We went through thousands of tech deals and these are the best Amazon Prime Day deals under $50

Posted on by

On the second day of Amazon's Prime Day sale, the deals on smaller gadgets and accessories are still going strong. In fact, as I was checking to make sure these deals were still live, I noted about five on the list that dropped a few dollars cheaper than they were yesterday. As a reminder, this list represents the best of the affordable tech gear that we at Engadget have tested, reviewed and know to be worth your time. Everything here is on sale for $49.99 or under to make up the best possible roundup of the Prime Day tech deals you can get for under $50.

As with all Engadget tech deals coverage, we only highlight discounts on gear we've tested or have otherwise used and know to be worthy of your money. We cross-checked our guides and reviews with the Prime Day deals Amazon has put forth to come up with what you see here. And we'll update these deals roundups throughout both days of Amazon's Prime Day sale.

Some of our favorite Lego sets are at all-time low prices for Prime Day 2024

Posted on by

On day two of Amazon's Prime Day sale, we're still seeing deals on some great Lego sets. True, Legos may be slightly outside our tech purview, but an unofficial poll tells us that most people who are into gadgets also tend to love building with Bricks. A few noteworthy sets are going for up to 30 percent off for Prime Day and we rounded up a few of our favorites here. And there are plenty more Lego Prime Day deals to check out before the shopping event is over.

This Star Wars Luke Skywalker's X-Wing Fighter is down to $35 from its list price of $50. It's recommended for builders aged nine and above and has 474 pieces so it should keep you and/or (pun not intended) your kids busy for a while. The X-Wing has a retractable landing gear and a pair of spring-loaded shooters. You can convert the wings to attack position with the press of a button. The kit comes with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and General Dodonna minifigures that you can place in the cockpit, while R2-D2 has his very own spot on board.

Marvel fans may be interested in picking up an Iron Man Nano Gauntlet that's kitted out with the Infinity Stones. This set usually costs $69, but it's on sale for $49. This 765-piece kit is geared toward adult builders. It comes with a stand and descriptive tablet, so the idea is to keep this on display, perhaps in your office, living room or den. The gauntlet also has jointed fingers, so you can position them as you like (perhaps with the middle one raised in the direction of a completed Thanos build).

Lego's relatively new botanical sets are super popular as of late, and we're seeing some discounts on a few of those sets. The Icons Wildflower Bouquet set is 20 percent off for Prime Day and down to a record low of $48, while the adorable Icons Tiny Plants Building set is 21 percent off and down to $40.

Finally, for car lovers out there, you can snag this Lego Technic Porsche 911 RSR race car set for $126, down from its usual $180 price.

The best anti-Prime Day deals from Walmart, Target, Best Buy and more

Posted on by

On day two of Amazon's sale, many other retailers have gotten into the deals frenzy with sales of their own. Places like Walmart, Target, B&H Photo, Best Buy and more are hosting some great deals. It's also the first day of PlayStation's Summer Sale, so if you need some more games for your PS4 or 5, this is a good time to snag a few. Brands including Sonos, Lego, and Sony are hosting promotions too. If you’ve exhausted our main Prime Day coverage and are looking for more — or if you’d simply rather not shop at Amazon — check out the best anti-Prime Day deals we could find below.

As with all Engadget tech deals coverage, we almost exclusively highlight discounts on gear we've tested or have otherwise used and know to be worthy of your money. We cross-checked our guides and reviews with the anti-Prime Day deals other retailers have put forth to come up with what you see here.

A variety of brands are hosting site-wide sales of their own. Some of the deals are no different than what you’d see on a typical Tuesday, but a few of the discounts seem like they were inspired by Amazon’s giant July bonanza.

The best Amazon Prime Day phone deals include up to $325 off Samsung Galaxy S24 smartphones

Posted on by

We're seeing steep discounts for Amazon Prime Day on the latest Samsung Galaxy smartphones — the regular ones, not the Z Flip or Z Fold that were just announced. You can get a whopping $325 off the Galaxy S24 Ultra right now, which brings the final price down to a record low of $975. Prime Day phone deals have also brought all-time-low prices to the Galaxy S24 and S24+, knocking them down to $600 and $750, respectively.

Engadget’s pick for the best premium Android phone, the S24 Ultra has the best display available on a phone today: a 6.8-inch color-rich AMOLED screen with razor-sharp QHD+ resolution. In addition, this year’s model takes a page from Apple’s book by switching from an aluminum to a titanium frame, and its camera has a 5x optical zoom. It even includes an S-Pen (stylus) for more precise and versatile input.

Perhaps more intriguing than traditional phone specs is the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s suite of AI tools. The phone’s Galaxy AI features include proofreading texts, editing images, transcribing recordings and more.

The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ are also heavily discounted for as part of the Prime Day deals. Although not quite super-premium like the Ultra, these are still flagship-quality phones with the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. In addition, they carry over much of what already worked in the S23 series, including similar camera hardware and battery life.

The standard S24 models also include Samsung’s Galaxy AI suite. You can run some generative AI tools locally, and there’s an additional option to set them to never leave for phone, which is handy for privacy. Features include live translation for voice calls, a live interpreter for in-person conversations, note assist for summaries and formatting, writing assist from the keyboard and image editing.

Prime Day TV deals: Shop major discounts from LG, Samsung, TCL and more

Posted on by

Another Amazon Prime Day has begun, and the sale has brought a handful of decent TV discounts. The highlights include a roughly $250 drop for LG's C3 OLED TV, a suite of deals on Samsung's The Frame TVs and a few all-time lows on lower-cost standouts from Hisense and TCL. Both the Roku Streaming Stick 4K and Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max are also on sale for those who need a new streaming dongle. If you're looking to upgrade your living room setup, we've tossed aside the junkier deals and broken down the best Prime Day TV deals we could find below.

To be clear, Prime Day isn't the absolute best time to buy a new TV: Most TV makers released their newest sets fairly recently, and the majority of those will be cheaper as we get approach Black Friday. But if you absolutely need to upgrade today, there's still some value to be found.

Prime Day itself runs through July 17, and we'll update this post if prices change or more noteworthy deals pop up before then. Remember that you'll need to be a Prime member to access most of the discounts.

The best Amazon Prime Day TV deals still going today – save big on sets from Samsung, LG, TCL and more

Posted on by

It's the second and final day of Amazon's latest Prime Day sale, and we're still keeping track of the best TV deals the event has to offer. As expected, there's been a whole lot of junk to sift through, but the highlights include a roughly $250 drop for LG's C3 OLED TV, a $400 discount on the stylish Samsung Frame TV and a few all-time lows on well-reviewed budget sets from TCL and Hisense. If you need a new media streamer, both the Roku Streaming Stick 4K and Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max are discounted as well. 

You can find our full breakdown of the Prime Day TV discounts that are actually deals below, updated for day two of the sale. It's worth remembering that this isn't the best time to buy a new TV: Most manufacturers released their newest models fairly recently, and just about all of those will be cheaper around Black Friday. But if you must upgrade today, there's still some value to be found. We'll update this guide again if we find any more good deals before Prime Day ends tonight; just remember that you'll need to be a Prime member to access most of the discounts.

Prime Day tablet deals bring the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE down to $330

Posted on by

One of the questions I get asked the most is: What is the best affordable Android tablet? And while there aren't a lot of one-size-fits-all devices, if you just want a basic slate for shopping or browsing the news that can also double as a great shared device that lives in your living room, thanks to discounts for Amazon Prime Day, the 10.9-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE is an unquestionably good deal. 

At $330, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE is even cheaper on Amazon than it is direct from Samsung, who has it listed for $50 more. But more importantly, while the Tab S9 FE was designed to be a streamlined version of the full-fat Galaxy Tab S9, it retains a lot of the features we like about its more expensive sibling. That includes things like built-in stylus support (and a bundled S Pen), a sturdy aluminum chassis and a bright, high refresh rate display. Granted, the FE's 90Hz LCD panel isn't quite as colorful or speedy as the 120Hz OLED screen on the standard Tab S9 and it has a slower Exynos 1380 processor. But when you consider that the FE costs almost one-third the price for Prime Day, those feel like pretty reasonable trade-offs. 

Furthermore, Samsung's DeX mode gives you a dedicated desktop UI complete with a taskbar and multi-window support at the touch of a button. That means the Tab S9 FE can serve as a great portable productivity machine, especially when paired with one of Samsung's many keyboard accessories. 

That said, potential buyers should know that one thing the Tab S9 FE doesn't excel at is hardcore gaming. That's because while it's more than speedy enough for casual titles like Stardew Valley or Candy Crush, graphics can become a bit stuttery when playing more demanding shooters like Call of Duty: Mobile.

But if all you need is a versatile Android tablet for a good price, getting a Tab S9 FE for just $330 feels like a steal.

The Prime Day gaming deals we love from Amazon’s latest sale

Posted on by

The latest Prime Day sale is here, and as expected, Amazon is advertising an array of deals on video games and gaming accessories. Also as expected, most of those offers aren't all that good. So allow us to do the research for you. To help those looking to upgrade their battle station or extend their backlog, we've picked out the best Amazon Prime Day discounts on gaming gear below. 

While the selection isn’t as vast as what we’ll see around Black Friday, we’re still seeing lower-than-usual prices on well-reviewed games for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. There's also a few decent deals on gaming mice, headsets, laptops and other accessories we’ve tested and can recommend.

As a reminder, this year's Prime Day runs through July 17, and you’ll need to be a Prime member to access most of the discounts. We’ll update this roundup as prices change and new deals of note pop up. And if you have no interest at shopping at Amazon, note that some of these deals may also be available at other retailers.
