Amazons latest Prime Day sales event has officially begun, and the deals are running rampant. Samsungs The Frame TV has been brought down to a record low price. The 55-inch model is now $978, which is a massive cut of over $650. If youve been eyeing this thing for years, it might just be time to take the plunge. For the uninitiated, The Frame TV is one-part television and one-part artistic canvas. When its not being used to binge shows and movies, it can display art prints. This is the perfect box for those who want to watch TV once in a while but dont want a giant contraption taking up the entire living room. Most visitors wont even know its a TV unless it's pointed out. Weve long sung the praises of Samsungs The Frame TV. It boasts picture-frame edges and an ultra-thin bezel, to help with the illusion. The TV also mounts flat against the wall, so it can be placed just about anywhere. There isnt even a large and ornery power cable. The TV connects via a thin wire that leads to an external receiver/port hub, which in turn goes to the power outlet. This wire is small enough to easily hide behind a plant or something, but it can also be dropped behind drywall and popped back out somewhere else. As for TV specs, this is a 4K QLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate in TV mode. This refresh rate drops to 60Hz when in canvas mode because, well, theres not that much to refresh. The matte display also limits light reflection, enhancing screen visibility in both TV and canvas mode. There are two caveats here. This sale is only for the 55-inch model, so the larger TVs will still break the bank. Also, the deal applies to just the version with the white bezel, which may not perfectly suit the aesthetics of every consumer.

Samsung is offering something extra special this Amazon Prime Day for any shoppers in the market for a new smartphone. The company is discounting its entire line of Galaxy S24 phones. That means you can snag the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for $998, which is almost 23 percent off. If the premium path isn't your style, then the Samsung Galaxy S24+ is available for $750 and the Samsung Galaxy S24 is on sale for $600. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra This is a particularly nice price cut for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which usually retails for $1,300. That means you can keep an extra $300 in your pocket and walk away with one of our top Android phones of 2024. The Ultra impressed us with the upgraded titanium frame, improved display and camera options, and AI capabilities that offered function as well as flash. Its performance from a new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC offered a 30 to 35 percent spike over the previous year's chip. One of the only downsides our review found was the price tag, so a sale like Prime Day is a great time to snap up something from the higher end of the Samsung line. Samsung Galaxy S24+ This Prime Day deal can save you $250 on the Galaxy S24+, which normally costs $1,000. The S24+ was expected to be a minor iteration on the Samsung product line, but this mid-range option provided a solid experience for customers who aren't interested in shelling out for the bleeding-edge features on top-flight, premium end of phone models. This models had respectable performance speeds in our tests, boasted a Quad HD+ screen and offered notably long battery life. The specs may not blow your mind, but it still showcased the possibilities of Samsung's Galaxy AI suite. Samsung Galaxy S24 Sometimes, you want to keep it simple. The introductory Galaxy S24 model is getting a $200 discount on its $800 baseline package for Prime Day. Like the S24+, this phone probably isn't going to be a conversation starter, but it's a solid choice for a workhorse device that gets daily use. And like its mid-range counterpart, the S24 packed solid battery performance into its 6.2-inch frame and it has a Full HD+ screen.

Uber held its second Go-Get Zero event on Tuesday to highlight some of the company's sustainability efforts. First and foremost, it says that there are now enough EV drivers using the service to make an EV-only option available (the current Uber Green includes hybrids). The all-electric Uber Green option, which will cost about the same as an UberX, will initially be available in 40 cities and the company plans to expand this over time. At the jump, US Uber users will be able to select an EV-only option in New York City, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Denver, Phoenix, San Diego, Orange County, Sacramento, Las Vegas and Palm Springs. The option will soon be available in every city in France where Uber operates, as well as locales in Australia and New Zealand. In addition, you'll be able to make EVs your preferred option for a ride. If you enable this and there's an EV available within a few minutes of a regular UberX, you'll be matched with an electric vehicle. If it's going to take much longer for an EV to pick up, Uber will send you a gas-powered vehicle instead. You'll be able to specifically request certain premium EVs during pop up events, with riders in London having the chance to take a ride in a Lotus Eletre. Between October 14 and 21, those in Los Angeles, Dallas and Miami can select a Rivian option on the homescreen to try out an R1. These pop up offerings will cost the same as an Uber Black SUV trip with Reserve. Meanwhile, the emissions savings feature is getting an update. So, when you take a ride on a bike, scooter or UberX Share, you'll see the level of emissions you've avoided. On the Uber Eats front, you'll be able to order fresh produce from farmers markets starting today in New York City and Los Angeles. There's also a new spotlighted collection of what Uber describes as "climate-conscious products" from the brands such as Credo Beauty, Allbirds and LOccitane. Elsewhere, the company says it's opening a marketplace to help Uber Eats restaurants all over the world use greener packaging. On the other side of the equation, Uber is trying to help more drivers make the switch to an EV, after offering them a variety of EV incentives for years. Starting in the US early next year, drivers can ask an AI assistant in the Uber app for personalized advice about the EV that would work best for them and the city they operate in. The chatbot, which is powered by GPT-4o, can answer questions about things like the range of a certain model and where a driver can go to charge, Uber says. Aligned with that is an EV mentorship program. Highly rated EV drivers will be able to share their experiences with those curious about switching to an electric car. They can receive cash rewards and incentives for helping out. Uber claims that EV adoption among its drivers is at least five times higher than typical motorists in the US, Canada and Europe. The monthly average number of Uber drivers in North America and Europe who use EVs now sits at more than 180,000.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/uber-is-adding-an-ev-only-option-in-many-cities-100025988.html?src=rss
