October's Prime Big Deal Days: Deals to shop now
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days promo for October 2024
Amazon

Update 10/8/24: Prime Big Deal Days has officially started. We removed old, expired deals and added some highlights. However, so far the very best deals seem to be holding in well. We’ve covered a lot more categories of deals in a very specific level since the first iteration of this article as well, so this time we added in some of our favorite deep cuts that you’ll be likely to miss if you aren’t looking out for them.

While Prime Day 2024 might have come and gone earlier this year, Amazon has another big Prime event happening right now. Yes, now. Last year, they called it Prime Big Deal Days, and we’re excited it’s returning this year. Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days officially kicked off on Tuesday, October 8, and will have new deals available and continuously shared until Wednesday, October 9. We expect some huge markdowns, flash deals, and lots of discounts and offers on various gear, from home decor and furniture to toys, games, and tools. It’s already huge.

Some brands that Amazon has specifically called out include LEGO, Squishmallows, Disney, Amazon Essentials, NEST New York, Lenox, Lodge, and many more. That spans toys to home decor and winter fashion. Alongside the event, Amazon is sharing Holiday Gift Guides, complete with trending and on-sale items to help you find what you’re looking for. Of course, don’t forget our guides here at Digital Trends, especially on all of the best deals we’ve found.

From the Anker SOLIX F3800 power station for home backup to the new SOLIX C300 DC ultra portable power station and some solar panels to charge those systems, there are quite a few excellent deals available. Expect to save up to $4,334 on select Anker SOLIX power stations. If you’ve been waiting to stock up on portable power, now’s the ideal time. Be prepared for outages, backyard gatherings, emergencies, or off-grid living. Whatever you need, Anker SOLIX can provide it.

Please note that some of the deals are limited-time deals, which means they won’t be available for long. There are also exclusive deals and promotions for active Amazon Prime members.

Limited Time Deals

Mountain Voyage Co RFID-Blocking Leather Wallet — From 5% off

Mountain Voyage Co

If you’re looking for a slender card wallet that keeps everything compact, blocks info-stealing RFID, and looks pretty stylish, you have a short amount of time to get one for a few dollars off at this time. While we’re partial to the blue, pictured above, there are 22 variations to choose from, most having a discount between 5% and 15% off. If you want to take advantage of this Prime deal and browse around at all of the variations available, go ahead and tap the button below now.

Amazon Fire Stick 4K Max — $35 $60  42% off

Amazon

It’s no surprise that Amazon’s Fire sticks are on sale with an Amazon event coming up. It is, however, intriguing that they are labeled with Amazon’s “Limited time deal” tag. Is this Amazon’s way of signaling that this is the Big Deal days price or that these deals will be gone by then? In any event, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is reviewed as the Fire stick for you if you’re in the market for one, so now is likely the time to buy.

Also consider: Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K with carbon black wireless Xbox controller — 41% off

Ring Battery video doorbell — $60 $100 40% off

Ring Battery doorbell Prime Big Deal Days discount
Ring

A video doorbell, if you’re not familiar, allows you to answer your door and talk to whoever is there without ever opening the front door. More importantly, you can connect remotely to the doorbell even if you’re not home. That allows you to communicate with mail or package delivery pros, for example. Or, even communicate with someone bringing your Uber or Doordash order. The Ring Battery is a video doorbell that offers all of that, with better features than previous generations. We loved our time with the Ring Battery Pro model at Digital Trends. Reviewer Jon Bitner gave it four and a half stars praising its crisp video resolution, easily removable battery, and versatile installation support.

PLAUD Note AI voice recorder — $128 $160 20% off

PLAUD AI voice recorder on sale for Prime Big Deal Days
PLAUD

Empowered by ChatGPT, this powerful little voice recorder may just enable a whole new world of experiences for you. How? It supports 59 languages and has 64GB of built-in storage to take notes, transcribe, summarize, and much more. All local data is encrypted and cloud files remain exclusive to you. It’s tiny, sleek, and ultra-portable, but you can take it with you everywhere and anywhere. Use it to record interviews, disclosed conversations, lectures, meetings, and even phone calls.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 10.4-inch 64GB with S-Pen — $200 $330 39% off

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite with the included S Pen.
Samsung

Sure, it’s not bleeding edge and Samsung has come out with a few newer models since, but the S6 Lite is definitely still capable. Take note that this particular bundle includes the S-Pen, a digital stylus allowing you to sketch, draw, and create to your heart’s content, just like you’re using a pad of paper. It’s sleek, modern, and stylish, and comes with a gorgeous 10.4-inch display built for entertainment. Samsung DeX allows you to create a desktop-style experience on your tablet with an expanded workstation view and multiple windows.

LG 27-inch Ultragear gaming monitor — $240 $380 37%

The LG Ultragear 27GP750-B gaming monitor for Prime Big Deal Days
LG

With a maximum resolution of 2560 by 1440, this Nano IPS panel offers a 165Hz refresh rate, 178-degree viewing angles, a 1ms grey-to-grey response time, and both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium compatibility. It’s not a powerhouse in the sense that it’s top-of-the-line but it is a powerhouse if you consider the price-to-features ratio. Don’t sleep on this deal if you need a new monitor.

Shark AV2501AE AI Robot Vacuum — $300 $419  28% off

Shark

This Shark smart vacuum uses advanced LiDAR navigation, object detection, and more to get your carpets (including those with pet hair stuck in) and hard floors cleaned with minimal efforts from you. $300 makes this a competitive offer worthy of your attention.

Oura Ring 3 (Silver) — $289 $349  18% off

A close look at the Oura Ring's main sensors.
Andy Boxall / Digital Trends

The Oura Ring 3 is a fitness tracker that doesn’t take over your arm like a watch-like one would. What else sets is apart from the typical health and activity trackers? According to our Oura Ring 3 review, it is its “beautiful design, high-quality build, informative app, good battery life, and overall simplicity.” Fun note: The reviewer has worn the ring for three years, so this isn’t just a bit, but a lived-in review.

Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum — $349 $469  26% off

Dyson

Unfortunately, you really can’t skirt by with just a smart vac. The robust and versatile Dyson V8, full with HEPA filtration, is around to take care of the rest though. Dyson products are generally expensive, however, so be sure to pick up Dyson deals like this one when you can.

LG 77-inch M3 Wireless OLED Evo — $3,978 $5,000 20% off

LG M3 Wireless OLED review
Zeke Jones / Digital Trends

One of our favorite Big Deal Days OLED TV deals, this limited time offering on the wireless M3 OLED Evo is a great opportunity to reduce wire clutter in your theater setup. Instead of having to connect content inputs to the TV, you can instead put them into an out-of-the-way box. Our LG M3 Wireless OLED review mentions that these wireless connections are with “no added compression or pixelization.”

The best Prime Deals to shop now

Various PS5 Games — From $20

Giovanni Colantonio / Digital Trends

If you have a PS5 console, this is a reminder that you can always “upgrade” it by grabbing more games. And right now we’re seeing various games get the discount treatment, with games like Sonic Frontiers hitting $20 and the delightfully interesting Stray hitting $22. There are, however, pages and pages of discounted games right now. So, be sure to either browse or look for the titles missing from your ultimate collection. Not all are super low in price (Elden Ring, for example, is on sale but nowhere near the $20 mark) so a bit of buyers strategy will go a long way when shopping this sale.

Amazon Business Deals — 20% off or more

...
Sasi Ponchaisang / …

We don’t necessarily cover the business sector here directly that often, though we certainly look for excellent office chairs and print speed is a considered factor for our selected best printers. Your needs are on our radar. Right now we’re seeing special deals for businesses on regular items that you might need, such as scissors, clipboards, ballpoint pens, and more. You’ll get a discount via Amazon Business and then can save even more when you buy in bulk. Even if you don’t need something for your own business, passing these deals along to your boss might give you some brownie points.

LEGO Bestsellers — 20% off or more

Lego

We’re finding various sets from Lego’s bestsellers on sale right now, including the iconic house from Up, complete with balloons. While you can’t expect to find every bestseller on discount at the moment, you will have a good selection available, with something from every interest and difficult level on offer. We expect the deals in this section to rotate from the start of Prime Day deals to the end of Prime Day deals, so if you haven’t checked in on them in awhile, it is worth it to check again.

The best Prime Deals under $100

Dominion (2nd Edition) — $34 $50 32% off

The box of Dominion 2nd Edition from Rio Grande Games.
Rio Grande Games

Dominion is one of those lovely early deckbuilding boardgames that influenced the genre, including video games like Slay the Spire. This deal, one of our favorite Big Deal Days board game deals, puts the game at an accessible price for new audiences.

TP-Link Tapo MagCam 2K Wire-Free Security Camera — $60 $120 50% Off

TP-Link Tapo Wire-Free MagCam
TP-Link

While we may associate TP-Link with some of the best routers around, they’ve also dabbled in the home security space with a camera that offers convenience and (with this deal) affordable pricing. The big things to know about TP-Link’s Tapo is its 2K resolution imagery, 150 degree viewframe, and wireless operation that won’t force you to feed wires from your home to it to operate. You’ll also appreciate its weather resistance, lengthy battery life of up to 300 days (you can buy a solar panel for it, too, if you like), and color night vision. If you’ve been curious about home security cams but were turned off by hubs, 10-piece systems, complicated wiring, and high prices then this is the cam for you. Don’t forget to clip that $10 off on-page coupon for the extra discount.

Apple AirTag 4-Pack — $80 $99 19% Off

Apple

The Apple AirTag is a small location tracker that you can use to find whatever you need most — like your keys. With a simple one-tap easy setup you can track your devices and gear using the Apple Find My app. Play a sound on the built-in speaker to help locate it. Or, just ask Siri for assistance. Precision location finding thanks to Wideband technology ensures you’ll always be led right to where the tag is. This deal nets you a pack of four for a great price. If you want to learn more about them be sure to check out Digital Trends’ Apple AirTag review.

Dewalt 20-volt Max Cordless Drill and Driver Set — $99 $179 45% Off

A DeWalt Cordless Drill kit that includes a drill, batteries, a charger, and a bag. All on a white background.
DeWalt/Amazon / DeWalt/Amazon

If you’re buying a new TV you want to mount, monitor arms, or any other products that require drilling and screwing, this deal is for you. What it provides is a powerful drill/driver (the “driver” here means the same as it does in screwdriver) as well as a pair of batteries and a charger for them. What’s more is that this kit will get you set to get more items in the DeWalt 40V line (there are hundreds) that don’t come with batteries. In other words, this is an excellent way to get your power tool collection started and the most convenient way to get mounts installed.

Bissell Little Green Carpet Cleaner — $100 $124 19% Off

Bissell

The big deal with Bissell’s Little Green is that it is compact, easy to move, and powerful. Plus, it comes with HydroRinse tools to tackle coffee, wine, and other similar stains. You can use it to deal with messes in your car, on your carpet, and anywhere that has tough-to-remove pet hairs. Then, when you’re done, you can store it in a cabinet or under the kitchen sink without taking up closet space or a wall-mount area like you would with a traditional vacuum. The version that this deal covers is the wired version, but you should know that there is a wireless version available as well.

The best Prime Deals under $500

Callaway Golf 300 Pro Laser Rangefinder — $200 $300 33% Off

Callaway's Golf 300 Pro Laser Rangefinder seen from the side.
Callaway

If you’re a golfer and don’t have a range finder yet, or just want to upgrade to one with a laser, check this out. It uses a laser for very accurate slope calculations on the green, though there is also a ‘slope off’ switch to make it tournament legal. When not checking the slopes, you can measure ranges between 5 and 1,000 yards, snap onto a pin under 300 yards away, and then plop it on your cart with its extra strong magnet. Its also worth nothing that this has a nicely texture grip on the top and bottom to ensure a secure hold even with sweaty or wet hands.

Apple Watch Se 2 (GPS, 40mm) — $189 $249 24% off

Apple

Perhaps one of the best deals in our roundup of Apple Watch Big Day Deals, if you’re willing to get the SE 2 in the ‘Starlight’ coloration (seen above) you can get it for one of the lowest prices available. Our Apple Watch SE 2 review praises the watch for its simplicity as well as its comfort as an all day (and night) wear.

Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C — $190 $249 24% Off

Zeke Jones / Digital Trends

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are the best wireless earbuds you can get if you’re an iPhone and iPad user. Especially when they, like with the ones in this deal, have USB-C charging. They are convenient to use with your iPhone, work with the Find My feature, and have an impressive adaptive transparency feature that tunes outside noises to a tolerable level. Our Apple AirPods Pro 2 review covers the new charging in depth, with highlights including that the new case has added dust resistance (in addition to water resistance) and our reviewer notes that you can also charge the case by connecting it to an iPhone, such as the iPhone 15.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Plus 11-inch 128GB — $220 $270 19% Off

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ on a white background.
Samsung

If you want a decent tablet that starts out affordable and still gets a discount on top of that, this is the tablet deal to look at right now. It has a 1920 x 1200p 11-inch screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and, for the version that comes with this deal, 128GB of storage space, enough to hold a ton of photos, videos, and games. Plus, you’ll like using streaming apps due to its quad speaker design. Overall, this is an enduring favorite, especially for those of you that aren’t likely to get an iPad.

Amazon Fire TV 50-inch 4-Series 4K UHD Smart TV —$280 $450 38% Off

Amazon 50-inch Class 4 Series 4K UHD Smart Fire TV product image white bg
Amazon

This is Amazon’s answer to the smart streaming TV on a budget. The 4-Series version of the Fire TV is considered the best for everyday use. It doesn’t have extras like QLED screen tech that you might see on the Omni QLED version but has a much better picture than the 2-Series. With a 4K resolution, 50-inches of screen, HDR 10, and easy access to Fire TV features like Alexa voice control, this is the perfect TV for an average family to gather around.

Apple AirPods Max — $395 $549 71% off

Apple AirPods Max
Riley Young / Digital Trends

One of the hottest finds among our Big Deal Days headphones deals coverage, the Apple AirPods Max at 27% off represent big savings and the best price Amazon has given them in quite awhile. As most iPhone users would agree, our Apple AirPods Max review called these “darn-near perfect” headphones.

Shark AI Ultra Voice Control Robot Vacuum — $406 $599 32% Off

Shark AI Ultra Voice Control smart vacuum early Amazon Prime Day October deal
Shark

Cleaning is an endless chore but with a robot vacuum, you can cut down on how much time you spend doing it. That’s especially true of an advanced system like Shark’s AI Ultra Voice Control smart vacuum. It uses intelligent navigation to move around the home, without getting stuck or running over objects. More importantly, it features a 60-day cleaning capacity with a self-empty base. That means it will return to its base between cleanings, empty the dustbin, and charge. Plus, hands-free voice controls through Alexa or Google Assistant allow you to schedule cleanings, activate the vacuum and more. This deal drops the price to a super-enticing low.

More Prime Deals we love

  • Baseus MagSafe 10,000mAh portable charger —  56% off
  • Echo Dot 5th Gen with Jack Skellington Shell —  36% off
  • Toshiba 7.7-quart 13-in-1 air fryer over — 41% off

Hisense 75-inch ULED 4K Smart Fire TV — $600 $648 7% Off

The Hisense 75-inch U6HF ULED 4K TV on a gray background.
Hisense

For a bigger TV experience, take a look at Hisense’s 75-inch ULED. Naturally, at this size, the TV is 4K but you should also know that it has motion rate 240, both HDR 10 and HDR 10 Plus, and easy Bluetooth connectivity for your headphones for TV watching when you don’t want to make a sound. As an aside, if you were curious what type of TV this is, as “ULED” isn’t common like QLED or OLED, you should know that this is classified as a QLED, with the ULED being a color, contrast, brightness, and motion boosting tech from Hisense.

Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme — $690 $760 9% Off

Asus

If you haven’t yet invested in the world of handheld PC gaming — a la Steam Deck — then this is a great entry point. In our Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme review, gaming expert Jacob Roach praised its solid performance, acceptable battery life, beautiful screen, and widespread PC gaming support. He did have a few qualms with it, particularly because the high-performance mode drains the battery fast, and Windows on a handheld has a lot of quirks. But honestly, this is one of the better gaming handhelds out there, besides the Steam Deck. The current Amazon deal brings the price down to a more reasonable range, too.

Sony Bravia Theater Bar 9 (Renewed) — $898 $1,398 36% Off

Sony Bravia Theater Bar 9: Left angle view.
Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

It should be a given that if you want a high tier home theater experience you’re going to need one of the best soundbars (or some sort of speakers) on top of a great TV or projector. However, the top-end products in this category can be rather expensive. This renewed version of the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 9 is no cheap piece, either, but you’re getting a good deal on it. And, considering it is made to last, having someone else having used it for a bit before you get your hands on it is no huge deal. Our Sony Bravia Theater Bar 9 review goes into the extensive details that you’d want before buying something like this, but you’ll especially want to note that the bar is simple and streamlined to use, with our reviewer saying that “Everything about it — from its design to its features — is a simplification of the HT-A7000.” As a result, it has a nice look, but make sure the connections and features you want are still present.

Samsung 75-inch QN90C Neo QLED 4K TV — $1,798 $2,998 40% off

Samsung QN90C review
Zeke Jones/Digital Trends / Samsung

Considered to be one of the best QLED TVs, the QN90C is a premium choice for your home. Considered a “short-list TV for anyone who values premium picture quality” by our reviewer in our Samsung Neo QLED QN90C review, it is an excellent buy at 40% off.

When is Amazon Prime Big Deal days 2024?

Amazon Prime Big Deal days officially start on October 8th and go until October 9th. This isn’t, however, the full story. There are going to be deals as well as competitor deals. While Amazon sort of rules the market, and many people will hold out to see what Amazon does before making a big purchase, there’s nothing stopping manufacturers and retailers from throwing their hat in the ring, too. Expect “Early Halloween Deals” and “Early October Savings” sales to pop up now that October has started. Plus, even on Amazon, individual retailers may decide to mark sales items in their stores ahead of other deals.

We’ll be covering all of the items relevant to you during this time, so be sure to bookmark the page. We’re also rolling out assessments of particular categories of deals, such as Prime Big Deal Days for Dell products, as the event approaches, so keep your eyes peeled on the site for the latest.

What kind of discounts can we expect from Prime Big Deal Days in October?

Amazon has shared that there will be deals on toys, Halloween costumes, and accessories — just in time for the holiday — and savings on a wide variety of essentials from home goods to apparel. If you’re looking to save on some new outfits, you can enjoy up to 40% off winter fashion from Amazon Essentials. But here’s the thing, you don’t have to wait until October to start saving. Amazon already has a smattering of .

For example, you can save up to 55% off select Amazon devices. Or, how about 40% off on Carnival cruises? We’re barely scratching the surface here so I highly recommend you take a look at some of those Prime deals for yourself.

What is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?

Similar to Prime Day, but not Prime Day, Amazon’s Big Deal Days is an exclusive and seasonal event just before the holidays. It’s your chance to shop for anything you might have missed out on earlier in the year or to help prepare for the holiday season. It’s also a great time to snag a deal on something you’ve been waiting to buy, or something you’ve planned to grab but never did.

During last year’s event, it lasted for two days, just like this year. The deals were steep and extravagant, with rotating deals available throughout those two days. It was honestly one of the best times to shop last year, even with Black Friday and Cyber Monday hot on its heels in November.

Tips for finding the best deals

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event inhabits an awkward space — it’s just over a month away from Black Friday and Cyber Monday. That means you may want to be strategic in your purchasing. Items you want or need now (think replacement laptops, a tablet that doesn’t have a broken screen, and other important things like that) are an obvious pickup, but what about other deals? For Amazon-affiliated products (think Fire TVs, Alexa devices, etc.) you can expect great prices from any deals offered since this is their event. To get the best deals during the event from other brands, go in with a strategy. List what you want a price you’re willing to pay for it. Then, see if it goes on sale during the event. If it doesn’t, check our guides for vetted competitors that might have a price closer to what you want. However, if you don’t find anything now, it is okay. You can always wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Speaking again to the notion of vetted products, note that we’re zeroing in on a large number of things that we have personal experience with. You’ll see links to our reviews as well as key pieces of info from them throughout our writeups when they’re items that we’ve spent a lot of time with. Key terms and jargon — Amazon product titles are filled with keywords, after all — will also be explained to help you get the best idea of what a product does, alongside context that compares the items to others in the space.

Finally, note that there is some luck to finding the best deals. Sometimes an item will sell “too well” at the price it gets for this event and will have a higher price during the next event. Other times, the price lowers the closer we get to November. As the stock adage goes, you can’t time the market. Instead, focus on buying items that you want at a price that feels good to you.

How We Chose these Amazon Prime Day Deals

With Amazon having such a massive selection of items, it can be nearly impossible to pick up the best deals out of all the possibilities. That’s why we rely heavily on our own experience and tools to check things like historical pricing and whether similar items offer the same or better value. It’s a balancing act that does its best to ensure that you’re always getting the best and cheapest deal for whatever you’re buying. Not to mention that we try to also include deals that aren’t specifically Amazon Prime deals so that deals are more accessible and aren’t locked behind a membership.

Do I need to be an Amazon Prime member to participate?

Not for all the discounts, but the best ones will be exclusive to Amazon Prime Members. You’ll definitely want to sign up ahead of October if you’re not already an active member. The good news is you can utilize a free trial, but only if you’re a new customer. As long as you , you’ll get 30 days free of Prime access, which includes the Prime Big Deal Days event.

The Amazon Echo Show 8 is $85 at Best Buy today

Published

The Amazon Echo Show 8 is $85 at Best Buy today

Amazon has officially launched its October Prime Big Deal Days event, which means tons of discounts. Chief among them are many deals on Amazon brand products, like the Echo and Alexa-enabled devices. Of course, Amazon isn’t the only one with incredible discounts. Take the Best Buy Prime Big Deal Days sale, for instance. You might be surprised to see something like the Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) discounted to $85, from $150, which saves $65. Yes, that’s the same price as Amazon but here’s why it matters. If you’re a you’ll get extras like free two-day shipping, or possibly save more, especially if you have the brand’s credit card with rewards. So, you could technically get it cheaper through Best Buy if you play your cards right.

Why shop the Echo Show 8 deal at Best Buy?

The Echo Show 8 transforms everything you know about the Echo and Alexa experience. How and why? Because it has a small display incorporated which adds visuals to the audio. So, instead of just talking to Alexa and having her send you audio cues and information, you can actually see it now. Like pulling up the live feed for a security camera, watching media on Netflix and streaming services, or even shopping through the device.

It’s your smart home, simplified. Use your voice to set timers, create lists, shop, and much more. But more importantly, you can see all the visual data like calendars, notes, reminders, and adaptive content. The Echo Show 8 was actually made with sustainable resources, as it’s 29% recycled materials. That’s pretty neat.

But I probably don’t need to explain how the 8-inch touchscreen enhances the experience. Or, wait, technically I already did? No matter.

While normally you’d buy an Echo through Amazon, it’s available at Best Buy at a huge discount today, too. It’s $85, which is the same price as on Amazon, down from $150. But the reason why you might buy through Best Buy instead includes access to Best Buy’s services, like the program, or even using rewards if you have a Best Buy credit card and still accrue rewards points. That’s what I do and sometimes I get my gear even cheaper through Best Buy if you can believe it.

This SanDisk 1.5TB microSD is back down to $89

MicroSD cards come in tons of different storage capacities but you don’t often see super low prices on high capacity options from brands like SanDisk, luckily Prime Big Deal Days has brought SanDisk’s 1.5TB Ultra microSD back down to its lowest ever price of $89.29.

We’ve seen this microSD card at this price once before but that was all the way back in July. On average, it sits at around $120 and just earlier this month it was around $94. If you’re in need of a high-quality microSD card then this is one you’ll want to pick up.

SanDisk 1 5TB Ultra Amazon Price History

These days, all kinds of devices take microSD cards for their expandable storage. So you can use it for anything from smartphones to laptops. If you’re a gamer, then this is a perfect solution to expandable storage for devices like the ROG Ally X or the Steam Deck OLED. I’m using the 1TB model of this card in my ROG Ally X and it’s been a huge improvement in the experience. As it allows me to install more games so I have more to play.

It features fast read and write speeds too, so I’m not dealing with slow-downs on game load times or installation times. It’s generally been just as fast as the internal storage. If you’re using this inside a phone, then it should translate to faster load times for apps. It comes with an SD adapter too. Basically, if you want to use this with a digital camera or a camcorder of some sort, you’ll probably need a regular-size SD card for that. And that’s where the SD adapter with this card comes in. No matter how you slice it, $89.29 for 1.5TB of storage in a SanDisk microSD card is a great deal.

If you’re keen on making your home a bit smarter, an Echo speaker or smart display can help by giving you an easy way to interact with Alexa. The voice assistant is compatible with so many smart home devices at this point, including smart light bulbs and robot vacuum cleaners, and it’s convenient that there’s an Echo device for nearly every budget now.

  • Echo Dot for $23 ($27 off): This is one of the best smart speakers you can get right now thanks to its compact design, physical button controls that compliment voice commands and its solid sound quality for its size.

  • Echo Pop for $18 ($22 off): One of Amazon’s newest smart devices, the Pop sports a 1.95-inch front-facing speaker, a physical mic mute switch for extra privacy and eero compatibility.

  • Amazon Echo Spot for $45 ($35 off): This recently revived smart display is billed as a smart alarm clock, and it features a customizable screen, big sound for its size and all the perks for Alexa voice commands. You can also grab it bundled with a free TP-Link smart light bulb.

  • Echo for $55 ($45 off): We consider this to be the best smart speaker for $100 or less at the moment thanks to its loud audio with good bass quality, the ability to pair two together for stereo sound and Alexa’s utility.

  • Echo Show 5 for $50 ($40 off): This is one of our favorite smart displays thanks to its compact design, ambient light sensor and sunrise alarm feature, all of which make it an excellent smart alarm clock. Amazon improved the speaker quality on this latest model, which gives sound deeper bass and clearer vocals.

  • Echo Show 8 for $85 ($65 off): This is our current top pick for the best smart display with Amazon’s Alexa thanks in part to its 8-inch touchscreen, 13MP camera that supports auto-framing for better video chats and its built-in Zigbee smart home hub.

  • Echo Buds for $25 ($25 off): These are one of our top picks for the best budget wireless earbuds you can get right now thanks to their comfortable design, pocket-friendly case, automatic wear detection, multi-device connectivity and, of course, built-in Alexa voice controls.

  • Echo Dot Kids for $28 ($32 off): The kids version of the Echo Dot uses the same basic hardware, but comes with a cute dragon or owl cover, plus parental controls and a year’s subscription to Amazon Kids+ that can play kid-friendly audiobooks and more.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition

The three best times of the year to buy a new Kindle ereader are Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Prime Day. Typically the latter is the best of the three, and we’re seeing solid sale prices across the entire Kindle lineup right now.

  • Kindle Paperwhite for $125 ($25 off): The latest version of the Paperwhite has thinner bezels, an adjustable warm light, speedier page turns and a battery that can last up to 10 weeks on a single charge. This model is also IPX8 waterproof and has built-in Audible integration.

  • Kindle Scribe for $255 ($85 off): The Scribe is one of the best E-Ink tablets you can buy at the moment, and certainly the top pick if you want a writable table that also excels as an ereader. It provides a great reading and writing experience, thanks in part to its ability to access the entire Kindle ebook library, and it has handy Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox integration.

Amazon Fire HD 10

Amazon’s Fire tablets make great couch devices, or first tablets for kids who have no business touching their parents’ fancy iPads and Galaxy tabs. While they go on sale semi-frequently throughout the year, Prime Day is the time where you’re likely to get the greatest discounts.

  • Fire HD 8 tablet for $55 ($45 off): Amazon just released this new version of the HD 8 tablet, which includes more RAM, a better camera and new AI features not found on the previous model.

  • Fire HD 10 tablet for $75 ($65 off): This slab has a 10-inch FHD touchscreen, improved camera for video calls, 13 hours of battery life and it works with a stylus (although you have to buy that separately). If you’re looking for a cheap tablet that doesn’t compromise too many of the basics, this is a good option.

  • Fire Max 11 tablet for $140 ($90 off): Amazon’s most powerful tablet sports an 11-inch 2,000 x 1,200 touchscreen, an octa-core processor, up to 128GB of storage and 14 hours of battery life. It also works with a number of optional accessories, including a stylus and keyboard case.

  • Fire HD 10 Kids tablet for $110 ($80 off): Designed for kids aged three to seven, this tablet comes with full parental controls plus one year of Amazon Kids+ for free with the tablet purchase. It also has a 10-inch FHD touchscreen, an octa-core processor and 13 hours of battery life, plus it comes with a two-year warranty and a protective case.

  • Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet for $110 ($80 off): This model is designed for kids aged six to 12 and comes with a slimmer protective case, a two-year warranty and one year of access to Amazon Kids+. Otherwise, you get a very similar experience here that you would with the non-Pro version, including parental controls, a 10-inch touchscreen, solid performance and a 13-hour battery life.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max

Fire TV devices can help turn an old TV into a smart one, or give you respite from a smart TV interface that you despise (as long as you can deal with Fire TV OS pushing Prime Video content in your face). But arguably the best thing about these devices is that there’s an option for every budget, and the barrier to entry lowers even further with Prime Day deals.

  • Fire TV Stick Lite streamer for $18 ($12 off): This is already the most affordable Fire TV streaming stick, but it’s a steal at this sale price. It supports 1080p content and comes with a “lite” version of the Alexa Voice Remote.

  • Fire TV Stick streamer for $20 ($20 off): This dongle ups the ante on the TV Stick Lite by adding support for Dolby Atmos audio, plus it comes with the regular version of the Alexa Voice Remote. It also supports Wi-Fi 5 and comes with 8GB of internal storage.

  • Fire TV Stick 4K streamer for $25 ($25 off): This mode is the cheapest Fire TV Stick you can get to stream 4K content, plus it has support for Wi-Fi 6 and Dolby Vision and Atmos. With its live picture-in-picture feature, you can view security camera feeds right on your TV while you’re watching your favorite show or movie.

  • Fire TV Stick 4K Max streamer for $35 ($25 off): In addition to 4K HDR streaming with Dolby Vision and Atmos support, the 4K Max dongle includes Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, 16GB of built-in storage and live picture-in-picture capabilities.

  • Fire TV Cube set-top box for $100 ($40 off): This model will provide the best performance of any Fire TV streaming device, and it supports 4K HDR content, Dolby Vision and Atmos and an enhanced version of the Alexa Voice Remote. Along with live picture-in-picture view and the Fire TV ambient experience, you can also hardware other devices to the Fire TV Cube including a cable box or a game console.

Ring Video Doorbell

You may not immediately think of them when you think about Amazon’s own tech, but the shopping giant also owns Ring and Blink. Gadgets from these companies make up most of Amazon’s home security offerings, and you can usually find steep discounts during Prime Day on security cameras, alarm systems and other bundles.

Fei-Fei Li picks Google Cloud, where she led AI, as World Labs’ main compute provider

Fei-Fei Li picks Google Cloud, where she led AI, as World Labs' main compute provider

Cloud providers are chasing after AI unicorns, and the latest is Fei-Fei Li’s World Labs. The startup just tapped Google Cloud as its primary compute provider to train AI models, a deal that could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But Li’s tenure as chief scientist of AI at Google Cloud wasn’t a factor, the company says.

During the Google Cloud Startup Summit on Tuesday, the companies announced World Labs will use a large chunk of its funding to license GPU servers on the Google Cloud Platform, and ultimately train “spatially intelligent” AI models.

A handful of well-funded startups building AI foundation models are highly sought after in the cloud services world. Some of the largest deals include OpenAI, which exclusively trains and runs AI models on Microsoft Azure, and Anthropic, which uses AWS and Google Cloud. These companies regularly pay millions of dollars for computing services, and could one day need even more as their AI models scale. That makes them valuable customers for Google, Microsoft, and AWS to build relationships with early on.

World Labs is certainly building unique, multimodal AI models with significant compute needs. The startup just raised $230 million at more than a billion-dollar valuation, a deal led by A16Z, in order to build AI world models. General manager of startups and AI at Google Cloud, James Lee, tells TechCrunch that World Labs’ AI models will one day be able to process, generate, and interact with video and geospatial data. World Labs calls these AI models “spatial intelligence.”

Li has deep ties with Google Cloud, having led the company’s AI efforts in 2018. However, Google denies that this deal is a product of that relationship, and rejects the idea that cloud services are just commodities. Instead, Lee said services, such as its High Performance Toolkit to scale AI workloads, and its deep supply of AI chips were a larger factor.

“Fei-Fei is obviously a friend of GCP,” said Lee in an interview. “GCP wasn’t the only option they looked at. But for all the reasons we talked about – our AI optimized infrastructure and the ability to meet their scalability needs – ultimately they came to us.”

Google Cloud offers AI startups a choice between its proprietary AI chips, tensor processing units or TPUs, and Nvidia’s GPUs, which Google purchases and has a more limited supply of. Google Cloud is trying to get more startups to train AI models on TPUs, largely as a means to reduce its dependency on Nvidia. All cloud providers are limited today by the scarcity of Nvidia GPUs, so many are building their own AI chips to meet demand. Google Cloud says some startups are training and inferencing solely on TPUs, however, GPUs still remain the industry’s favorite AI training chip.

World Labs chose to train its AI models on GPUs in this deal. However, Google Cloud wouldn’t say what went into that decision.

“We worked with Fei-Fei and her product team, and at this stage of their product roadmap, it made more sense for them to work with us on the GPU platform,” said Lee in an interview. “But it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a permanent decision… Sometimes [startups] move onto different platforms, such as TPUs.”

Lee would not disclose how large World Labs’ GPU cluster is, but cloud providers often dedicate massive supercomputers for startups training AI models. Google Cloud promised another startup training AI foundation models, Magic, a cluster with “tens of thousands of Blackwell GPUs,” each of which has more power than a high-end gaming PC.

These clusters are easier to promise than they are to fulfill. Google’s cloud services competitor Microsoft is reportedly struggling to meet the insane compute demands of OpenAI, forcing the startup to tap other options for computing power.

World Labs’ deal with Google Cloud is not exclusive, meaning the startup may still strike deals with other cloud providers. However, Google Cloud says it will get a majority of its business moving forward.
