Amazon's October Prime Day — formally known as Prime Big Deal Days — kicked off Oct. 7, and Samsung deals are delivering. This is hardly surprising, as Samsung is one of the brands we regularly see big discounts on during major shopping events.

So far, we're mainly seeing deals on Samsung Galaxy phones, Galaxy tablets, gaming monitors, and TVs, but stay tuned as the Prime shopping extravaganza progresses. While we haven't yet seen a discount on the Z Fold7, we do have a record-low sale price on and Galaxy Ring.

Check out the best Samsung deals live for the official October Prime Day event below.

Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.

Anyone looking to upgrade their phone this fall is in luck: the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7, the smaller of Samsung's latest foldables, is $265 off at Amazon which is an all-time low price. It features a new cover display that goes edge-to-edge at 4.1 inches — the largest external display on a flip-style phone to date — plus a new 120Hz refresh rate, the ability to interact with AI features without opening the phone, and the ability to use the camera to show things to the onboard AI. "The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the flex you think it is," Mashable's reviewer writes.

The best October Prime Day speaker deals include Mashable favorites

The best October Prime Day speaker deals at a glance: Best overall Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian $79.99 (save $69.96) Get Deal Best Anker Soundcore deal Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go $19.99 (save $15) Get Deal Best Amazon speaker deal Amazon Echo Spot $44.99 (save $30) Get Deal BEST UE DEAL Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 $66.49 (Save $33.50) Get Deal Best Bose deal Bose SoundLink Revolve+ $179 (save $120) Get Deal Best Sony deal Sony SRS-XB100 $33 (save $26.99) Get Deal

Whether your fall schedule consists of hosting parties, heading out on camping trips, or solo nights in, a quality speaker makes a great companion. Not to mention, they make excellent gifts — practically everyone listens to music, right? No matter the reason, if you're in the market for a Bluetooth speaker of any shape or size, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days is a great time to score one for a sweet price.

The shopping event informally known as October Prime Day kicked off on Oct. 7, and Amazon has already dropped plenty of deals. Speaker discounts from brands like Bose, Beats, Anker Soundcore, Ultimate Ears, and Amazon itself are pretty impressive. Sony's heavy hitters are on sale, but not as impressive as we'd hoped. Meanwhile, Sonos speaker discounts are practically nonexistent.

We'll be tracking the best speaker deals throughout the Prime Big Deal Days event and updating this page with the latest and greatest prices.

Note: Deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

The speaker Mashable's reviewer called an "underrated gem" just hit a ridiculously low price for Prime Big Deal Days. This 67% discount blows the previous all-time low for the Beats Pill out of the water by almost $50. The discount only applies to the dark and light gray Kim Kardashian variants, but unless you're married to a specific color option, who cares? They all work the same. The updated 2024 model features a 24-hour battery life, a built-in power bank, elevated sound with lossless audio, and crisp call quality. It's even earned itself a spot on our list of the best Bluetooth speakers and checks all the right boxes. Even at full price, it's a solid value. At less than $80, it's easily the best speaker deal we've seen this Prime Day.

The formidable iPad Pro is one of the most powerful tablets you'll find from Apple. It offers the zippy, incredibly beefy M4 chip, and it's unbelievably thin at just 0.21 inches, weighing less than a pound. It's super sleek, perfectly portable, and its power rivals many laptops and some of Apple's own MacBooks. Not only does it work as a daily driver for professionals and creatives who need something that can keep up with them, but it's the perfect tablet in terms of ability and flexibility for just about anyone else as well. It offers a runtime of 16 hours, it can be used as the "heart" of a laptop setup with a portable keyboard, and it's fast enough to handle anything you throw at it. If you want a snappy Apple product but don't want to shell out for a MacBook, this is the next best thing by far.

The 9 best drone deals for Prime Day in October, including DJI and more

Mashable - Wed, 10/08/2025 - 08:24
Best Prime Day drone deals Best drone deal overall Potensic ATOM SE $249.99 (save $70) Get Deal Best DJI drone deal DJI Neo Mini Drone 159 (Save $40 ) Get Deal Best drone deal for kids Contixo F19 Drone $49.99 (save $30) Get Deal

Prime Day (and its fall spinoff, Prime Big Deal Days) is usually one of the best times of the year to buy a drone. This year, however, things are a little bit complicated. As you might have heard, there’s a potential U.S. ban on DJI drones due to growing concerns over national security and a required risk assessment that all DJI products must undergo before they can be sold in the United States. This, of course, has caused issues with the availability and pricing of popular models, with many being listed as “out of stock” on the DJI website.

SEE ALSO: Amazon's October Prime Day is coming on October 7 — here are 30+ early deals to shop now

The good news is that Amazon has a ton of drones, including DJI, on sale for Prime Day. But there’s a catch: many of these deals are on drones sold from sketchy, third-party sellers with ridiculously jacked-up prices. With our help, you can find the deals that are actually worth it.

Be the first to know about the best October Prime Day deals. Follow Mashable's Prime Big Deal Days live blog and keep checking back for the latest discounts, stock alerts, and deal drops.

Here are the best Prime Big Deal Days drone deals we could find as of Oct. 7:

Best drone deal overall Potensic ATOM SE $249.99 at Amazon
$299.99 Save $50 Get Deal Why we like it

For under $250, getting a drone with this many features is pretty rare. The Potensic ATOM SE shoots stable 4K video, takes 12MP photos, and has an impressive 62-minute flight time thanks to the two batteries included in this kit. It's a great middle-ground for people who want to move beyond a basic beginner drone without shelling out for a DJI.

With this deal, you get the drone itself (which weighs less than 249g, so no need to register it with the FAA), a remote controller, two batteries, and a carrying bag. It’s a complete kit that has everything you need to start flying right out of the box.

Best DJI drone deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon DJI Neo Mini Drone $159 at Amazon
$199 Save $40 Get Deal Why we like it

The DJI Neo Mini Drone is 20% off at Amazon, making it just $159, down from $199. This lightweight drone is just 135 grams, and it comes with a wide range of features, including a 4K camera with palm takeoff and landing. You don't even need a controller to get it up into the air if you'd rather not use one, but it's still simple to use and maneuver around in the air. It's perfect for tossing into a backpack and heading out, especially since it can take off with the push of a button. That makes it a much simpler prospect for just about any user. So if you're looking for a first-time drone or just something compact to take out and about, this is it and then some, all for under $200 while it's still in stock.

It’s actually really hard to find a decent drone for kids on Amazon that isn’t sold by a sketchy third-party vendor. But other retailers, like Target, have a wider selection of child-friendly drones that you can trust for a reasonable price.

The Contixo F19 Drone looks like a “real drone” instead of a toy and comes with all the things your kid needs to get started, including a remote control, beginner-friendly features, and an integrated camera for aerial photography and videography. It’s also foldable and comes with a carrying case, so they can take it wherever they go.

"As someone who primarily listens to music through AirPods Pro, the noise cancellation on the Sony headphones is a game-changer," she said. "I found myself reaching for these headphones over my AirPods."

Hurdle hints and answers for October 8, 2025

Mashable - Wed, 10/08/2025 - 06:00

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

I love the Loftie Alarm Clock, and its on sale during October Prime Day

Mashable - Wed, 10/08/2025 - 04:45

Save 20%: The Loftie alarm clock is getting a rare discount this October Prime Day — as of Oct. 7, its priced dropped to $135.99, slashing $34 off its usual $169.99 price tag.

Loftie alarm clock $135.99 at Amazon
$169.99 Save $34 Get Deal

Let's get one thing straight: $165 is an objectively stupid price to pay for an alarm clock. I'm willing to acknowledge that.

However, I'm also willing to stand by my purchase of the Loftie alarm clock, and genuinely think it's one of the smartest purchases I've ever made. For one, there is a case to be made for investing in sleeping well — and waking up peacefully. There's also a case to be made for softening the blow of the price tag by buying this clock on sale. I bought mine refurbished, but this rare October Prime Day deal also helps, shaving $34 off the price and bringing the clock down to $135.99.

A great reason to pick up an alarm clock in the first place is to give yourself the freedom of leaving your phone outside of your bedroom at night. Though it's technically a smart clock and compatible with an app, the Loftie clock can be used solely as a non-companion app device after the initial setup, making it perfect for my purposes.

SEE ALSO: I tested sleep earbuds for a few months: Here are the 3 I'd buy

Maybe the best part is the alarm tones — one of the reasons I struggled to kick my phone habit is that I hate being jolted awake, and I hate ruining the sound of listening to music in an effort to set a song I like as an alarm. Loftie truly accomplished the impossible in its "getup" and "wakeup tones," which are soothing sounds that play at a preset interval (I preferred the three-minute setting) to lull you into consciousness. It is the sonic equivalent of the sun softly lighting up a room, and that alone makes this alarm clock worth every penny to me.

Other features include: a Bluetooth speaker that can stream audio from your phone, a red mode for the display, a night light, great customer service, sleep machine sounds and guided meditations, and a bed signal to remind you to wind down. Plus, it looks great on a nightstand.

October Prime Day: boring but essential household items worth stocking up on

Mashable - Wed, 10/08/2025 - 03:46

The Prime Big Deal Days sale, Amazon’s mid-October follow-up to summer Prime Day, is also about less exciting yet vital household supplies, to go with all the fancy gadgets and smart TV bargains. 

Alongside snapping up the best new deals on Apple products, it’s also the perfect excuse to load up on the practical stuff: paper towels, cleaning wipes, laundry tabs, and batteries that disappear faster than your weekend.

If you’d rather skip the frenzy of last-minute restocks later this fall, these discounts make it easy to bulk up your supply closet for less.

The best boring but vital household essentials deals during October Prime Day Cascade Free & Clear Dishwasher Pods (47 Count) $13.29 Get Deal ARM & HAMMER Deep Clean Stain Formula Laundry Detergent Power Paks, Laundry Stain Remover, Sparkling Clean Scent, (44 Count) $7.99 Get Deal Energizer AA and AAA Batteries, 48 Count, Combo Pack $23.09 Get Deal Johnson's Baby Sleepy Time Bedtime Gift Set $11.24 Get Deal Fresh Step Clean Paws Cat Litter with Febreze Freshness (37lbs) $24.57 Get Deal Amazon Basics USB-A to Lightning Charger Cable, Nylon Braided Cord: 6 foot, Rose Gold $11 Get Deal Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects – Teeth Whitening Kit, 22 Treatments (20 + 2 Bonus) $29.99 Get Deal

If you’re ever going to buy toilet paper in bulk with a top-tier household essentials brand, this is the time to do it. This Georgia-Pacific Angel Soft Professional Series case includes 80 individually wrapped rolls, each with 450 two-ply sheets, and it’s currently marked down to around $71.93 (was $84.95); that’s about 15% off the typical price. 

That works out to roughly 20 cents per 100 sheets, which is excellent for a premium-grade paper that’s soft, strong, and septic-safe. Made from sustainably sourced trees and packaged neatly for long-term storage, this is the kind of “unexciting” deal that actually pays off every single day.

The 22 best October Prime Day tech deals, hand-picked by a tech editor

Mashable - Wed, 10/08/2025 - 03:45

Don't spend hours scrolling through Amazon, because I already found the best Prime Day tech deals for you. As Mashable's tech editor, my inbox is full of brands trying to get me to cover their newest gadgets, AI models, and futuristic wearables. I get to test the latest flagship headphones, OLED gaming monitors, and foldable phones for Mashable readers. And I gotta say — I love my job.

For Prime Big Deal Days, aka October Prime Day 2025, Amazon (as well as Best Buy, Walmart, and other retailers and brands) have discounted some of my favorite gadgets of the year. I'm also spotting Prime Day deals on boring but essential products like memory cards, wireless chargers, and USB-C cables. So, I've gathered all of the top discounts into one place for Mashable readers. Remember: Prime Big Deal Days only lasts from Oct. 7 to 8, so you only have two days to save.

Whether you've been waiting to invest in a new laptop or 65-inch TV, or just need to replace some tech that's past its expiration date, the next 48 hours are going to be a prime time to shop. So, without any further preamble, let's get into my favorite Prime Day tech deals from brands like Apple, Samsung, DJI, Dyson, Shark, and Bose. I will also be providing live updates in our October Prime Day live blog.

Apple AirPods starting at $89

There's just something about the phrase "$89 AirPods" that sounds right, doesn't it? In the tariffs era, the fact that you can buy new AirPods for $89 feels like a small miracle. While all eyes will be on the new AirPods Pro 3, if you don't need ANC — or have a tendency to lose your earbuds — this purchase is a no-brainer.

$129 Save $40 Get Deal Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

When I say I'm a book nerd, I mean that I literally collect rare and first-edition books. And my Kindle Paperwhite goes with me everywhere. Amazon doesn't always offer Prime Day Kindle deals, and this year's discounts are surprisingly good. While I recommend getting the Kindle Paperwhite (without lockscreen ads), the base Kindle is also on sale.

$109.99 Save $25 Get Deal Apple AirTag (4-Pack)

AirTags are just 50 cents shy of their all-time low price at Amazon. (Best Buy is also matching this price.) These popular trackers use Apple's massive Find My network to help you track down lost items, and they've never been more affordable. Buy the four-pack and pay just $16.24 per tracker.

Mashable has been testing the new Anker Solix power stations, and once you buy one, you'll never go camping without them again. They're also handy for music festivals or emergency blackouts. For Prime Day, you can grab these popular power stations at record prices. For Prime Big Deal Days, these appliances have massive discounts, with savings up to $1,200.

Looking for the best Prime Day deal on noise-cancelling headphones? While you can grab the Apple AirPods Max at their lowest-ever price, I actually recommend the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones. With a cool $100 discount, these are my top pick in the headphones category. They're the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn, and the ANC is phenomenal.

Update: As of 11:45 a.m. ET, Amazon is also selling these headphones in the limited-edition plum color for just $284. I'm honestly shocked by this one, and I expect this lightning deal to move very quickly.

I've said it before, but Anker makes my favorite charging accessories, and I use their stuff every single day. Prime Day is always a great time to stock up on their power banks, cables, and wall adapters. My top recommendation this year is this clever MagSafe gadget that's part card reader, part charger. If you're a creator who's constantly offloading photos or drone footage, it's a lifesaver. It lets you transfer files from an SD or microSD card while still charging your iPhone, which is a ridiculously smart design. I'm also a huge fan of their super-slim Nano power bank, which snaps right onto the back of your iPhone and is perfect for travel.

The M4 MacBook Air was released earlier this year, and it's been shockingly affordable. But now it's back at its lowest-ever price of $799. That's a $200 discount on a new Apple laptop with a blazing-fast M4 chip, a gorgeous Liquid Retina display, and a hefty 16GB of RAM.

The new Surface Laptop 7 is one of the first Copilot+ PCs, billed as the "fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever." It's incredibly light at just 2.7 pounds, has a battery that actually lasts all day, and the new Snapdragon X Plus chip is impressively fast. At $250 off, you're getting a brand new, future-proof machine that gives the MacBook a serious run for its money.

$899.99 Save $250 Get Deal Samsung The Frame art TVs

I think Samsung's cult-favorite art TV is the best TV in the world, full stop. While it doesn't have the most advanced display for gaming or watching movies, there's just nothing else like it. The ultra-thin TV has a magic-like matte display, and it transforms into a work of art when not in use. The often-imitated TV usually gets a discount during big sales, and this year, both the 2024 and 2025 models are on sale.

If you opt for the more expensive 2025 edition, you'll get an improved AI-powered processor and better backlighting for deeper blacks and improved contrast.

Amazon just previewed its new generation of more advanced (and more expensive) Echo Show devices, so take advantage of this sale on the smart displays. Amazon is likely clearing the way for its new devices, but this model gives you all the necessary functionality and cross-device support you really need.

I have a small army of robot vacuums in my apartment at any given time, and since I live in New York City, space is at a premium. That means I have high standards for my robovacs, and Shark's underrated vacuums have always impressed me. If you're a pet owner, the Shark Pet cordless stick vacuum is not only one of the best Prime Day tech deals this year, but also comes personally recommended by Mashable reporters.

I've been testing party speakers for Mashable for years, and JBL consistently outperforms so-called premium brands. The JBL Flip 6 is actually my most-recommended speaker, and we've also tested and loved the brand's new boombox-style Party Box. Both are on sale for Prime Day.

I've tested a few smartphone gimbals, and DJI makes the best one by far. It's deceptively simple to use and provides pro-level stabilization and face tracking. If you're a creator (or aspiring creator), then this gimbal is a must-have IMO. I'm keeping a close eye on the top Prime Day deals on DJI products, so keep checking back for more savings.

Prime Day is one of the best times to buy a new TV, and Prime Big Deal Days is already delivering major doorbuster deals on budget TVs. You can find 50-, 55-, and 65-inch flatscreens for under $300 this year, including smart models from Roku, Hisense, and Fire TV.

My favorite TV brand for the past few years has been Samsung, which makes impressive QLED, OLED, and art TVs. And I wouldn't even consider buying one unless it was Prime Day or Black Friday. This premium QLED smart TV is on sale for $350 off its retail price for a limited time. Equipped with Samsung's latest AI processor, this 2025 model TV offers incredible value at this price point.

If the built-in apps on your TV have gotten frustratingly slow, the Fire TV Stick 4K is the easiest fix in tech. For less than $25, you can make any TV smarter and faster. This latest model supports all the key formats (4K Ultra HD, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+) and has WiFi 6 for smoother streaming. The Alexa voice remote is also surprisingly good at finding what you want to watch. It's one of those classic Prime Day doorbuster deals I recommend to everyone.

Whether you need a compact second monitor for your home office or a premium gaming monitor, Samsung always offers fantastic monitor deals during big sales. For home offices, I'd recommend the bevel-less 22-inch business monitor, which is a steal at its current price. And for gamers, the Odyssey line of monitors offers stunning visuals and cutting-edge display specs.

I love Jackery's products. The brand's popular portable power stations are a staple at campgrounds and music festivals, but they can also give you a much-needed power-up during blackouts. While this is the older version of the Jackery Explorer series, I've never seen it priced this low before.

$259 Save $100 Get Deal A hip foldable flip phone

Earlier this year, I said 2025 was the year the foldable phone became a smart option for everyday users, not just early adopters. Personally, I prefer the convenient size and form factor of the smaller flip-style foldables.

As much as I love the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 released over the summer, I actually think people have been sleeping on the Motorola Razr Ultra. If you want flagship-quality in a flip phone, this stylish smartphone has a lot to offer. It has an insane battery life and is packed with AI features, if that's your thing. Plus, it comes with 512GB of memory, compared to the Z Flip 7's starting memory of 128GB. For a limited time, save $300 on this unlocked smartphone.

Amazon promised big savings on both Beats and Bose headphones this year, and the retailer delivered. This year, you can grab big discounts of 25% or more on some of my favorite wireless headphones, including Beats. I'm a big fan of the Beats Fit Pro in particular, as they're the best workout earbuds you can buy for under $200.

This isn't the sexiest gadget on my list, but it might be the most useful. These Kasa Smart Plugs can turn just about any floor lamp or fan into a smart device that I can control with my voice or schedule (no hub needed). They're incredibly reliable and easy to set up. A single plug is a good deal, but the real value is in this four-pack, which brings the cost down to just over $6 per plug. You can never have too many.

Your new Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or DJI drone is going to need more storage, and Prime Day is the absolute best time to buy a memory card. My go-to is always the Samsung EVO Select line — they're fast, reliable, and this deal on the 512GB model is a fantastic value. Don't skimp and get a smaller card; you'll thank me later when you don't have to constantly delete games or 4K drone footage.

30+ Apple products are on sale for record lows this October Prime Day — including the new Apple Watches

Mashable - Wed, 10/08/2025 - 03:30

Amazon's Apple deals are looking especially juicy and ripe this week. The retail giant's fourth annual Prime Big Deal Days sale runs through Wednesday, Oct. 8, and it's ushering in some record-low prices on Apple Watches, AirPods, iPads, and MacBooks.

The best October Prime Day Apple deals at a glance: Best AirPods deal Apple AirPods 4 $89 (save $40) Get Deal Best Apple Watch deal Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS + cellular, 42mm) $329 (save $170) Get Deal Best iPad Deal Apple iPad Air, 11-inch (M3, WiFi, 128GB) $449 (save $150) Get Deal Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $799 (save $200) Get Deal Best Accessories Deal Apple AirTag $19.99 (save $9.01) Get Deal

This year, the "October Prime Day" sale (Amazon's unofficial Black Friday kickoff event) comes hot on the heels of Apple's "Awe Dropping" launch of new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods. Deals on the new iPhone 17 series or iPhone Air are highly unlikely — no luck yet, at least — but the brand-new Apple Watch Series 11 and SE 3 are already seeing their first teensy discounts in honor of the occasion.

If you don't mind some slight spec downgrades, Amazon is doling out even more impressive discounts to those wearables' predecessors: The Apple Watch Series 10 and second-gen SE with cellular connectivity are on sale for $329 and $219, respectively. Those prices blow past their previous all-time lows.

SEE ALSO: 200+ October Prime Day deals: Save on Apple, Sony, Samsung, and Lego

Other Apple devices that are cheaper than ever this Prime Big Deal Days include the AirPods 4 (now starting at just $89), the 11-inch M3 iPad Air (now $449), and the M4 MacBook Air (now $799 in the 13-inch size). In total, we've spotted over two dozen Apple products that are chilling at record-low prices. Even more impressively, Best Buy hasn't been able to beat any of them during its competing Techtober Sale; it's just matching some.

Read on for a rundown of our top picks. We'll continue to monitor prices (marked with a 🔥) as Prime Big Deal Days progresses, so check back often.

$129 Save $40 Get Deal Why we like them

Apple's latest wireless earbuds are one of our favorite pairs for budget shoppers, offering "five hours of battery life and smooth sound quality," per Mashable's Samantha Mangino. (She especially recommends them for iPhone and iPad owners because they connect seamlessly with those devices.) Dirt-cheap AirPods are a Prime Day staple, and Amazon really delivered this Prime Big Deal Days: The standard AirPods are only $89 right now (normally $129), while the ANC version is just $119 (usually $179). You'll lock in an all-time low either way.

$499 Save $170 Get Deal Why we like it

While the Apple Watch Series 10 is virtually identical to its successor in terms of features and design, its battery life is a bit worse. That's not ideal if you plan to regularly use tracking tools like Sleep Score, which get less accurate in Low Power Mode, but it's an easy sacrifice at a price like this. The rose gold Series 10 with cellular connectivity and a light blush sport band is now just $329 — a 34% savings and a new all-time low. Before this month, it never dipped below $370.

This deal is so good, we almost think it might be a fluke on Amazon's part (either that or an inventory-clearing clearance discount).

The latest 11-inch iPad Air isn't vastly different from its M2 predecessor, but its better battery life (over 14 hours per charge) and faster M3 processor are both appreciated upgrades. That impressive performance, plus the fact that iPadOS 26 now supports a nifty windowing system, makes it a solid MacBook alternative for shoppers on a budget. We think it's the best iPad for most people, especially now that it's down to just $449 at Amazon — that's its best price on record.

The M4 MacBook Air is an absolute powerhouse, outperforming 89% of the laptops in our current testing database. Compared to the previous-gen M3 model, it features a better 12MP Center Stage camera and open-lid support for two external displays. The 13-inch model is now on sale for just $799 (typically $999), which is yet another all-time low.

All of the Pokémon Loungefly backpacks on sale during October Prime Day

Mashable - Wed, 10/08/2025 - 03:23

A binder stuffed with rare full art trainers isn't the only form of a Pokémon collection. For those who don't do TCG, a closet full of Loungefly backpacks for every outfit is just as much of a status symbol in the fandom. And compared to Pokémon cards, these backpacks are way easier to find in stock and on sale during Amazon events like Prime Big Deal Days.

The iconic mini leather backpacks typically retail for between $80 and $90, but you can snag several Pokémon-stitched iterations between $50 and $70 as of Oct. 7. Fans of Eevee evolutions have the most options right now, though we wouldn't be surprised if more options dropped throughout the day on Oct. 8. (This Meowth backpack was 50% off earlier on Oct. 7 and could easily hit $39.99 again.) We're keeping track of the Loungefly Pokémon backpack deals below, as well as a running list of other Amazon deals on other Pokémon merch throughout the sale.

It doesn't look all that different from older MacBooks with M-something chips, but its upgraded 12MP Center Stage camera was a welcome upgrade to our reviewer.

The black variant with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage is marked down to $957 for Prime Big Deal Days (or 32% off).

The DJI Mic Mini is one of the best upgrades for content creators looking to up their audio game — with two transmitters, a receiver with level controls, a charging case, companion app, clip magnets, and four windscreens, this pocket mic comes with all the essentials — and it sounds great. Mashable's Bethany Allard wrote with her experience using the mic that it "offers a lot of versatility, and for a great value. That makes it a solid option for making vlogs and TikToks, and for anyone who feels less than confident with their tech skills — once I plugged the receiver into my phone, the mics connected easily and started working with the camera app automatically."

The Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro is back down to a record-low price for October Prime Day

Mashable - Wed, 10/08/2025 - 03:12

SAVE $20: The Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro is on sale at Amazon for $79, down from the list price of $99. That's a 20% discount that matches the all-time low price at Amazon.

$99 Save $20 Get Deal

The fitness tracker and smartwatch market is pretty crowded these days. You have tons of options from top-tier brands like Apple, Garmin, Samsung, and Google if you're hoping to track daily activities and sleep. But if you're looking for an affordable option that doesn't skimp out on features, there's a new kid on the block, and it's on sale during October Prime Day.

As of Oct. 7, the Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro is on sale for $79 at Amazon, marked down from the standard price of $99. That's a $20 savings thanks to the 20% discount. It also matches the record-low at Amazon.

With bragging rights of over 130 sport modes, the CMF Watch 3 Pro takes aim at the big boys of fitness trackers that cost hundreds more. Plus, Nothing says the watch can get up to 13 days of battery life which is a claim most can't come close to.

While we don't have a full review of the smartwatch yet here at Mashable, I've been testing the watch for about a week and so far, I have very few complaints. It's a pretty big watch, I'll admit, coming in just one size with a 1.43-inch AMOLED display. When I first unboxed it, I thought it was gonna be way too big for my wrist, but I kinda dig the oversized look. I'm also not mad about the bright orange color. However, Nothing recently introduced the swoon-worthy light green colorway and I feel a bit smitten.

SEE ALSO: Fitness tracker deals are popping off on October Prime Day

The Watch 3 Pro was super easy to set up and the app is both highly useful and intuitive. I've yet to try out all the features and put the near two-week battery life claim to the test, but so far I'm feeling really good about the Watch 3 Pro. Pair this with its Prime Day sale price of $79, and I think we have a winner. Snag this deal for yourself as a fall treat or grab as a Christmas gift to get ahead on holiday shopping.

We're in the thick of another Amazon Prime Day, y'all. Well, technically, it's called Prime Big Deal Days, but the names are practically interchangeable at this point. The shopping event officially kicked off Oct. 7, and tons of items are getting the deal treatment.

SEE ALSO: 200+ October Prime Day deals: Save on Apple, Sony, Samsung, and Lego

Amazon's own devices typically see some of the biggest discounts during Prime events, including Echo speakers, displays, and other smart gadgets, so we're keeping our eyes peeled during the event. While a few Echo devices are hanging out at their best prices ever, like the Echo Buds with ANC and the Echo Hub, some others haven't quite dropped to previous lows yet. For example, the Echo Dot is on sale for $34.99 (reg. $49.99), but we've seen it drop to as low as $22.99 in the past. We're still watching to see if that record-low deal resurfaces

As for the four new Echo devices Amazon unveiled at the end of September, we're keeping a close watch to see if they get their first-ever price drops during the October Prime event.

Below, we've rounded up the best Amazon Echo device deals for October Prime Day 2025. We'll be updating this list as more deals go live, so be sure to check back. For more than just Echo deals, check out our full list of Amazon devices on sale for Prime Big Deal Days.

The Amazon Echo Buds with ANC are now quite a few years old, so we wouldn't enthusiastically recommend you run out and buy them at full price. However, they're down to just $34.99 — a massive 71% or $85 drop from their $120 list price — which makes a world of difference. This is only the second time we've seen the buds at this record-low.

Sure, they won't compete with the AirPods Pro or other luxury earbuds, but they're still solid noise-cancellers with a comfortable fit, decent sound quality, and acceptable battery power. As Mashable's Alex Perry wrote in his review, "Considering how much cheaper these are than other big-name ANC-enabled earbuds, it's pretty incredible that the ANC works as well as it does." And at only $34.99, they're cheaper than any of the earbuds on our list of the best budget picks.

The formidable iPad Pro is one of the most powerful tablets you'll find from Apple. It offers the zippy, incredibly beefy M4 chip, and it's unbelievably thin at just 0.21 inches, weighing less than a pound. It's super sleek, perfectly portable, and its power rivals many laptops and some of Apple's own MacBooks. Not only does it work as a daily driver for professionals and creatives who need something that can keep up with them, but it's the perfect tablet in terms of ability and flexibility for just about anyone else as well. It offers a runtime of 16 hours, it can be used as the "heart" of a laptop setup with a portable keyboard, and it's fast enough to handle anything you throw at it. If you want a snappy Apple product but don't want to shell out for a MacBook, this is the next best thing by far.

Add a 4TB SSD to your M4 Mac mini for less than $300 on Prime Day

Mashable - Wed, 10/08/2025 - 02:15
Deals to upgrade your M4 Mac mini Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD $199.99 (save $128) Get Deal Satechi Mac mini M4 Hub & Stand $79.99 (save $50) Get Deal M4 Mac mini $499 (save $100) Get Deal

Apple's M4 Mac mini is far and away the best bang for your buck if you're in the market for a new computer.

Apple's M4 Silicone chipset is its most powerful yet and if you snagged the deal that Mashable wrote about a few weeks ago, you got yourself a new Mac mini for less than $500. (The $100 off deal is still available for Prime Day, by the way!)

However, there is one major drawback. The base model M4 Mac mini only has 256GB of SSD storage space. Want to double the storage capacity to 512GB? You'll lose out on the $499 deal and find yourself paying the $799 retail price for the next model up. That's $300 more for 512GB total.

What if I told you there's a way better deal, and you can add a whopping 4TB of SSD storage space to your Mac mini? Because there is. And Prime Day lowers that better deal's price even more.

Currently, for Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon has the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB SSD for sale for $199.99. Amazon says that's 39% off the listing price of $327.99. But, the less than $200 price for Prime Day is also around $50 less than the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB SSD usually retails for when it's on sale. You can also snag the 1TB option for just $59.99, which is 43% off the listing price.

The Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSDs won't just boost your Mac's storage, but also how fast it is as well with read/write speeds up to 7,250/6,300MB/s. If you're editing video, creating animations, or developing apps, this internal SSD will perform better than most.

You might have heard that Apple Mac minis do not have upgradeable storage. And that's true. You can't open your Mac mini and install this internal SSD. But there is a workaround, and it's also on sale for Prime Day.

The Satechi Mac mini M4 Hub was released earlier this year, which basically works as a dock for your Mac mini, adding additional USB ports as well as an SD card reader. It also notably adds an NVMe SSD enclosure. Just pop your Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB SSD in the Satechi Mac mini M4 Hub and the drive appears on your Mac just like any other drive. I use this exact setup for my own personal Mac mini and it works flawlessly.

Amazon currently has the Satechi Mac mini M4 Hub for $79.99. That's 38% off its regular price for Prime Day.

Apple charges an extra $1,200 to upgrade your M4 Mac mini with a 4TB SSD drive when ordering it as a custom option direct from the company. You just added 4TB to your M4 Mac mini for $280 on Prime Day.
