The Amazon Echo Spot has been discounted to $45 for Prime Day

Engadget09-07-2025
Prime Day 2025 is basically here, and the sales are abundant. There's deals on some of our favorite products, like the TP-Link Deco AXE5400 WI-Fi mesh router system and the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Now, another Amazon device is on sale: the Echo Spot.
Currently, you can get the Amazon Echo Spot for $45, down from $80. The 44 percent discount brings the smart alarm clock to a new all-time low. The deal is available on each of the color options, Black, Glacier White and Ocean Blue.
Get it now for 44 percent off. $45 at Amazon
Amazon launched the new Echo Spot in 2024, five years after it canned an initial iteration. It's not too different than its predecessor, though its front is split between a screen and a speaker. Amazon also got rid of its camera, which made some people uncomfortable for a bedside table device. Of course, it offers Alexa integration so you can use the voice assistant for everything from getting the time to playing music. That includes controlling smart home devices as well, and you can even pick up the Echo Spot bundled with an Amazon Basics smart light bulb for an extra $5.
Elsewhere in the Amazon devices ecosystem, more smart speakers have received discounts. The Echo Pop is 45 percent off and down to $22 for Prime members, and the Echo Show 5 is 33 percent off and down to $60. Neither of those are record-low prices, but they are some of the best discounts we've seen in 2025 so far.

Google Pixel 9a just got biggest all-time price drop on Amazon — now under $400

After I've reviewed the Pixel 9a earlier this, it made me wonder why Google continued to offer the Pixel 9. Now thanks to Amazon, I can reiterate that you're better off buying the Pixel 9a because it's down to its all-time lowest price. For a limited time, Amazon's offer a $100 off instant discount on the Pixel 9a — effectively bringing its price from $499 to $399. Even though it calculates to about a 20% off discount, the cost is so much better than the $799 cost of the Pixel 9. That's a difference of $400 between the two phones, which is pretty substantial. One of the best cheap phones is now down to its lowest ever price, with $50 off the list price. Best of all, this is unlocked, which means you won't be stuck on a specific carrier if you don't want to be. All to let you enjoy great cameras, solid battery life and access to some of the best AI phone features around for less. When you look at the side-by-side specs of the Pixel 9a vs. Pixel 9 below, you'll see how they share a lot of things in common. From leveraging the Tensor G4 chip, to their displays, these two phones pack almost the same hardware. Given the price margin between the two right now, there's a lot more incentive to go with the Pixel 9a. They both feature 6.3-inch Actua Displays. While they have the same sharp details, the Pixel 9a in my testing has the brighter display — making it much more suitable outdoors with the sun out. In fact, the Pixel 9a achieves a peak brightness of 2,076 nits while the Pixel 9 comes up a little short at 1,769 nits. You won't notice the difference indoors, but you'll certainly see it outside while trying to watch videos. Pixel 9a Pixel 9 Display 6.3-inch Actua pOLED (2424 x 1080) 6.3-inch (1080 x 2424) OLED Refresh rate 60-120Hz 60-120Hz Chipset Tensor G4 Tensor G4 RAM 8GB 12GB Storage 128GB, 256GB 128GB, 256GB Rear cameras 48MP (f/1.7) main, 13MP (f/2.2) ultrawide 50MP main (f/1.68), 48MP ultrawide (f/1.7) Front camera 13MP (f/2.2) 10.5MP (f/2.0) Battery size 5,100 mAh 4,700 mAh Charging speed 23W wired 27W wired Size 6.1 x 2.9 x 0.4 inches 6.02 x 2.83 x 0.33 inches Weight 6.6 ounces 6.98 oz Battery life is also another area where the Pixel 9 excels in because it actually comes close to matching the more expensive Pixel 9. In our testing, the Pixel 9a averaged 13 hours and 8 minutes — while the Pixel 9 averaged 13 hours and 18 minutes running the same test. I also like the camera setup of the Pixel 9a, which has a flush design that makes the phone's chassis uniformly the same. At the same time, it has a lot of the Pixel 9's camera features, like Magic Editor, Auto Frame, Reimagine, Photo Unblur, and Pixel Studio. For the $400 difference, you should absolutely get the Pixel 9a over the Pixel. It simply makes the best cheap phone around even cheaper to own. And lastly, you should know that the Pixel 10 is tipped to be announced at the next Made by Google event on August 10. That's just another reason why you shouldn't be getting the Pixel 9.

Anker Clears Out Its 13-in-1 USB-C Docking Station at an All-Time Low, Time to Clean Up Your Cable Chaos

Laptops are a huge help when it comes to working, because you can do it anywhere. Sure, that means you can work while commuting or at a temporary desk, and we respect that, but it also means you can work on your couch, or even in bed. Freedom is everything here, but sometimes you need a little bit more than your laptop can actually give you. In those times, it pays to have access to a good docking station, and you can currently get an amazing Anker 13-In-1 Docking Station for just $140, which is 30% off. That's a big discount, but it's also one that's not going to last forever, so if you are looking to boost the abilities of your laptop, act fast. See at Amazon A laptop dock allows you to just hook more things up to your laptop. Sometimes this is going to be more peripherals, sure, but a lot of the time it can be extra monitors as well. This can make it a lot easier to show off work, or even treat your laptop more like a PC at home if that's the kind of setup you have going on. Convenience is important, and a good laptop docking station is a huge deal on that front, and Anker is one of the best companies going on this front. This particular dock goes into a USB-C port and turns it into USB-A ports, HDMI ports, SD slots, audio slots, an Ethernet port, and USB-C ports as well. This makes it really easy to have everything running through the dock itself instead of your laptop, and that makes it way easier to treat your laptop like a portable core for your whole working life. You can even charge devices using it, but the fact that you can output visuals to up to three monitors at once is where it really shines, because it can allow you to show off specific work as you need to. It's just a really helpful device to have for creatives, freelancers, or just those who do a lot of travelling and project work. This beast of a docking station would normally cost you $200, so being able to get it for $60 is amazing. This 30% discount isn't likely to last for very long though, so you'd better be quick if you want to secure one before it expires and you have to pay full price. See at Amazon

Starting at Just $449, Apple's Latest M3 iPad Air Just Hit Its Lowest-Ever Price

It might be the latest model, but Apple's iPad Air M3 is often the subject of a discount at various retailers. But this current round of deals slashes it to its lowest price yet -- and we don't expect it to go much lower any time soon. Amazon is now offering the entry-level 128GB 11-inch M3 iPad Air for just $449, down from the usual $599. That's a respectable $150 discount, as long as you choose the space gray variant. Other colors are discounted but not as significantly on Amazon. Need a bigger display? The same $150 discount applies to the 13-inch model as well, with three of the four color variants on sale. Both Walmart and Best Buy are currently matching Amazon's prices, too and they have all color variants marked down. The latest iPad Air comes with the fast M3 chip, so it won't struggle to play all the latest games or run the most capable apps. It features a gorgeous Liquid Retina display in 11- and 13-inch size options, just like the eye-wateringly priced M4 iPad Pro. Other specs worth noting include fast Wi-Fi 6E support for streaming content and downloading apps, while storage options go all the way to 1TB for packrats. To learn more, check out our full review of the iPad Air M3. Need to take your iPad on the road? Models with cellular connectivity are also offered, again with a $50 discount. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Why this deal matters This is the best iPad Air that Apple has ever made, and it's a very viable alternative to the iPad Pro for people who want a great tablet without spending laptop-like sums of cash. It comes in multiple colors and will be a great tablet for years to come.
