LG C3 65-inch OLED TV: was $2,499.99 now $1,396.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
I reviewed the LG C3 when it came out last year, as well as the LG C4 this year, and I can tell you that while the new model is a clear step up in brightness and image punch, the LG C3 for this price is no slouch.

This is the lowest price it’s been at this size, and it doesn’t matter that it’s an older TV because it was so future-proofed already, with four HDMI 2.1 ports for gaming, great image processing, and a good smart TV platform.

I think anyone who wants a truly premium TV for a great value will be happy with the LG C3 – Al Griffin, Senior Editor, Home Entertainment

Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED 43-inch4K TV: was $449 now $299.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
When I tested the Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED, I was at first skeptical. It promised a lot of features for a price that seemed too good to be true. Happily, I was proven wrong.

It delivered bright colors and natural textures, even supporting Dolby Vision (a rarity at this price). Not to mention, I found gaming to be a blast on it, even if it lacks some of the features we look for in gaming TVs like 120Hz refresh rate. 

What’s great news is the Omni QLED already delivers brilliant value across its wide range of sizes, but Prime Day has made it even more affordable – in fact, it’s the lowest price it’s ever been – James Davidson, TV Hardware Staff Writer

Hisense 65-inch U7N 4K mini-LED TV: was $1,099.99 now $748 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
One of 2024’s more surprising TVs, the Hisense U7N is value personified. Testing the U7N, I was impressed at how it performed and what it offered at such an affordable price.

Utilizing mini-LED tech, the U7N demonstrated rich contrast and exceptional details, especially when given HDR sources. It’s stacked with gaming features as well. It’s easily one of 2024’s breakout TVs and one I thoroughly enjoyed putting through its paces – even holding its own against a more premium mini-LED TV. 

It may not be the best TV on the market, but in terms of price vs performance, it’s a top contender. And this deal means you can get it in a 65-inch size for a price that won’t break the bank – James Davidson, TV Hardware Staff Writer

Samsung HW-Q800C 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar: was $997.99 now $569 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
I’m a big fan of Samsung’s soundbars, as are the rest of the AV team on TechRadar, because they give you such great power and precision for a thoroughly reasonable price, and that’s exactly what you’re getting here. Every time I try soundbars like the Q800C (or Q990D, as I did recently), I like them more.

In our review, we called this a “phenomenally powerful multi-channel speaker system capable of unlocking the joys of a good movie soundtrack” – and you can even upgrade it with rear speakers in the future, if you want even more of that.

If you’ve got a big TV and you want big, high-quality sound to match it, this is very hard to beat for under $1,000 – Matt Bolton, Managing Editor, Entertainment

Fire TV Stick 4K Max: was $59.99 now $34.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
I believe in making use of older tech for as long as possible, and the secondary TV in my house used to be my main TV until I moved it upstairs when I upgraded a few years ago. But despite being 4K HDR, its smart TV platform isn’t really holding up any more… but no need to replace it! I just added a streaming stick, and suddenly I’m back up to date.

I recommend the Fire TV Stick 4K Max because it’s one of the easier-to-use platforms, the voice control works well, and this Max version has a more powerful chip to avoid the slow-downs that Fire TV has been occasionally prone to, as well as supporting every flavor of HDR and Dolby Atmos – Matt Bolton, Managing Editor, Entertainment

Apple MacBook Air M1: was $999 now $699 at Walmart

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
It’s getting a little old now, but the MacBook Air M1 is still a fantastic choice if you’re looking for a fast and light laptop with great battery life – particularly at this price.

I’ve owned one myself for four years and have never regretted buying it. In TechRadar’s review, Matt Hanson, our Managing Editor, Core Tech, said “in my time with the MacBook Air M1 I was incredibly impressed with how it performed”, and I’d agree with every word.

It’s been as low as $749 previously, but this remains a fantastic deal, expecially given that it could be the last chance to pick one up now that it’s officially discontinued – Marc McLaren, Global Editor in Chief

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 16-inch: was $1,749.99 now $1,299.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
You know it’s a good sign when the biggest criticism our reviewer has is that the laptop looks a bit too much like a MacBook. Yes, the latest Samsung Galaxy Book is a gorgeous (if a little derivative) piece of kit, equipped with the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU and an absolutely stunning AMOLED display.

Not content with just a powerful processor and fantastic screen, Samsung has also given this beauty a phenomenal all-day battery life, capable of handling more than 14 hours of video playbook. As our reviewer Jeremy notes: “It also supports touch input. Apple simply can’t compete”
Christian Guyton, Computing Editor

Apple Mac mini with M2: was $599 now $499 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 5/5
“Forget Windows 11, this is the best PC you can buy.” That’s the tagline for my boss Matt Hanson’s review of the 2023 Mac mini, and even as a long-serving Apple skeptic, I truly can’t disagree.

The M2 chip is a beast, bringing this compact computer performance its similarly sized rivals could only dream of. And it really is tiny – small enough to tuck away out of sight behind your monitor, though you won’t be able to reach the (surprisingly ample) port selection if you do that.

With Apple lowering the entry price for the Mac mini with this iteration and a further $100 slashed off for Prime Day, this is literally the best desktop computer you can buy right now. Don’t debate me on this – Christian Guyton, Computing Editor

Razer Blade 15: was $2,799.99 now $1,789.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
Once you’ve seen one Razer Blade review, you’ve seen them all, as the saying (probably) goes. Yes, Razer’s signature gaming laptop line consistently puts out incredible hardware, but it’s all got the same problem: it’s too gosh-darned expensive!

“The price is as eye-watering as ever,” wrote reviewer (and my American mirror image) John Loeffler. But he had to admit that “it’s one of the best 15-inch laptops money can buy”, going on to praise the performance and design, even calling it “the MacBook of gaming laptops.”

At a huge $1,010 discount, I’m very happy to say that this updated model of the Blade 15 – packing the mighty RTX 4070 graphics card from Nvidia – is finally an awesome deal. Also featuring a 13th-gen Intel CPU and a durable metal chassis, it’s as future-proofed a gaming laptop as anyone needs to buy right now – Christian Guyton, Computing Editor

LG Gram 17: was $1,999.99 now $1,699.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
We actually haven’t reviewed the large-scale 17-inch model of the LG Gram since way back in 2021, where we called it “shockingly light” and “a productivity powerhouse”. But here’s the kicker: the design has remained almost unchanged since then, because quite frankly, LG already struck gold.

This updated model – a respectable $300 off for Prime Day despite its cutting-edge internal components – features an Intel Core i7-1360P processor, two terabytes of storage, a mighty 32GB of RAM, and even a dedicated graphics card: the Nvidia RTX 3050.

That dedicated GPU is vital for anyone who wants to use their laptop for content creation, and has the added bonus of accelerating AI workloads thanks to Nvidia’s Tensor Cores. With more and more AI features landing in Windows 11 and beyond, it’s a smart choice to nab this now – Christian Guyton, Computing Editor

Acer Swift Go 14: was $579.99 now $507 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
“A capable mid-range machine” was how reviewer Michelle Rae Uy described the Acer Swift Go 14 – and from my discussions with them behind the scenes, that’s exactly what Acer was going for.

This isn’t a laptop to shake the world: it’s designed to do its job well, and it manages to excel in a wide range of areas, from solid productivity performance to a sharp, vibrant display and long battery life.

“I didn’t experience any slowdown even when I had 20 browser tabs open with four different streaming services playing content simultaneously,” Michelle noted, an impressive feat for a mid-range laptop. If you’re not one for frills and prefer no-nonsense performance, the Swift Go 14 is a sound choice – Christian Guyton, Computing Editor

Logitech C920 Webcam: was $69.99 now $49.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
While this webcam is a few years old at this point, it’s still one of the best you can find anywhere, and with Prime Day, there’s no better time to upgrade to a 1080p model to replace your old 720p pandemic purchase.

Former computing writer Jess Weatherbed wrote in her review: “With a perfect balance of performance and affordability, the C920 offers exactly what the everyday person needs in a webcam.”

Right now, the Logitech C920 webcam is down to the lowest price we’ve seen in over a year, so there’s no better time to upgrade your WFH setup – John Loeffler, Computing Editor

Amazon Eero mesh WiFi router: was $89.99 now $69.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
With the launch of a bunch of Wi-Fi 7 routers, Wi-Fi 6 models are dropping in price, and the Amazon Eero series are among the best values out there even at full retail price.

In our review, our router guru Cliff Joseph said: “It’s not the fastest mesh system around, but the Eero 6 is an affordable Wi-Fi 6 upgrade for larger homes that have a lot of computers and smart devices.”

Right now for Prime Day, the Amazon Eero 6 Wi-Fi router is down to its lowest price ever, and it’s not likely to go much lower, so now’s a perfect time to pick one up – John Loeffler, Computing Editor

Samsung 990 Pro 4TB: was $464.99 now $291.57 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 5/5
The Samsung 990 Pro is as good a PCIe 4.0 SSD as you’re going to be able to find, and for 4TB of super-fast storage, this Prime Day price can’t be beat.

In my review, I wrote: “With solid capacities at a fair price and the fastest read/write performance of any PCIe 4.0 SSD we’ve tested, this SSD should definitely be at the top of your list if you’re looking to upgrade or do a new PC build.”

I stand by that assessment more than a year after I first reviewed it, and while this isn’t the absolute lowest price we’ve seen, it’s still an absolute bargain for under $300. If your motherboard or console storage doesn’t have a heatsink, though, be sure to select the heatsink option from the Amazon page for a few bucks more, since this SSD will run hot under heavy use – John Loeffler, Computing Editor

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless: was $349.99 now $273.95 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
When it comes to wireless gaming headsets, there are few better than the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, which boasts premium hi-fi drivers, active noise canceling, and multi-system compatibility.

Former reviews editor Michelle Rae Uy said in her review that this “is the future of gaming headsets with its multi-device-and-platform connectivity, long battery life, amazing comfort, and…excellent sound quality.”

For Prime Day, the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is just $2 above its lowest price ever, so you’ll definitely want to grab this one while you can – John Loeffler, Computing editor

Amazon Prime Day deals 2024 – Headphones & Audio

Sony WH-1000XM4: was $348 now $198 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 5/5
They’re a few years old now, but having compared them directly to the newer Sony WH-1000XM5, the difference really isn’t that big – and thanks to price cuts like this, I still think these are the best premium headphones for most people.

I love how lightweight they are, and the folding design for traveling, which the newer version dropped! And the noise cancellation and sound quality remain impressive for this kind of price. As I said in my 2024 update to our review, these “really hit the sweet spot if you can get them for our recommended prices” – and since this is their lowest price to date, you’d better believe I recommend it.

I suspect these headphones won’t be around too much longer, so don’t miss out on your chance to pick up a bargain – Matt Bolton, Managing Editor, Entertainment

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C): was $249.99 now $168.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
I still use AirPods Pro 2 every day, despite having access to some of the best earbuds on the planet, because I think their particular mix of sound quality, noise cancellation power, lightweight and comfortable design, and smart features hasn’t really been beaten. Of course, and as you might guess, I’ve got lots of Apple tech, so I get the most from them.

They’ve been beaten in individual ways by other earbuds, but as a total package that balances elements that I personally find important – including having a smaller case than the competition, for example, and better ‘Find My’ features than anything else on the planet – they remain the buds I reach for automatically.

And this is the lowest price they’ve ever been. This is for the updated version with USB-C charging, released at the end of last year – Matt Bolton, Managing Editor, Entertainment

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II: was $299 now $169.95 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 5/5
I reviewed the newer, and considerably more expensive, Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, and yet it’s these older ones that I still recommend as the best wireless earbuds for noise cancellation, and it’s all about value. The Bose Ultra do block more noise, but only a tiny amount more, and you pay a lot to get there. But these beauties still block more noise than the competition, and now do it for their cheapest ever price.

I do wish that they had Bluetooth multi-point pairing and some other mod-cons, but I can live without it for this level of silence on my train in the morning, for this kind of price.

They sound very good, of course, and stay in the ear well, though those with smaller heads may find that these chunkier buds aren’t the best fit for bijoux ears – Becky Scarrott, Audio Editor

Nothing Ear (a): was $109 now $79 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 5/5
Ah, my favorite yellow earbuds are heavily discounted, despite only being available since April 2024! And the white and black options are too, for those of a more neutral disposition. Either way, they’re my top Prime Day steal.

They got full marks under intense review, where I said that Nothing “hit a resounding home run here. The feature set, more meaningful noise cancellation, superb sound quality for the level, comfort, and longer battery life are spot on”. I actually like them more than the more expensive Nothing Ear, released at the same time, because they’re practically as good, but cheaper.

I think they’re the best earbuds you can get for anything like this kind of price, and much much better than cheaper Beats or AirPods options – Becky Scarrott, Audio Editor

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3: was $99.99 now $56.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
When the Wonderboom 3 came out, I was underwhelmed by it. We’d waiting a long time for the successor to the Wonderboom 2, and there didn’t seem to be much change for the same price, years later. But that was based on it being full price – at 41% off, I’m pretty damn positive on it!

Our review said that “between its fun design, long-lasting battery, small, light frame and outdoors mode, it’s a great companion for parties and gatherings, particularly outdoors ones” and I want to especially mention the design. UE has barely tweaked it from the original Wonderboom seven years ago, and that’s because it nailed it! It’s tough, you can grab it in one hand, it’s funky in Hyper Pink and Performance Blue color options… it’s the kind of thing that brings me a bit of joy just to snatch it up and take it outside on a beautiful day – Matt Bolton, Managing Editor, Entertainment

Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus (256GB): was $999.99 now $749.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
Samsung’s Galaxy Plus phones rarely prove better value for money than their standard or Ultra counterparts, but the Galaxy S24 Plus bucks that trend and then some.

This phone’s display is objectively better than the one you’ll find on the Galaxy S24, and it doesn’t lose out on the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s suite of Galaxy AI features, either. It benefits from the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset as its premium sibling, too, as well as having comparable battery life.

In my review, I described the Galaxy S24 Plus as “one of the best AI phones,” and at $749.99 at Amazon right now, it’s never offered better value for money – Axel Metz, Phones Editor

OnePlus Open: was $1,699.99 now $1,299.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
If you’re in the market for a tablet-style foldable in 2024, look no further than the excellent OnePlus Open, which tops our list of the best foldable phones and is currently available for a record-low $1,299.99 at Amazon.

This Galaxy Z Fold 5 rival boasts an impressive design and market-leading cameras, and although the OnePlus Open 2 looks likely to launch towards the end of this year, we don’t think you’ll find a better price for the original OnePlus Open between now and October.

In my review, I described the OnePlus Open as “the only foldable phone that doesn’t compromise,” and while we’re still in the process of testing the Galaxy Z Fold 6, we’re confident that you won’t find a better value-for-money foldable than the OnePlus Open in 2024, even after the launch of Samsung’s newest device – Philip Berne, Senior Editor, Mobile Reviews

OnePlus 12R (128GB): was $499.99 now $349.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
OnePlus has emerged as a real premium smartphone contender in recent years, and the company’s R-series handsets often have often proven a great way to access flagship-level features at an accessible price. 

The only problem? Until this year, these R-series phones were limited to India, but that all changed with the OnePlus 12R, which launched internationally in February.

In their OnePlus 12R review, our original reviewer noted that the OnePlus 12R is basically “a OnePlus 11 with a better display, a bigger battery, a simpler camera and a lower starting price,” and given that we described the OnePlus 11 as a “flagship killer” in 2023, that’s a pretty solid endorsement. 

What’s more, the OnePlus 12R is now an even more attractive proposition thanks to Amazon’s $150 Prime Day discount, which brings its price down to a new record-low. This deal gets two thumbs up from me – Axel Metz, Phones Editor

Samsung Galaxy A35 5G (128GB): was $399.99 now $299.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 3.5/5
Despite dropping one-and-a-half stars in our Galaxy A35 review, the newly released Galaxy A35 5G earns a spot on our list of the best cheap phones for its flagship-style looks, beautiful screen and capable performance. 

Sure, it doesn’t offer the best cameras nor the fastest charging, but given its (relatively) affordable launch price, you’re still getting plenty of bang for your buck.

Indeed, our reviewer described the Galaxy A35 as “a commendable, low-cost Galaxy S24 alternative,” and having used both phones myself, I can happily confirm that assertion.

What’s more, at just $299.99 for Prime Day, the Galaxy A35 has never been a more attractive proposition. If you’re looking for a reliable, no-frills smartphone upgrade, this is a great choice in 2024 – Axel Metz, Phones Editor

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE (128GB): was $599.99 now $449.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
If you’re after something a tad more advanced than the Galaxy A35 but more affordable than the Galaxy S24, then the Galaxy S23 FE is worth considering.

I described this ‘Fan Edition’ phone as a “solid buy” and a “huge step up from other bargain phones” in my Galaxy S23 FE review, and it’s never offered better value for money than right now.

For starters, the Galaxy S23 FE offers a level of build quality that you just don’t find in this price range. It boasts a long-lasting battery, too, as well as excellent performance from a proven chipset and a host of advanced charging modes.

If you want exceptional cameras and a premium-looking design, you’ll have to spend a bit more, but at just $449.99 for Prime Day, the Galaxy S23 FE is a great mid-range alternative to the more expensive Galaxy S24 and lower-end Galaxy A35 – Philip Berne, Senior Editor, Mobile Reviews

Amazon Prime Day deals 2024 – Tablets & Kindles

Amazon Kindle Scribe: was $339.99 now $234.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 3.5/5
The Kindle Scribe is available for the lowest price I’ve ever seen. I didn’t think the Kindle Scribe did much when it first arrived, but Amazon has since added more writing capabilities, including an entire section of the Kindle Book Store that is filled with books to write in. It’s now my favorite Kindle and one of my favorite drawing tablets, especially for students and casual note-takers.

It’s the biggest Kindle screen of the bunch, and that alone makes it worth considering. I liked taking notes and doodling, and the Kindle Scribe has solid writing features that make it a unique option for students, teachers, and avid readers like me. 

For a bit more, the Kindle Scribe essentials bundle is worth the upgrade. It gives you a nice leather cover that flips up like a legal pad, as well as the Premium Pen, with its eraser tip, for a great price – Philip Berne, Senior Editor, Mobile Reviews

Apple iPad 10.9 (2022): was $349 now $299 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
There are a lot of iPad models on sale, and the one I’d buy is the reliable iPad 10.9 (2022). You can find the slightly older iPad 10.2 even cheaper, but I prefer this newer model, which has Apple’s most recent design (ie. no home button) and plenty of power. 

This is one of my favorite iPad models, and Apple didn’t bother to update this model with the latest iPad Air and iPad Pro refresh, because it’s already plenty fast. I’m a bit disappointed this iPad won’t get the Apple Intelligence features that are coming, since it lacks an Apple M1 or better processor, but maybe that’s a good thing? It’s a proven tablet, no worries about future software mucking things up. 

I especially love the color options on this tablet, as Apple returned to colorful designs with this model, and you can even find matching keyboard and case options – Philip Berne, Senior Editor, Mobile Reviews

Apple iPad mini (2021): was $499 now $379.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
I’m not joking when I say this could be your last chance to buy the iPad mini, at this lowest price ever or any price. I’ve been a fan of smaller tablets since the original Galaxy Tab, but Samsung doesn’t make small Tabs any more, and Apple hasn’t updated the iPad mini in a few years. If you want one, buy one now before they sell out. 

That doesn’t mean the iPad mini is too old. It still packs a powerful processor, even better than the iPad 10.9 (2022), and our review said this tablet has lots of power, making it an ideal (large) pocket-sized computer. Battery life was limited, of course, since this is a smaller iPad, but it’s worth the compromise to carry such a small powerhouse. 

I haven’t heard any rumors about upcoming iPad mini replacements, so grab this small tablet while you can – Philip Berne, Senior Editor, Mobile Reviews

Apple iPad Pro 13-inch (M4): was $1,299 now $1,199.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
I want this big, beastly Apple iPad Pro so badly, I’m looking at every discount with hunger. A $100 price cut on Apple’s most expensive tablet may not seem like a big deal, but Apple devices don’t get big discounts until they are years past their prime. If you want this iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) for less, you’ll take what you can get. 

Our review only confirms everything I’d assume about Apple’s new hotness. It’s big, bright, beautiful, and battery life is excellent. It’s just as thin and light as Apple brags, and it’s just as expensive as I feared. Take $100 away for Prime Day and it comes just a bit closer to my price range.

Do I need this new Apple M4 chip? I’m so curious about Apple Intelligence that I want to have the premier tablet to check out Apple’s upcoming AI. The iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) is the way to go, and at this price, it’s the cheapest it’s been since it launched – Philip Berne, Senior Editor, Mobile Reviews

Apple iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) reviewView Deal

Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2022): was $1,199 now $899.99 at Best Buy

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
Let’s be honest, I don’t really need the new Apple M4 chipset, because this iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2022) is faster than any tablet I’ve ever owned, and I’ll never push this iPad, with its Apple M2 chipset inside, past its limits. That makes this $300 price cut at Best Buy an even better choice. 

Sure, the newer iPad Pro 13-inch has the newer processor, but our review points out that this iPad Pro is certainly future proof, and Apple has confirmed that Apple Intelligence will be coming to this tablet in the future, like all Apple M1 and better devices. 

I love the mini-LED display on this tablet, which makes it bright and dynamic, as well as the amazing Apple Pencil features. This is the best discount I’ve seen on Apple’s older iPad Pro, and at this price it’s a better pick than many new iPad models – Philip Berne, Senior Editor, Mobile Reviews

OnePlus Pad: was $479.99 now $369.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
The OnePlus Pad came out of nowhere and landed at the top of my list of the best Android tablets you can buy. For most people, the OnePlus Pad’s amazing display, standout design, and easy software make it a great tablet choice at any price. With this Prime Day deal dropping the price to the lowest I’ve ever seen, I’d run to buy one if you need a bargain tablet. 

The OnePlus Pad looks great, and its unique aspect ratio makes it perfect for watching movies in landscape or reading the web in portrait mode. The matching keyboard and case only seal the deal and make it a great, simpler productivity tablet for folks who don’t want to wrestle with Samsung’s more complicated Galaxy Tab S models. 

OnePlus has announced a successor coming in the next month or so, but the OnePlus Pad is still a great tablet with performance that will last a long time. No matter what phone you have, this is a great pick at today’s price – Philip Berne, Senior Editor, Mobile Reviews

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus: was $599.99 now $419.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
Don’t be distracted by the “FE” moniker (it literally means nothing), this is a premium Galaxy tablet, and that means it’s packed with more features than you’d ever expect. I was truly impressed by this Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus, especially the design. It’s a great looking tablet, and it’s even water resistant, which means you can use it in the rain or in the pool. 

The Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus comes with a Samsung S Pen, unlike similar Apple iPad models that make you pay a lot extra for a pen. I found the Tab S9 FE Plus got great battery life, thanks to the huge cell packed behind the large display, as well as Samsung’s conservative processor that only sips power. 

It may not have raw power, but it has plenty of professional features, and if you want a cool, durable tablet for less, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus is a great choice – Philip Berne, Senior Editor, Mobile Reviews

Amazon Prime Day deals 2024 – Cameras

Nikon D780: was $2,296.96 now $1,596.95 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
Nikon is now focusing attention on its mirrorless cameras, but there’s still very much a case for Nikon DSLRs in 2024, especially when there are deals this good: Amazon has slashed $700 off the 24.5MP Nikon D780, which is its lowest-ever price.  

The D780 is Nikon’s most modern DLSR and a fantastic full-frame all-rounder, combining great image quality, a weather-proof build, superb battery life and modern autofocus skills. You’ll miss out on in-body image stabilization by opting for a DSLR over a mirrorless model like the Z6 II (also on sale for just $1,596.95 at Adorama, was $1,996.95), but having used these cameras extensively I can tell you there’s a case for both DSLR and mirrorless. 

You can also get the D780 with the 24-120mm f/4 lens for $2,096.95 at Amazon, again that $700 off. If you’re going to be buying more lenses after purchase, you’ll find DSLR lenses are cheaper than mirrorless ones, so this D780 deal could be the best pick for serious photographers – Timothy Coleman, Cameras Editor

GoPro Hero 12 Black: was $399 now $299 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
I was a little surprised when the GoPro Hero 12 Black deal popped up, after all it’s the latest flagship model by the market leader in action cameras. That hasn’t stopped GoPro knocking $100 off the price of the standard bundle.

The Hero 12 Black was only a minor update of the Hero 11 Black (for which there’s also a superb value bundle deal that was $379 and is now just $249 at Amazon), but that’s no bad thing given how good these models are. 

DJI and Insta360 are rivalling GoPro for the throne of best action camera, but the Hero 12 Black remains our top pick overall. It boasts 5.3K video, superb stabilization and horizon levelling, plus a tough build that’s waterproof and drop-proof. You won’t find a better action camera for the money in this deal – Timothy Coleman, Cameras Editor

Canon EOS R8: was $1,499 now $1,199 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
When the Canon EOS R8 was launched in April 2023, we said that you won’t find a better full-frame camera for the price. Well, $300 has been slashed off that launch price and the EOS R8 can be had for just £1,199 at Amazon on Prime Day – its lowest price yet. If you want Canon’s smallest ever full-frame camera with a lens, there’e also an excellent value 24-50mm bundle which is now just $1,349 (was $1,699). 

We weren’t particularly excited by the EOS R8 when reviewing it because there was nothing really new. It is essentially a mashup of the entry-level EOS RP and the mid-range EOS R6 II, borrowing many features from the pricier model and squeezing them into a smaller package.

On reflection, we think the EOS R8 is a fine balance of features and of value. You miss out on in-body image stabilization and the smaller battery means poorer battery life, but you get the same 24MP full-frame sensor and excellent tracking autofocus performance in what is a considerable cheaper camera. And thanks to Prime Day, it’s cheaper than ever – Timothy Coleman, Cameras Editor

Canon EOS R8 reviewView Deal

Insta360 Ace Pro was $449.99 now $349.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
What do you do to muscle in on the action camera market dominated by the big players GoPro and DJI? Do something they haven’t been able to do before, of course, and that’s what Insta360 did with its Ace Pro – the first camera of its kind to shoot 8K video.

Best-in-class video resolution isn’t the only area that Insta360 went big. The Ace Pro has a handy 2.4-inch flip-up screen and slow motion 4K video ably supported by excellent stabilization. Photo quality is particularly good, with the HDR mode capturing a wide range of detail, though video quality in low light could be better. 

Besides being a little bulky compared to rivals, it was the asking price that was the main detractor from the Ace Pro. That’s somewhat of a moot point now on Prime Day, given $100 has been slashed off the price of the Insta360 Ace Pro, which is now just $349 at Amazon. That’s a decent discount for a camera less than a year old. The Ace Pro is an impressive model given this is Insta360’s first foray into the wide angle action camera market, and holds its ground against the GoPro Hero 12 Black and DJI Osmo Action 4 – Timothy Coleman, Cameras Editor

Ninja AF150AMZ Air Fryer XL: was $159.99 now $89.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5 (based on the smaller, AF101 model)
A fantastic entry point for air frying newbies or those with smaller kitchens, the Ninja AF150 is easy to use, easy to clean, and offers fantastic results across all of its four presets and its reheating mode. It’s one I’ve recommended to friends and family, and at this price it’s a no-brainer.

It’s nice and compact while still offering a respectable 5.5qt capacity, a balance many air fryers struggle to strike.

Ninja makes some of the best air fryers on the market, and the AF150AMZ is no different, which is why we’re always excited to see these air fryers crop up in seasonal sales. That’s especially true when we’re graced with a record-low price, and one that we’ve only seen twice for this particular model – Josephine Watson, Managing Editor, Lifestyle

Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine and milk frother: was $239.95 now $167.95 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
Nespresso coffee machines are among the easiest to use, and the Vertuo Next is particularly user-friendly. Simply push a button for delicious, smooth coffee in minutes. 

The Vertuo Next is pretty much my go-to recommendation for coffee lovers who don’t love the craft, as it allows for five different cup sizes, it barely makes any mess, and makes delicious espressos and Americanos. Plus, this bundle comes with a milk frother, meaning you can also make lattes and cappuccinos. 

I’ve only seen the price for this bundle drop lower once before, which was during last year’s Christmas sales. Even then, that was only $18 cheaper, so this is a pretty tempting offer – Josephine Watson, Managing Editor, Lifestyle

iRobot Roomba Combo j9+: was $1,399 now $799 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
I’m always excited to see a discounted Roomba, given they’re not exactly budget-friendly at list price. It’s especially exciting, however, to see one of iRobot’s most recently released Roombas at its lowest-ever price; a drastic 43% discount. Better yet, the non-mopping variant, the Roomba j9 Plus is also on offer at a record-low price of $649 at Amazon.

With its impressive cleaning abilities and armed with advanced features like dirt detection so it can prioritize your dirtiest rooms, and smart scrub so that its mop can tackle hardy stains, the j9+ is a wonderfully effective and low-maintenance robovac. Best of all, it has a self-emptying dock so that it can empty itself.

You won’t find a machine this good for this much of a discount outside of Black Friday, so it’s one to watch Josephine Watson, Managing Editor, Lifestyle

Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro: was $229.99 now $149.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
The latest Ring Doorbell is heavily discounted for its first Prime Day, receiving a $60 discount that makes it a far more attractive proposition than its list price. 

Offering 1536p HD Video and improved color night vision,  the Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro iterates upon its predecessor, the Battery Doorbell Plus. We were impressed by its new features like Bird’s Eye View, which adds an aerial view to Ring’s array of surveillance features, as well as pre-roll footage (which only works fully with a Ring Protect subscription) and dual-band Wi-Fi support. Other features like Package Alerts and advanced video features are exclusive to the highest Ring Protect subscription package, unfortunately.

If you want the most premium video doorbell available at a fraction of the price, the Battery Video Doorbell Pro is a must-have – Josephine Watson, Managing Editor, Lifestyle

Xbox Wireless Controller (Carbon Black): was $59.99 now $44 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
You can’t go wrong with the official Xbox Wireless Controller if you’re after a versatile gamepad to use with with a wide variety of systems. At $44, it’s currently hovering just 9 cents above its lowest-ever price at the retailer making for one seriously good value purchase.

It offers comfortable ergonomics, premium materials, and some impressive features like impulse triggers. It’s readily compatible with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and PC, not to mention mobile. It’s even a good fit for Steam Deck and cloud gaming, so you’re covered however you play – Dashiell Wood, Hardware Writer, Gaming

TechRadar rating: 4/5
If you would prefer something much more adventurous,  then the stunning Nocturnal Vapor Special Edition Xbox Wireless Controller is for you. It’s on sale for a $16.49 discount right now, which is notable as Special Edition controllers tend not to receive that many discounts over the year. 

Every version of this controller boasts a unique design thanks to its manufacturing process, making for a one of a kind gamepad – Dashiell Wood, Hardware Writer, Gaming

Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card: was $159.99 now $123.49 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
Internal storage cards are arguably the most essential Xbox Series X or Series S accessory you can buy, on a pure utility factor alone. That’s absolutely the case here with the 1TB Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card.

Usually, such SSDs are a little too expensive to recommend. But right now, at $123.49, the card has reached a record-low price this Prime Day. That’s actually mighty impressive given the frequency of deals for the thing over the years.

I love the plug-and-play simplicity of this Seagate card. Simply pop it into the internal storage card slot on your console and after a brief initial formatting, you’re golden – Rhys Wood, Hardware Editor, Gaming

WD Black C50: was $149.99 now $117.79 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
If you’re looking to save slightly more than what’s possible with the Seagate deal, then this lowest-ever discount on the WD Black C50 should be your next port of call.

I’m a proud owner of this storage device, and it’s currently sitting in the back of my Xbox Series X, providing an extra 1TB of storage space. And I’ve rarely had to delete games since.

The WD Black C50 is impressively compact, meaning you also don’t run the risk of it snagging something in your gaming setup. Honestly, until we see potential 2TB Xbox console revisions, this card is the next best thing – Rhys Wood, Hardware Editor, Gaming

GameSir T4 Kaleid: was $41.99 now $33.59 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
The GameSir T4 Kaleid, compatible with Nintendo Switch and PC, is a controller I routinely sing the praises of. Right now, it’s matching its lowest ever price during Amazon Prime Day.

The T4 Kaleid may look gimmicky with its translucent shell and flashy RGB, but I don’t really care, because that’s an aesthetic I’m incredibly fond of.

Beyond that, though, the T4 Kaleid is packing some seriously great features. Drift-resisting Hall effect sticks, delightfully tactile micro switch face buttons and remappable rear buttons make it the best budget controller on the market today – Rhys Wood, Hardware Editor, Gaming

8BitDo Ultimate: was $69.99 now $47.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 5/5
The 8BitDo Ultimate is my favorite Nintendo Switch controller that’s designed solely for the platform. Taking the top spot on our best Nintendo Switch controllers list, it’s remained unbeaten for a number of years now.

That $47.99 discount is one hell of an offer, too, comfortably beating its previous best rate by around six bucks. With nary a deal in sight for the official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, this discount comes very easily recommended.

With Hall effect sticks, impressive 20-hour battery life and coming packaged with its own dedicated charging dock, the 8BitDo Ultimate is a fully-featured controller that easily outclasses Nintendo’s official offering – Rhys Wood, Hardware Editor, Gaming

TechRadar rating: 5/5
You’ve just seen our favorite Nintendo Switch controller; how about our favorite Nintendo Switch accessory this time instead? One that is right now enjoying its best-ever Amazon discount.

30 bucks off the stellar Nitro Deck is, quite frankly, a bargain. This special edition features a gorgeous translucent look, and several extras including swappable thumbsticks and a carry case are included in the box.

Like the GameSir T4 Kaleid and the 8BitDo Ultimate, the Nitro Deck impressively features Hall effect thumbsticks and incredibly sturdy build quality, making it an essential handheld-facing controller that almost acts like a smart suit of armor for your Switch tablet. You’ll never use those Joy-Con controllers again – Rhys Wood, Hardware Editor, Gaming

SteelSeries Alias: was $179.99 now $119 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4/5
The SteelSeries Alias is one of the best looking gaming microphones on the market and it’s a model that I would wholeheartedly recommend even before this discount to a new lowest-ever price. 

It’s the microphone that I use every day and it’s never let me down. It’s remarkably easy to set up and boasts superb audio quality right out of the box that makes perfect for chatting with friends online.

I’m also a big fan of its handy LED display, which gives you an easy way to monitor your audio levels and tells you when the mic is muted – Dashiell Wood, Hardware Writer, Gaming

SteelSeries Alias Pro: was $329.99 now $237.49 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 3/5
I reviewed the SteelSeries Alias Pro at full price and found that it was a good, but not quite outstanding, option for serious content creators. When you slash over $100 off its asking price, however, it becomes a much, much better value purchase. 

This model uses a professional XLR connector and comes bundled with a useful stream mixer that functions as its DAC. This makes it a great option for those looking for an all-in-one streaming audio setup. It sounds absolutely amazing too and is more than suitable for broadcasting your play sessions or recording podcasts.

 This is a new lowest-ever price for the mic and, considering the high quality of everything on offer here, it’s not one to miss – Dashiell Wood, Hardware Writer, Gaming

TechRadar rating: 4/5
While it’s far from the newest smart ring, having been released in 2021, the Oura Ring Generation 3 still stands as an excellent smart ring.

If you’re willing to pay its monthly subscription fee, you get even more bang for your buck, with an array of features on offer such as illness prediction, an AI wellness assistant, and wellness scores).

Garmin Forerunner 265S in neo tropic and whitestone: was $449.99 now $380 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 4.5/5
Runners rejoice, because our pick for the best running watch for most people is just $10 away from being the cheapest it’s ever been.

For that price, you get an excellent watch with an AMOLED screen, recommended workouts, an arsenal of tools on the Garmin Connect app, and a Training Readiness score. 

There’s a small caveat; the best and most noteworthy deal is on the Garmin Forerunner 265S, the smaller version of the device. However, if you have smaller wrists or just want something a little more lightweight, it’s a fantastic option. There’s slightly different pricing across all the available colorways right now, so make sure to check before you check out.

Sony WH-1000XM4 noise cancelling wireless headphones on purple background with price cut sign

Sony WH-1000XM4 – now just $198 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 5/5

“You may ask yourself why a TechRadar editor is recommending headphones from 2020 still. We are mere weeks from the Sony WH-1000XM4 reaching their fourth birthday, and toddling off to kindergarten, and the new Sony WH-1000XM5 have been out for a couple of years themselves.

“As you probably noticed, prices of things have gone a bit wild in the last [checks notes], ah, four years. Most of the new headphones that have come out since then have crept steadily up in price, and haven’t always brought a drastic improvement in sound or noise cancellation quality. 

“That was the case with the Sony XM4 and the XM5 when that arrived. The XM4 is still 90% as good as the newer model, but during sales events can be found for that magic sub-$200 price, whereas the XM5 is only just now creeping under $300. And bear in mind, the XM4 were five-star, best-in-class headphones when they started! So now they’re amazing headphones that are just a little bit older.

“So under the current circumstances, I still really rate the older model as delivering the best bang for buck, as I noted in an update to our Sony WH-1000XM4 review.”

8BitDo Ultimate – now $47.99 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 5/5

“Look, if I had to recommend just one of the Nintendo Switch-compatible controllers above… it’s a tight race, but I’m giving it to the phenomenal 8BitDo Ultimate controller. It’s topped our best Nintendo Switch controllers guide for years now; not because there’s a lack of great Nintendo Switch gamepads – far from it. Simply because none have been able to match the 8BitDo Ultimate in terms of sheer quality and value.

“The 8BitDo Ultimate was one of the first Nintendo Switch controllers to put forward Hall effect thumbsticks. These differ from traditional analog sticks by effectively removing the physical friction brought about from inputs. Instead, it relies on electrical signals that completely remove the risk of stick drift brought on by wear and tear. The inclusion of a dedicated charging dock, 20 hours of battery life and all-round superb build quality certainly don’t hurt, either.

“In my original 5-star 8BitDo Ultimate controller review, I said that it ‘proves that third-party pads can match and even exceed the official options.’ This controller is the full package; it feels great to use and packs extra features, such as programmable back buttons and a charging dock.”

Amazon Prime Day lowest price on Amazon Kindle Scribe

(Image credit: Future)

Amazon Kindle Scribe – now $234.99 on Amazon

TechRadar rating: 3.5/5

“Don’t let my low review score fool you, the Kindle Scribe is a much better writing and reading tablet today than when it launched in 2022, and I’m still watching Amazon improve its big Kindle. For Amazon Prime Day, the Kindle Scribe has a great discount knocking the price down by more than $100. That makes it the lowest price I’ve seen on a Kindle Scribe. It’s also the only really great Amazon Prime Day Kindle deal I’ve seen. 

“I love the Kindle Scribe for reading, so even if you’ll never use the pen, it makes a great e-reader. The huge display is just as sharp as a smaller Kindle. It isn’t water resistant like the Kindle Paperwhite, so it’s not the best beach tablet, but it’s great for classrooms or reading and taking notes at home. 

“Unlike the reMarkable 2 writing tablet, the Kindle Scribe has a built-in backlight so you can read in the dark. I also loved the Kindle Scribe section of the Kindle Book Store, filled with journals and puzzle books that you can write in with the Scribe’s pen. Other e-readers don’t have a similar capability, because they don’t have Amazon’s book store behind them. 

“The Kindle Scribe Essentials bundle is also available now for $289.97 from Amazon, and it’s worth a look. I liked Amazon’s leather cover very much; it flips up like a legal pad and holds the pen securely. You also get the Premium Pen, with its eraser tip, for much less if you buy that bundle.”

TCL QM8 65-inch TV – now $998 at Amazon 

TechRadar rating 4.5/5

“This is a silly price for this TV. I mean, really where does TCL get off, making everyone else look bad? In my TCL QM851G review, I noted that ‘my measurements of the 75-inch TCL QM851G confirm it as the brightest TV TechRadar has ever tested, and by a sizeable margin.’ It blows the competition out of the water for HDR performance, but now it’s under $1,000? Like, I said, silly.

“And it uses this brightness to its advantage. It’s excellent for sport, but not unnatural. Watching soccer, I said in my review that ‘the skin tones of the players also looked completely natural in Movie mode, giving it a picture-quality advantage over the too-bright Vivid mode. I continued to be impressed when watching other broadcast and streamed TV channels, mainly due to the TV’s clean and crisp 4K upconversion of standard- and high-definition programs. The TCL’s bright, expansive screen even benefited old shows like Kojak, bringing its 1970s period detail to vivid life.’

“It even sounds good from its built-in speakers, which is not a guarantee from today’s TVs. I said in my review ‘Watching Dune: Part Two, the dialogue was crisp, yet natural-sounding and it projected well out into my room. Music and bass effects had a good degree of heft, and there was a distinct sense of ambiance to Dolby Atmos soundtracks.’

“Given that it’s also a next-gen gaming powerhouse, it might be the best TV for value of this year.”

Apple Mac Mini with M2 – now just $479 at Amazon

TechRadar rating: 5/5

“The Mac mini is literally the only Apple product I truly love, and if you know me (my dislike of Apple hardware is well-documented), you know that’s a big deal.

“While it didn’t enjoy a hardware refresh with the release of the M3 chip this year, last year’s M2 Mac mini is still a genuinely top-notch piece of hardware, and quite frankly the single best mini computer on the market right now. No joke; nothing else touches it.

“My boss reviewed this Mac mini (that’s Matt Hanson, Managing Editor, Core Tech) and it’s the only time I’ve ever read a five-star review of an Apple product and thought yup, that’s 100% right. From its stellar content creation performance thanks to Apple’s shockingly effective in-house silicon, to the wonderfully simple and compact design that doesn’t sacrifice physical ports, it ticks every single box.

“Apple already reduced the price of this Mac mini against the previous M1 model, but with a further reduction down to just $479 for Prime Day, I implore you: if you’ve been looking for a new system for your home office, this is the one. Go get it!

Oura Ring down to its lowest-ever price

TechRadar rating: 4/5

“Since we reviewed it in 2021, Oura hasn’t released a new device. Why would it bother with new hardware? It can use the Oura Ring Generation 3‘s existing sensors in conjunction with regular software updates, delivering new features, to create a package that’s absolutely still the best smart ring for most people (well, for anyone except Samsung users, who now have the Samsung Galaxy Ring).

“Right now at Amazon, the Oura Ring (in its Horizon style) is cheaper than ever, with a $67 discount bringing it down to $282, its lowest price ever. That’s a great deal on a great ring, and more than makes up for the $5.99/month subscription fee for the premium features. You’ll be wearing it for almost two years before you even ‘earn out’ the full price of the product. Prices vary with certain colors and materials, but the Horizon silver is the cheapest. 

“The Oura Ring is the perfect wellness tracker for people who don’t like wearing a smartwatch: a discreet little health monitor that can accurately track sleep and heart rate, detect workouts, aid in mindfulness practice and even predict when you’ll get ill. Now that smart rings have come of age, don’t skip on this rare deal.”

“It’s the microphone that I use every day and when I first reviewed it, I was very impressed with its attractive design and the recording quality that it offers. It’s a no-brainer with this $60 discount, which takes it down to a new lowest-ever price.

“Samsung’s Galaxy Plus phones rarely prove better value for money than their standard or Ultra counterparts, but having reviewed the latest Plus model myself, I can safely say that the Galaxy S24 Plus bucks that trend and then some.

“This phone’s display is objectively better than the one you’ll find on the Galaxy S24, and it doesn’t lose out on the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s suite of Galaxy AI features, either. It benefits from the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset as its premium sibling, too, as well as comparable battery life – all, of course, for a significantly lower price.

“In my review, I described the Galaxy S24 Plus as ‘one of the best AI phones,’ and at $749.99 at Amazon right now, it’s never offered better value for money.”
