Let's get stuck into the highlights so far. The best Prime Day tech deals Amazon Smart Plug $13 $24.99 Save 48% You can plug any device into the Amazon Smart Plug to make it smart so that you can control the device in person with your voice or remotely with the app.
Apple AirPods Pro 3 $179 $249 Save 28% The AirPods Pro 3 offer improved noise cancellation, a built-in heart rate sensor for workouts, and support for Apple's new Live Translation feature. Though the earbuds' revised shape could be an issue for some ears, these are Apple's most impressive AirPods so far. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Now redesigned as a sort of in-between foldable for Samsung's lineup, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 features a smaller, more passport-like form that makes it an excellent ereader and a great fit for watching movies.
Its lower price point, longer battery life, and brighter display improve upon the previous generation. TCL 55-inch QM6K QLED 4K TV TCL's QM6K is the brand's entry-level Mini LED model. It offers great performance for its class, making it one of the best values out there for people who want a budget TV that doesn't sacrifice image quality.
Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus Ring's Floodlight Cam Wired Plus combines the standard Spotlight Cam with a set of motion-activated floodlights for better lighting. The camera itself streams and records at 1080p resolution and is also motion-activated, and it includes a siren and two-way talk. Ring Wired Doorbell 2K $40 $80 Save 50% If video quality isn't your top priority, Ring makes the best smart doorbells you can find.
The 2K model has a clunkier overall footprint and a less polished appearance than the 4K, but its doorbell performance and in-app experience are just as good. Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro, 2024) $499 $599 Save 17% The seventh-generation iPad Mini runs on Apple's A17 Pro processor, which spun the wheels in the iPhone 15 Pro models. It's compatible with Apple Intelligence and supports the Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C).
Apple iPad Air M4 (11-inch, 2026) $649 $749 Save 13% Apple's latest iPad Air uses the company's M4 processor and boasts more memory, enabling better performance for creative tasks and AI tools.

They offer both active noise canceling (ANC) and transparency modes, making them a versatile option for any situation.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select The Fire TV Stick 4K Select is Amazon's entry-level 4K streaming device. It supports 4K HDR streaming, just like the standard Fire TV Stick 4K, but it lacks Dolby Vision and has less memory. All very forgivable omissions when it's on sale with dramatic discounts.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is a good fit for 4K TV owners. It supports a higher resolution than the cheaper Fire TV Stick HD and offers Dolby Vision support, which the Fire TV Stick 4K Select lacks. However, its processor isn't as fast as the 4K Max's.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max This is Amazon's top streaming stick. With its powerful processor and GPU, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the fastest streaming device in its price range and now supports console-free Xbox gaming via Game Pass.

Amazon Kindle (2024) $104 $150 Save 31% Though it may not look very different from older models, this Kindle offers faster performance and higher contrast, improving on earlier models.
Very few corners have been cut, really, as it also has an illuminated screen, and the resolution has come a long way from the earlier cheap Kindles. No waterproofing makes the Paperwhite a better buy when on sale, but the entry-level model is still an excellent e-reader, and it fits inside pockets much more easily than its fancier sibling. Also available in Matcha green.
Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) Now with better sound and a faster processor, the latest Echo Show 5 is a tiny smart display that you can use for listening to music, keeping an eye on your home, and more. Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) Amazon’s fifth-generation Echo Dot offers improved sound quality over previous models, along with a temperature sensor and Eero WiFi extender capabilities. Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Earbuds The Powerbeats Pro 2 are excellent fitness earbuds with secure ear hooks, great sound quality, and built-in heart rate monitoring.
They also deliver solid noise-canceling and use the same H2 chip found on the latest AirPods. Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm) $199 $249 Save 20% The Apple Watch SE 3 marks the most capable generation of the brand's budget smartwatch yet. It now comes powered by the S10 chip, with better battery life, and an always-on display.

Vivianly Transparent Stiletto Heel If you haven't heard about the miracle of clear heels, allow me to educate you.

But clear heels are the holy grail of making your legs look like they go on for days. Dream Paris Chunky Low Heel Pump Sandals These Dream Paris sandals have a whopping 24K reviews and four stars on Amazon. We put them to the test ourselves and agree with all the rave reviews about their comfort and walkability — and the best part is that they're under $40.
Crocs Brooklyn Heel These versatile heels take you from a walking tour to a dinner reservation.
