Fall Prime Day presents a good opportunity for Prime members to snag holiday gifts early, and thats perhaps most relevant for those eyeing Amazons own devices. Gadgets like Echo speakers, Fire TV sticks and Kindles are almost guaranteed to be on sale during members-only sale events like this, and this time around, were seeing some of the best prices weve seen all year. That means its the time to stock up if youre a Prime member and have wanted another Echo speaker for your office, a Fire tablet for your young child or a new Kindle to replace your aging one, these deals are the ones to snag. Here are the best Prime Day deals on Amazon devices for October Prime Day 2024. Prime Day deals on Echo speakers and displays Will Lipman Photography for Engadget If youre 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 its convenient that theres 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 Amazons 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 ogether for stereo sound and Alexas 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 Amazons 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. Prime Day deals on Kindle ereaders Will Lipman Photography for Engadget 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 were 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. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids for $115 ($55 off): This kids bundle includes the standard Kindle Paperwhite with 16GB of RAM, a kid-friendly cover, a two-year warranty and one free year of access to Amazon Kids+. 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. Prime Day deals on Fire tablets Will Lipman Photography for Engadget Amazons 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 youre 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 youre looking for a cheap tablet that doesnt compromise too many of the basics, this is a good option. Fire Max 11 tablet for $140 ($90 off): Amazons 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. Prime Day deals on Fire TV devices Photo by Jeff Dunn / Engadget 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 theres 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 its 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 youre 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. Prime Day deals on Ring and Blink devices Ring 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. Ring pan and tilt security camera for $50 ($30 off): This security camera joined the Ring lineup only a few months ago, and this is the best price we've seen on it. It's part of a larger Ring sale that discounts home security gear by up to 50 percent. Ring Video Doorbell for $60 ($40 off): This entry-level security doorbell records 1080p video, supports motion detection and privacy zones and has a built-in, rechargable battery and can be hardwired to your doorbell wiring. Blink Outdoor 4 + Blink Mini 2 bundle for $50 ($90 off): It's almost a guarantee that Blink security systems will be on sale for Prime Day(s) and this time is no different. This bundle is 64 percent off, and there are a bunch of other bundles on sale that include cameras, video doorbells and more. Blink Outdoor 4 + Echo Show 5 bundle for $60 ($130 off): This bundle gives you a one-camera Blink system that can be used indoors or outdoors along with an Echo Show 5, which you can use to see camera feeds just by using Alexa voice commands.

Amazons second Prime Day of the year is here and some of the best Prime Day deals are on Kindle ereaders. In our buying guide for ereaders, we acknowledge the fact that Amazon is the dominant force in this universe. The base model Kindle is our pick for the most cost-effective ereader you can buy. And the Kindle Paperwhite signature prompted one of our editors to declare it the best ereader (period). Kindles dont go on sale nearly as often as the other devices Amazon makes, but were seeing a number of Prime Day Kindle deals right now. While there will likely be a brand new Kindle out there soon, this is still a good time to get a discount on a solid ebook reader. October Prime Day 2024 Kindle deals Nathan Ingraham / Engadget Amazon Kindles dominate the ereader market, and right now there are four models to choose from. Of course, a new Kindle is likely on the horizon rumors suggest as much and the last entry in the lineup came over two years ago. But since ereaders aren't as tech-heavy as a tablet, the generational bump may not make as much difference. What you buy today should still serve its basic function displaying crisp text for years to come. Here are the best Prime Day Kindle deals. Amazon Kindle for $80 ($20 off): The base-model ereader is our pick for the best budget ereader you can buy. Its got a clear, 300-ppi screen, long battery life and a display thats easy to customize to your reading preferences. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite for $125 ($25 off): The Paperwhite is an upgraded Kindle, adding a larger display, an adjustable warm light and a waterproof build. The flush-front screen makes page turns easier and a faster processor makes that action speedier, too. Amazon Kindle Scribe for $256 ($84 off): You can write as well as read with this tablet. It has a large 10.2-inch display, auto-adjusting warm front light and an auto-rotating display. It comes with the Basic pen so you can use the notebook feature that even converts handwriting to text. October Prime Day 2024 Kindle Kids deals Amazon Kindles geared towards kids are basically the same thing as their adult counterparts, but these come with a cover, extended warranty and a free trial of Amazon Kids+ that lets youngsters access kid-friendly audiobooks, stories and more. Plus they dont have ads on the lock screen (Amazon makes you pay $20 for that concession on the standard devices). Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids for $115 ($55 off): The kids edition of the upgraded Paperwhite ereader has a flush-front design, waterproof build and warm front lights for late-night reading. It comes with a cover, a two-year warranty and a year of the kids subscription.

Amazons Prime Day sales tend to be a decent source of discounts for gaming gear, and its latest Prime Big Deal Days event is no exception. The two-day event includes a $50 discount on the PlayStation 5, for one, while other games, headsets, mice and controllers we like are down to all-time or near-low prices as well. If youre looking to upgrade your setup and cant wait until Black Friday, weve rounded up the best Prime Day deals on gaming devices below. Well update this post as we find more; just remember that you need to be a Prime member to access some of the offers. Best Prime Day gaming deals The Astro A40 TR gaming headset.Photo by Jeff Dunn / Engadget PlayStation 5 (slim) for $449 ($51 off): While this isnt the best PS5 deal weve ever seen, steeper discounts for Sonys console have been infrequent, so this isnt the worst time to hop aboard. If nothing else, its a better value for most than the PS5 Pro. PlayStation 5 Digital Edition (slim) for $400 ($50 off): If youre 100 percent sure youll only buy games digitally, the version of the PS5 without a disc drive is also on sale for $50 less. Annoyingly, this was the standard going rate for the original PS5 Digital Edition, but Sony hiked the consoles MSRP by $50 when it introduced these slim models last year. Astro A40 TR gaming headset for $90 ($40 off): Its several years old, but the open-back Astro A40 TR remains a top wired gaming headset thanks to its spacious sound and comfy design. The built-in microphone is pretty mediocre, however. This deal checks in $10 below the usual discount price weve seen over the course of this year. Corsair Virtuoso Pro gaming headset for $140 ($60 off): The Virtuoso Pro is another wired open-back pair we recommend in our gaming headset guide. Its not quite as good of a value as the Astro A40 TR, but it has a clearer mic, and we found its sound profile to work better with some (but not all) games. This deal matches the lowest price weve tracked. Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless MMO gaming mouse for $90 ($40 off): The Scimitar Elite is the wireless version of the top MMO pick in our guide to the best gaming mice. It offers 12 customizable side buttons that make it easier to pull of complex commands in MOBAs or MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV. This is the second-largest discount weve seen. WD Black C50 Xbox Expansion Card (1TB) for $124 ($34 off): Its a pain in the neck, but the only way to fully expand the storage of an Xbox Series X/S is to use a proprietary expansion card such as the C50. This deal isnt an all-time low, but its $10 to $20 cheaper than the typical street prices weve seen over the last several months. Seagates Xbox cards are technically on sale as well, but those discounts arent anything significant. Alienware M18 R2 gaming laptop for $2,300 ($500 off): The M18 R2 is the latest version of the top 18-inch pick in our guide to the best gaming laptops. Its an absolute hoss of a notebook, but its built well, and this model with an RTX 4080 GPU, 32GB of RAM and a Core i9-14900HX chip is powerful enough to play modern games in 1080p or 1440p at high-ish settings. While not cheap, this matches the configs second-best price to date. The WD Black C50 Storage Expansion Card for Xbox consoles.WD Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown for $20 ($30 off): Its story isnt much, and it doesnt veer too far outside the usual Metroidvania lines, but The Lost Crown should be a safe bet for most people looking for a tight-playing action-platformer. This discount marks a new low for the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game. Assassins Creed Mirage for $23 ($27 off): Mirage is a something of a throwback to older Assassins Creed games, one thats smaller in scope than the more recent open-world entries. We called it a warm, bloody hug from an old friend in our review in video game land, thats a good thing. These days we usually see the game retail around $30. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 for $32 ($8 off): This collection includes (lightly) remastered versions of the first three Metal Gear Solid games, which remain more subversive and self-assured than most games that have hit in the decades since. A few of the series classic 8-bit entries are here, too, and Konami has done well to rectify most of the sets technical issues since launch. Weve seen this price before, but it ties an all-time low. Madden NFL 25 for $43 ($27 off): Madden is in pretty dire need of a creative reset, but at the end of the day, its Madden, and it works fine enough if you just want to scratch the pro football game itch. This is the second-best price weve seen for the latest entry. EA Sports College Football 25 for $43 ($27 off): If youre more of a college sports fan, EA brought back the series formerly known as NCAA Football back from an 11-year hiatus this past summer, and it generally received higher marks than its pro counterpart. This discount is the largest weve seen since launch. WWE 2K24 for $30 ($30 off): If you prefer powerbombs and Hell in a Cell matches to touchdowns and bowl games, the latest WWE 2K game is also down to the best price weve seen (for a console copy, that is). Its a 2K game, so therell be some bugs, but it received solid reviews at launch something we cannot say for Cody Rhodes neck tattoo. Keep in mind that this game is available for free with a PlayStation Plus subscription during October, so theres no need to buy if you plan on keeping that service for a while.
