Amazon Prime Day 2024 has officially arrived. We’ve already published a detailed guide to the best Prime Day deals, but if you’re just interested in Amazon devices, this is where you’ll find the ones that are actually worthwhile. From Alexa-based Echo smart speakers to video doorbells, Amazon is discounting a wide range of gadgets, some of which are currently seeing their lowest prices to date.
Of course, the main caveat here is that you’ll have to be an active Amazon Prime member to take advantage of any and all Prime Day deals. Luckily, Amazon makes it pretty easy to sign up, especially since new members can take advantage of the exclusive discounts with a free 30-day trial.

Amazon’s new Echo Spot smart speaker / alarm clock has a 2.83-inch squared-off display for showing the time, weather, music playback, and other bits of info you may want at your bedside. Unlike the original Spot, there’s no camera to worry about having in your bedroom — though it does have a mutable microphone for Alexa voice controls.

You can also buy it with a Sengled smart bulb included in blue, black, and white for an all-time low of $26.98 ($43 off).

- You can also buy the Echo Pop in black, purple, blue, or white for $17.99 ($22 off) or with a Sengled smart bulb in black, purple, blue, and white. The semispherical speaker doesn’t sound as good as the latest Dot and lacks features like temperature sensors. Nevertheless, it still sounds decent, integrates with Alexa, and comes in multiple colors. Read our review.
The Echo Show 15 is a large wall-mounted device that acts as a shared hub for families to view upcoming calendar appointments, virtual notes, and more. The 15.6-inch device also features the same Alexa functionality as other Echo displays and smart speakers. Read our review.
- You can also pick up the fourth-gen Echo inblack, white, and blue for $54.99 ($45 off) or with a Sengled smart bulb in black, white, and blue for $56.98 ($63 off) at Amazon.

However, it delivers better sound than Amazon’s entry-level speakers and can function as a smart home hub with Zigbee support; it also includes a temperature sensor. Read our review.
A great-sounding smart speaker that sounds even better than the fourth-gen Echo and offers support for Dolby Atmos along with a slew of streaming music services. Read our review.

Developed in partnership with Resideo, the Amazon Smart Thermostat allows you to control the temperature of your home through Alexa voice controls and remotely via an app. Read our review.
The flagship Ring doorbell has the best video quality, good connectivity, and excellent motion detection. It works smoothly with Amazon Alexa but is expensive, requires a subscription for most features, and doesn’t offer 24/7 recording. Read our review.
- Ring’s newest video doorbell, the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro, is on sale for $149.99 ($80 off) at Amazon, which is a new low. It offers 1536p HD video, a head-to-toe view, and a similar feature set to the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2; however, it runs on a rechargeable battery and lacks some functionality, including Alexa Greetings.
- The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is also down to an all-time low of $99.99 ($50 off) at Amazon. Ring’s newer doorbell also supports 1536p HD video and a head-to-toe view, along with color night vision, 3D motion detection for more accurate alerts, dual-band Wi-Fi, color pre-roll, and noise-canceling audio.

It also has two 10-gigabit ethernet ports that offer generous bandwidth for wired networks.
- The Ring Indoor Cam is on sale for $29.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, which matches its all-time low price.

If you pay for the Ring Protect Pro subscription, you also get extra features like an SOS button so you can easily request emergency dispatch from a live view or the app.
- If you’re looking for a cheap Ring camera you can use indoors and outdoors, Ring’s last-gen Stick Up Cam is matching its all-time low price of $54.99 ($45 off) at Amazon. The 1080p camera can capture motion-activated video in 1080p, runs on batteries, and has multiple mounting options.
Amazon’s Smart Air Quality Monitor touts a compact design, voice alerts, and automated triggers that allow it to turn on air purifiers and other Alexa-enabled devices. It lacks a display, however, and pairs best with an Echo device. Read our review.
- The Blink Mini 2 is down to $19.99 (50 percent off) at Amazon, which is a new all-time low. The latest Mini is still a basic 1080p camera, but its IP65 weatherproofing means you can use it both indoors and outdoors if you pair it with a Blink Weather Resistant Power Adapter for $10. It also comes with USB-C, improved audio and image quality, and a wider field of view, making it a great upgrade over its predecessor. Read our review.
- If you’re looking for an outdoor security camera, you can buy the Blink Outdoor 4 camera starting at a new all-time low of $39.99 ($60 off) from Amazon. You can also buy it bundled with the latest Echo Show 5 for $59.99 ($129.99 off). The basic 1080p camera offers support for motion detection, night vision, and two-way audio. Just bear in mind that some features are paywalled, like cloud-based storage.

- Normally $139.99, Amazon’s 2023 Fire HD 10 tablet is on sale at Amazon for $74.99 with 32GB of storage. The ad-free 10.1-inch tablet isn’t as powerful or capable as the aforementioned Max 11, but it’s still a good entertainment device for tapping into Amazon content thanks to its spacious 1080p display and decent camera. Read our review.
- You can alternatively buy the ad-supported Fire HD 8 tablet at Amazon with 32GB of storage for half off at $49.99. The eight-inch slate isn’t as sharp as the Fire HD 10, but it’s still a reliable performer with good battery life.
- Amazon is also discounting its lineup of kid-friendly Amazon Fire tablets, all of which are free of ads, come with one year of Amazon Kids Plus, a case, a two-year warranty, and parental controls. You can, for example, buy the latest Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro at a new all-time low price of $69.99 ($80 off) at Amazon. The eight-inch slate is a decent entertainment device for children ages six and up, one that lasts 13 hours on a single charge and offers 32GB of storage which is more than enough for books, games, streaming apps, and other services.
- Alternatively, you can buy Amazon’s latest Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro for $109.99 ($80 off) from Amazon. The tablet is similar to the Fire HD 8 Kids Pro with 32GB of storage and long-battery life, but it sports a larger, 10-inch screen that’s sharper along with better cameras and 3GB of RAM as opposed to 2GB.
