Whether you're looking to upgrade your luggage or in-flight entertainment, there are plenty of discounts to help you do so on a budget.

So you can book a trip and get all of the gear you need to make it successful, all while saving some money.

Mashable's shopping experts are keeping track of all the best travel deals Prime Day has to offer, including luggage, noise-cancelling headphones, Kindles, charging accessories, and more. Don't see what you're looking for? Check back for more as we get closer to the big day(s).

Instead of relying on Uber and Lyft to get around on your next trip, you can rent your own wheels and save. For Prime Day, Amazon customers get exclusive car rental benefits at Budget. Sign in to your Amazon account on Budget's website to unlock up to 30% off base rates on rentals for your next trip. Plus, 10% of the time and mileage charges incurred will be returned to you in the form of an Amazon gift card. You'll receive your gift card at the email associated with your Amazon account about 48 hours after your rental is complete. Head over to the promo page for more details on terms and conditions.

$89.99 Save $44.10 with on-page coupon Get Deal Why we like it

Traveling is already expensive enough as it is. Opt for a carry-on only and avoid those checked bag fees (compression packing cubes are your best friend). This one from American Tourister will get the job done and won't cost you a fortune, as it's down to just $45.89 (nearly half off) ahead of Prime Day — its best price on record. Just be sure to select the on-page coupon before checking out. The Stratum 2.0 carry-on has all the essentials for a solid suitcase: spinner wheels, a durable hard shell, an ergonomic carbon fiber handle, expandable capacity, and interior pockets. It's nothing fancy, but it's a great value for the cost.

If you're an iPhone user who travels regularly or tends to lose things, AirTags are a must-have for keeping track of your belongings. Attach them to your luggage, purse, keys, backpack, instrument, etc. and as long as there's an Apple device nearby with FindMy turned off, you'll be able to see precisely where you are in proximity to your stuff. I used them for the first time on my first trip to Europe, and now I swear by them. At $74.99 for a four-pack, you're getting a pretty great deal. However, we have seen them drop about $10 further in the past. It may pay off to wait until Prime Day proper to snag a set.

Portable power is essential for travel, but you can't trust any old power bank on Amazon. Anker's portable charging gear is some of the best, and you can't go wrong with the 633 MagGo — especially while it's down to just $42.99. It's compact, can attach to your phone via magnets, doubles as a foldable stand, and can juice up your phone quickly, thanks to its 20W USB-C output. Just $3 shy of its best price ever, you can rest assured you'll be getting a great deal if you snag it before Prime Day.

$149.99 Save $30.99 Get Deal Why we like it

Mashable's headphones expert Bethany Allard selected the Sony WH-CH720N as the best early Prime Day headphones deal, noting that they're a more budget-friendly option than the new Sony WH-1000XM6s. They're lightweight and reliable, feature an impressive 35-hour battery life with noise cancellation on, and have multipoint pairing. Our sister site CNET (also owned by publisher Ziff Davis) writes, "The CH-720N offers the appealing combination of a lightweight, comfortable design with respectable performance." We've seen them drop to a lower price before, but at $119, they're still a steal.

Read our full review of the 2025 Apple iPad Air (M3).

We fancy the iPad Air as the best Apple tablet for most people. It's more budget-friendly than the iPad Pro, but can still handle tough design jobs, as well as streaming, reading, and other creative projects. You could even use it as a laptop substitute and it'll work swimmingly. It's also lightweight, has impressive battery life at over 14 hours, and features a brilliant 11-inch display.

As our Apple expert writes, "While $50 off isn't the most jaw-dropping deal for this 11-inch Air, it's a decent markdown to kick off Prime Day season. We just hope to see it drop another $50 down to its record-low $499 by the time the official sale start comes around."

If you've been envying their vast recipe opportunities, you might as well grab an air fryer on sale to see what the hype is about.

The longest Prime Day ever is officially underway (through July 11) and as per usual, Amazon has discounted its own devices to some extreme lows. While we haven't been super impressed by the Echo deals, things like Kindles, Fire tablets, and Fire TVs are seeing their best prices ever by a long shot.

We're keeping track of all of the best Amazon device deals below and will continue to monitor anything new that may pop up over the next few days. For deals beyond Amazon devices, be sure to follow along with all of Mashable's coverage in our Prime Day hub.

The first Kindle of its kind after nearly two decades, the Colorsoft features a 7-inch, glare-free display that supports a full spectrum of color. If a black and white display is a deal-breaker for you, the Colorsoft is your best (and only) bet. It also includes auto-adjusting light, 32GB of storage, a waterproof build, wireless charging, eight weeks of battery life, and no lockscreen ads.

We've previously seen the Colorsoft fall to $224.99, but this is the first time it's ever dropped below $200, let alone all the way down to $179.99. You can even get it bundled with a charging dock and a case for only $211.97. Not only is this one of the best deals I've seen on an Amazon device, but probably one of the best deals I've seen overall on Prime Day.

Amazon Prime Day 2025 is officially here and everything is getting the deal treatment, from TVs to headphones. Amazon's own devices typically see some of the biggest discounts during the summer shopping event, but, if we're being honest, we're slightly disappointed in the Echo deals this go around.

While some Amazon Echo devices are at their lowest prices on record (like the Echo Frames and Echo Hub), others aren't seeing that big of price drops — like the Echo Pop, for example. It's currently sitting at $21.99 on Prime Day, but we've seen it drop to $17.99 on random days throughout the year. Given that Prime Day is now four days long, there is a chance these prices could drop further. We'll definitely be crossing our fingers and keeping an eye on things throughout the week.

Below, we've rounded up the best Amazon Echo device deals of Prime Day 2025. We'll be updating this page throughout the event, so check back to see if any new deals or further discounts go live.

If you have several smart home devices, the Amazon Echo Hub gives you a way to control them all from one central spot. Serving as your smart home's brain, it offers a full-featured control panel with instant access to all of your gadgets — lights, cameras, switches, doorbells, thermostat, etc. Anyone in your home can play music, stream videos, ask Alexa questions, dim the lights, adjust the temperature, and more from a singular spot. We've seen the Echo Hub drop as low as $124.99 before, but this is the first time it's ever reached sub-$120.

Ready to take the plunge and get a new Apple Watch? This is your best bet during Prime Day. The Apple Watch Series 10 is well worth investing in, especially at a 30% discount. At $120 off, this is a better deal than average, especially considering it's Mashable's top pick for a smartwatch fitness tracker.

We like the Series 10 thanks to its suite of health tracking capabilities, including a heart rate monitor, sleep tracker, menstrual cycle tracker, and pedometer (the blood oxygen sensor is the main feature that's missing). It also has an ultra bright and lightweight display.

Getting into PC gaming can be an expensive hobby. You have to buy a bunch of components, accessories, and more to even get to a beginner level, which can be super inaccessible to a large swath of people.

But one way you can lighten the load is to just start with a gaming laptop, which packs in everything you need to get started in PC gaming without all the extra pieces. Of course, gaming laptops can be expensive, too, but plenty of budget options also exist.

I own these Philips Hue Smart Bulbs — this Prime Day deal is too good to ignore

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 03:22

SAVE $55.35: A three-pack of Philips Hue color and white smart bulbs is on sale for $79.64, down from its usual $134.99 this Prime Day.

$134.99 Save $55.35 Get Deal

I’ve been using Philips Hue smart bulbs in my home for a while now, and honestly, they’ve been one of my favorite smart home upgrades. If you’ve been thinking about trying them, this Prime Day deal is one of the best I’ve seen: a three-pack of the Philips Hue A19 White and Color Ambiance LED Smart Bulbs is on sale for $79.64, down from the usual $134.99.

These are the same bulbs I use every day. However, it’s important to know before you buy: This set doesn’t include the Hue Bridge — the hub that unlocks advanced features like automation, remote control, and full-color customization. That’s sold separately for around $60, though it’s also discounted for Prime Day at $46.99.

They’re easy to set up, work seamlessly with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, and offer a ton of flexibility. I use them for everything — from warm, white lighting in the mornings to soft, colorful ambiance in the evenings. You can dial in millions of colors, adjust brightness levels, and even set routines to have them turn on or off automatically.

What I appreciate most is that they just work. I've had my four bulbs plus the TV light strip for the last four years. They’ve become a staple in my daily routine, whether I'm home alone or hosting get-togethers with my friends.

If you’ve been curious about smart lighting or just want to expand your setup, this is a great price.

Yes, theres a Grubhub Prime Day deal: Get 50% off a delivery with this code

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 03:16

SAVE UP TO $20: Through July 11, Prime members can get 50% off any Grubhub food delivery (up to $20 value) with code PRIME50.

Opens in a new window Credit: Grubhub / Amazon Grubhub Prime Day deal Get 50% off an order of $25+ (up to $20 value) Get Deal

The rush of an Amazon order reliably showing up the next day gets old. The rush of a "your food's here" notification on a day when you did not feel like cooking, however... that hits different. And Amazon is treating Prime members again this deal-hunting season: This year's Grubhub Amazon Prime Day deal slashes 50% off a delivery of at least $25. You can save up to $20 on the order itself, plus the savings of free delivery that all Prime members get through Grubhub+. Just use code PRIME50 at checkout.

And because Prime Day isn't just one day, neither is the span of the Grubhub Prime Day deal. Code PRIME50 will work through the last day of Prime Day, July 11, at 2:59 a.m. ET / 11:59 p.m. PT. Each Prime member can only use the promo code once, but if multiple people in your household or friend group have Prime, nothing's stopping you from ordering together and splitting the bill later.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day now has streaming deals: save on Paramount+, Starz, Apple TV+, and more

There are more food delivery savings to be had with a Prime membership outside of Prime Day season — all Prime members get free Grubhub+ year round. A Grubhub+ subscription, unlocking $0 delivery fees in every order, usually costs $9.99/month, so that's a $120 value over the year.

(This is a different and slightly better deal than the early Grubhub deal offered last week, which saved Prime members $10 on deliveries.)

Read Mashable's full review of the M4 Apple MacBook Air.

"The new 13-inch MacBook Air is our top budget pick for Apple users and a Mashable Choice Award winner. 'It's powerful, silent, and comes with a couple of much-needed upgrades,' including an upgraded 12MP webcam and support for two external displays, wrote Senior Editor Stan Schroeder. He gave it an overall rating of 4.5/5.

Amazon's $849 Prime Day deal applies to all colors of the base configuration with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The Sky Blue variant briefly dipped down to an even-cheaper $829 in late June, but I have no trouble endorsing it at its current price: It's such a good deal on a popular new laptop that's already pretty affordable." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Read Mashable's full review of the 13.8-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 7.

"The maxed-out configuration of Microsoft's 13.8-inch flagship laptop is our favorite Windows laptop, combining a slick, sophisticated design with peppy performance and an all-day battery life. (Literally: It lasted nearly 23 hours in our testing.) This pared-down variant has a Snapdragon X Plus processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage — our preferred specs most everyday users.

Prime members can snag the Dune colorway on sale for just $789.99, which is 34% off its $1,199.99 MSRP and a new all-time low by $10. (For comparison's sake, Amazon's deal beats competing discounts at Best Buy and the Microsoft Store by $110 and $210, respectively) It's only $30 pricier than the newer 13-inch Surface Laptop 7 released this spring, which comes with a slightly worse 8-core CPU and half the storage." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

"If you know you'll mostly use your iPad to watch shows, videos, and read, you should seriously consider the iPad mini. Clocking in at 8.3 inches, this aptly named tablet is easy to hold in your hand for long periods of time, making it an especially great option for someone who wants an e-reader with some versatility (or with vibrant colors). Even though it's not powered by Apple's latest chipset, it doesn't need to be for more casual usage.

For anyone who doesn't need a tablet as powerful as a laptop, this ultraportable choice is well worth considering. And at just $379, the iPad mini has hit a new all-time low this Prime Day." — Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping Reporter

Kindles typically only go on sale during big events like Prime Day and Black Friday, so this is a rare chance to get a new Kindle for under $100. In her review, Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino said this is the "best e-reader on a budget," and that's doubly true when it's on sale.

"This deal's a Prime member exclusive, but it's a good one: the Amazon Echo Buds with ANC are all the way down to $44.99, making them an excellent price for a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds. Admittedly, this drastic of a price drop isn't exactly rare: Just last month, these earbuds received an $85 discount.

These earbuds are a 2021 release, so you won't be getting the latest and greatest tech. Their battery life is just okay at five hours per charge, and their ANC isn't going to be anything mind-blowing.

"The cheapest 65-inch QLED TV we're clocking at Amazon this Prime Day isn't an Amazon TV. It is still a Fire TV, but oddly enough, it's from Insignia — a Best Buy brand.

If you have trouble picturing the difference between an LED and QLED TV in your head, this is your chance to try an XL QLED out at home without severely overspending. The Insignia QF series has been garnering quite positive customer reviews on picture quality and color vibrancy. At this price, it's probably not going to have the same pop as some of the premium QLEDs out there, but you'll definitely notice the quantum dot difference compared to your old TV, especially during daytime viewing." — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

You'll still get the impressive Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB of RAM, plus a slightly larger and nicer display than the basic S25 (6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with new 'ProScaler' technology), as well as a bigger 4,900mAh battery. Mashable's Chance Townsend calls the S25+ the 'sweet spot for battery life and versatility' amongst the S25 lineup. It doesn't look too much different than the S24+, but it'll definitely wow you in terms of internal upgrades — and that's saying something, considering how brilliant the S24 lineup already was." — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

"This budget Roborock model was also just released this year, but it's been living in the shadow of the big bad Saros trio. Nevertheless, it deserves a spotlight for the value that it packs, especially now that it's under $300 for Prime members this of Prime Day. The most impressive feat of the Roborock Q7 M5+ is its 10,000 Pa of suction power — that's far stronger than the norm for cheap robot vacuums. That matches the power of my favorite robot vacuum from 2024, the Roborock Qrevo Master, and is the baseline number I'd recommend for keeping up with substantial pet hair.

Note that the Q7 M5+ does mop and does self-empty, but doesn't wash and dry its own mopping pad like the more premium Roborocks." — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

This mid-sized air fryer is large enough to cook a meal for up to four people, but small enough that it won’t monopolize your counter space. It’s also super user-friendly and has a little viewing window, so you can see what’s going on without opening the basket and letting all the heat escape (I like my stuff extra crispy, so this is a pretty cool feature IMO). There’s also a Hi-Fry button that lets you crank the heat up to 450 degrees in the last two minutes of cooking (again, great for those of us who like extra crispy food)." — Tabitha Britt, Mashable Contributor

"New and returning subscribers can get their first two months of Paramount+ Premium — that's the ad-free tier with Showtime — for just 99 cents per month. Typically $12.99 per month, that saves you $24 total. Even better, you can score the deal on its own through Paramount+ or as a Prime Video add-on. For what it's worth, the streamer typically offers a $2.99 per month deal for six months during Black Friday. While the Prime Day discount is only valid for a third of the time, it'll cost you $2 less per month, making this a pretty epic deal.

The Premium tier gives viewers an ad-free experience (except with live TV), access to the entire Showtime library, the ability to stream CBS live and download movies and shows for offline viewing, and 4K, UHD, Dolby Vision, and HDR10 quality. The discount is only valid through July 13, so be sure to sign up ASAP. Also, remember that the cost per month will go back to full price ($12.99 per month) after your two-month promotional period unless you cancel." — Christina Buff, Mashable contributor

Im a tech editor, and these are the 12 Prime Day tech deals Im eyeing today

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 03:10

As Mashable's tech editor, I've been covering Prime Day and Black Friday events since 2019. So, instead of wading through hundreds of the best Prime Day tech deals to find the diamonds in the rough, let me do the deal hunting for you. I am a professional, after all.

For example, I can tell you that even though the $399 AirPods Max headphones deal is no longer available at Amazon, you can still grab this price at Walmart (if they're available at a store near you).

Prime Day, Day 1: The Top Tech Deals The top TV deal Samsung The Frame 55-inch QLED Art TV (2025) $1,097.99 (save $200) Get Deal The top power station deal Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station $399 (save $400) Get Deal Top Amazon Device Deal Kindle Paperwhite (without lockscreen ads) $144.99 (save $35) Get Deal Top Memory Deal SanDisk 2TB Extreme Poratble SSD $134.99 (savce $75) Get Deal Top laptop deal Apple M4 MacBook Air, 16GB Ram, 256GB SSD $849 (save $150) Get Deal Top Tablet Deal Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Tablet $132.99 (save $97) Get Deal Top Headphones Deal Apple AirPods Max headphones $399 (save $150) Get Deal Top vacuum deal iRobot Roomba Plus 405 Combo Robot Vacuum & Mop $399.99 (save $400) Get Deal Top Earbuds Deal Apple AirPods Pro 2 wireless earbuds $149.00 at Amazon Get Deal Top Smartphone Deal Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra AI Smartphone, 256 GB, Unlocked $949.99 (save $350) Get Deal

This year's top Prime Day deals on gadgets include big savings on flagship products from Apple, Amazon, Bose, Dyson, Samsung, and Sony. You'll also find discounts on charging accessories, under-the-radar brands, and smart home tech of all kinds. I've selected the best of the best for this shopping guide, and I'll be updating it daily as new deals go online.

Remember: Unlike Prime Days gone by, this year's shop-a-thon takes place over four days, from July 8 to 11. Amazon will also be releasing new deals as the event unfolds, so keep checking back for the latest and best Prime Day deals of the moment.

The best Prime Day TV deal: Samsung The Frame QLED Smart TV Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung The Frame 55-inch QLED Art TV (2025) $1,097.99 at Amazon
$1,297.99 Save $200 Get Deal Why we like it

As a tech editor, friends and family sometimes ask me what the best TV is, and my answer is always the same: The Frame. Now, I have some caveats. If you're a movie lover, sports fan, avid binge watcher, and especially if you're all of the above, then I'd recommend a premium OLED TV (it's a toss-up between the 65-inch version of the Samsung S95F or the LG C5 OLED TVs). However, The Frame truly is something special. It's not just the unique matte, anti-glare display. It's not just the Samsung art gallery, which lets you choose from thousands of classic and modern works of art to display on your TV. And it's not just the ultra-thin design. The combination of all these innovations makes The Frame more than the sum of its parts. When it's not in use, this cult-favorite art TV actually enhances your home decor, instead of becoming a design dead zone in the middle of your living room.

When looking for the top Prime Day tech deals, The Frame was a no-brainer. For Prime Day, you can get the newest version of the 55-inch The Frame TV for $200 less than usual. (I recommend getting this TV in the 50- or 55-inch size.) At Amazon, the 2025 model is actually priced lower than the 2024 version, as of this writing.

Pro tip: To save even more, check out The Frame 2024 model at Best Buy and Samsung, where it's on sale for just $897.

The best Prime Day power bank deal: Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station Opens in a new window Credit: Jackery Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station $399 at Amazon
$799 Save $400 Get Deal Why we like it

I've been recommending Jackery power stations to my friends since before the pandemic. In recent years, the excellent Jackery Explorer series has gotten an upgrade in the v2 generation, and these power banks have only gotten better. These power stations are extremely useful tools for festivals, camping, and tailgates, but they can also be hugely helpful in an emergency situation. During a power blackout, your (fully charged) Jackery can power up laptops, cell phones, lights, and small appliances, keeping you securely on the grid. Bundle this station with a solar panel, and you'll never be without a charge.

The best Amazon device deal: Kindle Paperwhite Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite $144.99
$179.99 Save $35 Without lockscreen ads Get Deal Why we like it

This is the exact Kindle I use, and I'm not just a casual book lover. I collect rare paperbacks and first-edition books, so when I say I'm a bibliophile, I've really earned that title. Now, technically, you can buy the Kindle Paperwhite for just $124.99 during Prime Day, but I actually recommend springing for the version without lockscreen ads, which is also on sale. Yes, you'll have to pay a bit more, but it's 100 percent worth it, trust me. Otherwise, your lockscreen will be filled with annoying advertisements for romance and fantasy books no one wants to read.

The best Prime Day memory deal: SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD Opens in a new window Credit: SanDisk SanDisk 2TB Extreme Poratble SSD $134.99 at Amazon
$209.99 Save $75 Get Deal Why we like it

Portable hard drives are far from the sexiest Prime Day deal, but they're the savvy shopper's best friend during this event. Prime Day is the time of year when I always stock up on extra MicroSD cards and portable hard drives, and this is actually the exact drive you'll find in my backpack. I like SanDisk's drive for its ease of use and compact size, and I find 2TB is generally enough space for temporarily storing photos and videos for work. Whether you need a MicroSD Express for your Switch 2 or a stack of new hard drives for work, this is your chance to stock up.

The best Prime Day laptop deal: Apple M4 MacBook Air Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple M4 MacBook Air $849 at Amazon
$999 Save $150 Get Deal Why we like it

Here at Mashable, we've been covering this deal for weeks. Yes, that means this isn't a Prime Day exclusive, but if you're looking for the best possible deal on a MacBook, this one's hard to pass up. Today, you can grab the newest MacBook Air, equipped with the M4 chip, in all four colorways for just $849. For students, professionals, and Apple lovers, that's an incredibly attractive offer, especially considering this laptop was just released a few months ago. As we said in our review, it's "a really good deal" — and that was before it went on sale.

The best Prime Day vacuum deal: iRobot Roomba Plus 405 Combo Robot Vacuum & Mop Opens in a new window Credit: iRobot iRobot Roomba Plus 405 Combo Robot Vacuum & Mop $399.99 at Amazon
$799.99 Save $400 Get Deal Why we like it

The Roomba Plus 405 is a self-emptying hybrid robot vacuum and mop. But of all the Prime Day robot vacuum deals, what makes this one notable? You just can't find self-washing and self-drying mopping pads in a robot vacuum under $500. Even with tons of other Roomba vacuum deals, that makes this a standout for Prime Day 2025.

The best Prime Day tablet deal: Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Tablet Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Tablet $132.99 at Amazon
$219.99 Save $87 Get Deal Why we like it

We were excited when Samsung's A9+ tablet went on sale for $199, and for Prime Day 2025, you can pick one up for just $139.99. Now, you can definitely find more souped-up tablets on sale during Prime Day, but personally, I don't want a tablet that can double as a laptop. I want a tablet I can use for binge-watching TV in bed or playing The Sims on the couch. And this everyday Android tablet fits the bill perfectly. It's got a crisp 11-inch display you can use for browsing, gaming, and streaming, but not so much power that you'll be tempted to get some work done.

The best Prime Day earbuds deal: Apple AirPods Pro 2 Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods Pro 2 $149 at Amazon
$249 Save $100 Get Deal Why we like it

For Prime Day, we were hoping to see the AirPods Pro 2 drop back down to their record-low sale price of $159, and Amazon did not disappoint. We're hoping to see AirPods Pro 3 later this year, but if you need new earbuds and you need them now, you won't find these famous pods at a better price. And if they're still a bit outside your price range, we've got plenty more Prime Day deals on headphones and earbuds to shop.

The best Prime Day deal on headphones: Apple AirPods Max headphones Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods Max headphones $399 at Walmart
$549 Save $150 Selling out fast Get Deal Why we like it

Eagle-eyed Mashable readers will know that these iconic over-ears are not included in our guide to the best headphones. So, why are they included here? We find the $549 retail price too hard to justify, especially since you can get newer noise-cancelling headphones from Sony and Bose for a lot less. Amazon's supply of $399 AirPods Max headphones appears to be sold out as of this writing, but you can still shop this deal at Walmart. These sleek headphones have an undeniable cool factor, and they double as fashion accessories in addition to stellar headphones. If you've always had your heart set on Apple's headphones, then Prime Day is the only time we'd actually recommend buying them.

The best Prime Day Pixel deal: Google Pixel 9 Pro Opens in a new window Credit: Google Google Pixel 9 Pro $749.99 at Amazon
$999.99 Save $250 Get Deal Why we like it

If you've been holding out for Prime Day to buy a new phone, then your patience is about to be rewarded. For Prime members, the premier Pixel 9 Pro is discounted to $749, a 25% discount from the full retail price. This unlocked Android smartphone will work with Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and all major carriers. It features an ultra-powerful 20x zoom camera, an impressive battery life, and a full suite of AI features. If you want to be able to access all your favorite Google Apps, as well as new AI tools like Gemini and Veo 3 in an instant, then this is the smartphone you need.

$1,299.99 Save $350 Get Deal Why we like it

Spoiler alert: We fully expect to see new Samsung phones announced at the July 9 Samsung Unpacked event. So, while you may find Prime Day deals on Samsung's foldable phones, we highly recommend waiting a couple more days. However, we are not expecting a replacement for the flagship Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra flagship phone anytime soon, making Prime Day the perfect time to buy the undisputed queen of Android phones. The best Prime Day tech deals include a cool 27% discount on the Ultra, letting you pick up this AI smartphone for under $1,000.

The best Prime Day cooling fan deal: Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 TP10 Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 TP10 $284.97 at Amazon
$429.99 Save $145.02 Get Deal Why we like it

I do not handle the heat well, and the recent heat waves have been killing me. If you're also an excessive sweater — or if you're suffering from allergies and could use an air quality boost — then you'll love Dyson's signature cooling fan. Yes, it's pricey, but that's why you should wait for an event like Prime Day to purchase one for yourself. Not only does this fan cool off the entire room, but it cleans the air as it does, offering a pretty killer two-for-one value.

Honorable mention: 8BitDo Retro 18 Mechanical Numpad and calculator Opens in a new window Credit: 8BITDO 8BitDo Retro 18 Mechanical Numpad $33.99 at Amazon
$44.99 Save $11 Get Deal Why we like it

I can't quite explain why I like this little calculator so much. There are thousands more Prime Day tech deals you could shop instead. But as someone who needs a desktop calculator for his daily work, I just love the retro look and feel of this little gadget. Grab this fun piece of retro-tech while it's on sale.

Honorable mention: Shark PowerDetect Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum & Mop Opens in a new window Credit: Shark Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro Robot Vacuum & Mop $649.99 at Amazon
$999.99 Save $350 Get Deal Why we like it

I've been impressed by Shark's flagship robot vacuum ever since I saw it at a launch event last year. While Shark may not be as "sexy" as other robot vacuum brands, the brand has consistently delivered fantastic cleaning machines. In fact, I'd even say that Shark is by far the most underrated robot vacuum brand. Not only does this hybrid robot vacuum and mop come with all the bells and whistles you'd get in $1,200 competitors, but it also doubles down on Shark's signature feature: spot cleaning. That may seem like an obvious feature to include in a robovac, and it is. (Are you listening, Roborock?) Even without the Prime Day discount, the Power Detect vacuum and mop offers one of the best feature sets for the money.

Honorable mention: Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds Opens in a new window Credit: Soundcore Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 sleep buds $107.99 at Amazon
$149.99 Save $42.00 Get Deal Why we like it

Mashable Lead Reporter Bethany Allard dubbed the Soundcore Sleep A20s her favorite sleep earbuds after more than a month of testing buds from different brands. The earbuds stayed in her ears and felt comfortable while lying on her side. They come with a library of sleep sounds, have a battery that will last through the night, and even provide sleep data. While this isn't a huge discount, we're excited to see the Sleep A20s get a discount at all this Prime Day.

Samsung Galaxy deals are officially live on Prime Day

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 03:07
The best Prime Day Samsung Galaxy deals at a glance: BEST GALAXY BUDS DEAL Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro $166.24 (save $83.75) Get Deal BEST GALAXY PHONE DEAL Samsung Galaxy S25+ (unlocked, 256GB) $699.99 (save $300) Get Deal BEST GALAXY TAB DEAL Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 (128GB, WiFi) $469.79 (save $330.20) Get Deal BEST GALAXY WATCH DEAL Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (Bluetooth, 40mm) $159.99 (save $140) Get Deal

Amazon Prime Day has officially kicked off as of July 8, and the deals on Samsung Galaxy products are starting off strong.

This comes as no surprise, as Samsung is one of the brands we typically see major discounts on during big shopping events. Just like last year, the Galaxy Unpacked summer event aligns with Prime Day, making the perfect recipe for heavily discounted Samsung Galaxy products.

So far, we've seen the Samsung Galaxy Ring get a $100 price cut, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro drop to a new record-low price, and multiple unlocked Galaxy phones for $300 off. Check them out below, along with more of the best Samsung Galaxy deals live for Prime Day.

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

Best Galaxy Buds deal Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Our pick: Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro🔥 $166.24 at Amazon
$249.99 Save $83.75 Get Deal Why we like it

The Buds 3 Pro are Samsung's smartest buds yet, leaning heavily into AI. Their adaptive noise cancellation can filter out distractions when it's time to focus or let in ambient sounds and voices when you need to stay in touch with your surroundings, while their adaptive equalizer can auto-adjust your audio in real time based on your fit. The real game-changer, though, is an interpreter feature that can give you real-time translations of foreign languages in Listening Mode, whether during a phone call, TV show, or IRL. Oh, and they, of course, sound great as well. PCMag's (also owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) reviewer praised the "nuanced sound quality with exceptional clarity." On Prime Day, they've dropped down to $166.24 — their best price ever.

$999.99 Save $300 Get Deal Why we like it

It dropped to a record low of $799.99 before Prime Day even started, but the Galaxy S25+ bested itself by dropping further to $699.99 (for the 256GB model) during Prime Day's start. Mashable's Chance Townsend calls the S25+ the "sweet spot for battery life and versatility" amongst the S25 lineup. It's not quite as powerful as the S25 Ultra, but it also won't put quite as big of a dent in your wallet. You'll still get the impressive Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB of RAM, plus a slightly larger and nicer display than the basic S25 (6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with new "ProScaler" technology), and a bigger 4,900mAh battery. If you need more storage, the 512GB model is also on sale for its lowest price ever at $819.99.

$799.99 Save $330.20 Get Deal Why we like it

Although it's no longer the latest nor greatest tablet in Samsung's lineup, the Galaxy Tab S9 is still an impressive purchase. It features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, a dynamic AMOLED 2X 11-inch display, and an IP68 water- and dust-proof rating (which is a first for the Galaxy Tab S). Our friends at CNET (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) called the S9 series, "dream tablets for content creators, movie lovers, and mobile gamers," meaning it's fully capable of handling advanced tasks. At only $469.79 for the 128GB version with WiFi, you'll already be paying the lowest price on record for Prime Day.

The Galaxy Watch 7 is also down to a new record-low price for Prime Day. The 40mm, Bluetooth model is down to just $159.99, saving you 47% on the seventh generation smartwatch. Aesthetically, it looks pretty similar to the sixth generation, but on the inside, it sports several new features, like a sleep apnea sensor, a new Race feature, an enhanced BioActive sensor, better GPS, and a new Galaxy AI Health system.

Apple devices are hitting record-low prices for Prime Day: Shop AirPods, MacBooks, iPads, and more

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 02:53
The best Prime Day Apple deals at a glance: Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $849 (save $150) Get Deal Best Apple Watch deal Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm, GPS) $279.99 (save $119.99) Get Deal Best AirPods deal Apple AirPods Pro (USB-C) $149 (save $100) Get Deal Best iPad deal Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro, WiFi, 128GB) $379 (save $120) Get Deal

Amazon is a good place for finding decent-to-impressive Apple deals year-round, but this Prime Day, the mega-retailer has really turned up the heat. On the first day of its members-only sale, virtually every Apple device is seeing some sort of discount, and many of them have fallen to new record-low prices. That includes the latest AirPods Pro (now $149), AirPods Max (now $399), Apple Watch Series 10 (now $279.99), iPad mini (now $379), and a four-pack of AirTags (now $67.99).

Prime Day continues through Friday, July 11 — it's the longest Prime Day ever — and we'll be keeping a close eye on Amazon's prices the whole way through. Read on for our running list of the best Prime Day Apple deals that are live thus far:

Best MacBook deals Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $849.99 at Amazon
$999 Save $149.01 Get Deal Why we like it

Check out our full review of the M4 MacBook Air.

Even at full price, the M4 MacBook Air is an impressively good value, especially considering its brand. For anyone who doesn't need the heavier specs of the Pro (and the additional literal weight that comes along with that), the Air is a great machine. It can handle audio and some video editing, most tasks students will need it for, and general day-to-day tasks with ease.

At $150 off, the 13-inch Air with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage offers an especially good value. It's a price point that might be bested later this week in favor of the $829 record-low price we saw it briefly hit in late-June. But even if it doesn't, this current deal is still a great one to pick up.

Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 10.

The Apple Watch Series 10 frequently gets discounted at Amazon, but it's never dipped to $279.99 before — this is a new record-low price. It's an excellent deal on our favorite smartwatch fitness tracker, especially if you're already deep in the Apple ecosystem.

Though it's missing a blood oxygen sensor, it still works as a pedometer, heart rate monitor, sleep tracker, menstrual cycle tracker, and wrist temperature monitor, to name just a few of its functions. Its ultra-lightweight design doesn't sacrifice a larger display that makes reading all those metrics as easy as possible.

Check out our full review of the Apple AirPods Pro.

Even with the many noise-cancelling earbuds options on the market, the AirPods Pro remain one of the best choices for folks in the Apple ecosystem. The quick pairing can't be beat, and they are a true plug and play option (especially because they don't come with a companion app). The noise cancelling is some of the best you'll find on earbuds, alongside its excellent audio. Mashable's Stan Schroeder gave these earbuds a 4.1/5 in his review, noting that he'd be likely to take them on a plane over over-ear headphones, and writing of their sound "[they] did an equally good job with complex jazz performances and very heavy guitar tunes."

Check out Mashable's full review of the iPad mini.

If you know you'll mostly use your iPad to watch shows, videos, and read, you should seriously consider the iPad mini. Clocking in at 8.3 inches, this aptly named tablet is easy to hold in your hand for long periods of time, making it an especially great option for someone who wants an e-reader with some versatility (or with vibrant colors). Even though it's not powered by Apple's latest chipset, it doesn't need to be for more casual usage.

For anyone who doesn't need a tablet as powerful as a laptop, this ultraportable choice is well worth considering. And at just $379, the iPad mini has hit a new all-time low this Prime Day.
