Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra (128GB)
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra barely requires an introduction, so we'll touch on the important bits. It's a 2020 Samsung flagship launched in February this year, it's chock full of rear cameras especially since it has a 108MP shooter, and our reviewer said that the phone was 'all about extremes'.
Singapore's Galaxy S20 Ultra units have 128GB storage, and they originally retailed at S$1,898 at launch. With the Galaxy Note20 Ultra launching a month back, we did expect third-party retailers to bring their prices down a little. So imagine our surprise when we spotted this listing that's letting the Galaxy S20 Ultra go at S$1,180 (37% off!). Granted, there are very limited pieces available, but that's to be expected for a deal this good. The listing also carries S20 and S20+ units if you're interested.

That’s not all, it also discrete graphics in the form of NVIDIA’s GeForce MX250. During the 9/9 sale period, you can get it for S$1,498 and save 6% off the regular price of S$1,598.

ASUS RT-AC5300 wireless router
The ASUS RT-AC5300 might be an older router but it's a great router even by today's standard. It might support Wi-Fi 6, but ask yourself, how many of your devices do? It's a fast router, capable of supporting speeds of up to 1,000Mbps on its 2.4GHz network and 2,150Mbps each on two of its 5GHz network. It has four Gigabit Ethernet ports, of which two supports link aggregation. It also supports ASUS' AiMesh technology so you can see it with another ASUS router to create a mesh network. Unfortunately, its 9/9 sale price is undisclosed right now, but with vouchers, you should be able to bring it down considerably from its usual price of S$299. This is one router that's worth keeping tabs on.

Huawei P30 Pro
The Huawei P30 Pro comes from a simpler time. Despite it being an H1 2019 phone, it's still a decent flagship-tier mobile: quad-camera setup on the rear with a powerful 40MP primary shooter, the highest-end processor of its time (Kirin 980), and a proper 6.47-inch display. Oh, and it has Google Play Store and GMS too.
Initially retailing at S$1,398 (8GB RAM, 256GB storage), you can pick one up at Huawei's official online store on Lazada for just S$798 (about 43% off). It's quite a steal if you are a fan of Huawei's P series phones and its photography capabilities.

Sony Xperia 1 II
Remember how Sony announced that that the flagship Xperia 1 II is coming to Singapore, but didn't indicate a price nor any further details beyond what's available globally? The Japanese smartphone company quietly put up the phone for pre-orders on the Lazada website.
It's not a bad flagship phone - it's 5G-capable, has an almost-4K resolution display at 90Hz refresh rate, and it comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor and 4,000mAh battery. Too bad it's in Singapore nearly ten months after it launched at MWC 2020.
Sony will be accepting pre-orders of the Xperia 1 II at S$1,599, and they are aiming to ship it out by 2 October 2020. What makes this a deal? Sony is bundling the Sony WF-1000XM3 true wireless noise-cancelling earbuds (worth S$349), which was so good that our reviewer revised the score upwards after other brands launched their true wireless earbuds that year. They're also throwing in a free leather phone case (worth S$69). How awesome is that?

Sony WH-1000XM3
The WH-1000XM3 may no longer be Sony's flagship wireless noise-cancelling headphone, but it's still a headphone nonetheless – especially if you can get it at a deal. As part of the 9/9 shopping festival, you can get the WH-1000XM3 at a really attractive price of S$299 – that's a whopping S$250 less than the new WH-1000XM4. As great as the WH-1000XM4 is, we'll take the WH-1000XM3 in this instance and use for the savings for a great meal.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S (6GB RAM + 128GB storage)
This entry-level smartphone with excellent value for money just got even more affordable. Here's a glance at the phone's specs: it packs a decent Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor, has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card slot, and an 18W fast-charging support for its massive 5,200mAh battery. On top of all these core features for entry-level mobiles, Xiaomi still managed to put a 6.67-inch Full HD display and quad-camera setup on the rear, starting with a 48MP primary shooter.
Back at its launch, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S retailed at S$349 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. Now, you can get it at just S$290 at this local reseller on Shopee. It comes with a local one-year warranty too. It seems like there are very limited sets left, so move fast.

Apple AirPods Pro
There has been many challengers but the Apple AirPods Pro are still the best true wireless earbuds for iPhone users. Its ease of use is unrivalled and its active noise-cancelling remains top rate. However, what makes the AirPods Pro really stand out is its outstanding Transparency mode. To be clear, rival earbuds have this feature but none come close to the AirPods Pro's effectiveness and naturalness. The AirPods Pro will be going on sale for S$259, which is less than its usual price of S$379. Be sure to add this to your cart.
