Prime Day, Amazon’s four-day thunderdome of exclusive deals, is here. Outside of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we anticipate this to be the best moment of the year to score discounts on headphones, laptops, TVs, gaming gear, and really anything else that might be on your wishlist — or someone else’s. We sorted through thousands of deals, ultimately narrowing it down to including products we’ve tried (many of which we’ve reviewed) and can vouch for.
To repeat, there will be four — count ’em — four days of deals aimed at Prime subscribers, which means you have double the amount of time to save this year. We don’t expect each new day to wipe the slate clean of previous deals and introduce brand-new ones; however, there will likely be some time-sensitive lighting discounts added at intervals throughout, sprinkled on like a garnish. Also, some big retailers outside of Amazon, including Walmart and Best Buy, are also slashing prices, so we’ve added more purchasing options whenever possible.

The new foldable also lies flat when opened, sports IPX8 weather resistance, and offers a thinner design than the last-gen model. Read our review.
$500
The OnePlus 13R is a pared-down version of the company’s flagship phone, and it offers excellent battery life and a great screen for the price. Read our review.
$800
The Galaxy S25 Edge offers a big screen without all the heft of a typical big phone. Battery life is just okay, and the phone lacks a telephoto camera, but otherwise, it’s a remarkable device. Read our review.
$950

There are also discounts available on the 256GB version, which is currently selling for $659.99. This beats the previous low by about $25. Read our review.

The 256GB model is going for $699.99 (originally $999) at Amazon, while the 512GB version is down to $819.99 ($300 off). Both discounts are $50 lower than the ones we’ve previously seen.

Prices over $1,000 may still seem high, though both discounts are $200 less than we’ve seen for this model. Read our review.
- Samsung makes great cheap phones, in case you didn’t know. The Galaxy A36 5G — which features a 6.7-inch OLED screen, water resistance, and six years of software updates — is available with 128GB of storage at Amazon for $299.99 ($100 off), which is a nice lil’ discount that beats its previous low of $334.

$599
The MacBook Air is Apple’s budget-friendly laptop from 2020. It comes outfitted with the company’s M1 chip, which offers terrific performance, even if it’s not as fast as Apple’s newer models. It also sports all-day battery life, Touch ID, and MagSafe charging. Read our review.
- If it’s a gorgeous 2-in-1 Windows laptop that you’re after, Samsung’s 16-inch Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 might tick a lot of boxes for you. It has a 2,880 x 1,800 OLED touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate (with an S-Pen included). It also features an Intel Core 7 Ultra 256V processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

- LG’s compact 14-inch Gram with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD is going for $1,299.99 at Amazon — $200 less than its previous low. LG’s Gram laptops are known for being lightweight, yet they also feature long battery life and a fantastic keyboard / trackpad combo.
- For gamers, Asus has discounted select models from its 2025 ROG Strix G16 lineup for the first time — including an RTX 5060-equipped laptop, which currently runs $1,274.99 ($225 off) at Amazon. If you want something even more powerful, Amazon is also selling one with an RTX 5070 Ti for $1,999.99 (was $2,400).

- If you’d prefer the larger 13-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip, there are deals for you, too. The 256GB / Wi-Fi model is currently available at Amazon for $779.99 ($120 off), beating the previous lowest price by $20.
- Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, which allows you to better balance fun with productivity, is now available at Amazon starting at $189.99 ($135 off) in its 64GB configuration. It boasts a 10.1-inch screen, expandable storage via microSD, and includes an S-Pen for drawing or taking notes. It originally sold for $329.99, but it’s sometimes available for around $210.
- If you’re looking for an Android tablet that delivers high-end entertainment and gaming experiences, consider the Galaxy Tab S10 FE, which is available at Amazon with 128GB storage for a new low of $429.99 ($70 off). This 10.9-inch tablet boasts a 90Hz refresh rate screen, and its Exynos 1580 should be able to handle a large number of games. It also includes an S-Pen, along with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty. Notably, it’s IP68 rated, so it should be able to handle the elements like a champ.
- Amazon’s entry-level Kindle from 2024 is considerably better than bargain ebook readers used to be. It features longer battery life, a brighter screen, deeper contrast, and other gen-to-gen improvements. And thanks to Prime Day, you can snag it at Amazon in one of two colors with ads and three months of Kindle Unlimited for $84.99 ($25 off), which is the lowest price we’ve seen on the entry-level e-reader.
- Amazon’s latest Kindle Scribe has been available at Amazon with 16GB of storage starting at $259.99 ($140 off) since before Prime Day started, but it’s still a solid deal if you’re looking for a large e-reader that doubles as a smart notebook. Its previous low was $299.99, and it originally sold for $399.99. Read our review.
- Amazon makes a bunch of different tablets, which are nearly all discounted right now. If you’re looking for an affordable 10-inch tablet for watching movies and TV shows on, the latest Fire HD 10 tablet is a great, cheap candidate. It’s on sale at Amazon right now with lockscreen ads and 32GB of storage starting at $69.99 (originally $139.99).
$180
The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is Amazon’s first e-reader with a color display. It also boasts 32GB of storage, waterproofing, and support for wireless charging. Read our review.
$249
Google’s 11-inch Pixel Tablet uses the same Tensor G2 chip found in the Pixel 7 lineup. It also features a crisp LCD display and a four-speaker sound array. Read our review.
$125
Amazon’s latest Paperwhite features a larger seven-inch display and noticeably faster performance. It also boasts longer battery life than the previous model, retains IPX8 waterproofing, and includes a USB-C port. Read our review.
- The most affordable 48-inch OLED TV we’ve seen during Prime Day isn’t available at Amazon — it’s at Walmart, where you can pick up LG’s B4 OLED for just $599.99 ($200 off). However, at Amazon, Sony’s 48-inch A90K is down to $998 ($400 off), beating its previous low by hundreds of dollars.
- Leveling up in size, picture quality, and screen brightness is Sony’s 65-inch A95K QD-OLED, which is on sale at Amazon for $1,498 ($2,012 off). It previously sold for $2,898, which is more than most people likely want to spend on a 65-inch OLED. However, this deal’s much better.
- Samsung’s 65-inch Frame Pro is down to $1,897.99 ($50 off) at Amazon, which is a relatively small discount given the TV’s previous low. However, it initially sold for around $2,199.99. The step-up model boasts an impressive Mini LED panel, along with a jump from 120Hz to 144Hz. The biggest upgrade, however, is arguably the wireless connect box, which wirelessly streams any and all HDMI video inputs straight to the TV.
- Looking for an affordable TV with Roku software to make it easy to access streaming apps? The company’s own 55-inch 4K smart TV is down to just $249.99 at Amazon right now. It’s never sold for less than $299.99 before, so these are some solid savings on a relatively budget-friendly set.
$45
The newer Echo Spot is an excellent smart alarm clock with decent sound for its size and no camera. It features Amazon’s smart voice assistant for voice control and is worthy of a spot on your nightstand. Read our review.
- For the first time since Black Friday, a three-pack of Google’s shiny Nest WiFi Pro routers — all of which support Wi-Fi 6E — are down to $289.99 at Amazon. This kit typically sells for around $372. Read our review.
- For $199.99, you can get a three-pack of TP-Link’s Deco XE75 routers at Amazon. Like Google’s Nest WiFi Pro, these tri-band routers support the 6GHz band. However, each XE75 sports a 2.5Gbps port (plus two other gigabit ethernet ports), while Google’s option tops out at 1Gbps and only has two gigabit ports per router.
- If you’re looking for a high-end router that supports ludicrously fast wired connections, as well as great wireless connections, Eero’s Max 7 is one of the best. You can purchase a single router at Amazon right now for $419.99 (it had previously not sold for less than $449.99). Alternatively, you can grab a three-pack at Amazon for $1,189.99 (was $1,699.99). This model offers tri-band support and features two 10Gbps ethernet ports, as well as two 2.5Gbps ports, on each router.
- Air quality is important, and it’s nice to have a reading that’s more local than what your phone gives you for your neighborhood. For a granular look at the air quality in your home, you can snag Amazon’s aptly titled Air Quality Monitor, which is currently matching its all-time low of $44.99 ($25 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. Read our review.
- If you’re all-in with Philips Hue, to the point that its smart home accessories have invaded your living room, perhaps you’ll want the high-end sync box that lets select Philips Hue products sync directly with what’s on your TV’s screen. The Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K is available for $244.99 ($104 off) at Amazon — a significant discount when compared to its previous low of $334.99.
$52
Developed in partnership with Resideo, the Amazon Smart Thermostat allows you to control the temperature of your home through Alexa voice controls and remotely via an app. Read our review.
- The battery-powered Google Nest Doorbell is down to $112.92 ($67 off) at Amazon, matching its lowest price to date, in the color of your choice. There are certain omissions you’ll encounter with the battery model versus the pricier option. For example, it lacks 4K video and 24/7 capture. If those don’t bother you, this is a solid option, especially in the design department. Read our review.
- Prime members can snag Govee’s slick RGBIC floor lamp for a mere $59.99, which matches its previous low. This thin, futuristic lamp is ideal for corners, as it can splash colors onto your walls, syncing with your music, or with a color combo that sets the vibes in the room.
- The cost of the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium fluctuates nearly as much as the temperature each day, but it’s cheaper than ever during Prime Day. You can currently snag the smart thermostat, which includes a smart sensor and air quality monitor, for $209 (previously $249.99). Read our review.
$80
This is a great battery-powered buzzer with excellent video quality, a good head-to-toe view, and very speedy response times for a battery doorbell. It integrates well with Amazon Alexa and can record locally to a Ring Alarm Pro, but the battery only lasts about two months unless you turn on battery-saving features.
- Blink built its Mini 2 camera to be a great, inexpensive indoor or outdoor camera. By default, it’s an indoor cam, with HD video, color night video, and two-way audio support. It’s a good deal on Amazon right now, too, where you can grab it for $19.99 ($20 off). If you need an outdoor cam, you can grab it with a weather-resistant power adapter for just $10 more (normally $49.98).
- Thanks to Prime Day, Amazon’s slick Echo Pop smart speaker is down to $21.99 (nearly 50 percent off). It’s available in four colors (black, grey, purple, and teal), and select designs of the Kids version — which comes with parental controls and six months of Amazon Kids Plus— are also discounted to $21.99.
$32
The fifth-gen Echo Dot touts a temperature sensor, better sound, and faster response time than the prior model. It can also act as an extender for your Eero Wi-Fi system. Read our review.
- TP-Link’s Kasa smart home brand makes several Matter-ready Wi-Fi plugs, and a two-pack of them is currently available for just $19.99 ($20 off) at Amazon. You can control the plugs from within the Kasa app, or by giving voice commands via Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, or Samsung SmartThings.
$1000
With top-notch vacuuming performance, an easy-to-use app, and built-in voice control, the S8 MaxV Ultra is a superb vacuum and good mop which is why it’s our top pick overall. It features Roborock’s best obstacle avoidance, innovative features like dirt detection, and a hands-free dock that makes it an expensive but excellent choice.
- Eufy’s Omni C20 is on sale for $379.99 during Prime Day, which beats its previous low by $20. The budget robot vacuum features built-in mops, and its cleaning station can store debris from the vacuum, as well as wash and dry the mop components to prevent them from smelling after doing some dirty work.
Headphone and earbud deals
$299
The Sonos Ace are the company’s first set of wireless headphones. They feature a premium, comfortable build and active noise cancellation, along with compatibility with Sonos Arc and other Sonos soundbars. Read our review.
$149
The second-gen AirPods Pro improve upon Apple’s original pair with much better noise cancellation, sound quality, and onboard volume controls. The latest refresh also ships with a USB-C charging case, as opposed to Lightning. Read our review.
$180
The latest pair of Beats earbuds are a no-brainer for athletes. They pack fantastic sound and thumping bass, along with active noise cancellation, IPX4 water resistance, and heart rate monitoring. Read our review.
- The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are a decent-sounding pair of earbuds with ANC, and they’re down to a new low $54.99 ($45 off) at Amazon. The entry-level earbuds offer reliable performance and satisfactory sound — especially at this price — though they lack wireless charging, multipoint support, and some of the newer frills found on Samsung’s flagship earbuds. That said, they also come with a pair of silicone “wings” to help them stay firmly planted in place, which some considered a hallmark of prior models. Read our review.
- If you’re an Apple user, there’s no better pair of starter buds than the open-style AirPods 4, which have fallen to a new low of $89 ($41 off) at Amazon and Walmart. The latest model sounds significantly better than the third-gen pair, particularly when it comes to voice calls. More importantly, they offer robust integration with the rest of the Apple ecosystem, letting you take advantage of audio sharing, automatic device switching, hands-free “Hey Siri” commands, Apple TV integration, and more. Read our review.
$175
Samsung’s premium Galaxy Buds 3 Pro sport the same stem-based design and pinch gestures as the standard Galaxy Buds 3, only they deliver better sound, improved ANC, and an in-ear fit with silicone tips. Read our review.
- Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 are on sale at Amazon for $169.99 ($60 off), which is about $10 shy of their best price to date. They’re a pretty notable step up from the prior model — particularly if you use a Pixel phone — with a smaller build, an excellent transparency mode, and some of the best battery life you can get in a pair of noise-canceling earbuds. Read our review.
- Sony’s newer WH-1000XM6 are our No. 1 pick for the best ANC headphones, but the prior model remains an excellent alternative at $298, their current price on Amazon. The WH-1000XM5 still offer top-tier noise cancellation and superb sound, along with a helpful transparency mode, multipoint Bluetooth support, and other handy features. The only real downside, aside from the plasticky build, is the fact that they don’t fold down like the XM4 and this year’s XM6. Read our review.
$193
Sony’s last-last-gen ANC headphones still offer great sound, last up to 30 hours on a single charge, and provide a comfortable listening experience thanks to their plush ear pads. Read our review.
$90
The Beats Studio Buds Plus offer better sound and noise cancellation than the original pair, and they now come in a unique translucent color option. Read our review.
- Other than the Beats Studio Buds Plus above, there aren’t a ton of reputable pairs of wireless earbuds that rely on a see-through design. The newer WF-C710N do, however, and they’ve reached a new low price of $78 ($41 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. What’s more, the budget-minded earbuds also borrow some tricks from Sony’s pricier earbuds, including improved noise cancellation and battery life, an automatic pause feature, and touch buttons that allow you to control playback without whipping out your phone.
- Sony’s Float headphones are currently down to $78 ($52 off) at Amazon, which is significantly less than their previous low of $108. The Float represent Sony’s take on open-ear headphones, and while we haven’t had a chance to test them (yet), they seem to offer similar features to their like-minded rivals, including IPX4 water resistance, USB-C charging, and generous ear hooks that are designed to keep them firmly in place while you run.
$69
Nothing’s Ear (a) earbuds have the same general design as the company’s previous earbuds — but you can get these in a snazzy yellow. They include ANC, more than decent sound quality, and other features like multipoint for just under $100. Read our impressions.
$125
Shokz’ best bone conduction headphones yet, with more booming bass than its predecessor. Our reviewer Victoria Song praised their cozy fit as well as their USB-C charging (goodbye, proprietary charger!). Read our review.
- The recently released Skullcandy Method 360 ANC are down to a new low of $79.88 ($50 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. They’re basically a pair of low-end Bose earbuds in disguise — hell, they even use licensed technology and audio tuning by Bose — which means they offer well-balanced sound, solid battery life, and a number of great features for the price. They also block noise more effectively than previous Skullcandy offerings and come in an array of fun colors, including a chic leopard print.
- The Shokz OpenFit are currently on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $109.95 ($50 off), a new low. Like other pairs of Shokz earbuds, they feature a lightweight, open-style design that’s well-suited for both the gym and everyday use, with an IP55 water resistance rating, relatively clear sound, and a decent amount of low-end thump despite their less conventional design. Read our hands-on impressions.
- Google’s Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds have hit a new low of $49 ($50 off) at Amazon. The newer Pixel Buds Pro 2 are, unsurprisingly, a huge step up in terms of sound and features, but Google’s discontinued entry-level earbuds are still very good for the money and create a tight seal in your ears to block outside sounds in lieu of proper noise cancellation. Read our review.
Soundbar and Bluetooth speaker deals
$369
The Sonos Beam (second-gen) is a compact soundbar that supports Dolby Atmos and can stream music from a plethora of services. Read our review.
- One of the best-looking Bluetooth speakers around is the second-gen Bose SoundLink Flex, which is on sale for an all-time low of $99 ($50 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. It’s a long-lasting, rugged (IP67) option, in case you’re sifting through which you might buy for your future outdoor escapades. It can stand on its own, too, or you can sling it onto a strong carabiner using its built-in loop.
- Typically priced at $149, the more capable WiiM Pro streaming device has also received a discount at Amazon, where you can currently grab it for $119.20 (about $30 off). It has the same DAC as the aforementioned Mini above, but it sports a couple of features you won’t find on the cheaper version, including Chromecast Audio, ethernet support, and RCA audio inputs. Read our WiiM deep dive.
- Sonos has discounted the price of its Roam 2 smart speaker to $143 at Amazon (it typically runs between $140 and $180 when discounted). Like all Sonos speakers, it can be paired to your larger Sonos family of speakers via Wi-Fi, or you can use it as a standalone Bluetooth speaker indoors or outside.
$300
The JBL Authentics 300 is one of only a few smart speakers on the market with simultaneous Google Assistant and Alexa support. The ’70s-style speaker is heavy, but it produces impressive, powerful sound, especially at louder volumes. Read our review.
Smartwatch and fitness tracker deals
$280
The Apple Watch Series 10 has a larger, wide-angle OLED display with up to 30 percent more screen area. It’s thinner and lighter than its predecessors, yet it charges faster and features the same fitness and wellness features. Read our review.

The Amazfit Active 2 delivers outsized value for the price. It looks spiffy and has a wide array of health tracking features, plus built-in GPS and AI chatbots to provide extra context to your data. Read our review.
- The entry-level Apple Watch Ultra 2 hasn’t sunk below $700 in a few months, but during Prime Day, you can snag it at Amazon for $649.99. This beats its previous low by $30. Read our review.
$250
Google’s new Pixel Watch 3 is bigger and brighter than its predecessor. It also features more advanced running capabilities, offline Google Maps functionality, and deeper integration with other Google devices. Read our review.
- If $249 is still too expensive, don’t write off the Pixel Watch 2, which is currently down to just $129.99 ($120 off) at Amazon in its Wi-Fi configuration. If you prefer the cellular version, that one is on sale at Amazon for $179.99 (also $120 off). Its battery life isn’t as good as the Pixel Watch 3, and it’s missing a few features, but it’s otherwise a solid alternative if you’re trying to save a little cash. Read our review.
$325
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is targeted at more outdoorsy folks with dual-frequency GPS, a new multisport activity, an emergency siren, and increased durability. Read our review.
- If you have your eyes set on a Samsung smartwatch, it’s a good time to grab the Galaxy Watch 7, which is matching its previous low of $259.99 at Amazon in the 44mm configuration with LTE. Read our review.
- The non-LTE, 44mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Bespoke Edition is down to $199.99 ($130 off) at Amazon, which is a steep price drop compared to its previous low of $279.99.
- The Samsung Galaxy Ring is on sale at Amazon in multiple sizes for $299.99 ($100 off), which beats its previous low price by $50. It’s a solid, subscription-free first attempt at a smart ring from Samsung, with good hardware and long battery life. It’s Android-only, however, and it’s best paired with a Samsung phone. Read our review.
- The Garmin Lily 2 has returned to its all-time low of $199.99 ($50 off) at Amazon. While Garmin makes plenty of trackers for enthusiast fitness folks, the Lily 2 is a more pared-back experience for casual users. I don’t say that condescendingly; The Verge’s Victoria Song praised its limitations during a vacation.
$297
The Oura Ring 4 is slimmer and more accurate than its predecessor, while adding new AI-powered tools and longer battery life. Read our review.

Star Wars Outlaws is an original open-world adventure set in the vast universe of the iconic film series. It stars Kay Vess, a protagonist looking to steal from criminal overlords to gain her freedom. A new expansion featuring Lando Calrissian recently launched, alongside an update that improves stealth and some of the game’s most glaring issues. Read our review.
- If you want to know why Armored Core fans were overjoyed in 2023, it’s because that’s when Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon launched. The fast, relentlessly challenging third-person action game is a treat for the senses (and a punishment to your reflexes), and the PlayStation 5 version is down to just $19.99 (about $10 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. This matches the game’s previous low, but it remains a fantastic deal if you missed out last time.
- Bloober Team knocked it out of the park with its remake of Silent Hill 2 on the PS5. If you scoffed at its original $69.99 price tag, you can currently pick it up for $39.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. Read our review.
- There are few games out there with more heart and soul (and pure silliness) than Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. The latest game in the long-running Yakuza-turned-Like a Dragon franchise is on sale for the PS5 for $39.99 ($20 off) at Best Buy and Amazon.
- One of the best-looking Switch 2 games is Splatoon 3, which recently got an update that makes the game run (and look) better on Nintendo’s new console. If you’ve always wanted to give this one a try, you can pick up a digital or physical copy at Best Buy for $39.99 or Walmart $49.50 (typically $59.99). Read about the Switch 2 update.
- Not enough people are still talking about Pikmin 4, the latest entry in Nintendo’s chill (yet often chaotic) exploration game. You navigate through environments, collect and command Pikmin with different elemental abilities and weaknesses, and try to save fellow space cadets from strange happenings. All the while, you’re trying to find Captain Olimar, the protagonist of the original Pikmin game. The Switch title is matching its all-time low of $39.99 ($20 off) right now at Best Buy. Read our review.
$249
If you bought a Meta Quest 2, you’re a prime candidate for the Quest 3S. It’s a faster, more comfortable VR headset that runs the same chipset as the pricier Quest 3. While its screen resolution hasn’t improved, nearly everything else about the hardware has. Read our review.
- If you read our review of the Windows-flavored Lenovo Legion Go S, we made it clear that its high $729.99 price was one of its biggest flaws. It has other issues, such as the current state of gaming on a Windows handheld and its underpowered Ryzen Z2 Go processor, but the 32GB RAM / 1TB storage model is worth considering at its discounted price of $499.99 ($230 off) at Best Buy. That’s a huge discount.
- The microSD cards used in the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and the original Nintendo Switch are becoming more and more affordable. For instance, Samsung’s Sonic-emblazoned Pro Plus 512GB microSD card is on sale for $29.99 (about $13 off) at Amazon. If you’d prefer a 1TB version so you won’t have to upgrade any time soon, that’s down to $69.99 (this model has never been cheaper than $89.99).
$56
Nintendo’s official Switch 2 Pro Controller is expensive at $84.99. For something cheaper — and in some ways better — there’s 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2, which works with the original Switch and newer Switch 2. It features durable TMR joysticks with trigger switches for adjusting the feel, as well as vibration and motion control support.
- The version of 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 wireless controller that works with Android and Windows (including the Steam Deck) is down to $47.99 (originally $59.99) at Amazon. Aside from not being able to connect to Nintendo consoles, it’s identical in terms of features to the pricier, made-for-Switch edition.
- Amazon’s Luna Controller is on sale for $39.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, which matches its best price to date. Although it was built primarily for Amazon’s cloud-gaming service, the gamepad offers support for both Bluetooth and USB-C connectivity, rendering it compatible with Android phones, Apple products, Fire TV devices, and PCs. It also integrates with Alexa, allowing you to issue voice commands directly through the controller when paired with a Fire TV device.
- If you use an XLR microphone as part of your PC’s audio setup, Elgato makes a version of the Stream Deck that you can plug directly into. The aptly titled Elgato Stream Deck Plus XLR audio interface, available at Amazon for $179.99 ($120 off), can perform the usual Stream Deck functions to turn you into a multitasking pro, and its knobs allow you to make audio and mic adjustments on the fly.
- It’s now easier than ever to plug your DSLR or mirrorless camera into your PC to use as a high-end webcam. Just grab Elgato’s Cam Link 4K, which is down to $79.99 ($20 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. The device converts the HDMI signal coming out of your camera into USB for your PC to process.
- You may not be able to take full advantage of a PCIe 5.0 SSD, but having extra speed for future upgrades isn’t a bad idea. If that’s appealing to you, the current Amazon deal on Samsung’s 9100 Pro 4TB M.2 SSD caught our eye. It’s available for $399.99, down from its typical price of $449.99. If you’d prefer something cheaper, you can grab a 2TB version for $199.99, which is $40 lower than the prior low.

Samsung’s ultrafast 990 Pro is a PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD that can reach sequential read speeds of 7,450MB/s and write speeds of 6,900MB/s. It’s more than capable for high-end PC builds, and its preinstalled heatsink means it’s easily installable into a PlayStation 5. Its heatsink even has a bit of RGB lighting for some extra pop (if you’re able to see it).
- Have a Steam Deck, an Asus ROG Ally, or a similar handheld PC that can accept an M.2 2230-sized SSD? WD Black’s 1TB SN770M is discounted to $84.99 at Amazon, down slightly from its previous low of $89.99. Installation procedures vary in steps and complexity depending on the handheld you own.
- One of Logitech’s best Switch 2-ready webcams just received a Prime Day discount. The Brio 500 1080p webcam is currently available at Amazon for $79.99 ($50 off), which is a new low price.
- For a portable power bank that matches the design of Anker’s 20,000mAh 737 battery with its display but delivers a substantial amount of power (a combined 130W), there’s Ugreen’s Nexode model, which is currently on sale at Best Buy for just $56.99 ($33 off).
- You can keep your iPhone and AirPods charged with Belkin’s MagSafe 2-in-1 wireless charging stand, which is down to $59.99 ($4o off) at Amazon, nearly matching its best price to date. While similar models from other brands are often cheaper, this one looks better than most, and it hasn’t sunk this low in price since mid-2023. Belkin’s option also includes a power adapter.
- The Baseus PrimeTrip VR2 Max has been one of the most popular products for Verge readers recently. The 4-in-1 car charger can put out a combined 163W of power and features two retractable USB-C cables, plus two USB-A ports. It’s tough not to love, especially at its Amazon price of $29.99 ($20 off).

- One of the best cartoons ever made is Batman: The Animated Series.

- Robert Egger’s revamped version of Nosferatu is available on 4K Blu-ray for $17.99 (about $23 off) at Amazon. The title is dripping with style, and it effectively brings together elements from the original 1922 film with Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel to great effect. Read our review.
- The Wire is one of the few HBO gems from its cable-only era that’s still considered must-watch TV. Thankfully, you can — and should — pick up the complete series on Blu-ray while it’s down to $49.99 ($51 off) at Amazon, which is about $30 less than it usually costs. Just to note that this collection is in 16:9 aspect ratio, while the show initially aired in 4:3.
- BBC’s Orphan Black put the inimitable Tatiana Maslany on the map. She plays multiple roles with ease in this multi-season sci-fi show that’s about clones and cons. The Blu-ray set is available now at Amazon for $22.99 ($42 off), which marks its lowest price to date.
- Furiosa: Mad Max Saga is available on 4K Blu-ray at Amazon right now for $12.99 ($21 off). The prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road is no less explosive as it dives into Furiosa’s backstory. It stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth. Read our review.

- Thermacell’s E90 mosquito repeller is down to $33.49 (about $17 off) at Amazon right now, beating its previous low by $6 or so. It’s similar to the rechargeable E55 — a summer favorite of ours — only the upgraded model provides up to nine hours of continuous protection when used with the included repellent cartridge, as opposed to five. Needless to say, it’s a great pick for the dog days of summer.
- It’s not often enough that Elgato’s composite / S-Video-to-USB converter — which is perfect for making digital copies of your VHS tapes — goes on sale. But thanks to Prime Day, it’s down to $69.99 (originally $99.99) at Amazon. It’s still expensive, but the company’s simple software makes it stand out as a great option for people who aren’t particularly tech-savvy.
- If you’re an avid concert goer who’d like to retain your hearing later in life — and who wouldn’t? — Loop’s ultra-comfortable Experience 2 earpugs are on sale at Amazon for an all-time low of $26.95 ($8 off). The stylish earplugs won’t reduce noise as effectively as a custom set; however, they do carry a noise reduction rating of 12dB, which is totally adequate for that occasional Turnstile set.
- Lego’s Animal Crossing Fly with Dodo Airlines set is one of the few Lego sets receiving a Prime Day discount at Amazon, where you can currently pick it up for $26.99 ($11 off), its second-best price to date. The kid-friendly, 292-piece playset is a nice little homage to Animal Crossing New Horizons, especially if your kiddo or someone you know has a soft spot for planes… or extinct, flightless birds.
- Looking to spruce up your workspace? Yamazaki’s Desk Organizer is available at Amazon for $30.06 (about $12 off), which is one of the better prices we’ve seen in recent months. The handsome, steel accessory is equipped with a small bin and an elevated wooden platform, ensuring your keys, wallet, and whatever else it is you need are always within reach.
- Hatch Restore 2 was one of our favorite sleep gadgets, and now you can pick up the third-gen model at Amazon for an all-time low of $139.99 ($30 off). The Restore 3 is quite similar to the TikTok-famous model we reviewed in 2023 in that it still functions as a smart alarm clock / sunrise lamp, except the latest version features an updated design and adds several new buttons that make it easier to operate.
- Speaking of sleep devices, the Yogasleep Travel Mini Portable Sound Machine is now on sale at Amazon for $23.79 ($6 off), which is just $3 shy of its best price to date. The rechargeable, travel-ready device offers six noise profiles, from ambient nature sounds to serene pink noise, as well as a built-in night light for navigating your hotel or next Airbnb.
- One of our gift guide mainstays, the six-quart Instant Pot Duo Plus, is discounted to $69.99 ($70 off) at Amazon and Target right now, matching its lowest price to date. The stainless steel multicooker is an excellent set-it-and-forget-it device in many ways, as it allows you to steam, sauté, pressure cook, slow cook, and engage in a variety of simple culinary endeavors without having to pony up for a host of kitchen appliances.
- Robot vacuums are overrated. Black & Decker’s rechargeable Furbuster — now on sale at Amazon and Chewy for $79.99, its lowest price of the year — is a great handheld alternative that’s well-suited for picking up fur, dirt, and other unwanted debris, especially when you tack on the extra-long crevice tool or the included motorized pet brush.
- Hoto makes some of the slickest electric tools around, but Fanttik’s are a close second. The E1 Max Precision Electric Screwdriver — available at Amazon for $43.77 ($36 off) for Prime Day — is a great example of why that’s the case. It’s not going to get you a ton of torque, but it features an attractive design, a 350mAh rechargeable battery, and 50 magnetic steel bits that are ideal for tackling small electronics.
- If you’re still gearing up for the summer grilling season, BioLite’s versatile FirePit Plus is currently available from Amazon, REI, and BioLite for around $224.96 ($175 off), its best price of the year. The portable fire pit is an efficient little gadget thanks to its clever design and battery-powered fan, which helps keep smoke at bay regardless of your fuel source.
- Nerf’s first gel blaster, the Gelfire Mythic, is available at Amazon for $14.99 ($55 off), its lowest price to date. The fully automatic blaster shoots pellets made of water-infused gel instead of reusable foam darts or balls, though you do get a whopping 10,000 of them right out of the box. It also features a retractable stock and removable barrel for a variety of play styles. Just don’t forget to wear the eye pro.
