and specifics to answer as well as they can, so surely spelling words within their training data seems easy. However, things get knotty when you ask an LLM to consider words letter-by-letter, as the model will process text in chunks rather than individual characters (it's called tokenisation).

I thought I'd ask Google's Gemini itself, to see what it had to say for itself. Defend your poor spelling!

"The short answer is that I don't look at or write text the way you do," Gemini told me. "When you write the word 'apple,' your brain processes five distinct letters. When I read or write text, I see the word as a single unit called a token (a numerical representation of a word or part of a word).

"Because I process words as whole blocks of meaning rather than strings of individual letters, I don't naturally 'spell' out words sequentially. I know exactly what 'apple' means and how it relates to other words, but I don't inherently focus on the fact that it contains two 'p's unless specifically asked to break it down."

Samsungs new monitors come with free credits or bonus gadgets worth up to $500 — how to claim

Mashable - Wed, 05/27/2026 - 07:16

Samsung unveiled a batch of next-generation monitors earlier this month, and right now, most of them are available for purchase. Over half cost well over $1,000 — you didn't think the world's first 6K gaming monitor would be a bargain, did you? — but Samsung is taking the edge off their prices with some freebies.

For a limited time, the new Samsung monitors come with your pick of a free credit worth up to $300 or a free bonus gadget worth up to $499.99. (The credit can be applied to any future purchase.) The latter options include Samsung's Music Studio 5 and Music Studio 7 smart speakers, valued at $299.99 and $499.99 apiece, as well as its latest Galaxy Buds4 Pro noise-cancelling earbuds. Those normally go for $249.99 on their own.

This offer is only available through Samsung's website, not at other tech retailers that carry them, so be sure to buy direct.

The lineup includes updated Odyssey, ViewFinity, and The Movingstyle Essential monitors that "push the boundaries of performance and visual quality," said Hun Lee, Samsung's Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business, in a press release. The star of the show is the new 32-inch Odyssey G8 ($1,599.99), the first-ever 6K gaming monitor, which our sister site PCMag called "pure overkill — in the best way." It's joined by a 27-inch Odyssey G8 with an almost-as-crisp 5K resolution ($949.99).

Samsung has also fleshed out its roster of OLED gaming monitors with the new Odyssey OLED G7 and G8 displays. The OLED G7 comes in one 32-inch size ($1,099.99), while the OLED G8 comes in 27- and 32-inch variants ($1,099.99 and $1,299.99, respectively) and adds a glare-free finish. The larger Odyssey OLED G8 also features VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, which indicates elite brightness and contrast.

As for why they're one of our favorites? Well, we think they offer the best ear hook design, which is good news for those who like to listen to music while they're working out. Mashable's Bethany Allard writes in our roundup of the best open earbuds: "While most ear hook earbuds come with some degree of flexibility, the AeroFits offer four locked-in angles, making them the most comfortable (and snug) open-ear hook buds we've tried so far."

That's not all, though. They even offer "Solid sound quality for the price", per our best open earbuds roundup. Pair that with up to 10 hours of battery on a single charge (that can even be pushed up to 42 with the case), and the Soundcore AeroFit 2 are a worthy pick.

This deal may not last long beyond Memorial Day sales. If they've caught your eye, now is the time to make a move on the Soundcore AeroFit 2 while they're still on sale.

What makes the Garmin Lily 2 stand out is it doesn't have the chunky design of most other smartwatches. It's much sleeker, and can blend in as more of a stylish watch on your wrist rather than a bulky tracker. Our review from writer RJ Andersen said it's "a great option for someone who wants a stylish, simple smartwatch to track activity without a ton of bells and whistles."

If you're just looking to track the basics, the Garmin Lily 2 still boasts plenty of features to help with your day-to-day routines. These include a sleep score, respiration tracking, hydration tracking, all-day stress tracking, heart rate monitoring, and a Body Battery energy monitor. It can even track a variety of activities like yoga, pilates, dance fitness, and more. Plus, it offers up to five days of battery life before it needs a recharge.

If you're not looking for a techy timepiece packed with advanced features, the Garmin Lily 2 is a stylish pick worth checking out.

There's a lot that makes these earbuds so good, but their secure-fit wingtips stand out for making them the perfect workout earbuds. This design helps keep them firmly in place during workouts of all intensities, as well as for general use.

The custom acoustic platform also delivers powerful sound, and you'll get Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking to create a more immersive listening experience for music. You'll also get three different listening modes: Active Noise Cancelling, Transparency Mode, and Adaptive EQ, so you can switch between blocking out noise completely or staying aware of your surroundings.

And for battery life, these will not let you down. They promise up to six hours of listening time on a single charge, extending to up to 24 hours with the charging case. Having used these for several years, I've never been let down by the battery.

Apple reportedly working on anti-phone snatching security feature

Mashable - Wed, 05/27/2026 - 06:01

Apple is reportedly working on a new iOS feature that will lock users' phones immediately should they get grabbed by a phone snatcher.

The new feature would leverage technology already on the iPhone, including its accelerometer as well as potentially its connection to an Apple Watch, to detect the snatching and immediately lock the device, according to 9to5Mac.

SEE ALSO: What is Lockdown Mode on iPhone and how do you enable it?

Phone snatchers in large metropolitan areas often use motorbikes to steal phones from the hands of the unwary. In addition to a quick escape, this strategy allows phone snatchers to potentially obtain unlocked phones. An unlocked phone can be worth up to $1,000 to a thief, about $800 more than a locked phone, according to a recent Wired report.

An unlocked device is more valuable because thieves can access users' personal data and apps and have a much easier route to the phone owner's bank account, the publisher wrote.

This new feature would be the latest in Apple’s Stolen Device Protection features that include Activation Lock, which stops thieves from disabling tracking or resetting the phone without the correct Apple Account login, and the Find My app, which allows users to track their missing or stolen Apple devices.

Users already have access to features requiring biometric authentication to unlock their devices, as well as other security features like Security Delay, which forces anyone changing major passwords or performing similar actions to wait an hour and confirm the decision with an additional biometric authentication.

It’s unclear when Apple might debut this new feature if the 9to5Mac report proves accurate. The next opportunity would be at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). Scheduled for June 8-12, this is where Apple often reveals details about the next iOS. So we may hear more about this feature sooner rather than later.

We're only a few days into the 2026 French Open but already it feels blockbuster, with a triple header today that sees Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, and Iga Swiatek all take to the clay.

As always, Djokovic will be one of the most intriguing players of the tournament. Though he's almost 40-years-old, the Serbian remains world class and reached the final of this year's Australian Open. That said, it has been three years since he won the last of his 24 Grand Slam titles, so the No. 3 seed is sure to give everything he's got to make it 25 at Roland-Garros.

There's nothing quite like the sizzling excitement of a major tennis tournament, and the 2026 French Open is no exception.

Next up in men's singles action is Tomas Machac vs. Alexander Zverev. German star Zverev is the No. 2 seed, having bumped up a place due to the absence of Carlos Alcaraz, and he powered through the first round in straight sets.

Zverev has already ruffled some feathers at the tournament with comments about the gulf in quality between Jannik Sinner and the rest of the men's field, saying that Sinner is in a league of his own and that himself, Novak Djokovic, and Carlos Alcaraz are just a step behind. Now it's up to Zverev to prove he belongs in that group by claiming a trophy.

How to watch Bejlek vs. Swiatek online for free

TL;DR: Live stream Bejlek vs. Swiatek in the 2026 French Open for free on 9Now. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.

It's no surprise that Iga Swiatek is one to watch in the 2026 French Open. The Polish superstar is the world No. 3 and won last year's Wimbledon.

A tournament win at Roland-Garros would have special significance. At just 24-years-old, she's already a four-time French Open winner, and taking the title for a fifth time would put her in an elite bracket — something that hasn't been done since Steffi Graf became a five-time French Open Champion exactly 30 years ago.

But Swiatek must now get through a second-round match with Sara Bejlek, an unseeded 20-year-old from the Czech Republic. Bejlek exited in the second round last year, but she did win the Abu Dhabi Open in February.
