Amazon Prime Day: Best Tech Deals on Day Three

It’s day three of Prime Day, folks. We’re nearly 75 percent of the way through Amazon’s four-day sales event, and unsurprisingly, many deals are still sticking around. There have been all kinds of discounts on things like TVs, smart home gadgets, chargers, headphones, and more.

Prime Day typically isn’t as big of a deal as Black Friday, but it’s a chance to get some solid discounts on tech purchases both large and small. Many items are at or near their all-time low prices, and in the case of things that got more expensive this year due to RAMageddon it can be a chance to nab them at their old prices.

Echo Show 8 (2025)

The updated Echo Show 8 features an 8.7-inch display with 720p resolution, wider viewing angles, and higher contrast. It includes a 13-megapixel camera, new stereo speakers, and supports Alexa Plus, while doubling as a smart home hub with support for Zigbee, Matter, and Thread.

Amazon’s Echo Show 11 is on sale for $149.99 ($80 off) at Amazon, which marks its best price to date. It’s almost identical to the Echo Show 8, except that it offers a larger and sharper 1080p resolution.

You can buy the latest Echo Show 5 for $59.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, which is one of its better prices in recent months though $20 shy of its all-time low. The smart display also works with Alexa Plus, but it’s smaller than the Echo Show 8 with less robust sound, and better suited for small table tops or office desks.

Philips Hue smart bulb starter kit

The Philips Hue smart bulb starter kit comes with color-changing bulbs with 800 lumens of peak brightness that can be controlled with Alexa, Google Assistant, or the companion app. The included Hue Bridge lets you set custom lighting routines and expand your setup to 50 lights.

The Philips Hue Go Smart Portable Table Lamp is on sale for $123.47 ($53 off) at Amazon, which is a new low. The water resistant lamp can display millions of colors and lasts 48 hours on a single charge. It also offers customizable lighting effects and support for Matter, so you can control it via any major smart home platform.

If you like the idea of the Philips Hue portable smart lamp but want something cheaper, Govee’s Table Lamp Classic is down to a new low of $55.99 ($25 off) at Amazon. The rechargeable lamp isn’t weather-resistant, but it offers up to 30 hours of battery life, adjustable color temperatures, and dozens of preset scenes and colorful lighting effects.

Philips Hue Twilight sleep-wake lamp

Grab a great deal on this gorgeous sleep-wake light, now at its lowest-ever price. The striking Twilight lamp does so much more than just gradually brighten the light. Its full-color gradient LEDs create stunning sunrise and sunset scenes to help you wake up and wind down. It also serves as a smart home button to control other Hue lights and smart devices.

Amazon Echo Spot

The Echo Spot is an excellent smart alarm clock with decent sound for its size and no camera. It features Amazon’s smart voice assistant for voice control and is worthy of a spot on your nightstand.

The foundation of a good smart home is Wi-Fi, so if you’re still rocking a router with Wi-Fi 6 or even 5, Prime Day is a good time to upgrade. All of Amazon’s eero mesh Wifi routers are on sale, and its flagship eero Wifi 7 Pro is down to $549.99 from $699.99. If you don’t need that much power, the equally capable eero Wifi 6E is down to $329.99 for a three-pack.

Ring Battery Doorbell Plus (second-gen)

The 2026 doorbell offers 2K video and 6x zoom, plus a removable battery. It supports Ring’s Retinal Vision, which uses AI to improve footage quality.

Google Nest Wifi Pro

If you’re a Google smart home user, the Google Nest WiFi sporting 6E is almost 40 percent off for a 3-pack. In addition to Wi-Fi 6E, the Pro supports Matter and Thread smart home connectivity,

The rubbed-bronze version of the versatile Yale Assure Lock 2 with WiFi is $70 off on Prime Day, discounted to $189.98. This lock features a real keypad, not a touchscreen, along with support for all the major smart home platforms, including Apple Home (although it doesn’t work with Home Key).

Blink Video Doorbell (second-gen)

The latest Blink Video Doorbell is a nice step up from its predecessor, offering a 1080p head-to-toe view and more accurate motion alerts. The second-gen model promises up to two years of battery life, while an infrared night vision mode allows you to get a beat on visitors when it’s dark outside. When someone does drop by, you don’t even need to get up to answer, as it supports two-way talk through the Blink app.

Skylight Calendar 2

The 15-inch Skylight Calendar 2 shows color-coded schedules at a glance, with built-in tools for assigning chores, meal planning, and more. It can also import events from photos and automatically sync with calendars from Apple, Google, and Outlook.

The Aura Carver is on sale for $143 ($36 off) at Amazon, which is its best price to date. The 10-inch Wi-Fi digital picture frame lets you add photos remotely through the Aura app, email, or supported cloud services. You also upload 30-second videos and live photos, all without requiring a subscription.

Aqara Smart Lock U400

The only smart lock that works with Apple Home’s hands-free Home Key feature, the U400 is down to its lowest price. Aqara’s first UWB-enabled smart lock also features fingerprint access, a keypad, a keyway, and support for tap-to-unlock with iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones, thanks to Aliro.

SwitchBot Bot

If you’ve ever wished you had a robot that could push a button for you, that’s precisely what the SwitchBot Bot does. It’s simple, smart, and works on anything with a button. Stick it on the device you want to turn on or off, and you’re set.

SwitchBot Standing Circulator Fan

This handy portable smart fan is down to under $100. It can run on battery or be plugged in for permanent power and works as a tabletop or standing fan. The SwitchBot Fan features oscillation, and a built-in night light with smart controls is available through the SwitchBot app or connected smart home platforms.

E-reader deals

Kindle Paperwhite (12th-gen)

Amazon’s latest Kindle Paperwhite — aka our favorite ebook reader — is waterproof, has a seven-inch display, and lasts weeks per charge.

Amazon’s Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (its moniker for the 32GB version that supports wireless charging and has an auto-adjusting front light) is down to its best-ever price when purchased as a bundle. The “Essentials Bundle” that includes the e-reader, a leather cover, and a wireless charging dock is $257.97 ($132 off) at Amazon. The 16GB version that lacks the Signature features but includes the leather cover is $182.97 at Amazon.

The other color e-reader that Amazon sells, the Scribe Colorsoft, is available in a bundle that’s steeply discounted. The 32GB model that includes a pen, leather folio, and a power adapter is $549.97 ($220 off) at Amazon, down from its usual sale price of $729.97. It’s a fantastic deal considering just the tablet and pen typically sell for $629.99 and hasn’t previously been discounted.

Kindle (11th-gen)

Amazon’s latest entry-level Kindle retains a six-inch, 300ppi display and USB-C charger. It’s brighter and slightly faster than its predecessor, though, and features longer battery life.

Kobo Libra Colour

The Libra Colour is one of the first e-readers from Kobo with color. It packs physical-page turning buttons, stylus compatibility, and supports a broad range of file formats, while making it easy to borrow books from the Overdrive library system.

Sony WH-1000XM6

Sony’s latest pair of flagship headphones feature improved comfort, better noise cancellation, and the ability to charge while in use. They even fold down for travel, which can’t be said about the last-gen XM5.

Sony’s last-gen WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are selling for $198 at Amazon, which is the retailer’s best price yet. The set debuted for $399.99 and only really started dropping in price when its successor was released. While the XM6 gets the edge in terms of sound quality, comfort, and for having a foldable design, the XM5 are still fantastic — arguably the best over-ear headphones you can get at this price.

AirPods Max 2

Apple’s over-ears retain the premium design of the original while delivering improved sound quality and noise cancellation. They also sport Apple’s H2 chip, which enables newer features like live translation.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)

The second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds have dynamic, rich sound and the best noise cancellation currently available in a pair of true wireless earbuds. They’re a terrific pick if you want to listen to your music in peace.

The second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra over-ear headphones are selling for $379, one of their best prices yet, at Amazon. Originally $449, the noise-canceling headphones boast improved battery life with ANC switched on (up to 30 hours per charge), plus the ability to play lossless audio via their USB-C port, just like the AirPods Max 2.

Pixel Buds 2a

Google’s latest pair of wireless earbuds feature crisp sound quality, a comfortable design, and solid active noise cancellation, which is great considering the budget-friendly price tag. They even offer built-in support for Gemini and, unlike the entry-level AirPods, a purple option!

JBL might not be the first brand you associate with great over-ear noise-canceling headphones, but its Tour One M3 Smart Tx are a sleeper hit that’s currently down to its best price yet at Amazon. You can grab them for $249.95, which is $200 off their original price. They’re comfortable, and they sound great. But what sets them apart from competitors is the Auracast-compatible audio transmitter that lets the headphones connect to (and share) audio with other Auracast devices.

AirPods Pro 3

The AirPods Pro 3 have a new design that improves their fit, superior noise cancellation, better bass, and fairly accurate heart rate sensors.

Nothing Ear (a)

Nothing’s Ear (a) earbuds have the same general design as the company’s previous earbuds — but you can get these in a snazzy yellow. They include ANC, more than decent sound quality, and other features like multipoint for just under $100.

Shokz OpenRun Pro 2

The OpenRun Pro 2 are Shokz’s best bone conduction headphones yet, with better sound and more bass than their predecessor. Our reviewer Victoria Song praised their cozy fit as well as their USB-C charging (goodbye, proprietary charger!).

Shokz OpenFit 2 Plus

The OpenFit 2 Plus are nearly identical to the OpenFit 2 we tested in 2025. The wireless earbuds feature the same open-style design, a set of onboard controls, and dedicated bass speakers, but they also support wireless charging and Dolby Audio.

iPad deals

The 11-inch M4-powered iPad Air is on sale for $519 at Amazon and Best Buy, which is $230 off Apple’s new, higher price. This might be the last chance to get an iPad Air this cheap. The Air is a sizable step up from Apple’s entry-level iPad, combining a faster M4 chip with 12GB of RAM, Apple Intelligence features, and support for the Apple Pencil Pro. It also includes newer connectivity standards like Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, making it more future-proof.

iPad (2025)

Apple’s entry-level iPad is an excellent tablet for casual use, even if it is getting a little long in the tooth. Its high-res screen is great for watching video, and its A16 processor is still fast enough to handle light games and productivity apps.

iPad Mini (2024)

The iPad Mini’s smaller size is tailor-made for travel, with a light, sturdy design that’s easy to slip into a carry-on. Its compact 8.3-inch display is great for reading, watching movies, and playing games, and it even supports the Apple Pencil Pro, making it an excellent tool for doodling. The battery holds up well, too, and you can easily pair it with a Bluetooth keyboard to tackle some light work.

iPad Pro (2025)

Apple’s newest iPad Pros have an M5 processor, an N1 chip, and a C1X chip for cellular versions. They’re faster, support Wi-Fi 7, charge more quickly, and start with 12GB of RAM.

Anker Laptop Power Bank

Anker’s aptly titled Laptop Power Bank is a lifesaver for anyone who works or studies on the go. With an impressive 25,000mAh capacity and a total output of 165W, it can quickly charge a beefy MacBook Pro to 50 percent capacity in under 30 minutes. Plus, with three USB-C ports and a USB-A port, you can power multiple devices at once, including phones, tablets, and handheld consoles.

Apple MagSafe Charger (2m)

Apple’s latest MagSafe charger fully supports the newer Qi2.2 standard, allowing it to charge compatible devices (including the iPhone 17 series and Google’s Pixel 10 lineup) at 25W speeds.

Belkin’s triple charging stand achieves 15W MagSafe wireless iPhone charging speeds and keeps your phone and Apple Watch elevated for easy reading.

Belkin Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2

The case features an integrated power bank and a small pocket to stow an AirTag (or other similarly sized Bluetooth tracker).

Smartwatch and wearable deals

The Apple Watch Series 11 has dropped to $279 in the 42mm GPS configuration (originally $399) at Amazon and Walmart, which is $20 lower than it has previously sold for. $299 has been the normal sale price for the past few months, but those patiently waiting for another price drop have been rewarded. If you want the larger 46mm GPS model, that’s down to $309 at Amazon and Walmart, which is anothe
