Mashable - Mon, 07/20/2026 - 12:19

SAVE $40: As of July 20, the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet is on sale for just $99.99 at Amazon. That's 29% off its list price and the first discount we've seen in 2026.

A few years back, Amazon quietly released a new Fire HD 10 tablet. It's lighter, 25% faster, and longer-lasting than the previous iteration. It also has better cameras and support for Amazon's stylus. We were pretty surprised it didn't go on sale for Prime Day. In fact, the Fire HD 10, shockingly, hasn't seen a discount since Black Friday last year. So, when I spotted today's deal, I had to shout it out.

As of July 20, the Fire HD 10 tablet is on sale for just $99.99 at Amazon. That's 29% off its list price and the first discount we've seen in 2026.

The Fire HD 10 tablet isn't going to wow you like, say, a 2026 iPad Air. It's a no frills tablet ideal for those who just want something portable to browse social media, stream their favorite shows, and maybe answer a few emails. Mashable's reviewer SaVanna Shoemaker said it's "lighter and faster than its predecessors, with a long battery life and vivid picture that makes it great for on-the-go entertainment." Compared to other well-known tablets, she also adds that it's an "excellent value."

If you're looking for a tablet that won't break the bank, but provides all the basics for entertainment in a feather-light frame, the Fire HD 10 is a solid pick. We particularly recommend it when it's under $100.

What does The Odyssey translator Emily Wilson think of Christopher Nolans film?

Mashable - Mon, 07/20/2026 - 12:08

We can't ask Homer what he thinks of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, but we can ask someone who knows it better than most.

Emily Wilson, the British-American classicist whose 2017 translation of the epic poem was one of the director's inspirations, was asked her opinion on The Odyssey film by the Associated Press.

"I want to celebrate the fact that so many more people are aware of The Odyssey and were brought back to the poem,” she told AP. "But at the same time, I had the sense that Christopher Nolan was trying to pack everything in while missing themes that were essential to the poem."

SEE ALSO: 'The Odyssey' hints at 3 myths without detailing them. Here are the untold stories.

Nolan has cited Wilson's work as among his influences for the film, notably Homer's opening line, "Tell me about a complicated man."

Granted, it's nothing short of a herculean task to try and fit every last element of Homer's 12,000-line poem into a film that runs just under three hours, despite that IMAX screen size. Nolan does hit the major plot points of The Odyssey's 20-year chronology — the Trojan Horse, Penelope's (Anne Hathaway) sleazy suitors, Odysseus (Matt Damon) and his men running into the cyclops Polythemus (Bill Irwin), the sirens, the Scylla monster, and the nymph Calypso (Charlize Theron) along the way — he leaves many myths deliberately untold.

Featured Video For You What It Was Like Shooting One of Oppenheimer’s Most Remarkable Moments

For one thing, Wilson's translation famously reexamined the role of women in The Odyssey, like the characters of Penelope and Circe. And Nolan's film does give women more agency than they've had in his previous work, as Mashable's Belen Edwards writes in her review, "Nolan makes sure to emphasize the women of The Odyssey's complexities, as opposed to letting them linger on the sidelines or in dead wife montages. Most importantly, he lets them be angry."

I'm going to leave the hand-wringing to the internet on this one (and it's happening), but it's interesting to hear scholars responses to The Odyssey, a text that has been reinterpreted for thousands of years through literature, art, film, video games, and myriad creative avenues.

As to what Homer would think? No one can ever know that, stop speaking for an ancient Greek poet on X.

The Odyssey is now in cinemas.

Two of our favorite Kindles are on sale for their lowest prices ever

Mashable - Mon, 07/20/2026 - 12:04

Best Kindle deals as of July 20 Best overall deal Amazon Kindle Paperwhite $124.99 (save $35) Get Deal Best upgrade deal Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition $144.99 (save $55) Get Deal

While there are a ton of great options for e-readers these days, basically no brands have Amazon's Kindle beat when it comes to affordability.

That holds especially true come sitewide sales at Amazon like Prime Day, as Kindles tend to go on sale for record low prices. While you may catch them on offer at other times in the year, generally the deals won't be quite as good.

However, there's always the chance that on a random Monday — say, like today, July 20 — another retailer will bring the heat. And as it happens, Best Buy has not one, but two Kindles down to their lowest prices ever. The Kindle Paperwhite is available for $124.99, knocking $35 off its $159.99 price, while the Kindle Paperwhite Signature is just $144.99, knocking $55 off its $199.99 price. At the time of writing, neither e-reader is on sale at Amazon.

In other words, if you regret not grabbing a Kindle during last month's Prime Day sale, this is your chance to soothe your regrets.

SEE ALSO: Kindle Paperwhite vs. Signature Edition: Which is the best Amazon e-reader?

Mashable's resident e-reader expert and Lead Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino has tested every single available Kindle, and determined the Kindle Paperwhite to be the best overall Kindle, while the Paperwhite Signature is the best upgraded version of the device. She also says the Kindle is the best e-reader she's ever tried, including testing from brands like Kobo, Boox, Xteink, and Durobo.

The standard Paperwhite has an incredible 12-week battery life, 16GB of storage, great Libby integration, is waterproof, and a light that automatically adjusts temperature. Mangino has owned the Paperwhite for two years, and says it works just as well as the day she opened the box. At $124.99, its just $15 more than the current price of the standard Kindle.

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition, on the other hand, ups the ante for readers. It has the same 12-week battery life of its non-Signature analogue, but double the storage at 32GB. It also has a seven-inch display like the regular Paperwhite, but features an auto-adjusting light, wireless charging, and maybe best of all, no ads on the lockscreen. At $144.99, it's cheaper than the Paperwhite is at full price, making this an excellent price to grab it at.

It's that time of year again: Marketing teams everywhere are going to be singing "It's Christmas in July." Why they do this, I have no idea. I'd honestly like to enjoy my seasons in the appropriate amount of time, but here we are. (Going into Hobby Lobby this past weekend put me into a full spiral; Halloween decorations are out.) But I guess I can't complain too much because it means Lovehoney's annual Black Friday in July Sale is live.

SEE ALSO: I've tested 100+ sex toys. Here are the 15 most mind-blowing toys I've ever owned.

Right now, you can get up to 70% off vibrators, male sex toys, lingerie, and bondage gear. As an added bonus, if your cart hits $99, Lovehoney will let you choose a free gift at checkout. Today's free gift options include a metal butt plug, black lace lingerie, lace wrist cuffs, a mini wand vibrator, a prostate vibrator, a transparent stroker, or a vibrating cock ring.

If you're trying to get the most bang for your buck, I recommend adding the G-Thriller, Womanizer Starlet 3 (or Liberty 2), and LELO Smart Wand 2 Medium (it's only $119 at Lovehoney but $169 on the LELO site) to your cart. This way, you can have a little bit of everything for less than $250 — add a butt plug as your free gift to cover all your bases.

Of course, only you know what works for your body. So mix and match deals as you please. I only recommended these three for the trifecta: G-spot stimulation, clitoral stimulation, and a high-intensity wand that'll get you off in seconds (yes, I have a Smart Wand too!).

The new, wide Galaxy Z Fold 8 revealed by BTS member J-Hope

Mashable - Mon, 07/20/2026 - 11:28

Thanks to BTS member J-Hope, we now have our first look at Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide in the wild, ahead of the July 22 Galaxy Unpacked event.

According to a report from 9to5Google's Ben Schoon, the singer was filmed using the device during soundcheck footage at a BTS World Tour stop in Paris, with the compiled clips circulating on X. The footage shows J-Hope holding and filming with the device from both front and back angles. The device in the video matches leaked renders of the new wide version of the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which is expected to go head-to-head with the iPhone Ultra Fold later this year.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The clips show a purple finish, though the phone isn't shown unfolded, leaving its inner display still unseen. Samsung maintains a marketing partnership with BTS, and 9to5Google suggested the phone was likely supplied to J-Hope through that relationship rather than as an intentional early reveal.

The device is widely expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name, though as we've noted, the branding may cause confusion. This version reportedly isn't a direct successor to last year's Z Fold 7, with that role instead going to a separate Z Fold 8 Ultra.

In our guide to Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide leaks, the reported specs point to a 5.5-inch external display, 7.6-inch internal display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, 12GB RAM, and a 4,800mAh battery, alongside a camera setup: 50MP wide, 50MP ultrawide, dual 10MP selfie. This marks a step down from the Z Fold 7's 200MP main sensor.

Samsung is set to formally unveil the device alongside the Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 8, and new smartwatches at the July 22 Galaxy Unpacked event in London.

Save $640 on Samsungs 870 EVO 2TB internal SSD

SAVE 62%: As of July 20, you can get Samsung's 870 EVO SATA III (2TB) internal SSD for $399.99, down from $1,039.99, at Amazon. That's a 62% discount or $640 in savings.

If your computer's been hissing at you or freezing up on basic tasks, you might need some extra storage space. And right now, Amazon's got a ton of deals going on SSDs; there's just one thing you need to know: Most of these deals are fake.

Okay, maybe not all of them, but there's a widespread counterfeit scam going on right now that you need to watch out for. Scammers are selling counterfeit 2TB SSDs that look identical to the real thing but only hold about 120GB of storage. Once the drive is full, it will fail, and your files will be unreadable.

SEE ALSO: Samsung's new 990 SSD has dropped — features, price, and where to buy

The good news? If you know what to look for, you can dodge the scammers and score a great drive for an affordable price. For instance, Amazon has the Samsung 870 EVO (2TB) internal SSD listed for $399.99 right now. That's a 62% discount or a $640 price cut.

If you want to make sure you're getting the real deal, use this checklist before and after you buy:

  • Check the seller first: This specific $399.99 listing is shipped and sold directly by Amazon.com and links straight to the official Samsung storefront. That's your first green flag. If you see SSDs sold by random third-party marketplace sellers, don't buy them.

  • Inspect the physical drive: Once your package arrives, look closely at the sticker. If the edges are sloppy or it looks like it's been peeled off and reapplied at some point, be suspicious.

  • Run a capacity test: Don't trust it with important files until you run a test through the Samsung Magician software to make sure the internal serial number matches the sticker, or use a free tool like H2testw to verify it's a true 2TB drive.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 leaks, see the sleek new wearable

Mashable - Mon, 07/20/2026 - 11:03

With just days to go before Samsung's next big product showcase, the products themselves are leaking to an extreme degree, as per usual. While Apple tends to keep a tight lid on its devices' specs and features, Samsung smartphones and watches typically leak widely ahead of their official launch.

The latest leak comes courtesy of prolific leaker Evan Blass. On Substack, Blass posted several very official-looking renders of the new Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, just a couple of days before Samsung Galaxy Unpacked in London. The renders show not only the device's appearance but also text showcasing various specs.

SEE ALSO: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra appears online with Messi's face and a $13,000 price tag This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Those leaked specs include an IP69K dust- and water-resistance rating and an 800mAh battery, much larger than the 590mAh cell in last year's model. It's also supposed to be 12 percent thinner and a good deal brighter, with its display's peak brightness set at 5,000 nits, up from 3,000 nits on the previous watch. That matches an earlier leak, which claimed the new Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 would have "a record-breakingly bright display."

Lastly, the leak claims the wearable will supposedly use the Snapdragon Wear Elite chip. Pretty much all of that lines up with other recent leaks.

There are only about 48 hours left before Unpacked at the time of publication, but maybe we'll get even more leaks before then.

Mashable will be attending the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event in London on July 22, so check back in a few days for our live blog and udpates on all of the latest announcements.

It always seems like summer is the perfect time to start a new fitness routine or train for a Labor Day 5K. In reality, summer weather is not always accommodating to heading outside for training sessions. Between heat, sudden thunderstorms, and occasional wildfire smoke, summer training can be rough. Instead of battling those elements, stay indoors thanks to this deal.

As of July 20, the Peloton Tread is on sale at Amazon for $2,895, marked down from the standard price of $3,295. That's a $400 savings from the 12% discount.

Get your favorite fitness tracker on and hop on the Peloton Tread. Like the popular Peloton Bike, the Tread has a high-end design with features to match. There's a 21.5-inch HD screen that swivels, front facing speakers, and a generously sized 59-inch-long running belt.

Peloton put the speed and incline knobs in a convenient location, making them easy to adjust while mid-workout. The jump button will increase the speed by one and the incline by one percent. Overall, you can select a speed between 1 and 12.5 miles per hour, in increments of .1 miles for plenty of control.

SEE ALSO: The Bose headphones I recommend to everyone are now $130 off

The Peloton Tread is designed for people who weigh 300 lbs or less, and there's even a USB-C charging port on the treadmill for recharging your phone while you work out.

Since it's on sale for $400 off and we're in the peak of summer, gift yourself the comfort of the Peloton Tread and get your steps in, indoors. You'll be happy to have it come winter chill, too.

Daisy’s first headphones sold out fast — here’s why everyone’s talking about them

Mashable - Mon, 07/20/2026 - 10:27

TL;DR: Daisy One headphones are already sold out, with the brand’s first production run quickly snapped up across the U.S. and Europe. You can sign up for restock updates to be notified when the $399 noise-canceling headphones are back in stock.

Daisy Sound is already making noise in the crowded headphone market. Just weeks after launching its first product, the Daisy One headphones have sold out across the U.S., UK, and Europe.

The $399 over-ear headphones aren’t trying to simply compete with Sony and Bose flagships. Instead, Daisy is taking a different approach with features like adaptive noise cancellation, custom sound tuning, and Still Mode, a built-in collection of calming soundscapes.

While the first batch is sold out, Daisy says a new production run is already underway. If you want to get your hands on a pair, you can sign up for restock notifications.

Why Daisy One headphones are getting so much attention

At $399, the Daisy One headphones are competing directly with some of the biggest names in audio, including Sony and Bose. Rather than trying to outdo Sony and Bose on noise cancellation alone, Daisy is taking a different approach to what premium headphones can offer.

The California-based company is building a headphone experience around sound, focus, and calm, with features designed for people who want more from their headphones than just blocking out the world.

The feature getting the most attention is Still Mode, a dedicated feature built into the Daisy One. With the press of a button, users can access calming audio experiences directly from the headphones, without opening an app or keeping their phone connected.

Still Mode includes soundscapes recorded in California, such as rain, ocean, and forest sounds, brown noise, and guided breathing tracks. The idea is to give users an easy way to switch into a focused or relaxed state — whether they’re working, traveling, or simply taking a break.

SEE ALSO: Microsoft will straight up give you a free pair of Sony XM6 headphones right now

Instead of using the larger 40mm drivers common in many premium wireless headphones, Daisy One uses 35mm dynamic drivers tuned for a balanced sound with controlled bass. It’s a different approach for a $399 pair of headphones, where bigger specs often get more attention.

You can also adjust the sound through Daisy EQ, while Dynamic Bass helps keep low frequencies full without making your music feel muddy.

Beyond noise cancellation, Daisy One includes the essentials you’d expect from premium headphones. You get wireless connectivity, transparency mode, multi-device pairing, Bluetooth calling, and both 3.5mm AUX and USB-C connections for wired listening. Battery life is rated at up to 45 hours, with rapid charging support, while the headphones feature a slim metallic design.

The first run sold out fast, but Daisy is already working on more units. Sign up for restock alerts so you don’t miss the next drop.

Upgrade your TV to Samsungs entry-level 2026 OLED for $500 off — its best price ever

Mashable - Mon, 07/20/2026 - 10:23

SAVE $500: As of July 20, the Samsung 65-inch S85H OLED 4K TV is on sale for $1,497.99 at Amazon. That's a 25% discount and its best price to date.

If it's been years since you bought a new TV and you want an upgrade that makes a noticeable difference, I suggest grabbing an OLED model. OLED TVs have more advanced lighting that makes them more vibrant and detailed than QLED TVs, especially when it comes to watching in dark rooms or viewing dim cinematic scenes. They're also more expensive, of course, but if you act fast, you can save $500 on one of Samsung's 2026 OLED TVs.

As of July 20, the Samsung 65-inch S85H OLED 4K TV is on sale at Amazon for just $1,497.99 instead of its usual $1,997.99. Not only is that 25% in savings, but it's this particular model's best price ever — even beating Prime Day by an extra $200.

The S85H is Samsung's entry-level version of our favorite OLED TV for 2026. It packs an NQ4 AI Gen2 processor that can upscale content to 4K and an extremely thin, glossy OLED HDR panel. The glossy display can be more prone to reflections, but it can also preserve black levels better in bright rooms. Just be aware of where your light sources are coming from before you decide on its new home.

Other features include a 120Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Color Booster Pro, AI Customization Mode, Real Depth Enhancer, Voice Amplifier Pro, and Motion Based Sound. The S85H offers the best picture quality from a Samsung OLED TV for the best price — especially now that it's $500 cheaper. While we find the 65-inch model to be the sweet spot for most people, size options range from 48 inches to 83 inches and each one is on sale at Amazon.

With tech prices on the rise, budget finds feel more important than ever. If new earbuds have been on your radar, the Nothing Ear (a) earbuds are one option worth a look that won't make a huge dent in your wallet. That's even more true now, as Amazon has slashed $20 off the list price.

As of July 20, the Nothing Ear (a) earbuds — in every available color of white, black, and yellow — have been marked down to $59 at the retailer. Normally, their list price is around $79, so this is a great opportunity to save. Keep in mind the white pair currently has a "limited time deal" tag, so if they've caught your eye, you'll want to be quick to scoop them up.

SEE ALSO: Could they read lips? The clues to Apple’s AirPods Pro Ultra

The Nothing Ear (a) earbuds are a worthy investment. Mashable's Alex Perry rounded up reviewers' thoughts back when they were originally released, and various publications highlighted "Great sound quality," "Effective noise cancellation," and "Decent battery life," with the lack of Qi wireless charging being the biggest bummer.

With the help of 45dB Smart Active Noise Cancellation, you'll be able to enjoy your favorite tunes, podcasts, or audiobooks through these earbuds without outside noises constantly interrupting. Their battery life is pretty solid, too. According to the store page, they can last over 42.5 hours with ANC off when using the charging case, which is great news for any long trips or commutes you have coming up.

If they've caught your eye, don't miss out on this chance to score Nothing Ear (a) earbuds for under $60 at Amazon.

English footballer Wayne Rooneys blunt reaction to World Cup halftime show goes viral

Mashable - Mon, 07/20/2026 - 06:57

The 2026 FIFA World Cup final on Sunday was something of a first for the tournament, in that it featured a halftime show similar to the kind you typically associate with the Super Bowl.

Coldplay's Chris Martin curated the MetLife Stadium show with Global Citizen and he certainly went all out, bringing together performances from the likes of Shakira, BTS, Justin Bieber, and Burna Boy, a cameo from Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) himself, and a special appearance from the Muppets.

Needless to say the internet reacted, and there was plenty of excitement from most corners. But not all.

Watching on from the BBC Sport commentary box, it's fair to say former England footballer-turned-pundit Wayne Rooney was less than impressed with the spectacle.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Responding to host Gabby Logan's question to name his favorite bit of the halftime show, Rooney remained straight-faced as he gave the following response: "I'll be honest, mine was when it finished. I like a lot of them artists, but I thought it was crap."

That clip has now been shared thousands of times on X. You certainly can't fault his honesty.

BTS met IShowSpeed at the World Cup final and its everything

Mashable - Mon, 07/20/2026 - 06:36

BTS and IShowSpeed met each other in the hallway at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final and the video is pure glee with added backflip.

The South Korean superstars performed in the first ever World Cup halftime show on Sunday, during the final match between victors Spain and runners up Argentina. In a delightful exchange on the day, BTS members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook ran into the YouTube megastar (and Mashable 101 alumnus) in the halls of MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

In a video posted to Instagram by IShowSpeed, it's hard to tell who is fanning out harder.

Speed's backflip? So casual. And there's a lot of "big fan" comments exchanged all round. It's extremely sweet.

During the World Cup halftime show, BTS performed their 2020 Grammy nominated, chart-topping, YouTube-smashing single "Dynamite," the group's first number one in America. In a performance curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin and Global Citizen, BTS shared the lineup with Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira, Burna Boy, the Muppets, and more, including appearances from football legends Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and Ted Lasso's Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt in character.

BTS will perform again at the MetLife Stadium in a few weeks' time, returning to the U.S. for more dates on their ARIRANG World Tour.

It's been a major World Cup for Speed (aka Darren Watkins Jr.) as he's become one of the biggest U.S. names during the tournament off the field. The 21-year-old football-loving creator has been livestreaming matches to his millions of followers through his official partnership with FIFA, YouTube and Fox Sports.

Speed also hosted the inaugural YouTube FIFA Creator Cup, a creator-led exhibition match in New York City's Central Park, last Sunday. Mashable chatted to the host at the event, with Culture Editor Crystal Bell specifically asking him to build a dream World Cup squad from One Piece characters.

Early in the tournament, the streamer went viral for not recognising New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani sitting right beside him in MetLife Stadium, during the first World Cup 2026 game between Brazil and Morocco. However, in more serious news, FIFA investigated after alleged racist abuse aimed at Speed was captured in one of his YouTube livestreams for the World Cup.

Sweet moments of wholesome fandom between superstars, after all that, are pure gold.
