So, what does Mint Mobile have planned? First of all, you can save up to $440 on one of the best smartphones out there. All these phones have amazing screens, great battery life, are blazing fast, and have cameras that will capture jaw-dropping photos.
Second of all, Mint Mobile is offering 50% off two years of Unlimited. Basically, you're going to use the service for free for a full year. In total, you'll pay a mere $360 for the whole thing which is impressively low.
So what phones can you get with $440 off? The very best, of course. The Samsung Galaxy S25 is usually available for $800, but you can get it for a mere $360 right now. Next one up, the Samsung Galaxy S25 usually costs a round $1,000, but you can get it for $560 at Mint Mobile.
Samsung's $1,100 Galaxy S25 Edge can now be purchased for $660, while the absolutely impressive S25 Ultra is down to $860 from its $1,300 MSRP.
If you'd rather get the Google Pixel 9 and the clean Android, know that this $800 phone is also available for $360. That's a really low price for such a stellar phone.
So there you go, the best chance to get a fantastic new phone and two years of Mint Mobile Unlimited for the price of one. This deal lasts through August 28th or while supplies last, so hurry up!

If you've had it for years, like I've had my trusty Razer Cobra Pro, there's a familiar safe feeling you get from it in games that's hard to let go of, too. A new mouse can feel awkward and put you off your best game.
While that may be so, a gaming mouse is meant to be a precision tool, and if your old familiar mouse isn't living up to expectations you're also not going to perform at your best. But how can you tell if it's time for an upgrade? These five signs will tell you.
1. It has button issues
You'll know your buttons aren't working properly if they're unresponsive or slower to actuate than normal, or if the clicks aren't smooth like they used to be (i.e. the buttons feel hard to press), or you experience double-clicking that happens unintentionally, or your macros don't work.

Yet another high-profile Xbox franchise is making the leap to PlayStation. While Halo isn't yet making the transition, Gears of War is about to join the likes of Forza Horizon 5 in crossing the divide. Gears of War: Reloaded, a remaster of the first game in the series from 2006, is coming to PS5, PC (on the Xbox PC app and Steam) and, naturally, Xbox Series X/S on August 26. However, it's not making its way to Nintendo Switch 2, at least for the time being.
The game costs $40, though it will also be on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on day one. Those who bought the digital version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition before the remaster announcement will get a free upgrade. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will also be able to play the third-person shooter on Xbox Cloud Gaming.
The Coalition, an Xbox studio that focuses on Gears of War, worked on the remaster with Sumo Interactive and Disbelief. The game includes all of the Gears of War DLC at no extra cost, including a bonus act for the campaign and all multiplayer features. There will be some characters and cosmetic items that you unlock through progression.
As ever, you can play through the campaign with a friend either online or in classic split-screen co-op. There's cross-play for all platforms with support for up to eight players in the versus multiplayer mode. If you sign in with a Microsoft account (which isn't required), you can enable cr
