The best 4th of July sales 2022: the hottest tech deals from Amazon ... (Android Central)

See today's hottest 4th of July sales all in one place as we check out the latest live deals for phones, TVs, wearables, and more today.

You can now get this prestigious, multi-award-winning OLED TV for well under $1000. The 48-inch model is now just $796.99 at Amazon, saving you a huge $703 off the MSRP. You can save $30 today on both the 40mm and 44mm versions of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 at Best Buyand pick them up for $220/$250 respectively. You can get a version with half the RAM and storage for $299, but I certainly wouldn't go that way given my personal experience with these laptops as I'm using an 8GB one right now. Well, if you're looking to upgrade, this is a great time to jump in as Samsung is running its promotion where you'll get $100 Samsung credit and can knock off up to $1000 from the price by trading in an older device. Sure, it's far from stylish with bezels for days and a small 11.6-inch display and 4GB of RAM means multitasking capabilities will be modest to say the least. In addition to finally creating an operating system that works in sync with Google's Play Store apps the Watch 4 has excellent fitness and health features like heartbeat and blood oxygen monitoring and in-depth sleep measurements that are incredibly accurate. A few retailers are running the same promotion today, so take your pick from Dell,Best Buy, and Walmart. They're a comfortable fit too and much more affordable than the arguably more exercise-friendly (but $200) Beats Fit Pro. Just go easy on the number of Chrome tabs running at once and you should be fine. Directly below we've linked to sale sections that have caught our eye so far and below those, we'll be dropping in select spotlight deal highlights on particular items with the best prices to be found online today.

Five people died and 16 were hospitalized in the attack on the parade in a northern Chicago suburb, the Highland Park Police said. The timing of a trip by Lisa O. Monaco, the No. 2 law enforcement official in the United States, to Philadelphia in late June, with the heat setting in over the city, was noteworthy. The bangs, he said, that “everyone seemed to confuse it with fireworks” — and then the crowds running. He saw a woman “completely bloody,” he said and multiple people, including a child, injured or dead. And I saw the bullets hitting the tree that was like literally in front of us.” The shooting, he said, led to a “horrific” scene of terrified people and bloodied bodies. He estimated the family was sitting in chairs about 20 feet away from the gunman, who was on the roof of a cosmetics store firing down. The family reached a building and hugged a wall to try to escape the gunman’s line of sight. Representative Brad Schneider, who represents Highland Park, a northern Chicago suburb, in Congress, said he was at the start of the parade when someone began to shoot. Miles Zaremski, 73, a Highland Park resident who was at the parade, said in an interview that he heard what sounded like gunshots from an automatic rifle. He said SWAT teams were going door to door in the area. Police said they believed the gunman, who was not in custody, had fired from a rooftop, using a rifle.
