Woot is running a “best of tech” sale until June 24th, and I’m pleasantly surprised there are some good ones among the dreck. My top pick for today is the Belkin BoostCharge Pro with MagSafe, selling for $32.99 ($47 off) — which includes a 27W USB-C power supply at that discounted price. Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro is a fully MagSafe-compliant magnetic charger for iPhone 12, 13, and 14 generations, and it can charge at the full 15W output (12W for the iPhone 12 / 13 Mini) just like Apple’s own MagSafe puck. But it’s better because it has a much longer nylon-wrapped cable and a little collapsible kickstand for watching videos while you charge.

You can get this same charger for slightly cheaper on Amazon right now, but it doesn’t come with the power adapter you need to achieve faster charging speeds. I’ve tested a lot of MagSafe and MagSafe-like magnetic chargers for our buying guide, and this Belkin model remains my top recommendation.

Speaking of charging, the Chipofy 6.6-foot USB-C cable with wattage display is on sale for $13.98 (about $4 off) at Amazon. That’s usually a price reserved for special sales events like Prime Day / Black Friday and on limited-time lightning deals.

The handy cable has an LED display built into it that shows the current wattage being delivered to your device. It’s great for ensuring a device is getting the fastest charge it can take, and since the cable outputs up to 100W, you can use it for phones, laptops, tablets, and most anything that charges via USB-C. You can easily find a bunch of similar cables to this one on Amazon, but the Chipofy is one of the few that a bunch of us here at The Verge have purchased and used ourselves, so we feel comfortable giving it a recommendation.

More of today’s deals on TVs, earbuds, and our top pick of video doorbells:

  • Woot is selling Samsung’s The Frame TV (2022) in sizes ranging from 32 inches to a massive 85 inches (that’s over seven feet of screen), with prices starting at $417.99 and topping out at $2,697.99 for that monster. Each one is listed as new condition with a full one-year warranty, and these are some all-time low prices for Samsung’s matte-finish TV that doubles as wall art when you’re not watching. For example, the 65-inch model — the big size most people can maybe fit in their homes — is $1,397.99 ($600 off). That’s twice as good a deal as the one offered by Best Buy and Samsung right now.
  • If you need to stock up on some USB-C power adapters, Woot is selling a two-pack of Anker Nano 20W USB-C PD chargers for $17.99 ($12 off). These kinds of deals are great for stocking up to replace any old 5W chargers that are still in your life (or the lives of less tech-inclined family and friends).
  • The noise-canceling Beats Studio Buds are on sale for their lowest price of $89.95 ($60 off) in a variety of colors at Woot. The Studio Buds are a pretty good mid-tier pair of wireless earbuds for iPhones or Android phones and are most worth picking up when on a deep discount like this one. Sadly, this deal is not on the newer Studio Buds Plus, which are better and look amazing in their see-through version, but the older model is a good buy at this price. Read our review.
  • Google’s Nest Doorbell (wired, second-gen) is on sale at Amazon for $149.99 ($30 off). The latest video doorbell from Google quickly took the top spot in our buying guide as the one we recommend to just about anyone. That’s because it offers great video quality and the option for 24/7 recording, package detection, and Google’s handy Familiar Faces feature. Read our review.
