We're less than a week away from Prime Day now which means Amazon is hard at work dropping deals. Like every Prime Day, Amazon launches countless early deals and some spell huge savings. If you're shopping for outdoor gear, a new Amazon Echo device, or noise-cancelling headphones, you're already in for giant savings.

While slim in number, we also have some decent deals on drones. Shop one of these models today before the sale and you can spend next week perfecting drone piloting instead of shopping for a model.

We expect to see more drone deals drop as we get closer to Prime Day, so check back to keep an eye on the savings. But for those who want a model now, check out the best deals on offer.

Perfect for both beginner and experts, the DJI Neo mini drone gets you 4K UHD footage without costing a fortune. Since it's a DJI drone, you get the reassurance it comes packed with features like palm takeoff, propeller guards, and smart tracking. Plus, it weighs just 135 grams so it's easy to pack along.

Ahead of Prime Day, snag the DJI Neo for $169, marked down from the normal list price of $199 which save you a nice $30.

65-inch TVs on sale for Prime Day: 2026 mini LED TVs at record-low prices and free gifts

Mashable - Tue, 06/23/2026 - 09:52
A glance at the best deals on 65-inch TVs before Prime Day: Best high-end 65-inch TV deal TCL 65-inch Q8ML Mini LED QLED 4K TV $1,499.99 at Amazon (save $700 at Amazon, plus get a free 55-inch TCL Q65 TV) Get Deal Best Amazon TV deal Amazon 65-inch Ember Artline QLED Art TV $899.99 at Amazon (save $200 at Amazon) Get Deal Best budget 65-inch TV deal TCL 65-inch QM64L Mini LED QLED Fire TV $529.99 at Amazon (save $270 at Amazon) Get Deal

You may have not needed a new TV during Black Friday, or even during Amazon's Spring Sale. June through August is the most popular time to move on a TV, so Prime Day is a super convenient time to buy.

If you're not sure what size TV to get, the internet will probably tell you that 65 inches is the most palatable size. That's big enough to be seen from 10 feet away, but not so massive that you'll get a headache in a close-knit living space. A 65-inch TV is also more likely to fit comfortably on the average TV stand than if you bumped up to 75 inches.

SEE ALSO: 15+ streaming services you can get for 99 cents, plus more early Prime Day streaming deals

Prime Day TV deals are typically so good that you should even be able to snag a 65-inch TV for the typical price of a smaller model. Before Prime Day 2026 officially starts on June 23, I've found more than 10 worthwhile deals on 65-inch TVs already live. Many are 2026 models that just came out in the spring, already on sale at a new record-low price.

Best 65-inch TV deal ahead of Prime Day TCL 65-inch Q8ML Mini LED QLED 4K TV $1,499.99 at Amazon
$2,499.99 Save $1,000.00 Plus, get a 55-inch TCL Q65 TV for free Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Just released in April 2026, the TCL Q8ML is the successor to TCL's popular QM8K TV. The single letter change in the title doesn't quite cover the difference in lighting tech here. The SQD Q8ML series features "super quantum dot mini LEDs," which are essentially an extra-bright version of regular quantum dots that are able to reproduce 100 percent of the BT2020 color spectrum. In dark rooms, the 4,000 local dimming zones packed into the Q8ML provide much sharper contrast than a regular mini LED TV.

If you're curious, you can snag the 65-inch TCL Q8ML for $1,799.99 at Amazon ahead of Prime Day — nearly 30 percent off its debut price of $2,499.99. Your purchase of any TCL SQD TV also unlocks a free 55-inch QLED TV from TCL worth $318.

Best 65-inch Amazon TV deal Amazon 65-inch Ember Artline QLED Art TV $899.99 at Amazon
$1,099.99 Save $200   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Amazon gives its own Fire TVs a good amount of attention during Prime Day, of course. Despite the discounts, Amazon Fire TVs typically still aren't the best bang for your buck compared to 4K TVs from other brands. However, the early Prime Day deal on the 65-inch Amazon Ember Artline is actually really good value for money.

Only recently released, the Amazon Ember Artline is Amazon's version of a matte art TV. The big deal here is that the Ember Artline comes with a frame color of your choice: Choose from 10 options including Walnut, Ash, Black Oak, Fig, Graphite, Matte White, Midnight Blue, Pale Gold, Silver, and Teak. (Without paying extra, The Frame locks you into black and the Hisense Canvas locks you into teak.)

It's nearly Amazon Prime Day, which officially runs from June 23 through 26, but if you don't feel like waiting, there's already plenty of live deals to shop.

Besides offering three free months of both Kindle Unlimited and Audible to new subscribers, Amazon also has some pretty great discounts on books themselves. I'm not usually one to recommend purchasing physical books via Amazon (support local book stores!), but it's pretty hard to pass up a 50% price drop on a book you've had on your TBR.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Editors just dropped the 20 best books of 2026 (so far) — find out what made the list

I'm tracking some of the best deals on physical books and e-books at Amazon ahead of the official Prime Day kick off, but remember to check back for more once things start ramping up.

Named one of the best books of 2026 so far by Amazon Book Editors, Crux is an "exhilarating, tender novel about an unlikely friendship forged through a shared love of rock climbing," according to Amazon Editor Abby Abell. Thanks to an on-page coupon at Amazon, you can add the hardcover version to your home library for less than half its usual cost.

A classic trope of two abducted girls, only one returns and one doesn't, The Girl Who Was Taken is a psychological thriller by Charlie Donlea where nothing is as it seems. Typically around $20, you can pick up the paperback version for only $7.50 at Amazon ahead of Prime Day. That's just a few cents away from its lowest price ever.

I highly recommend grabbing this twisty psychological thriller from internationally best-selling author Steve Cavanagh while the Kindle version is only $2.99. Kill For Me Kill For You follows two women seeking revenge against the men who killed their daughters. Over drinks one night, they decide to swap murders, but things don't go exactly as planned.

The Tile Pro is one of the most solid Bluetooth trackers on the market, and one of the best contenders that could be considered to take the Apple AirTag crown. They can be used with both iOS and Android devices and feature an easy-to-use app that lets you track items with the press of a button. They use the Tile Network to recover your lost items, so you have lengthy range, and Tile Premium adds even more features like item reimbursement, in the event you can't recover an item protected by your Tile tracker.

They feature both lost item alerts and lost mode, so when something is confirmed lost, other Apple devices can access it as well as your tracker to help you find all of your most important belongings. Plus, they're lightweight and easy to attach to a bag or drop into luggage for simple tracking.

The best streaming stick deals on Prime Day: Grab a streaming stick for as low as $16

If you're not ready to completely replace your old TV (and dish out the money to do so), but you want a speedier, more modern streaming experience, grabbing a streaming stick is the move. Their simple plug-and-play design can completely transform any TV with an HDMI port for a whole lot cheaper than getting a new one — especially if you grab one during Prime Day.

While Prime Day doesn't officially kick off until June 23, our shopping team has spotted lots of early deals worth grabbing. From streaming services to devices, I'll be tracking all of the best streaming deals throughout the Amazon Prime Day shopping event. And yes, there are also plenty of TV deals up for grabs if you are ready to take the leap.

While Amazon Fire TV Sticks are definitely running the show so far, I'll be keeping an eye out for more Roku, Google, and Apple TV streaming devices as we inch closer to the official event.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is the most affordable Fire TV Stick in Amazon's lineup that offers 4K quality with HDR10+ support, as well as Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It still features the old Android-based operating system, which can be slightly laggy, but overall it's well-loved by many longtime users. It also still allows for sideloading apps if you're into that. (Starting with the 4K Select model, all future Fire TV Sticks will switch to the Linux-based Vega operating system).

Be sure to click on the "redeem" button next to the on-page coupon code underneath the Prime logo and pricing details to score 50% off this streaming stick ahead of Prime Day. While there's a chance we could see an even lower price come Prime Day proper, this is currently its lowest price on record.

The best Prime Day streaming deals are live: 10+ subscriptions for less than $1

Mashable - Tue, 06/23/2026 - 09:47
The best early Prime Day streaming deals at a glance: Best long-term deal HBO Max Standard annual subscription $132.99 (save $52) Get Deal Best add-on deal Paramount+ Premium $0.99/month for 2 months (save $26) Get Deal Best music streaming deal Amazon Music Unlimited free for 4 months (save $47.96) Get Deal Best premium Prime Video add-on deal Apple TV $5.99/month for 2 months (save $14) Get Deal Best audiobook streaming deal Audible Standard free for 3 months (save $26.97) Get Deal Best slept-on streaming deal AMC+ Premium (Prime Video add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $20) Get Deal

Last year, Amazon surprised us by dropping a boatload of Prime Day streaming deals for the first time. In 2026, it's basically rinse and repeat. And that's not a bad thing.

Prime Day isn't just for deals on TVs and headphones anymore — it's also a great time to load up your digital libraries with streaming subscriptions, so long as you're a Prime member. (Not yet a member? Sign up here.) One of the biggest perks of having a Prime account is gaining access to Prime Video, Amazon's own streaming service. While Prime Video itself isn't on sale, tons of subscription add-ons are, including premium options like Apple TV, AMC+, and Paramount+.

In the days leading up to the official Prime Day kickoff (which takes place June 23 through 26 this year), HBO Max also dropped a killer deal. We wouldn't be surprised if even more streamers toss their hats in the ring to compete as we inch closer to the big day.

We'll be keeping an eye out for you, and updating this list as any new streaming deals roll in. While we're not expecting Black Friday-level deals, this will likely be your only chance to snag a steep discount until the end of the year — so, act fast if you see a deal you like.

Best Prime Day long-term streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: HBO Max HBO Max 40% off annual subscriptions Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: HBO Max HBO Max (Prime Video add-on) 40% off annual subscriptions Get Deal Why we like it

HBO Max always gives us one of the best streaming deals for Black Friday, but this is the first time it's decided to hop aboard the Prime Day express. And it's kicking off its Prime Day deal debut with a bang: new and returning subscribers can get any annual subscription for 40% off. Yes, that means this deal isn't just limited to the ad-supported tier like it is on Black Friday.

Typically, HBO Max annual subscriptions cost $109.99 for the Basic with ads tier, $184.99 for Standard (no ads), and $229.99 for Premium (no ads + 4K). Through July 15, however, you'll only pay $78.99, $132.99, or $164.99, respectively. After your first year, your subscription will revert to full price unless you cancel. Still, that's 12 whole months of streaming for 40% less than usual.

Psst: If you don't want to deal with logging into another streaming service, this deal is also available in the form of a Prime Video add-on.

Best Prime Day streaming add-on deal Paramount+ streaming deals: Standalone deal Paramount+ Premium $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal prime video add-on Paramount+ (Prime Video add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal Roku add-on Paramount+ Premium (Roku add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal Why we like it

Like clockwork, we can always count on Paramount+ to dish out one of the best streaming deals during major shopping events. The streamer has resurrected the exact same streaming deal from last Prime Day for 2026, only this time it's technically a better offer since Paramount+ raised its prices earlier this year. Typically $13.99 per month for a Premium subscription (that's the ad-free tier with Showtime), you'll get two months for just 99 cents a piece. That saves you $26 total.

The Paramount+ library is surprisingly robust. Premium subscribers can enjoy Paramount+ Originals like Landman and RuPaul Drag Race All Stars, Showtime series like Dexter Resurrection and Yellowjackets, CBS shows like Survivor and Big Brother live, UFC fights, and nostalgic shows from Nickelodeon and MTV. That's not even counting the massive movie lineup (including Paramount Pictures movies straight from the theater).

The discount is only valid through the end of Prime Day on June 26, so be sure to sign up before then. You can grab the deal directly through Paramount+ itself or as a subscription add-on via Prime Video or Roku.

Best Prime Day music streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Music Unlimited Amazon Music Unlimited free for 4 months (save $11.99/month) Get Deal Why we like it

If you're not committed to a music streamer, now's a good time to check out Amazon Music Unlimited without spending a cent. Through June 29, new subscribers can secure four free months. Typically $11.99 per month for Prime members, that's a total of $47.96 in savings. Amazon Music Unlimited unlocks a massive music catalog that you can listen to on-demand, ad-free, and in the highest quality possible. Beyond music itself, Unlimited subscriptions also include "the most ad-free podcasts" of any of the major music apps, as well as one free audiobook per month via Audible. Even if you do already subscribe to another music streaming service, it's worth it to take a pause from payments for four months and lock in this deal.

The best gaming laptop deals to grab on Prime Day — the ASUS TUF F16 is at its lowest price ever

Mashable - Tue, 06/23/2026 - 09:47

Amazon’s latest Prime Day sale is still a little way off, but the retailer’s gaming laptop deals are already dropping hard across various brands to save you more cash on top-tier models. 

Ahead of the main sale, we’re seeing early discounts on machines built for much more than just everyday browsing. These include RTX-powered laptops, high-refresh-rate displays, sizeable SSDs, and models that can handle the latest PC games without needing a full desktop setup. 

Gaming laptops can be tricky to shop for, with specs, sellers, and inflated list prices all worth checking carefully. So, Mashable has gone through the early offers and picked out the best gaming laptop deals worth considering before Prime Day officially begins.

With that, here are the very best early Prime Day deals you can find right now. 

Best gaming laptop deal deal Opens in a new window Credit: ASUS ASUS TUF F16 RTX 5050 VR-Ready Gaming Laptop $1,399 at Amazon
$1,999 Save $600   Get Deal Why we like it

The TUF F16 was already a great pick as a gaming laptop, being a modernised entry in ASUS’s fantastic TUF range of gaming-ready laptops. To go along with its powerful specs, however, is its lowest price ever: now only $1,399 with $600 slashed off its $1,999 list price — and is now the lowest price it's ever seen, confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel. 

With that 30% discount, you’ll be buying a 16-inch FHD+ display with a 165Hz refresh rate, an Intel Core i7-14650HX processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It also comes with useful extras like a MUX Switch with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, 100% sRGB support, a 1080p webcam, RGB backlit keyboard, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, and WiFi 6.

This particular model comes with an RGB backlight to illuminate your gaming displays even more.

With all that, you’re all set to play modern games with fantastic results — be it the usual multiplayer shooter fun in Fortnite, or a triple-A single-player gem like Cyberpunk 2077, with plenty of space available for more titles via its 1TB of SSD storage. 

On the other hand, for just $200 more, you can select the SKU with double the RAM at 32GB of DDR5 — which is also on sale at $1,599, $700 off. Then, you’ll be able to play more reliably while multitasking between admin and streaming, as well.

The best early Prime Day deals on unlocked smartphones Best Samsung deal Samsung Galaxy S26 $785 (Save $114.99) Get Deal Best Google deal Google Pixel 10 $725 (Save $74) Get Deal

Amazon Prime Day has become one of the biggest retail events of the year. The biannual sale sees discounts across all types of products, from tech to household essentials, so it's a great excuse for both practical upgrades and a little treat. And it's often a good time to shop for a new smartphone. If you're looking for an upgrade or just a budget-friendly handset with no long-term contract, there's already some early deals on unlocked smartphones.

Prime Day officially runs from June 23 to 26, but here are the unlocked smartphone deals we've been able to find now.

And right now it's over $100 off when you choose the sky blue color. The other options (cobalt violet, black, and white) are also reduced by a little less, but still $100 off the list price.

Amazon hides its best Prime Day sex toy deals, so I found the most exciting discounts across the web

Mashable - Tue, 06/23/2026 - 09:44
Best early Prime Day sex toy deals so far: Best licking toy deal Tracy's Dog OG Lick $29.99 (save $10) Get Deal Best suction toy deal Hello Nancy Lem $89 (save $70) Get Deal Best rabbit vibrator deal bellesa G-Stroking Rabbit $79 (save $40) Get Deal Best basic vibrator deal Ava Vivv Massage Wand $15.47 (Save $3) Get Deal Also consider Tracy's Dog Cordless Vibrating Hammer Wand $39.99 (save $6) Get Deal

Prime Day starts June 23 (yes, Amazon bumped the official sale up to June this year), and it's my pleasure, and journalistic duty, to give you the deets on where to find the best sex toy deals.

As I've noted in years past, buying sex toys on Amazon is a gamble. If you don't know what to look for, you could end up with something that does more harm than good (think porous jelly materials or chemical-laden vibrators). On top of that, Amazon isn't allowed to promote sex toys on Prime Day the way it does for TVs and air fryers, which means you have to dig to find the discounts.

SEE ALSO: I've tested 100+ sex toys. Here are the 15 most mind-blowing toys I've ever owned.

Luckily, you have me to do the research for you. To be transparent, there aren't a ton of amazing sex toy deals live on Amazon yet, but I expect a lot more to drop once the official sale heats up. If you just can't wait, I've rounded up the best early discounts and my favorite sex toys from competing sales at retailers and brands like Lovehoney, Lelo, belessa, and Hello Nancy.

Happy shopping!

Best Amazon Prime Day sex toy deal so far Tracy's Dog OG Lick $29.99 at Amazon
$39.99 Save $10.00   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

A lot of the toys I usually hype up on Prime Day aren't on sale yet (I've listed those below), but Tracy's Dog is almost always marked down. It is one of my favorite sex toy brands for people who crave intense clitoral stimulation but aren't willing to pay more than $50. This is one of the only times I feel confident saying you'll get more bang for your buck.

Right now, you can get Tracy's Dog OG Lick for $29.99 at Amazon (it's basically just a newer version of the OG Sucking Vibrator, which I have and love). It's only 13% off on the Tracy's Dog website, so this is a good deal.

The OG Lick includes a remote and has seven licking modes and 10 vibration patterns. It's also waterproof and super easy to use hands-free (I actually love using mine while I'm giving my partner head; it's fun for everyone involved). Note: This is a "licking" vibrator; if you want suction, I recommend buying the OG Sucking Vibrator (which isn't available on Amazon for some reason).

The hardcore beauty crowd will have to wait for the actual event to get those discounts, but if you just want an affordable blowout brush or a reliable daily moisturizer, Amazon's already marked them down. Here's what's worth grabbing early.

Best hair tool deal Drybar Double Shot Oval Blow-Dryer Brush $103.07 at Amazon
$155 Save $51.93   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Walmart Why we like it

Everyone is so obsessed with Dyson's beauty collection, but our lead shopping reporter, Bethany Allard, has confirmed that it's not your only option when it comes to styling your hair at home — especially if you're just looking for something that's simple, efficient, and affordable.

I use the Drybar Blow-Dryer Brush every single day, and it's never let me down. The ionic technology helps smooth out frizz, and the oval-shaped barrel gives you that bouncy salon volume at the roots in one easy step (no multi-styler needed!). It's lightweight, super quick to use, and gets me out the door in minutes.

$52 Save $7.80   Get Deal Why we like it

Staying hydrated and moisturized is a blessing, but it can be expensive to get that dewy look every day. I love, love, love Philosophy's Hope in a Jar Glow Water Cream Face Moisturizer, but I almost never buy it unless it's on sale — which is why I highly recommend grabbing it right now while it's 15% off.

The lightweight water cream formula is packed with hyaluronic acid and pineapple extract to deliver serious, long-lasting hydration without leaving your face feeling greasy. I apply this every single day right when I get out of the shower, and it gives me such a gorgeous, natural glow that my mom always compliments my skin when she sees me. (Pro tip: I also really love the Philosophy extractor clay face mask, so you might want to add that to your cart while you're at it.)

Prime Day toy deals are live: Shop Lego, Pokémon, and more at low prices

Mashable - Tue, 06/23/2026 - 09:41
Best early Prime Day toy deals at a glance: Best overall Toniebox 1 Audio Player Starter Set with Playtime Puppy $79.99 (save $20) Get Deal Best Lego deal Lego Classic Large Creative Brick Box (10698) $33.49 (save ) Get Deal Best Pokémon deal Funko Pop! Games: Pokémon Ivysaur Collectable Vinyl Figure $8.84 (save $6.15) Get Deal

Prime Day officially starts really soon, and Amazon is doing the most to keep us on edge. We're already seeing major discounts on items that usually don't drop in price until the actual event (almost every Fitbit is on sale right now!), and those markdowns are slowly trickling into other categories, including Lego, Pokémon, and other top-tier toys.

Whether you have a little one at home or you're a proud auntie like me and you need to pick up a birthday gift or a little "just because" treat, now's the time to start browsing.

SEE ALSO: Craving pizza? Prime members can grab $5 large pizzas from Little Caesars every day through Prime Day.

Here are the best early toy deals to add to your wishlist or cart before the official sale kicks off next week.

Best deal overall Toniebox 1 Audio Player Starter Set with Playtime Puppy $79.99 at Amazon
$99.99 Save $20   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

If you're looking for a "toy" that isn't really a toy, then the Toniebox is the way to go. It's a Mashable fave (our Director of Special Projects Nicole Cammorata swears by these little things), and it's on sale ahead of Prime Day. The Toniebox 1 is an earlier version of the collection, but it still has all the bells and whistles you need to give your kid a screen-free listening experience.

It's basically a soft, huggable little speaker that's super easy for young kids to operate on their own. You just pop the included Playtime Puppy figure on top, and it automatically starts playing songs and stories. They can even squeeze the little ears on the box to adjust the volume, or tap the sides to skip tracks.

Best Lego deal Lego Classic Large Creative Brick Box (10698) $33.49 at Walmart
$79.99 Save $46.50   Get Deal at Walmart Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Lego sets are by far one of the most popular toys out there for both kids and adults. Every time I see my nephew, I take him to the local BrickinBad to pick out a set that we can build as soon as we get back to my apartment. The only problem is that Legos are notoriously expensive, so whenever they actually go on sale, it's a huge win.

If you're looking for a set that's suitable for all ages and offers hours of open-ended playtime without the headache of lengthy instructions, the Lego Classic Large Creative Brick Box is my go-to. My nephew has this exact box, and he will just sit there for hours building his own little world.

Best Pokémon deal Funko Pop! Games: Pokémon Ivysaur Figure $8.84 at Amazon
$14.99 Save $6.15   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

If your kid is into Pokémon but isn't quite old enough to start keeping track of actual trading cards, they'll probably be just as happy with this Funko Pop! Ivysaur figure. It's a fun, inexpensive way to let them have their own Pokémon merch without you having to worry about a rare card getting bent in half or lost at the playground. (My nephew has this one, too!)

The best PlayStation deals to grab during Prime Day — NBA 2K26 is down to an all-time low price

Mashable - Tue, 06/23/2026 - 09:39

Amazon’s latest Prime Day sale is almost here, steadily building up to several days of huge deals on appliances, gadgets, and of course, offers on PS5 games, accessories, consoles, and more.

While the actual four-day Prime Day doesn't start until June 23, Amazon and third-party sellers are already dropping plenty of deals to save you cash ahead of the rush. The key thing to keep in mind when it comes to shopping for PlayStation is that there can be a lot of price drops on off-brand products to sift through. Luckily, Mashable has done that on your behalf — and will do so throughout the sale.

Whether you're shopping for a new DualSense controller, a discounted PlayStation 5 game, or even a PS5 console bundle when a rare price drop appears, Mashable has scoured the site and cherry-picked the best deals live right now.

Best PlayStation deal Opens in a new window Credit: 2K Store 'NBA 2K26' (PlayStation 5) $19.91 at Amazon
$69.99 Save $50.08   Get Deal Why we like it

NBA 2K26 has already had a massive price drop ahead of Prime Day — this is easily one of the best game deals live right now. Originally launched at $69.99, the new and sealed Standard Edition is now available from just $19.91, taking over $50 off the list price less than a year after release. That's its lowest-ever price according to Camelcamelcamel.

NBA 2K26 brings back MyCAREER, MyTEAM, MyNBA, The W, and Play Now, with ProPLAY technology used to translate real NBA footage into more realistic movement, dribbling, crossovers, and on-court action.

As expected with annualised sports games, the next in the series is expected to hit consoles later this year. If you’ve not had the chance to play NBA 2K26 yet, now is the perfect time to catch up while we wait for news on the next full-price installment.

Tons of Fitbits are on sale for Prime Day

Mashable - Tue, 06/23/2026 - 09:37
Best early Prime Day Fitbit deals at a glance: Best deal overall Fitbit Charge 6 $99.95 (save $60) Get Deal Best runner-up deal Fitbit Versa 4 $149.95 (save $50) Get Deal Best budget deal Fitbit Inspire 3 $79.95 (save $20) Get Deal

Amazon's Prime Day sales event is right around the corner (I can't believe it's that time of year again!), and I'm genuinely shocked by the deals we're seeing this early in the game.

SEE ALSO: Amazon's early Prime Day deals include some great options for Father's Day

Usually, Amazon doesn't put Fitbits on sale until the very last minute, and then they're gone. (And some years, they don't go on sale at all.) But right now, we're seeing all-time lows on select Fitbit models, including the Charge 6.

Here are the best early Prime Day Fitbit deals you can shop right now:

Best deal overall Fitbit Charge 6 $89.95 at Amazon
$159.95 Save $70.00   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

The Fitbit Charge 6 isn't the newest Fitbit on the market, but it still has (almost) everything you'd need in a smart wearable. (I say almost because the Fitbit Charge 6 doesn't have an altimeter, but if you're not a trail runner, this probably isn't a deal breaker.)

The Charge 6 tracks your calories, steps, sleep, heart rate, and more. It also has built-in GPS, 40+ exercise modes, a seven-day battery life, and includes a three-month Google Health Premium (formerly Fitbit Premium) membership. Once the three months are up, you'll need to either cancel or renew for $9.99 per month or $99.99 annually.

Right now, you can get the Fitbit Charge 6 for $99.95 at Amazon. This is the lowest price we've tracked on this model since its release in 2023.

Best runner-up deal Opens in a new window Credit: Fitbit Fitbit Versa 4 $149.95
$199.95 Save $50   Get Deal Why we like it

If you're willing to spend a little bit more, the Fitbit Versa 4 is on sale for $149.95. This isn't the lowest price we've seen (it was $104.96 in April 2024), but it's still a pretty good deal.

Unlike the Charge 6, the Versa 4 has an altimeter and Bluetooth wrist calling. So, if you're looking for a wearable that acts more like a smartwatch, the Versa 4 might be the better buy. That said, it doesn't have the more "serious" health sensor that the Charge 6 does (e.g., ECG and EDA).

The Versa 4 also comes with three months of Google Health Premium.

Best budget deal Fitbit Inspire 3 $69.95 at Amazon
$99.95 Save $30   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Walmart Why we like it

If you're just looking for something that's affordable and efficient, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is your best option at $79.95.

It's a no-frills fitness tracker that'll give you the basic features you need to stay on top of your health. It can track your heart rate, steps, and stress levels. (It also offers menstrual health tracking, which is nice.)

You'll also get 10 full days of battery life and, like the other models mentioned above, three free months of Google Health Premium.

Smart glasses are one of the buzzier gadget categories going into Prime Day, so it's a good idea to start watching and tracking how low prices will go. Right now, in these early days of the sale, the discounts are still pretty modest, which is good news if you've been on the fence about buying in.

A few pairs, like the first-gen Ray-Ban Meta glasses, have dipped a little. So there are already discounts to shop if you're ready to buy. For everyone else, this is a great moment to lock in what you want now and pounce the second deeper discounts make their debut.

Mashable's team of shopping experts is keeping a close eye on the best early Prime Day smart glasses deals as they roll in. We'll keep updating this page with additional discounts as we find them.

If you're just now getting into the smart glasses game, you're in luck: the most popular pair is on sale right now. You can get a pair of first-generation Ray-Ban Meta glasses to try out and see what all the fuss is about. They let you take photos and videos, listen to music, make calls, or even ask Meta AI questions while you're wearing them. They feature an ultra-wide 12MP camera with a five-mic system so you can also livestream what you're seeing, all hands-free. They even offer live translation, so you can take part in conversations even when Wi-Fi isn't available. It's all about convenience, and if you're dipping your toes in the world of smart glasses, this is the best place to start.

It has a 120Hz refresh rate, 9-level dimming, and auto-transparency as well, with deep, satisfying bass and the ability to turn any 2D content into 3D. These are the glasses you get if you're serious about what you're watching, and you can save a bit of cash on them thanks to Prime Day.

The best Prime Day deals on Echo devices — shop smart speakers, smart displays, and bedside clocks

Mashable - Tue, 06/23/2026 - 09:35

TL;DR: Amazon is using its early Prime Day hub to showcase its new Alexa+ ecosystem, but all first-party Echo devices are currently listed at full retail price. Hold off on buying until June 23 or check out the live sales on Sonos and Bose gear instead.

It's only June 8, but Amazon is pushing its upcoming Prime Day sale hard (as it does every year, though it feels like the sale starts earlier and earlier each time). The company's using flashy blue banners to make it look like the event's already underway, but if you look at the actual price tags, you'll see all of the Echo devices are still listed at their original list price. (Some things on the site are on sale, just not these.)

SEE ALSO: Prime Day is right around the corner: Here are 20+ early deals to start shopping now

Instead of offering discounts, Amazon is using this early window to lure customers to the site and get some eyes on its new generative AI assistant, Alexa+. While access is included for free with Prime, non-subscribers will eventually have to cough up $19.99 a month for the standard plan.

To help you plan out your shopping cart ahead of time, here's a quick breakdown of what these full-price devices are going for right now versus how low we expect them to drop when the sale officially kicks off:

Smart displays to watch

  • Amazon Echo Show 11: The Amazon Echo Show 11 is Amazon's newest Echo Show model, so we're not expecting a huge discount on this one, but it was listed for $169.99 on May 1, so if you're looking for a new smart display, there's still hope. Right now, it's still listed at its full $219.99 retail price.

  • Amazon Echo Hub: Right now, the Amazon Echo Hub will run you $179.99. But, if you're patient, we expect it to drop $60 by the time the sale starts. It hit $119.99 during Amazon's October Prime Day sale last year, so $60 is our minimum discount expectation.

Smart speakers and bedside clocks

  • Amazon Echo Dot Max: The Amazon Echo Dot Max is still sitting at its full retail price of $99.99, but like the Amazon Echo Show 11, it had a substantial price drop on May 1. We expect to see this device get down to $74.99 during the sale to match that previous all-time low.

  • Amazon Echo Spot: The Amazon Echo Spot is full price at $79.99 right now, so we advise waiting. We've seen earlier iterations of this clock hit $44.99 during past savings events, which is a much fairer price for a bedside display.

  • Amazon Echo Pop Kids: The cartoon-themed editions of the Amazon Echo Pop Kids are holding firm at $49.99 right now. These models usually drop to half off during actual site-wide sales, so hold out for the $24.99 mark.

What you can buy on sale today

If you just can't wait until June 23 to buy a smart speaker, there are a few Alexa-enabled devices on sale right now, including:

The main takeaway here is to not let early promotional banners rush you into paying full retail price for an Echo speaker. Bookmark your favorites, build your cart, and wait for the real first-party price cuts to drop later this month.

5 Prime Day iPhone deals to get ahead of the price increase, including a free iPhone from T-Mobile

Mashable - Tue, 06/23/2026 - 09:34

Amazon Prime Day kicks off earlier than ever this year. Amazon must know we're all looking for a good deal in an economy with ever-rising prices. If you're on team iPhone, those price increases aren't expected to chill out anytime soon. Tim Cook just announced iPhone price hikes are "unavoidable," citing a chip problem that doesn't seem to have a solution.

Our recommendation is to shop deals as soon as possible if you're in need of an iPhone upgrade. Amazon doesn't currently have any iPhone deals, but we're seeing some great options elsewhere, including Best Buy and T-Mobile.

Here's where to snag the best iPhone deals before the price increase. If you're shopping for other Apple devices like AirPods or a MacBook, check out the best Apple deals ahead of Prime Day.

It doesn't get better than free. With no trade-in required, T-Mobile has an excellent deal if you're eyeing the new iPhone 17 Pro. It's free! Of course, there's a slight catch, but it's not terrible. All you need to do is sign on to a T-Mobile Experience More or Experience Beyond plan for 24 months. Over these consecutive months, T-Mobile applies a promo credit to bring the price of the phone to zill. Plus, the Cosmic Orange colorway makes a statement.

You'll be getting 128GB storage, 1 6.1-inch display, and the A18 chip. While this isn't the newest model, it's only one generation behind.

I test vacuums professionally, and I found the 10+ best on sale during Prime Day 2026

Mashable - Tue, 06/23/2026 - 09:32
A quick look at the best deals on vacuums ahead of Prime Day Best self-emptying cordless vacuum deal Shark PowerDetect Speed — Luxe Collection $399.99 (save $100 at SharkNinja) Get Deal Best Dyson vacuum deal Dyson V12 Detect Slim $479.99 (save $250 at Dyson) Get Deal Best budget robot vacuum deal Eufy C28 $449.99 at Amazon (save $300 at Amazon) Get Deal Best robot vacuum on sale overall Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete $1,459.99 (save $240 at Amazon) Get Deal

As someone who tests new vacuums every month, I could easily make a case for why robot vacuums are better or why cordless vacuums are better. If you're having trouble deciding, my ultimate advice is always just to get both — I promise there are budget-friendly ways to do so, especially when so many good vacuums are on sale for Prime Day.

Should I get a robot vacuum or stick vacuum?

A robot vacuum is the way to go if you know, deep down, that the only way your home will be vacuumed every day is if a robot does it. A cordless vacuum is the way to go if you're picky about cleanliness and find the chore to be cathartic rather than tedious. If you feel passionately about one side, there are plenty of deals on splurge-worthy vacuums that I've tested like the Dyson V15 Detect Extra or Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete.

But most people can probably see themselves wanting access to both types of vacuums, depending on how busy their day is. In that case, I'd recommend splitting your vacuum budget. Instead of spending $700 to $1,000 on one really nice vacuum, you could buy a budget-friendly stick vacuum like the $269.99 Shark Clean & Empty and a budget-friendly robot vacuum like the $399.99 Dreame D30 Ultra CE. Both are still incredibly powerful for their price, and there will be a ton of mix-and-match options as more vacuum deals pop up through the end of Prime Day on June 27.

For years, we've been conditioned to shove ugly vacuums into closets when not in use — or let the plasticky gray or black designs sit out in the living space, regardless of how badly they clash with our decor. That changed when Shark released its Luxe Collection at the beginning of June. Its powerful self-emptying PowerDetect Speed stick vacuum now comes in four chic earth tones: Oatstone, Harbor Slate, Walnut, and Sagewood. They're all $100 off at SharkNinja.

The Sagewood vacuum matches my jewel-toned living room deliciously. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable If I'm going to let a vacuum be this visible, it needs to be this pretty. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable

Not only are these Shark PowerDetect Speed models the prettiest vacuums I've ever seen, but the Shark PowerDetect Speed is the best cordless vacuum for pet hair on carpet that I've ever tested. The suction power is palpable in your hand, but it's not so intense that the vacuum gets jammed on carpet. All debris is automatically emptied into the storage dock each time you hang it up, so your next cleaning session will always start with a clean slate. You'll easily be able to see just how much gunk was sucked up from each room, specifically.

I tested and loved the Eufy C28 when it came out in February 2026. And I have a feeling it'll remain one of my most recommended robot vacuum and mop combos for the next year or so.

The Eufy C28 is probably the most affordable roller mop robot vacuum you'll find, and easily the most heavy-duty mopping robot vacuum out there this season. The fluffy roller spans the entire bottom of the vacuum and rinses itself with fresh water as it's mopping, making it a far more reliable choice for soaking up large liquid spills (without smearing them around) than other cheap mopping robot vacuums. Its self-emptying dock also washes and dries the mop after each cleaning, so it's easier to forgive how painfully loud it is.

With Prime Day coming June 23 to 26, we're looking out for all the best home and kitchen deals, and Ninja has some standout early deals.

We're still a couple of weeks out from Prime Day, but right now you can save over $100 on Ninja appliances.

Your air fryer should be doing a lot more than air frying. With a combo machine like the Ninja Foodi DT251 10-in-1 Smart XL Air Fryer, you're basically getting a second oven. In addition to air frying, you can bake, broil, toast, and roast all in one machine, plus it comes with a built-in thermometer so you always know when your food is done — aka no more undercooked meat anxiety.

Ahead of Prime Day, the Ninja Foodi DT251 10-in-1 Smart XL Air Fryer is the best Ninja deal to shop. Normally $379.99, get it for just $249.98, saving you $130.01.
