For a lot of bikers there's always some concern about a car hitting you from behind. That's where Garmin's rearview radars come into play, warning you that cars are approaching. Now Garmin is adding a video element to the equation with its new Varia RCT715 ($400), which has both a built-in taillight as well as a camera with 1080p capture capabilities.

The RCT715 is the third model in Garmin's Varia line of cycling radars, which includes two models we reviewed a couple of years ago: The taillight-equipped RTL515 ($200) and the radar-only RVR315 ($150) for those who already own a taillight. 

All the rearview radar models are designed to be paired and send visual information to Garmin's Edge cycling computers (and other bike computers from companies like Wahoo), Garmin's smartwatches and smartphones using the Varia app for iOS or Android. Meanwhile, Garmin says the built-in camera on the RCT715 continuously records your surroundings and "provides video evidence of an incident," should you ever need it.

No, the RCT715 isn't cheap at $400, but it should give you some additional peace of mind while riding and hopefully we'll see some discounts on it that bring its price down a bit. 

• Built-in camera captures footage at up to 1080p/30 fps during a ride
• If an incident is detected, video footage from before, during and after the event will automatically be saved.
• Easily access video footage, transfer videos or customize camera settings, such as data overlays from the Varia app.
• Visual and audible notifications warn of vehicles approaching from behind, up to 153 yards away.
• The taillight can be seen up to a mile away, which can make it easier for drivers to see a cyclist before the radar sees the vehicle.
• Compatible with a Garmin Edge cycling computers, Garmin smartwatches or the Varia smart device app.
• Battery life: Up to 4 hours of battery life with radar and taillight on solid high or night flash and up to 6 hours with radar and taillight on day flash -- all with the camera continuously recording at 1080p.
• Price: $400

The number of malicious apps mobile security firm Lookout has identified in less than six months has doubled to 1,000, according to a report from Lookout to be released tonight.

The vast majority of those dubious apps are found on third-party app stores and alternatives to the official Android Market, the company said.

"2011 has seen the emergence of a credible field of Android malware with a 4 percent yearly likelihood of an Android user encountering malware, which was a significant increase compared to the beginning of the year. In the beginning of 2011 we measured a 1 percent yearly likelihood," Lookout says in its report, titled "Malwarenomics: 2012 Mobile Malware Predictions."

"The U.S. is in the middle of the pack in terms of mobile malware compared to other countries, including Russia, Israel and China," said Derek Halliday, senior security product manager at Lookout.

Meanwhile, Android users are increasingly at risk--like users on all mobile platforms are--of unwittingly clicking on links that lead to malware and phishing sites.

"The global yearly likelihood of an Android user clicking on an unsafe link is 36 percent (6 percent higher than July 2011)," the report says. "In the United States, the likelihood is higher than the global average at 40 percent."

Lookout also has detected a rise in the amount of what it calls "mobile pickpocketing," apps and malware that surreptitiously charge fees to the phone owner, including GGTracker, which signs phones up for premium text message subscription services without the owner's knowledge. There's also the RuFraud apps that pose as free versions of wallpaper or popular games but hide terms of service that allow the developers to sign the phones up for expensive SMS rates.

The Lookout report predicts that we'll see more of these threats, as well as increased use of: mobile phones in botnets to send spam and steal data; malware that exploits weaknesses in mobile operating systems; browser-based attacks; malware hiding in mobile advertisements; and tools that allow for automatic repackaging of legitimate apps to add malware.

Lookout cautions against using third-party app stores and clicking on in-app ads, and advices caution when clicking on apps that ask you to click "OK," as well as when clicking on shortened URLs. In addition, people should check reviews on gaming, utility and porn apps before downloading them because they are the types of apps most likely to contain malware.

An anxiety attack can be a frightening experience. You may feel like you can't breathe, that your heart is racing too quickly, your head is spinning and you can't control your thoughts. Anxiety attacks are often accompanied by or triggered by feelings of doom or fear, and it can feel like the anxiety will never end. 

Even when it seems like you can't stop the spiral, you can: With the right tactics, you can learn how to control and prevent anxiety attacks. It's much more complex, however, than the "don't panic" and "just breathe" statements often given as advice for managing anxiety, licensed psychotherapist Haley Neidich says. 

Note that you needn't be diagnosed with anxiety or another mental health condition to have an anxiety attack: Anyone can experience an anxiety attack even in the absence of a psychiatric diagnosis, and everyone can benefit from knowing how to control one in the case one occurs. 

Also note that there's a difference between an anxiety attack and a panic attack. A panic attack is clearly defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders, while an anxiety attack is not. 

One of the biggest differences between the two is that panic attacks often occur without warning and may be triggered by an external fear, such as a phobia you come into contact with, but panic attacks can occur without any triggers. Anxiety attacks, on the other hand, often build over time and are often triggered by an internal fear or feeling of doom, such as what might happen when thinking about the coronavirus pandemic. 

The lack of diagnostic criteria doesn't make anxiety attacks invalid; it just means that symptoms are more open to interpretation and that there's an opportunity to uncover anxiety-inducing triggers.

With that, here's how to tell if you're having an anxiety attack and how to stop or control it.

Signs of an anxiety attack

If you haven't had an anxiety attack before, you may not even know what to look out for. Even if you do experience anxiety attacks regularly, the signs leading up to an anxiety attack can change, leaving you bewildered if one time feels different than the last. 

"While many people can easily identify their triggers and early warning signs, it is something that can take time and support," Neidich explains. "Some people will experience anxiety attacks that seem to come out of nowhere and they may require professional support from a psychotherapist in order to help them identify the more subtle and underlying issues that are contributing." 

That said, and although everyone experiences anxiety attacks differently, Neidich says a few omnipresent signs show up in most people. 

"The most common early symptom is anxious thinking, particularly thinking rooted in 'what ifs' which typically lead people down a dark mental path," Neidich says. "This can happen slowly or quickly, depending on the external environment and vulnerability factors of an individual."

Racing thoughts and physiological symptoms like a racing heart, difficulty breathing and gastrointestinal disturbance are all telltale signs of an anxiety attack or severe anxiety in general, Neidich says. 

"Anxiety attacks can be a terrifying experience as people often report feeling as if they are dying or having a heart attack during the episode," she says. "For this reason, many people who have experienced an anxiety attack will develop a fear of having another one, only compounding their underlying anxiety."

That's all the more reason that recognizing the early symptoms of an anxiety attack are key in preventing and controlling them, Neidich reiterates.

How to deal with an anxiety attack

It can be difficult to stop an anxiety attack entirely once it's started, but you can take some steps to control anxiety attacks, reduce the severity of symptoms and decrease their frequency. Neidich shares five tips for controlling and coping with anxiety attacks. 

1. Distraction

"Distraction is the No. 1 tool for managing an anxiety attack once it has gotten started," Neidich says. She adds that paying too much attention to your body -- like trying to breathe deeply, as is often recommended -- can make your symptoms worse. 

Instead, Neidich says, "Once you've identified that an anxiety attack has started, it's time to distract yourself while you wait for it to pass. Put on a funny movie, grab a coloring book, go for a walk, listen to a podcast, put on your anxiety-soothing playlist or call a friend and tell them you need to talk about something else."

As you discover tools that work for you, keep a running list in the notepad on your phone, so if you find yourself unsure of what to do, you can simply scroll through that list. As for finding distraction tools, Neidich says that just about anything will work as long as it doesn't make your anxiety worse. 

"Social media makes many people's anxiety worse, yet I just had someone mention to me that watching dance videos on TikTok helped them to get through an anxiety attack," Neidich says as an example. "We are all individual and need to take the time to figure out what will improve our symptoms."

2. Aftercare 

Aftercare is how you soothe yourself once the anxiety attack is abating, Neidich says. This can include tactics similar to distractions, such as taking a walk, journaling or calling someone. If you choose to call someone, Neidich says make sure it's someone who "knows not to ask you why you had the anxiety attack" (see tip No. 4 for more on that). 

"Once the peak of the anxiety attack has occured," Neidich says, "using grounding techniques to feel more present in your body is a big part of aftercare." 

Try these grounding techniques Neidich recommends: 

• Hug a tree or touch other plant life
• Go for a slow walk
• Drink herbal tea
• Do a slow, relaxing yoga flow
• Write in a journal
• Listen to music 
• Practice breathing techniques (only after anxiety begins to subside)

Neidich also offers a visualization exercise to help: Once your anxiety starts to dissipate, visualize yourself as a tree with roots growing into the ground as "a powerful way to begin to ground."

3. Daily meditation 

The prevailing sentiment that meditation and deep breathing can or should be used to stop an anxiety attack can actually be harmful, Neidich says. 

"Meditation and deep breathing are typically poor skills to use once an anxiety attack has already started and can, in fact, make things much worse," she says. "Instead, people who have anxiety should be meditating twice per day in order to decrease their overall anxiety so that they can more effectively identify worsening anxiety symptoms."

Neidich notes that it's common for people to say "I know I should meditate" and then ignore meditation as a potential tool -- but "daily meditation has the potential impact of stopping anxiety attacks completely and the recommendation should be taken very seriously," she says. 

It's true, meditation is known to reduce stress, anxiety, depression and emotional pain, as well as build resilience, or your ability to bounce back from stressful or painful situations.

4. Lean on effective support people

A network of support people is essential to managing anxiety, Neidich says, but those support people must be effective in helping you cope -- that is, they should make you feel better, not worse. 

Lean on people who can offer you the kind of support you personally need, like physical touch or an ear to listen to how you feel. Avoid anyone who asks you why you had an anxiety attack. After an anxiety attack or on the fringes of one, it's important to not talk about the cause behind it, Neidich says, pointing back to distraction techniques.

It's important to be clear on what you need from your loved ones in regard to anxiety, Neidich says -- it's a "huge part of a comprehensive anxiety-management plan." 

"Be sure to talk ahead of time about what language is and is not helpful," Neidich says, noting that it's not someone else's responsibility to help you with your anxiety attack, but it is your responsibility to communicate your needs.

It is not easy to find an ultralight laptop that still feels sturdy but Asus pulls it off with the Zenbook S 13 OLED. At 1 kilogram (2.4 pounds), the 13.3-inch laptop is lighter than the MacBook Air (M1 and M2) -- ideal for tossing in a backpack or shoulder bag without a second thought. Despite its compact footprint, Asus squeezed in a spacious keyboard and a big touchpad that doubles as a number pad when you need it. The 2.8K-resolution OLED touch display is exquisite for productivity, entertainment and creative pursuits, too. And although OLED screens typically put a big hurt on battery life, that's not the case here with the Zenbook S 13 OLED getting more than 12 hours during our streaming video test. 

Overall performance is strong from its AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor backed with 16GB of fast DDR5 memory and an equally speedy 1TB SSD, keeping it competitive with others in its class such as the MacBook Air M2, Dell XPS 13 Plus and Acer Swift 5. (Check out the benchmark test results at the end of this review.) The thing is these components put out a lot of heat when the laptop gets cranking. Even with the fans blowing full bore, the bottom of the Zenbook S 13 will roast your lap. When you need the laptop's full power, use it on a desk. 

Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302)

Price as reviewed	$1,300
Display size/resolution	13.3-inch 2,880x1,800 OLED touch display
CPU	2.7GHz AMD Ryzen 7 6800U
Memory	16GB DDR5 6,400MHz RAM
Graphics	512MB AMD Radeon Graphics
Storage	1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD
Connections	USB-C (x3, USB 3.2 Gen 2), 3.5mm combo audio jack
Networking	Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.0
Operating system	Windows 11 Pro 21H2

The ultralight magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis design, the OLED display and high-quality components mean the Zenbook S 13 isn't cheap; the configuration I tested is $1,300 (£1,300, AU$1,661). Consider the 14-inch HP Pavilion Plus if you don't mind trading some extra size, weight and less battery life to save a few hundred dollars. The bigger issue is that even if you want to spend the money for the Asus, you might not be able to find one. As of this review, the laptop is listed on Best Buy, Amazon and B&H but only the last one seems to have stock. 

Asus always does a great job of packing some extra features into its laptops to help them stand out. You might be attracted to the brilliant and bright OLED, the 1kg weight and speedy components, but it's things like Asus' NumberPad 2.0 that make the difference. Tap on the calculator icon in the touchpad's upper right corner and a number pad appears on the touchpad so you can quickly input numbers or bang out a calculation or two. Plus, the software can tell the difference between entering numbers and using it as a touchpad, so you don't have to turn the feature on and off.

Then there's Asus' GlideX app, which mirrors or extends the Zenbook's display onto an Android tablet or phone, or an iPhone or iPad -- wired or wirelessly. Install the complementary Android or iOS app on your phone or tablet and after a simple setup, your mobile device is now an extra screen for the laptop. The mirroring option makes it possible to use mobile apps on the Zenbook's screen, too.

The Zenbook S 13 OLED also has function row hotkeys for taking screenshots and instantly killing the built-in mics and webcam to help protect privacy. Speaking of, the webcam is just 720p instead of the 1080p cams found in most premium laptops now. However, while it gives you less detail than a higher-resolution camera, the overall picture quality is quite good. The speakers sound surprisingly full, too, helped by Dolby Atmos. 

Other nice touches include a fingerprint reader built into the power, support for using Asus' active pen on the touchscreen and, though the laptop only has three high-speed USB-C, Asus includes a USB-C-to-USB-A adapter as well as a laptop sleeve. Even the ultracompact 65-watt USB-C fast-charge adapter is nice (though like the laptop it gets pretty hot while charging). 

The Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED is just a superb little laptop. If you want something lighter than a MacBook Air with a wide color gamut display, good performance and battery life and a smattering of convenient features, it's an easy recommendation. Here's hoping Asus can get supply up so people can more easily find it.

Adobe released an enormously important feature for its Lightroom photo editing software on Tuesday, a masking tool that uses AI to select elements in a scene for much more sophisticated changes to color, tone and exposure.

The first version of Lightroom permitted changes only to the entire photo, but in 2008 Adobe added an ability to make local adjustments that affected only a portion of the image. Those changes were based on mathematical constructs, though, like a gradient that phased in a brighter exposure from the bottom of the image to the top. The new masking technology generates a region for editing pixel by pixel for much more refined editing.

Masking has been around for decades in Lightroom's sibling, Photoshop. What makes it different in Lightroom now is that Adobe uses AI -- artificial intelligence systems trained on 500,000 real-world photos -- to automatically pick out photo regions instead of making you do the manual labor. The new version of Lightroom, released in conjunction with the Adobe Max conference, can automatically select skies and make its best guess at what the subject of a photo is.

The feature marks the steady progress of AI, in particular an approach called machine learning that's modeled loosely on human brains. The technology's utility in recognizing patterns in complex real-world data like speech, photographs and video has chipmakers scrambling to accelerate this increasingly important style of computing.

The masking technology, which Adobe previewed earlier this month, brings significant new complexity to Lightroom. A new masking panel lets you name masks, invert them, add to them or subtract from them and combine them into groups.

Lightroom is designed for editing and cataloging photos, a more advanced alternative to services like Google Photos and Apple Photos. The masking ability makes it a better alternative to another high-end option, Phase One's Capture One.

Other improvements include:

-- A speedup when applying a change to a group of photos and generating the resulting new preview images in Lightroom Classic.

-- Optimized support for raw-format photos from the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro smartphones and the Canon EOS R3 mirrorless camera in Lightroom and Lightroom Classic.

-- A customizable metadata panel to pare down or plump up which options like captions, location data and copyright Lightroom displays in Lightroom Classic.

-- On MacOS, videos and slideshows should play faster in Lightroom Classic.

Samsung is bringing its new $300 Galaxy A23 5G phone to the US, which adds another model into the company's A-series of cheaper phones. The phone is the latest to target budget-conscious customers amid growing competition in the affordable phone space from Google and Apple. It also comes as inflation has impacted smartphone shipments. The Galaxy A23 5G will be available on Sept. 1 through Samsung, AT&T, T-Mobile and other retailers.

Samsung previously announced the Galaxy A23 5G, but it's only just now bringing it to the US market. At $300, the A23 is cheaper than the $400 Galaxy A42 5G but slightly more expensive than the $250 Galaxy A13 5G. It's also priced in line with the OnePlus Nord N20 5G, which is also $300. 

The Galaxy A23 5G has a 6.6-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, making it roughly the same size as many of Samsung's other A-series phones. Unlike Samsung's pricier devices, there's a V-shaped notch for the front camera rather than a more subtle hole-punch cutout. 

Although the Galaxy A23 5G technically has four rear cameras, it's really the 50-megapixel main camera that's worth paying attention to. The ultrawide camera has just a 5-megapixel sensor, which means the resolution may not be very sharp. Similarly, there's also a 2-megapixel macro lens for taking close up shots and a 2-megapixel depth lens. While those latter three cameras have a lower resolution, it's fairly common at this price for just the main camera to get the best specs. The front selfie camera has an 8-megapixel resolution. 

Like many of Samsung's A-series phones, the Galaxy A23 5G has a 5,000 mAh battery. When testing Samsung's under-$200 Galaxy A phones, my colleague Mike Sorrentino said he was able to get through about two days with that battery capacity. Keep in mind, however, that none of those phones support 5G while the A23 does. Boosting the A23 5G's refresh rate, which enables smoother scrolling, will also likely drain the battery faster. 

The Galaxy A23 5G runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 695 processor, the same chip found inside the similarly priced OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G and the N20 5G. There's 64GB of internal storage, which is a step up from the 32GB of storage found on Samsung's sub-$200 phones like the Galaxy A03S and matches the $250 Galaxy A13 5G. But like that phone, the Galaxy A23 5G also comes with a microSD card slot that allows for up to 1TB of expandable storage. 

Although Samsung's Galaxy S phones and foldable devices draw the most attention, its Galaxy A line has been successful. The Galaxy A series made up 58% of Samsung's overall smartphone sales in 2021, according to data from Counterpoint Research provided to CNET.

But Samsung is also facing more competition from rivals like Google and Apple. Google's $449 Pixel 6A, which directly competes with the $450 Galaxy A53 5G, was well received by critics. Apple also launched the third-generation $429 iPhone SE in March.

Still, consumers are craving even more affordable devices as inflation has impacted smartphone demand, reports market research firm Canalys Research. Brian Lynch, an analyst with Canalys Research, said in a recent report that devices that cost between $250 and $600 like the iPhone SE, Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 performed poorer than expected. Meanwhile, demand for lower-end devices is remaining solid, according to Lynch's report. The Galaxy A23 5G is part of Samsung's effort to further reach consumers in the US looking to spend well below $500 on a new 5G phone.

The first Honda Civic Type R to come to the US was so obscenely delightful that it quickly became a favorite among critics and car geeks alike. Honda has teased its successor for some time now, following the debut of the 11th-generation Civic on which it's based, and the automaker's latest video offers some proof as to the hot hatch's performance chops.

Honda on Thursday published a new video, embedded above, of the upcoming 2023 Civic Type R tackling the Nürburgring Nordschleife. It's not a full 'Ring run, but rather a stylized smattering of clips where the hot hatch is absolutely caning it around the notoriously long and arduous racetrack. Its signature triple tailpipes return for another generation, and the song spitting forth sounds pretty easy on the ears.

We've seen the Civic Type R in action before, most recently at Suzuka by way of a video released at the Tokyo Auto Salon trade show in January. Details are still extremely light, and we have no idea what's under the hood, or how much power it's putting out. But we don't have much longer to wait, and details will likely start pouring forth once the camouflage comes off.

For context, the outgoing Type R uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 to send 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.

2022 is shaping up to be quite the busy year for Honda. In addition to the Type R's debut, we have new versions of the Accord, CR-V and Pilot to look forward to. We've also taken a spin in the brand spankin' new 2023 HR-V, and we can't wait to tell you all about that little guy in the near future.

Windows 11 kicked off its gradual rollout to eligible devices last month, meaning that Windows 10 will eventually retire with Windows 7 in the graveyard of Microsoft operating systems. But if you're still using Microsoft's older OS, don't stress. Microsoft will continue to support Windows 10 until Oct. 14, 2025. (The Windows 10 November 2021 update is now available.) That gives you about four years to prepare as Microsoft slowly moves its billion-plus Windows users to Windows 11. 

The company's new OS will continue the Windows 11 rollout through mid-2022. You can expect a brand-new design that borrows a Mac-like look and includes updated features. For instance, the Windows Start Menu gets a refresh that moves it to a different place on the screen and a few productivity features that can help with multitasking. There's also a change to make Android apps more readily available on Windows 11 coming soon.

As many people prepare to update their Windows laptops and desktops to the latest software, what happens to PCs still running Windows 10 in 2025? We'll explain. And here are some big differences between Windows 10 and Windows 11 that you can look forward to. This story was recently updated.

What does it mean for Microsoft to end support for Windows 10?

As it did with Windows 7 in January 2020, Microsoft will pull active support for Windows 10 in 2025. You'll still be able to use the software, but you won't get any more security updates. There also won't be any new features added to the software. Instead, Microsoft is shifting its focus to Windows 11, which comes with Android apps, desktop widgets and new Xbox gaming features for the PC.

Will I have to switch to Windows 11? 

Probably not. Many people are still running Windows 7 and 8 on their computers and never switched to Windows 10. However, it's recommended to use the most up-to-date software so you get security updates. Without security updates, your computer is at risk for malware and other vulnerabilities that can expose you to hacks, viruses and more. 

Will Windows 11 be completely free to upgrade?

Yes. Free upgrades to eligible Windows 10 PCs will be available from Oct. 5. The free upgrades will continue into 2022. If you're still running Windows 7 but want to upgrade to Windows 11, you'll first need to upgrade to Windows 10 to be eligible.

When will Windows 11 support end?

Since Windows 11 is so new, we likely won't have an answer to that for years to come. When support ends, Microsoft 10 will have been around for 10 years, so Windows 11 could have a similar timeline.

For more about Windows 11, here's how to download the new operating system and how to check if your computer is compatible. You can also take a look at how what you should do before downloading Windows 11. 

Apple has a few different models of the iPad, but the iPad Pro is by far its most advanced. Its high-tech hardware lets it compete with some lower-level laptops. It's sleek and versatile, but also quite pricey -- a problem that's not helped by the fact that Apple almost never drops the price on its products directly. 

If you're looking to snag one of these powerful tablets for less, your best bet is to opt for a previous generation. They're not very easy to track down new, but right now, Woot has a selection of factory reconditioned models that you can pick up for hundreds less than list price. This sale runs now through Friday, Aug. 19, but with limited quantities of these refurb models, there's a good chance they could start to sell out before then. 

According to Woot, factory reconditioned means that an item was returned, inspected and restored to fully working condition. Every device in this sale was refurbished by Apple, but they do not include a power adapter, so you will have to buy one separately. However, the devices are covered by a 60-day warranty (PDF), just in case anything goes wrong. 

There are a few different generations available at this sale, with low prices on refurbished models. If you want a powerful iPad without springing for a brand-new fifth-gen iPad Pro, this a good option to consider. The third-gen iPad Pro was originally released back in 2018, but is still more than sufficient for web browsing and light work. It's equipped with Apple's A12X Bionic chip with an eight-core CPU and seven-core GPU, and a 12.9-inch Liquid Retina display with identical resolution to the step-up fourth-gen model. This third-gen 12.9-inch model starts at just $510 for the 64GB version, with multiple storage options if you want to upgrade. (That hugely undercuts Apple's own Certified Refurbished site, by the way, which starts at $629 for the same model.)

If you're looking to save a little more money, you might consider the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2. Starting at $400, this iPad Pro boasts some pretty impressive specs and features for significantly less than the comparable most recent models. It's equipped with a stunning LED-backlit display, as well as a 12-megapixel camera for 4K video recording. It has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 support for fast and seamless connectivity, and a battery life of up to 10 hours for all-day work and play.

And if what you want is an Apple tablet that can handle the day to day, Woot has you covered with the 10.5-inch model that came out in 2017 for $300, or the 11-inch Pro, which was released the following year, coming in at $480 to start.

For the most budget-friendly of the lot, the petite 9.7-inch iPad Pro from 2016 starts at just $180. Keep in mind, however, that with older models you'll lack some of the more modern features of the aforementioned options, and it won't receive software updates for as long. Shop the entire sale selection at Woot to find a model at the size and capacity you're looking for, or check out other iPad deals available now.

This story is part of Amazon Prime Day, CNET's guide to everything you need to know and how to find the best deals.

Amazon Prime Day is here, and if you're shopping for a new Android phone there are plenty of deals to consider. Most notably, all three models in Samsung's Galaxy S22 lineup are on sale. The high-end Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Plus are available at a 30% discount, while the Galaxy S22 is on sale for 24% off. But don't forget to check out our Prime Day live blog and Anti Prime Day deals coverage for the most up-to-date deals on Amazon and elsewhere. 

If you've been eyeballing a foldable phone, you're also in luck this Prime Day. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is 39% off through Amazon, while the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is 30% off. Just keep in mind there's a chance Samsung could announce new versions of its foldable devices in August, if it maintains its launch pattern from previous years. 

Within the Galaxy S22 lineup, we generally recommend the Galaxy S22 Plus as the right choice for most people as it has the right balance of screen size, battery life and camera functionality. The Galaxy S22 Plus, meanwhile, is ideal for those who want a giant screen and one of the best mobile cameras around, while the Galaxy S22 is better suited for those who prefer smaller devices. You'll also find compelling deals on Samsung's midrange phones, including the Galaxy S21 FE, which is 30% off. 

We'll be covering Prime Day deals throughout the event, so be sure to check back for the latest deals and updates. Check out our roundups of the best deals under $25 and best deals under $50 if you're shopping on a budget.
