But pressed on both sides by the superior smarts and sound of the $100 Echo and the only slightly inferior Echo Dot at huge discounts? The answer isn't so straightforward. In a vacuum, definitely. Is a new Echo Dot worth $50?
Ditto setting up surround sound for your home theater. Two Echo Dots can still be paired for stereo sound, but I can't imagine recommending this over buying a better quality $100 speaker, like the Nest Audio or 2020 Echo.
And you won't even need to Buy Book any titles as it comes with a free three month trial of Kindle Unlimited, giving you free access to millions of fiction and non-fiction titles as well as the latest celebrity autobiographies.
It's hard to promise what isn't there. Google Assistant: MIA. That's incredibly frustrating considering how good Google Assistant is, and how Samsung's Google Wear OS partnership seemed to be lining up specifically to allow things like Assistant.
If you're on a budget but are looking for a tablet that will stream your favourite TV shows, browse apps like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, as well as keep you entertained with e-books and games, then this could be a brilliant and sensibly priced buy.
Beauty lovers praise the straighteners' ceramic plates, rounded barrel and shiny, frizz-free results. Gliding effortlessly through all hair types without snagging, you'll be able to tame and create curls in little to no time.
And on the other end of the price spectrum, Amazon's new $100 full-size Echo represents a serious upgrade in sound quality and smart home control. It's a solid smart speaker and an easy entry point into the market, but it's competing with 2018's still-excellent Dot, which has seen prices in recent weeks as low as $19. Now, Amazon's new Echo Dot faces a problem.
Because today, a Mail investigation reveals what happened after Black Friday last year, proving yet again that the number of genuine one-off deals worth sharpening your elbows for are, in truth, scarce.
The perfect reading solution for holidays and travelling, rather than weigh down your suitcase with books, the Kindle, which is now on sale with 29 per cent off, comes with 8GB of storage, so it can store thousands of books in one place - like a small library at your fingertips.

If you're listening to acoustic music, such as Bon Iver's "Re: Stacks," at 50% volume, the speaker boasts warm tones, solid track distinction and good balance. When we tested them side-by-side last year, Google's Nest Mini boasted slightly superior sound to the third-gen Echo Dot, and this time around, the new Dot just edges past the Mini.
Waiting for Go(Dot) The 2020 Echo Dot is a solid device. But Amazon seems to have saved its true innovations for other devices this generation -- adding better smart home control to the full-size Echo and more interesting features to the Kids Edition. It improves the sound of 2018's Echo Dot, and the new design is fresh, if not revelatory.
Deemed a healthier cooking method, this air fryer, which is now marked down to a very reasonable £35.98, cooks your food in no time using just heat and a powerful fan. Crisp up fries, veggies and chicken wings without the need to use oil.
Battery life: Two days (or less)
The Galaxy Watch 4 feels very fast, and loads apps faster than any Android watch I can remember. The watch's new chipset seems to be a very good sign of where other Google watches could go as far as feeling more responsive. It's not always as lightning-quick as the latest Apple Watch, but it still feels great.
Shoppers have still found watching shows, films and reading a very pleasurable experience, and with up to seven hours of reading, surfing the web, watching video and listening to music, the battery life is impressive too.
Google Assistant should be coming sometime, I think, but it's unclear. Instead, you're stuck with Bixby as the only assistant for Book Store now. — Scott Stein (@jetscott) August 13, 2021 Hi, Bixby
As I said earlier: Google's excellent voice-based Assistant isn't on the Galaxy Watch 4.
The developer East Thames Group confirmed it had removed the wording from its website, saying: 'We did this because the copy was categorically incorrect - East Thames does not have a policy of excluding overseas residents from purchasing homes through private sale. Its presence on the website was a mistake and was the result of our creative agency misinterpreting our commitment to the Mayoral Concordat.'
Google Fit apps can be loaded onto the Watch 4 for tracking alongside Samsung Health, but Samsung still expects your data to flow through Samsung Health as well. Fitbit doesn't have any Wear OS apps yet, but is expected to have some later this year...even so, there won't be a chance of having Fitbit's full tracking capabilities running on this watch anytime soon. But Google has its own pair of fitness-tracking apps: Google Fit, and Buy Book the recently acquired Fitbit.
