The first few days of the year are typically sleepy for deals -- and 2025 is proving no different. Since most Black Friday sale prices have expired, big ticket items are back to full price, but we found a few new discounts on smaller tech and accessories from brands we recommend, like Anker, Sony, Amazon Echo and JBL. You can get an Anker charging station for 40 percent off and pick up the Apple Watch Series 10 for 329, a return to its all-time low. An Amazon Echo display is also selling for close to a record low. Here are the best tech deals from this week that you can still get today.

We show that domain-general automatic evaluators can significantly improve the performance of agents for web navigation and device control. We experiment with multiple evaluation models that trade off between inference cost, modularity of design, and accuracy. We validate the performance of these models in several popular benchmarks for digital agents, finding between 74.4 and 92.9% agreement with oracle evaluation metrics. Finally, we use these evaluators to improve the performance of existing agents via fine-tuning and inference-time guidance. Without any additional supervision, we improve state-of-the-art performance by 29% on the popular benchmark WebArena, and achieve a 75% relative improvement in a challenging domain transfer scenario.

Google turned out three new phones this past year, and we were particularly fond of the $459 Pixel 4a 5G. It has nearly all the same features as the budget-friendly Pixel 4a, but packs in a bigger screen, a second wide-angle camera and a 5G radio, making it more future-proof than its predecessor. It doesn't offer wireless charging or water resistance like the $700 Pixel 5, but then again, it costs $200 less. Here, we've recommended the best and most useful accessories for what's sure to be one of the most popular phones of the year. One of the first accessories you'll want to get for your Pixel 4a 5G (or any smartphone, really) is a case to prevent it from getting too damaged from the occasional drop.

Owners of Samsung's next flagship smartphone will not be able to be able to make use of its most exciting feature if they use a screen protector, according to the latest leak. The forthcoming phone – expected to be called the Galaxy S10 – is still a month away from being officially revealed, but a slew of leaks and rumours mean many of the key features are already known. One of the most highly-anticipated features is an in-screen fingerprint sensor, which will allow Samsung to make a full-screen device by not having to place the scanner separately at the bottom of the display or on the rear of the devive. The latest leak claims that placing a screen protector over the display will make this feature unusable. It was revealed in a tweet by Armadillotek, a US-based firm that manufactures "military grade" screen protectors for high-end Samsung smartphones.

Alexa herself has ventured into all manner of products, from bathroom mirrors to sprinkler systems, so we keep a running list of everything that works with Amazon Echo and Alexa.

A fresh set of rumors about Google's upcoming Pixel 3 claim that the phone could look a lot like the iPhone X. Images of purported screen protectors of the Pixel 3 were shared, showing both a base model and what seems to be an XL model. The regular Pixel 3 is expected to look like the Pixel 2, while the XL will get some features that resemble the iPhone X, according to Bloomberg. It's also believed that the Pixel 3 will launch in October with Verizon as its exclusive carrier. The Pixel 3 XL is expected to feature a'nearly edge-to-edge screen', aside from thicker bezel, or'chin', at the bottom of the display, Bloomberg noted. It will also feature a notch at the top of its display that's'taller' than the one included on Apple's iPhone X. Google is reportedly hoping to remove the bezels entirely in the future, but has kept them as part of the phone's design this year to make room for stereo speakers on the front of the device.
