The C50 looks like it has a fairly standard Android home screen, but you'll quickly discover there is no App Drawer out of the box. All apps are installed on the home screen, which makes for a cluttered interface. If you want to add an App Drawer, you'll have to install a third-party home screen, such as Nova Launcher, or you can simply change the Settings app. Open the Home Settings (long-press the home screen and tap the Settings icon). Next, tap Launcher Style and then enable the App Drawer. After enabling the App Drawer, you can also configure Android not to install new apps to the home screen, and you're good to go.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fi-changed-10-settings-on-my-android-phone-to-drastically-improve-battery-life\u002F\"\u003EI changed 10 settings on my Android phone to drastically improve battery life\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBattery life has been solid, too. I easily reached the end of my day on a full charge. I charged the C50 to 100% and, after light usage, found it could extend well past the 24-hour mark.

You prioritize comfort  \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of the highlights of the new Oura Ring 4 is its smart sensors. Oura Ring 4's smart sensing technology uses 18 signal pathways, compared to the Oura Ring 3's eight, to capture more accurate data with fewer gaps. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESo what does that have to do with comfort? These smart sensors allow the raised sensor domes that stick out on the Oura Ring 3's interior to flatten and recede on the Oura Ring 4 for a more comfortable and less constrictive wear. I wore the Oura Ring 3 for around eight months, and one of the few gripes I had with it was that the three domes would cling to the inside of my finger, resulting in dents that remained on my skin for days after. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fthe-best-smart-ring-ive-tested-blows-the-competition-out-of-the-water\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EI tested the Oura Ring 4 for weeks.

It's noticeably slimmer, both on the interior of the ring and the exterior, which results in a lighter feel. If you are more sensitive to health trackers around your wrist or finger and get easily annoyed with jewelry, I'd suggest the Oura Ring 4. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E 2.

Where the Oura Ring 3 offers sizes six through 13, the Oura Ring 4 offers sizes four through 15. That's four more sizes on the larger and smaller ends of the spectrum. If you couldn't buy the Oura Ring 3 because the available sizes didn't fit your finger, the Oura Ring 4 might fit you better. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E 3. You want a longer battery life  \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Oura Ring 3 boasts a battery life of up to seven days, though I normally got around four. The newer Oura Ring 4 boasts a battery life of up to eight days, but during my testing I got around 5 and a half. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you forget to charge your tech constantly and want a smart ring that you can put on for a few days and not worry about, then I'd recommend the Oura Ring 4.

This is partly because Black Friday happens months after most manufacturers like Samsung, OnePlus, Google, and Apple have launched new devices. With the amount of time that has passed, you'll often see the more recent phones discounted by a good amount at this time. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EiPhones are also cheaper during this time because carriers like Verizon offer competitive trade-in and sign-on promotions. As long as you read the fine print about the qualifications, most of these deals will cover the retail cost of the new iPhone. You'll just have to agree to a long-term installment plan that ranges between 24 months to 36 months.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhich retailer will have the best smartphone deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile Amazon has traditionally been the most competitive with its Black Friday smartphone deals, other retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target have caught up in recent years.

However, you can still find similar discounts online -- and with a higher chance of securing a product before it's snatched by someone else.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBesides big-box retailers, most carriers and e-commerce brands will also host some form of Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotion; simply visit your preferred destinations and see what's available.

Brands like Apple usually have a discount price they use during non-holiday events. For example, I've seen the price of the AirPods Pro 2 be around that $200 price range, even though its full price is $250. On a deals event day, the price dips to around $180 or less. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZDNET only writes about deals we think are actually worth your while. I know the price of every AirPods model and what they regularly discount for. So when I'm evaluating deals, I'm considering all of this before including a product in a roundup or writing a spotlight on the deal. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhere can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals? \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWrite your own unique description.

Do you want an over-ear headphone, like the AirPods Max (that is running a $150 discount right now), or a tried-and-true noise-canceling pro, like the AirPods Pro 2? Those are two of our favorite AirPods models. Other models, like the AirPods 3 and 4 offer up different fits -- both without the silicon ear tips that stabilize in your ear. The AirPods 4 is the latest model, so don't expect massive sales on the product just yet. Normally, brands will discount their older models with the best deals. That explains why the AirPods Max with the Lightning port have a $150 discount, while the new AirPods Max with the USB-C port are $100 more expensive on Amazon. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EIs there an Apple student discount available?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"decbc9b0-0f36-469b-ad40-6aa5e1e39751\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.apple.com\u002Fus-edu\u002Fshop\u002Faccessories\u002Fall\u002Feducation-savings\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"Apple Education\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E cuts down the price of select Apple products, like MacBooks and iPads, but it doesn't seem like you can get discounts on AirPods. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ECan you get free Apple Music with your AirPods?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen you purchase a new Apple device, like AirPods, you are eligible for three free months of Apple Music, the platform's streaming service. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat are the best Black Friday 2024 deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZDNET's experts have been searching through Black Friday sales live now to find the best discounts by category.

But for the most part, it is a good time to score savings on a majority of products across tons of categories, from tech to home, to name a few. Perhaps the best part about Black Friday is the enormous amount of sales occurring at nearly every major retailer, both in-store and online, giving you the best opportunity to find savings at basically everywhere you like to shop. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESemantics, mostly. Black Friday traditionally refers to the day of savings that follows Thanksgiving, which at one point was an in-stores-only event. Over the years, Black Friday sales have expanded and lengthened to include online retailers, hence \"Cyber Week\" and \"Cyber Monday.\" Cyber Monday refers to the Monday following Thanksgiving weekend, and originally referred to online savings on lots of products. These days, both Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer similar savings in-store and online. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy -- devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending.

Many products on this list were released this year and are receiving discounts for the first time since their release. Additionally, Black Friday is a great time to buy home theater bundles instead of buying pieces of your home theater setup one by one.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHistorically, Black Friday sales were reserved for in-person shopping, while Cyber Monday deals were online only. These days, more people conduct their holiday shopping online out of convenience, and retailers often offer deeper discounts when customers buy online. As a result, the lines between Black Friday and Cyber Monday have blurred, but both days are opportunities to find the latest tech at lower prices.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy, including products we've tested, recommended, and used daily. Our experts find deals on products we've previously tested and compare prices across retailers to find you the best deal. However, some products are in such high demand that their discount barely scratches 20% off. We try to find deals with at least a 20% discount, but some devices are worth the money, and a little discount is better than no discount at all.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe base our recommendations on our testing, extensive research, and comparison shopping. We aim to pair our hands-on experience with customer reviews and price comparisons to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhere can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals? \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou can find plenty of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals across many retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy, and directly from manufacturers. All retailers compete for your business this holiday season, so you can also find deals when buying directly from a manufacturer. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdditionally, some retailers throw in a gift or subscription to entice you to buy from them. For example, Sony offers individual consultations when you buy its home audio products and Bose offers a 90-day return policy and holiday price-matching.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat are the best Black Friday 2024 deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZDNET's experts have been searching through Black Friday sales live now to find the best discounts by category.
