The latest, fifth-generation Echo dot has the same design as its predecessor, but with improved audio quality and deeper bass from its single 1.73in speaker. There’s currently a whopping 60 per cent off the dot ahead of Amazon Prime Day. In our review of the nifty device, our tester said: “The fifth-generation smart speaker has even better sound than all the Echo dots that have come before it (a mean feat, given how hard it is to eek good sound out of a small device).”
Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones: Was £380, now £279.99, Amazon.co.uk
Sony’s flagship headphones boast the best noise-cancelling of any we’ve tested, and this 26 per cent discount on the cans is great value. They feature in our round-up of the best wireless headphones, where our tester said “whether it’s orchestral music, rap, podcasts or your favourite pop tracks, the WH-1000XM5 handle it all with poise and gumption – they never miss a beat”.

Save some cash on a new laptop while this 15.6in HP is reduced by £170 in the Big Deal Days sale. With an 11th-gen intel core processor, which is billed as enabling better performance and connectivity, this model is designed with an integrated precision touchpad, and comes with an HD display. Plus, you can expect your video calls to be elevated with vibrant visuals, thanks to the truevision HD camera, while the laptop’s battery life ensures it’ll run for up to seven hours at a time.

The best budget buy in our round-up of the best video doorbells, Amazon’s Blink video doorbell is even more pocket-friendly at the moment, thanks to this Big Deal Days discount. Delivering on “great functionality” and easy setup and installation, according to our tester, it will record around the clock, in 1,080px HD when it’s light out, and infrared HD night vision once the sun goes down. Also, there’s motion detection and two-way audio, enabling you to interact with visitors. As it’s discounted by more than 42 per cent, now’s a great time to invest.

It also comes with its own cables and unlike many other portable chargers, the USB-C port supports both input and output.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4: Was £1,059, now £658.99, Amazon.co.uk
Though it’s been replaced by the Galaxy Z Flip 5, last year’s Samsung foldable is a bargain at just £659.

Google Pixel Watch: Was £339, now £238.99, Amazon.co.uk
Google’s first true wearable is the natural choice of smartwatch for Pixel owners. Our Pixel Watch review praised its style and functionality, calling it “an excellent Android smartwatch with health tracking powered by Fitbit – the best fitness-tracking platform for most users – and it looks sleek and stylish on the wrist”. The watch has improved even more since launching: a recent feature update added SpO2 tracking for better sleep-quality measurements.
Sonos one speaker: Was £199, now £149, Amazon.co.uk
Launched in 2017 and updated in 2019, the Sonos One might just be the definitive all-round smart speaker.

Right now, you can pick one up with £50 off in the Prime Day sale.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8: Was £674.25, now £499, Amazon.co.uk
The Galaxy Tab S series routinely appears in our review of the best tablets. The S8 is last year’s tablet, an 11in device with an excellent OLED display that’s ideal for watching entertainment on the go, plus an auto-framing selfie camera for video calls and an S Pen stylus included for free.
Google Pixel Tablet with charging speaker dock: Was £599, now £534, Amazon.co.uk

Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 Bluetooth speaker: Was £239, now £169, Amazon.co.uk
The puck-shaped Beosound A1 is designed to take a few knocks. As well as being tough enough to survive the outdoors, it sounds great thanks to a pair of 140W speakers encased within its toughened aluminium casing. Waterproof, and compatible with Alexa, it makes the perfect travel speaker.
Bose Solo Soundbar Series II: Was £179.95, now £139.90, Amazon.co.uk

Google Chromecast with Google TV (4K): Was £59.99, now £39.99, Amazon.co.uk
Turn any TV into a smart TV with the Google Chromecast dongle, a streaming stick that brings together most of your favourite streaming apps into one place. The Google TV interface is one of the most slick we’ve tested and lets you search for TV shows, music and movies using voice commands.

Fitbit inspire 3 activity tracker: Was £84.99, now £59.99, Amazon.co.uk
In our round-up of the best Fitbits, the inspire 3 was dubbed the best affordable and unobtrusive fitness tracking. Our tester said: “The straightforward, fitness-focused inspire 3 is ideal for users who value getting up-to-the-second step counting and heart-rate monitoring via their wrist – without quite so much extra ‘noise’ as you’d get with certain alternative models.” The inspire 3 is water-resistant up to 50m and has a battery life of up to 10 days. With more than 30 per cent off this Prime Day, this is the perfect Fitbit for those looking to monitor their health and fitness.
