I get to test the coolest new tech products before anyone else, and I basically get paid to nerd out over the latest noise-cancelling headphones, smart glasses, and laptops. On a more depressing note, all year long, I've been reporting on endless price hikes, but now that Prime Day 2026 has begun, I can finally write about price drops.So, every day this week, I'm sharing all of the best Prime Day tech deals. Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs until Friday, June 26 at 2:59 a.m. ET, and the Mashable shopping team will be providing round-the-clock coverage until the final minutes. Only the best deals — the ones I'd recommend to friends and family or shop myself — end up on this page. SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2026: Live updates on Apple, Samsung, DJI, Kindle, and more Amazon deals Don't forget that the Mashable shopping team doesn't just pick random deals. We use price tracking tools to separate the great deals from the pretenders. We also check competing sales at sites like Best Buy, Dyson, and Target to make sure we're directing you to the lowest price at any given time. So, with all this in mind, here are my favorite Prime Day tech deals of 2026. I've personally tested many of these products, but I'm also leaning on recommendations from our tech and shopping teams.Record-low prices on the latest Apple WatchesThe latest generation of Apple Watches offered some big upgrades, and Prime Day has delivered the best-ever deal on the Apple Watch Series 11. This smartwatch has a longer battery and other key upgrades over its predecessor, and our reviewer named it a Mashable Choice product. However, if you want to go all-out on the new Apple Watch Ultra 3, this premier fitness and sleep-tracking smartwatch is also on sale at an all-time low price.

On day one of Prime Day, you can save 50% on the Bose QuietComfort noise-cancelling headphones. While the brand's flagship QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) headphones are only $70 off, you can save big on some of the brand's other audio products.

For Prime Day, you can buy Kindle e-readers starting at $84.99, and the Kindle Paperwhite — our most-recommended Kindle and the one I use personally — is back to its record-low price of $124.99.

If you've been waiting for Prime Day to buy this Apple laptop, then I have good news and bad news. The good news is it's on sale for $949. The bad news: Over Memorial Day Weekend, we saw prices drop to $899, but so far, Prime Day hasn't matched that offer. So, if you can wait a little longer, you can hope for a further price drop later in the week, but don't count on it. Thanks, RAMageddon.

I've got you.I never travel without my Anker Prime GaN USB-C wall charger, which can charge my laptop, my phone, and my earbuds at the same time. If that seems like overkill, you can also grab Anker's most adorable wall charger with a built-in display for just $25.99 this Prime Day. Fair warning — the latter is almost sold out.

Get Deal The best Apple AirPods dealsWe were hoping to see slightly better Prime Day deals on AirPods, and prices could still go lower on the AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. But we can recommend shopping the AirPods Max 2 headphones and AirPods 4 at the current prices. The AirPods Max 2 have never been this cheap, though there is a slight chance the AirPods 4 will get another price drop later in the week.

Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds $99 at Amazon $129 Save $30   Get Deal Restock on memory productsThanks to the global memory shortage, prices on SD cards, hard drives, and memory components have doubled, tripled, and quadrupled in 2026, with no end in sight. While deals on MicroSD cards and portable SSDs used to be a staple of Amazon sales, that's less true of late. Still, you can find some good deals on memory products at Amazon.If you need a new MicroSD Express card for your Switch 2, a Samsung card is at its lowest price in months. And if you need a regular MicroSD card, you can pick up a 1TB Samsung card for $80 off. This is the first time that particular drive has gotten a discount.

For creators, campers, and anyone with a safety-first mindset, these popular orange power stations keep you powered on when everyone else is off-grid. The best Prime Day tech deals always include massive savings on power stations, and this is my top pick of the sale so far. Opens in a new window Credit: Jackery Jackery Explorer v2 Power Station, 1070Wh $399.99 at Amazon $799 Save $399.01   Get Deal Bose Soundlink Flex speakersBose has discounted its popular Soundlink Bluetooth speaker by as much as 34%. I've personally tested this line of speakers, and I can vouch for them being loud, highly portable, and easy to use. Plus, they come in a wide range of colors. That doesn't affect the sound, obviously, but it's a nice touch.

For Prime Day 2026, you can get these cult-favorite, ultra-thin TVs on sale at Amazon for their lowest-ever price. And if you want to splurge on a Samsung OLED TV instead, you can grab the brand's award-winning S90F OLED 65-inch TV for 29% off its list price.Please note: As of this writing, this Amazon listing incorrectly displays a picture of the more expensive The Frame Pro model. Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung The Frame 55-inch QLED Art TV (2025) $697.99 at Amazon $1,097.99 Save $400   Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung S90F 65-inch OLED 4K TV $1,197.99 at Amazon $1,697.99 Save $500   Get Deal Best Prime Day TV deals under $500If a premium Samsung OLED TV isn't in your budget, I feel you. It's not in mine at the moment, either. However, despite all the price hikes we've seen in 2026, prices on 55- and 65-inch TVs keep getting lower, and not just during big sales like this.For Prime Day 2026, grab the new Amazon Ember 55-inch 4-Series Fire TV, which comes with Amazon's new art mode. You can also score an insane price on the Hisense 65-inch E6 Series QLED 4K Fire TV. Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Ember 55-inch 4-Series Fire TV $279.95 at Amazon $459.99 Save $180.04   Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Hisense Hisense 65-inch E6 Series QLED 4K Fire TV $379.99 at Amazon $478 Save $98.01   Get Deal 50% off Fire TV Stick DealsThe best Prime Day tech deals always include savings on the Fire TV streaming sticks, which start at just $15.99 this year. If you're not ready to buy a new smart TV, then upgrade your older model TV with these streaming sticks. During the Amazon sale, these devices are on sale for up to 54% off.

So, if you want to enjoy Sony's premium sound and best-in-class active noise cancellation, you can pick up these headphones for under $200. You can also grab the recently released XM6 wireless earbuds for their lowest price ever.

Some of the best Google Pixel Prime Day deals are one-day only, like this offer on the Google Pixel Buds A-Series. If you prefer buds with a little more panache, check out the CMF Buds Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds from trendy British brand Nothing.

All the new stuff should come via Gemini, which is also available on the excellent Galaxy Watch 8. Grab this Mashable-tested Android smartwatch while it's 38% off. Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 $218.49 at Amazon $349.99 Save $131.50   Get Deal Fitness tracker dealsRight now, the Oura Ring 4 is available at unprecedented prices, with select sizes starting at just $214. (Remember, if you're not sure of your size, order the Oura Ring sizing kit first.) However, this smart ring isn't the only screen-free fitness tracker we love. You can also grab the Mashable-tested Whoop MG fitness tracker for its best-ever price, and during Prime Day, your purchase includes a 12-month Whoop membership, too.

However, I do have two compelling options for you, including one with an RTX 5070 GPU. Typically, Amazon doesn't have the best laptop deals, but both of these offers come from Prime-land.First, we have the Acer Nitro V 16S Gaming Laptop, which is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, and plenty of RAM and storage. This is a more-than-capable laptop for gamers that don't want to mess around with building a PC. And if you want something with even more power, check out the ASUS ROG Strix G16 Gaming Laptop. Opens in a new window Credit: Acer Acer Nitro V 16S Gaming Laptop (AMD Ryzen 7, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,099.99 at Amazon $1,399.99 Save $300   Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Asus ASUS ROG Strix G16 Gaming Laptop (Intel Core Ultra 9, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $2,099.99 at Amazon $2,590 Save $490.01   Get Deal DJI creator tools on saleMashable readers and reviewers alike appreciate DJI's cult-favorite creator tools. The brand makes some of the most popular gadgets for professional content creators, and no DJI products are more popular than the TikTok-famous DJI Mic Mini and DJI Osmo Pocket 3 gimbal camera. I've personally tested both of these devices for Mashable, and their reputation is well-deserved. Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case) $79 at Amazon $99 Save $20   Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Gimbal Camera $378 at Amazon $499 Save $121   Get Deal SEE ALSO: The creator-approved Prime Day deals worth hitting 'add to cart' on Top Dyson dealsFor the best Prime Day Dyson deals, we actually recommend skipping Amazon altogether. Dyson is hosting a very competitive sale at its online store, where you can find our favorite Dyson products at the lowest prices we've seen. If you've always wanted a fancy Dyson stick vacuum with the laser attachment, grab the V12 Detect Slim for $250 off. I'm also a huge fan of the original Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, which I've relied on for years to get the perfect coif. This week, you can pick it up with three attachments for $279.99. Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Stick Vacuum $479.99 at Dyson $729.99 Save $250   Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer $279.99 at Dyson $399.99 Save $120   Get Deal Deals on Apple AirTags 1 and 2The best Prime Day tech deals always include offers on AirTags, and the recently released AirTag 2 just got its first-ever discount, though it's not a very big one. Still, you can grab these long-range trackers for $24 (or $89 for a 4-pack). If you really want to save, then head to Amazon-associated retailer Woot, where you can score a four-pack of the original AirTags 1 for $69.99 while supplies last, which they won't. Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirTag 2 tracker $24 at Amazon $29 Save $5   Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirTag 2 (4-pack) $89 at Amazon $99 Save $10   Get Deal Blink Mini cameras starting at $9.99, somehowLooking for Prime Day deals under $25? You can't do much better than this Blink Mini indoor security camera for just $9.99. That's so cheap we have to wonder if Amazon is selling it as a loss, or if the company has achieved Apple Tim Cook levels of supply chain wizardry. Either way, you can grab this Amazon brand's security cameras to protect your home inside and out. Opens in a new window Credit: Blink Blink Mini $9.99 at Amazon $24.99 Save $15.00   Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Blink Blink Outdoor 4 camera $27.99 at Amazon $79.99 Save $52   Get Deal DJI drone dealsBecause DJI drones have been officially banned in the United States, you can only buy these popular drones from third-party sellers on Amazon. However, if you're willing to risk it, you can score some great deals on these drones, which have professional-quality cameras but controls that are simple enough for beginners. Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Mini 3 Drone $269 at Amazon $419 Save $150   Get Deal Prime Day deals on smart glassesSo far this year, smart glasses have been one of my top testing priorities. I've tried some of the latest smart glasses from Xreal, Meta, TCL RayNeo, Viture Beast, and Even Realities. Some of my favorite augmented reality glasses are at never-before-seen prices. The TCL RayNeo Air 4 Pro AR glasses are like an OLED TV you can take with you anywhere, and it's by far the most affordable entry point if you're curious about this technology. However, you can also score the new Xreal 1S AR Glasses for $399. My advice? If you want to use AR glasses for entertainment, go with the TCL RayNeo. If you want to be able to work and play, go with Xreal, as they're better for getting work done. Opens in a new window Credit: TCL TCL RayNeo Air 4 Pro Augmented Reality Glasses $239.20 $299 Save $59.80 Lowest-price ever Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Xreal Xreal 1S AR Glasses $399 at Amazon $529 Save $130   Get Deal Theragun Relief by TherabodyThe massage gun craze has died down, but these percussive massagers are still beloved by athletes at all levels.

Opens in a new window Credit: Therabody Theragun Relief $96.50 at Amazon $159.99 Save $63.49   Get Deal A power station with a bonus solar panelWhen you add solar panels to a portable power station, you transform these devices into eco-friendly generators. For backyard powerups or RV camping, this Mashable-tested Anker power station is one of our favorites, and during Prime Day, you can bundle it with a foldable 400W solar panel.

But absent a compelling offer from Nintendo, this is the best Prime Day video game deal of the moment. This bundle lets you choose between three popular titles to bundle with the console. Remember: The Switch 2 is getting a price hike later this year, so don't miss your chance to save. Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game Bundle $499 at Amazon   Learn More Shark's personal fanMy colleague, Samantha Mangino, tested the Shark ChillPill and found that it's a great little device, but a little too expensive to recommend at full price. During Prime Day, the ChillPill has gotten a slight discount of $20, knocking the price down to $129.99, the lowest price we've seen to date. Shark ChillPill $129.99 at Amazon $149.99 Save $20   Get Deal at Amazon Amazon Echo Show 11Amazon devices always get big discounts during the retailer's sales events.

This mid-range phone has all of Google's latest AI bells and whistles, and enough camera and processing power to get the job done. Read our full Pixel 10a review if you need more info, or go ahead and pick up this handset while it's on sale.

Senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart has tested several LED masks, and recommends these two record-low Prime Day deals: The iRestore Illumina eye mask is a super convenient, budget-friendly way to target the undereye or crow's feet area, and the new Dreame Chrona mask is a rare affordable wireless option. iRestore Illumina Eye Mask $199.99 at Amazon $249.99 Save $50   Get Deal at Amazon Dreame Chrona LED Mask $209.99 at Amazon $249.99 Save $40   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Dreame Canon's portable photo printerMy colleague, Miller Kern, has a Canon Ivy 2 and loves it. It's awesome for printing out photos that would otherwise be buried in your camera roll, and it's an essential for junk journaling. The mini printer uses ZINK peel-and-stick paper, so you can stick photos directly onto your journal pages or scrapbook spreads. And the images are actually pretty high-quality.

'The Only Way to Keep Bungie Alive Is to Support Marathon,' Ex-Destiny Community Manager Says - IGN

As Destiny 2 fans mourn the game's final update, Bungie's former community manager has said its player count shouldn't be compared with that of fledgling extraction shooter Marathon — insisting the company's current issues began long before its arrival, as well as Sony's acquisition. Since Marathon debuted in March, and particularly since Bungie announced it was ending development of new Destiny 2 content, fans have continually compared the numbers of players in each game — and scrutinized Marathon's lower player count in particular.
