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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Prime Day is bringing headphones and earbuds down to their best prices ever — by far

Between all of our testers and reviewers at Mashable, we've put in a lot of time testing the best headphones and earbuds. From noise-cancelling to budget options to earbuds designed specifically for sleep, we want to recommend the best of the best.

So naturally, when sales like Amazon's Prime Day roll around, we closely track deals on all the models we've tested and loved (and those that are in our testing pipeline). And this year, Amazon has gone all-out in the audio category, and we've been shocked by how low prices are on wireless earbuds in particular. We're talking Apple AirPods for $89. Noise-cancelling Echo Buds for $44.99. And the first-ever discount on Sony's new flagship headphones.

SEE ALSO: 100+ deals are live on Prime Day — get record-low prices on Apple, Ninja, and Samsung

This is your chance to score record-low prices on AirPods, Beats, Anker Soundcore, Bose, and Samsung audio products. There are even some impressive deals on open earbuds if that's your cup of tea. We've rounded up all the best Prime Day deals on headphones and earbuds, so you don't have to do the digging yourself. Stay tuned for updates throughout the four-day event.

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

Read our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones.

The new Sony XM6 headphones were just released on May 15, but they're already on sale for around $20 off, putting them at $428 at Amazon. Now, I'll be the first to admit that a $20 price drop doesn't exactly put these flagship cans in the bargain price range. But since this Prime Day deal is the first-ever discount on XM6 headphones, I had to share the news. These flagship noise-cancellers have been reviewed by two Mashable staffers, who both declared the sound best-in-class and worth the investment.

Check out Mashable's full review of the Apple AirPods Pro (USB-C).

The AirPods Pro go on sale year-round more regularly than you'd think, but not $100 off. At $149, these earbuds are at their record-low price. There is some risk of them selling out. In other words, we suggest grabbing them ASAP; 40% off is an excellent price point for our favorite pair of AirPods.

Upgrade your workout with the Powerbeats Pro 2 on sale for a record low on Prime Day

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 02:30

SAVE $70.04: Grab the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 for $179.95 at Amazon during day one of Prime Day. This discount knocks 28% off the earbuds' usual $249.99 price, and beats their old record-low price by $20.

Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 $179.95 at Amazon
$249.99 Save $70.04 Get Deal

Amazon Prime Day can be a popular time for newer products to get their first drastic price cut, and that's exactly what's happened with Beats' latest workout headphones.

The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are just $179.95 as of July 8, saving you $70.04 on the $249.99 earbuds. Before this price drop, the lowest price we've ever seen these earbuds hit was $199.95.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day is bringing headphones and earbuds down to their best prices ever by far

The Powerbeats Pro 2 hit the market just this past February, upgrading the ear-hooked earbuds to include active noise cancellation and a built-in heart rate monitor. In addition to the ear hook, these earbuds come with five ear tip sizes to help you find the right fit and keep the earbuds in while you're staying active. Beats also smartly opted for on-ear button controls instead of overly sensitive touch controls that might've been triggered during periods of high movement. The IPX4-rated earbuds are also sweat- and water-resistant, so they're safe to bring during more intense gym sessions.

Not to be confused with open earbuds, these earbuds are an in-ear model that provide additional wear security with the hook. While wearing both earbuds, you can also use the buds heart rate monitor sensor, which our sister site PC Mag, also owned by Ziff Davis, finds to work about as accurately as an Apple Watch's.

As well-geared as they are toward working out, the in-ear design paired with the ANC also gives them the flexibility to be used as everyday earbuds. And thanks to their H2 chip, they integrate with Apple devices just as well as AirPods. During Prime Day, you can grab all four colorways — electric orange, hyper purple, jet black, and quick sand — on sale for $70 off.

£183.91 Save £66.23 Get Deal

You wouldn’t keep paying for Netflix if you could own your favorite shows, right? So why are you still subscribing to Office apps you use every day? Microsoft 365’s price keeps going up, but there’s finally a way to break free — and it'll cost you way less in the long run.

Microsoft Office 2024 is the answer you've been looking for. Instead of $10 monthly payments, simply pay £117.68 once and be set for life. It's that simple. And, yes, this lifetime download works for PC or Mac.

What's included?

This license comes with: 

  • Word

  • Excel

  • PowerPoint

  • Outlook

  • OneNote 

The newest version of Microsoft Office is a little different from Microsoft 365. But just because you're switching to a lifetime license doesn't mean you'll miss out on some of the most recent updates. Word and Excel both still have AI integrations for text suggestions and smart data analysis, and PowerPoint still has improved tools for recorded presentations. 

Once you've redeemed your purchase, you can install your apps on one computer. After that, they're yours to use however you want. No more subscription fees or sudden price hikes to worry about. 

Why rent when you can own? Get a Microsoft Office lifetime license on sale for £117.68 with no coupon needed.

Cloud storage subscriptions are expensive, even if they don't seem like it at first. Dropbox's cheapest plan is $9.99 per month for 2TB of cloud storage. It seems cheap, but you're never actually done paying for it. 

If you want a cheaper alternative to Dropbox, Internxt just dropped the price for a 10TB cloud storage lifetime subscription. Now it's only £202.28.

Pay once for a lifetime of cloud storage

Space isn't the only thing this cloud storage has going for it. Internxt is committed to keeping your data safe. That's why they use end-to-end encryption to secure files during transfer and at rest. Its zero-knowledge architecture means that files are encrypted in a way that Internxt itself cannot access. You're the only one who has access to your files.

You don't even have to manually upload. You can sync all your files and photos across platforms, even Linux. This focus on privacy even extends to its open-source design, so users can inspect the code for transparency and security.

This subscription lasts for life with no recurring payments of any kind. You can access your cloud storage on unlimited devices, too.

The Amazon Kindle Scribe is the brand's only e-reader that offers note-taking abilities. So if you're an annotator, this is certainly the right e-reader. With a 10.2-inch screen, it has plenty of space for taking notes in the margins in both PDFs and e-books. Plus, the notebook feature allows you to write out pages and pages of writing that convert from handwritten notes to text. However, keep in mind that among the Kindles we've tested, this is Amazon's slowest-performing device. The Amazon Kindle Scribe is also the most expensive Kindle in Amazon's line-up, but during Prime Day, you can snag the Essentials Bundle for just $352.97, which is $217 off the original price.

Happy Prime Day to all who celebrate! It's officially on from today, July 8, through July 11, but Amazon got the party started early with price drops on all the usual suspects (Apple, laptops, TVs, headphones, etc.) as well as categories you might not expect, like Lego building sets.

If you're looking for a creative way to kill some time and beat the heat this summer, or a fun gift for practically anyone in your life (kids and adults), you really can't go wrong with a Lego set. There's something for everyone, from kits that help toddlers build critical thinking skills to gorgeous floral kits that double as decor. The best part is you don't have to pay full price right now. Here are a few of the great deals available for Prime Day.

SEE ALSO: 100+ deals are live on Prime Day — get record-low prices on Apple, Ninja, and Samsung

Make note that many Lego sets may seem like a good deal, but they've actually been sitting at the same "deal" price for five months or more. For example, this Lego Creator 3-in-1 Flowers in Watering Can set looks appealing at 20% off, but according to price-tracking site Camelcamelcamel, it's been chilling at $23.99 since last spring. On that note, we've only chosen Lego sets that are newly discounted — so you can be sure you're actually getting a good deal.

We're keeping a running list of the best Prime Day Lego deals below, and we'll update it with any new deals as they pop up.

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

It includes 484 pieces, including bricks, windows, eyes, tires, wheel rims, and more, in 35 different colors, so you can build pretty much anything you can think up.

While it's not down to its lowest price ever, the Lego Ideas Vincent van Gogh "The Starry Night" building set is one of those Lego sets that rarely gets discounted. We're hoping to see the price drop even further, but at over $20 off, it's already a pretty solid deal for what you get: a 2,316-piece building set that constructs a 3D Lego wall art homage to one of the most beloved paintings. The set is a collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and really captures Van Gogh's colors and brushstrokes through creative building techniques. When you finish building, you'll have a gorgeous piece of art for your home — all for just under $150.

Microsoft Office 2019 is on sale for £15 — pay once and use it forever

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 01:01

TL;DR: Hurry and grab lifetime access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more with a Microsoft Office 2019 license for Windows at £14.69 through July 15.

Opens in a new window Credit: Retail King Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 for Windows £14.69
£168.46 Save £153.77 Get Deal

Your credit card is exhausted from all of today’s subscription fees. While you probably don’t want to cancel Peacock and never see the ending of Yellowstone or say goodbye to two-day shipping with Prime, you could swap your Microsoft 365 subscription for a Microsoft Office lifetime license.

Now, you can pay once and use the apps as much as you’d like. For a little while longer, the Windows software suite is on sale for £14.69 through July 15.

What apps are included?

Microsoft Office 2019 isn’t the newest version available, but it’s the cheaper one for people who just need to use the apps and don’t care about what they look like inside. However, it does have a classic, timeless design.

Here's a list of the apps you get:

  • Word

  • Excel

  • PowerPoint

  • Outlook

  • OneNote

  • Publisher

  • Access

Differences between Microsoft 365 and a lifetime license

This purchase is a no-brainer if you aren’t taking full advantage of Microsoft 365’s OneDrive storage, mobile app access, and cloud-based backups. Those just wanting the apps should be more than comfortable with a Microsoft Office download.

You might actually like this license more than the subscription. The apps are downloaded directly onto your PC instead of hosted on the cloud. While this does mean there are no built-in cloud backups, you don’t have to worry about the hassle of trying to work offline.

Plus, now that Microsoft added Copilot’s AI features to Microsoft 365, you might be looking for a way to escape them. Not everyone is crazy about having a virtual robot interfere with their work, and these classic apps won’t ever bug you about it.

The price drop on this lifetime license to Microsoft Office 2019 for Windows ends soon, so get your download for £14.69.

BitMar gives a single platform that pulls together movies, shows, channels, videos, and music from free sources across the web, so you don’t have to waste all that time looking for something to watch while your dinner gets cold.

Normally $150, a BitMar Lifetime Subscription just went on sale for only $14.99, but that’s not going to last much longer.

Find all the shows you’ve been missing

BitMar uses a content-filtering system powered by artificial intelligence, including the same core technology behind Bing Search, but with custom algorithms designed specifically for streaming. That means you can find and access millions of on-demand titles quickly, all organized in one place. Unlike general search engines, BitMar filters content to help surface movies, series, channels, and songs in a way that’s tailored to streaming discovery.

This lifetime subscription gives users access to the full BitMar platform without recurring fees. You can stream content on your existing devices, including smart TVs, phones, tablets, and desktops, or mirror to non-smart TVs using casting tools. BitMar supports up to five devices per account and works with most web-enabled systems, including Windows, Android, iOS, and Linux.

Instead of storing or pirating content, BitMar connects users to what’s already freely available online, working within copyright rules by directing traffic to the original sources. That includes official YouTube channels, free streaming sites, and on-demand TV networks. The platform is DMCA-compliant and aims to support sustainable content discovery by driving audiences to approved distribution points.

BitMar is especially useful for people interested in international content, or anyone who wants a single tool for navigating a huge library of free entertainment. With fewer ads on many videos and no ongoing cost, it can be a helpful alternative to juggling multiple subscriptions or relying solely on search engines.

My favorite Dyson vacuum is under $500 for Prime Day, but not at Amazon

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 00:46

SAVE $200: As of July 8, the Dyson V12 Detect Slim cordless vacuum is on sale for $449.99 at Walmart's Prime Day competition sale.

$649.99 Save $200 Get Deal

If you're considering buying the Dyson V11 at Amazon for $399.99 this Prime Day, don't. Spend $50 more and snag the actual best Dyson deal this Prime Day: The Dyson V12 Detect Slim for $449.99 at Walmart's conveniently-timed summer sale.

I suggest the V12 Detect Slim to just about anyone who asks for a cordless vacuum recommendation because it's the cheapest Dyson vacuum with the green laser. If you're not yet a laser believe while reading this, I'm fully convinced that you will be the first time you shine it on a corner of your floor that looked debris-less otherwise. The laser highlights invisible hairs and tiny specks of dust that even the LED lights on other cordless vacuums I've tested don't pick up on.

Take the area around the litter box in my kitchen, for example. I use wheat or grass kitty litter (for sustainability reasons), which is tan and completely blends in with the hardwood. You can barely ever tell that there's tracked litter on the floor until you walk past it in bare feet.

The most satisfying part is the visible proof that the V12 Detect Slim actually cleared the floor of debris. I even use it to see how well all of the robot vacuums I test are performing.

Even though the V11's suction power is ever so slightly stronger, there's much more to be said for such blatant direction to the spots in your home that aren't as clean as you thought they were. Plus, the V12 Detect Slim comes with two full-sized cleaning heads, while the V11's single Motor Bar cleaning head may not be as gentle on delicate hardwood or tile. Both offer around an hour of battery life on one charge and come with the mini motorized handheld attachment.

The Kobo Libra Colour is my favorite e-reader — and its got a rare Prime Day discount

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 00:35

SAVE $40: Grab the Kobo Libra Colour for just $209.99 at Amazon as of July 8. This Prime Day deal saves you 16% off the e-reader's $249.99 list price.

$249.99 Save $40 Get Deal

When I first saw the Kobo Libra Colour about a year ago, I was interested in the color display — but I was way more taken with the buttons.

Admittedly, the Kobo was more expensive than most Kindles (though there wasn't a color Kindle available at the time). However, a perk of my job is sometimes I get to test products I'm personally interested in — so I tested the Kobo Libra, found it to be a great (if not excellent) e-reader. I hesitated to get my own with the steep cost, but I was lucky that my boyfriend decided to buy me one for my birthday after my testing period was over. If he hadn't, I would almost certainly be jumping on this Prime Day deal that brings the Kobo Libra Colour down to $209.99.

SEE ALSO: 100+ Prime Day deals — get record-low prices on Apple, Ninja, and Samsung

The Kobo Libra Color gets the occasional markdown from its $249.99 price tag, but not too often, and certainly not at a price that puts it just $10 away from its lowest price ever. While more expensive than the Kindle Colorsoft's current sale price of $179.99, I would argue that for anyone particularly invested in their e-reader's ergonomics, the Libra Colour is a device worth investing in. Its square shape keeps things compact without sacrificing display real estate, and the buttons, paired with the internal gyroscope, are a game changer. It switches the text direction with just the right amount of sensitivity when you switch the position of the e-reader, and allows you to use the buttons on the right or left side without a hitch.

You can easily use the buttons on whichever side of the device you prefer. Credit: Bethany Allard / Mashable

Like the Kindle, the Kobo Libra Colour also has 32GB of storage, a seven-inch display, and an IPX8 waterproof rating. As for the color display, I can't say I use it that often. I love the color highlights when I'm in the mood to annotate, but I don't read that much actual color content. Still, I love that the covers of books appear in color. At the end of the day, I would probably spend $209 on an e-reader with the buttons in this shape — it's that good, and worth it (at least, until an e-reader maker gets it together and makes a budget model with buttons).

For all the pros, the Libra Colour does have its shortcomings: the tablet-like aspects aren't quite there due to some ghosting, lag, and inconsistent palm rejection. The color isn't crazy vibrant (more due to available tech than this specific e-reader), and it doesn't come with a case or stylus.

SEE ALSO: The 6 best e-readers of 2025, reviewed by someone who really loves books

I'm also mainly a library user, so I appreciate this e-reader's Overdrive integration that allows me to download books from Libby straight to my Kobo. But because the Kobo doesn't allow you to use multiple library cards at once, it does limit taking full advantage of the Libby catalog if you're a library hopper. Kobo's store also runs more expensive than Amazon's, but if I'm not using the library, I generally prefer to avoid buying books on Amazon (or anywhere that's not supporting independent sellers) regardless.

Kim K gave this Beats speaker a makeover — and we’re obsessed

Mashable - Wed, 07/09/2025 - 00:17

TL;DR: Kim K meets Beats — this sleek wireless speaker looks chic, sounds incredible, and delivers 24 hours of portable summer vibes for just $89.99 (reg. $149.99).

Opens in a new window Credit: Beats by Dre Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian Collab Wireless Bluetooth Speaker $89.99
$149.99 Save $60.00 Get Deal

There are plenty of Bluetooth speakers out there. But how many of them look like a cool, minimalist design and sound like a tiny concert on your countertop? The new Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian collab is where fashion meets function in one sleek, neutral-toned speaker with serious audio muscle.

Let’s start with what makes this speaker worth the hype. Inside that soft-touch, modern casing is a reengineered woofer that pushes out 90 percent more air for bass that actually thumps. Pair that with a redesigned tweeter and upgraded magnets, and you’ve got crystal-clear highs, punchy mids, and enough depth to make even your chill playlist feel like a live set. Whether you’re blasting dance tracks at a beach hang or setting the mood for an impromptu patio dinner, this speaker delivers.

But it’s not just about the sound. This version of the Beats Pill is all about thoughtful design. It tilts your audio upward (instead of into the picnic blanket), gives you up to 24 hours of battery life, and even lets you charge your phone via USB-C. Oh, and it’s IP67-rated, which is a fancy way of saying it’s water- and dust-resistant enough to handle park hangs, poolside splashes, or the bottom of your canvas tote.

It works with Apple’s Class 1 Bluetooth, meaning it connects easily, stays connected longer, and can pair with your iOS or Android device in a matter of seconds. You can even press the power button twice to activate Siri or your Google Assistant.

It’s stylish, smart, durable, and loud (in the best way). If you’re building your ultimate summer setup, this speaker isn’t just an accessory — it’s a main character.

Get the Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian collab Bluetooth Pill Speaker while it’s just $89.99 (reg. $149.99) through July 15.
