Sure, your phone has a camera built into it, but do you really want to strap that to your bike helmet to capture the next time you go roaring through those muddy woods? Probably not, and that’s fine because there are some great action cameras that are designed to take the load instead. And now you can get one of the best with a cool $100 off.
The camera in question is the DJI Osmo Action 4, a camera that would normally retail for $399 but can be yours today for just $299. That’s a 25% saving and what’s more, it’s a saving that you won’t be made to work for. There are no discount codes and no on-screen coupons here, and all you have to do is place the order to save. Do note that we can’t say how long this deal will be available for because Amazon’s product page doesn’t say either, so keep that in mind if you’re planning a purchase.
The DJI Osmo Action 4 has all of the features and specs that you’d expect including support for 4K footage with a large 1/1.3-inch sensor. There’s support for 10-bit and D-Log M Color Performance, and this camera is even rated to work in extreme cold as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celcius). Add in the fact that the camera is waterproof and you really can take this thing anywhere.
Looking to add some accessories to your camera? The Osmo Action 4 Adventure Combo is also available with $100 off, making the price just $399. That bundle includes a case, extra batteries, and a whole lot more making it the perfect starter bundle.

If you’ve regularly bought Samsung Galaxy phones, you’ll be happy to see that the company’s newest flagship is going to be launched in a couple of days. If the rumors prove to be true, the new Galaxy S24 lineup is set to offer plenty of upgrades over the previous versions and we’re likely to get a lot more information during the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked eventon Jan 15. With the previous Galaxy S23being one of the best premium Android phones, we’re looking forward to seeing what the new devices have to offer.
If you’re ready to get a jumpstart on reserving the latest devices, you won’t want to miss this offer. The company is currently letting you reserve your opportunity to preorder the newest Galaxy smartphone and they’re sweetening the deal by offering $50 in Samsung credit and up to an additional $970 in savings for those who want to lock in preorders ahead of Unpacked.
If you’re a fan of Samsung, this is a great opportunity to secure your spot to preorder the new phone and get that additional credit to spend at Samsung’s online store. All you have to do to qualify is submit your name and email address on Samsung’s reservation site. We expect preorders to go live shortly after the Unpacked event later this month. Even if you reserve your space now, there’s no obligation to follow through if you decide not to buy later, so it’s worth it to go ahead and sign up if you’re interested.
As noted in the small print on Samsung’s site, the company will also be offering free storage upgrades during the preorder phase as it has done for previous launches, and additional Samsung credit may also be provided depending on the type of device purchased during preorder. Both of those factors make getting in early an even better value.
There is a caveat with this deal: Any reservation credit received cannot be applied to preordered Galaxy S24 devices, so you will instead need to spend it on additional Samsung products when you make your preorder purchase. That means you’ll want to use it towards items like cases, chargers and other items, but not the devices themselves. If you don’t use all of it, any remaining credit will be forfeited, so keep that in mind as you shop. Trade-in credit, on the other hand, will offset the upfront cost of the device you buy.
The Pittsburgh Steelers took down a resting Baltimore Ravens team last week, got some much needed help on Week 18’s Sunday game with the Jaguars’ loss to the Titans, and enter the playoffs this weekend as the AFC’s seventh and final seed. On Sunday, they head to Buffalo to take on a streaking Bills team that also locked up a playoff spot with the Jacksonville loss, but then took down the Dolphins on Sunday Night Football to earn their fifth straight win, the AFC East division crown and the AFC’s second overall seed.

Sunday’s Steelers-Bills game is on CBS nationally. The good news for football fans is that CBS is available on most of the major live TV streaming services. The least expensive option is Paramount Plus.
Numerous other live TV streaming services carry local CBS stations as well, namely YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, DirecTV Stream and Fubo. They all cost far more than Paramount Plus, but they also carry many live channels, including football broadcasting channels like Fox and ESPN.

A host of fan favorites are back as 12 familiar singletons return for another shot at romance on new reality spin-off show Love Island: All Stars.
Among previous contestants heading to an exclusive South Africa villa are Love Island season 3’s Georgia Harrison, season 7 duo Kaz Kamwi and Toby Aromolaran, season 4’s Georgia “I’m loyal, babe” Steel and OG islander Luis Morrison from season 1.

Don’t miss a moment of the steamy drama from Casa Amor by following our guide to watching Love Island: All Stars from anywhere in the world.
When does Love Island: All Stars start?
It depends on where you live.
In the UK, Love Island: All Stars starts on Monday, Jan. 15. New episodes are set to be broadcast every day at 9 p.m. GMT on ITV2 in the UK, (That’s 1 p.m. PT and 4 p.m. ET in the US and 6 a.m. AEDT the next day in Australia), ollowed up directly after at 10pm with the spin-off panel show Love Island: After Sun.
Outside the UK, it’s also available in Australia on Channel 9’s on-demand service, 9Now.
For US viewers, there’s set to be a bit of a wait, with no confirmed air date or broadcaster. However, we expect to see episodes of Love Island: All Stars to appear on Hulu a couple of weeks after they’ve aired in the UK.
How to watch Love Island All Stars from anywhere on VPN
So what if you’re traveling outside your home country and want to enjoy the show or want an added layer of privacy for streaming? There is an option that doesn’t require searching the internet for a sketchy website: You can use a VPN, or virtual private network.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the show. If you find yourself unable to watch locally, a VPN can come in handy. Plus, it’s a great idea for when you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
Most VPNs, like CNET’s Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it easy to virtually change your location. Looking for other options? Be sure to check out some of the other great VPN deals.

Tips for streaming the Love Island: All Stars using a VPN
With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — experience and success may vary.
If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
If you’re having trouble viewing after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a network’s app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
MLK Day is here, and so are the MLK Day sales. While the main purpose of of the holiday is to reflect upon and honor the strides Martin Luther King Jr. made towards racial justice in America, no holiday weekend goes by without major retailers launching sales. MLK Day isn’t quite the retail bonanza that Memorial Day, Presidents Day and Labor Day have become, but this long weekend is a good opportunity to save on tech and home goods if you’re already in the market for a purchase or two.
There are already a healthy number of deals you can take advantage of, and a few products are marked down close to all-time lows and Black Friday prices. This might be fortuitous timing for you, especially if you have some holiday gift cards burning a hole in your pocket.
So whether you’re in the mood for an Apple Watch, a new laptop, a cordless vacuum, or a new mattress, there are some excellent opportunities to save some money and buy yourself something you can enjoy through all of 2024.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday that marks the birthday of the civil rights activist and is observed on the third Monday of January each year. For 2024, MLK Day falls on Jan. 15. King’s birthday was Jan. 15, though the holiday in his name can fall as late as Jan. 21.
Where are the best MLK Day sales?
While some retailers choose not launch formal MLK Day sales, like they might otherwise do for Memorial Day or the 4th of July, you’ll find some solid deals at all of the major players including Best Buy, Walmart, Target and Amazon. MLK Day is also a good time to upgrade home items like furniture and mattresses.

The OnePlus 12 has already been announced in China, but the phone will soon be coming to the rest of the world. The company’s latest flagship phone will retail in the US, with preorders open today and open sales beginning on Feb. 7. We don’t yet know the pricing, but we expect it to be in line with the OnePlus 11 which cost $699/$799 at launch, depending on specification. International pricing and availability is yet to be confirmed, but $799 converts to roughly 630 or AU$1,205.
The base OnePlus 12 will come with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM, while a higher-spec option will be available, coming with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM. Both devices are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, with three rear Hasselblad-branded cameras including a 64-megapixel sensor that offers 3x optical zoom. The 6.82-inch display can reach a dazzling 4,500 nits of peak brightness. OnePlus also says it has class-leading cooling thanks to a “cryo-velocity cooling system” that’s designed to help manage processor heat during intense gaming.
There are two colors for the 12, called silky black and flowy emerald. The latter is a greenish hue with a wavy pattern inside its glass finish. While using the phone, the lines give off a sophisticated styling that suits a flagship device, though the glass finish is slippery.
In addition to 80-watt wired charging, which OnePlus says can take the phone from empty to full in around 30 minutes, the company has brought back wireless charging. It says the OnePlus 12 can charge at 50W speeds when paired with its proprietary AirVOOC charger.
The device also supports the Qi standard, though it’s unclear if OnePlus has adopted the latest Qi2 standard. Qi2 allows for 15W wireless charging and uses magnets for proper alignment with accessories.
The OnePlus 12 is IP65-rated for water- and dust-resistance. OnePlus says its new device’s screen can be used in the rain, similar to OnePlus’ international Ace 2 Pro phone.
OnePlus staples are still there — including the alert slider, which is now on the left-hand side. There’s also a fingerprint sensor underneath the display for unlocking. Wi-Fi 7 support and Android 14 run underneath its latest version of Oxygen OS. OnePlus promises four years of major Android software updates as well as five years of bimonthly security updates.
OnePlus will sell its new phone at Amazon and Best Buy, but it doesn’t have a US carrier partner. The company does note that its phone is certified to work with the 5G networks offered by AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. And the phone will be available directly from the OnePlus website.
OnePlus 12R
Launching alongside the flagship OnePlus 12 is the 12R. This model offers pared-back specs, including the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. It lacks the high-end camera specs of the standard 12. It does have a slightly larger 5,500-mAh battery, however, along with 80W fast charging. Its key features include the screen’s ability to be used when wet, 4,500 nits of brightness and software optimizations for smoother frame rates when gaming.
OnePlus has yet to confirm specific pricing for the 12R, but it’s expected to come at a lower price than the standard 12 when it goes on sale in February. If you’re looking for the best OnePlus has to offer, you’ll likely want to look towards the 12. But if you want solid all-round performance at a more affordable price, you may be better served with the OnePlus 12R — especially if photography prowess is less of a concern.
How these two phones stack up side-by-side remains to be seen. Check back for our full reviews when they launch.

The Detroit Lions are hosting a playoff game for the first time in 30 years. Dan Campbell’s crew won the NFC North and will take on the Los Angeles Rams in Michigan in primetime on Sunday night.
They’ll face a familiar face in quarterback Matthew Stafford, who spent the first 12 years of his career in Detroit before being traded to the Rams three years ago. The 35-year-old Stafford led the Rams to the sixth seed in the NFC by his steady play and the emergence of two rookies in wideout Puka Nacua and running back Kyren Williams. For the Lions, it’s a revenge game for QB Jared Goff, whom the Rams traded to Detroit for Stafford.
The Rams and Lions kick off on Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on NBC. Here’s how you can watch, stream and follow along.

How to watch Rams vs. Lions in the US
Sunday’s Rams-Lions game is on NBC, so your local NBC station will carry the game. In addition to cable, satellite and an over-the-air antenna — which lets you watch NBC for free — you can also watch the game live using a streaming service. The least expensive is Peacock Premium at $6 per month. Most live TV streaming services, including YouTube TV and Hulu Plus Live TV, also carry your local NBC station (see below), but they’re a lot more expensive.
You can also subscribe to NFL Plus, the NFL’s own streaming service at $7 per month, but streams are limited to just watching on a phone or tablet (not a TV).

If you bought an iPhone 15or iPhone 15 Pro, then one of the first things you should do is buy a phone case for them to keep them safe. That’s especially the case given they’re some of the best iPhones so far and are worth a fortune depending on where you get them from. Luckily, CNET has an exclusive promo code from Speck that will let you save 20% on your order.
That order doesn’t have to be only for cases, either. Speck has other accessories available, including screen protectors — never a bad idea — plus stands, grips, wallets and more. They’re all compatible with the new iPhones, so make sure to add what you want to your order before checking out if you want to save 20% on everything. Enter code CNET20 to lock in that discount.
There are plenty of different cases to choose from whether you’re looking to protect the iPhone 15 or the range-topping iPhone 15 Pro Max. There are cases with Speck’s ClickLock MagSafe support in a range of colors, while people who prefer their cases to be clear can choose one of those, too. With some interesting iPhone 15 colors on offer, that could well be the way to go. We’re not so sure about those muted iPhone 15 Pro colors, though.
Remember to enter discount code CNET20 when checking out, and that this deal will end Jan. 16 at midnight PST. That means you still have just under two days left to make your purchase, but don’t forget, or you’ll wind up paying more than you had to.
The Green Bay Packers snuck into the playoffs as the NFC’s last Wild Card team with a 9-8 record. The Pack now heads to Dallas to take on the 12-5 Cowboys, who overtook the Eagles in the final weeks of the season to win the NFC East.

They will face a tough Dallas defense led by All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons and an explosive offense behind the duo of quarterback Dak Prescott and wideout CeeDee Lamb.
The Packers and Cowboys kick off Sunday’s second Wild Card playoff game at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) on Fox. Here’s how you can watch, stream and follow along.
