Happy Amazon Prime Day to all who celebrate. It’s no secret that visiting Amazon during these sales can be a bit of an overwhelming experience, even when looking at a single brand. With that in mind, we’ve combed through Google’s Prime Day deals and found the best ones, from phones to doorbells, for you to shop. While Amazon and Google haven’t always played nicely with each other over the past few years, it’s possible to pick up some Google devices at the online retailer — and Prime Day has discounted a number of our favorites.
The Google Pixel 7 Pro is the elite option in the Pixel phone family, and it’s touting a hefty discount for Prime Day. It’s 28 percent off right now, dropping to $899 from $649. Its 6.7-inch screen has a Smooth Display up to 120 Hz, a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and up to 1,000 nits (HDR) and 1,500 nits at peak brightness. The Pixel 7 Pro’s adaptive Battery can last for 24 hours or even up to 72 hours if your phone is in Extreme Battery Saver mode. Additional features include a 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus and a 48MP Quad Bayer PD telephoto camera. Plus, the Pixel 7 Pro has a 512 GB option and 12 GB of RAM, unlike its fellow Pixel phones.
The Google Pixel 7 is $100 off, dropping from $599 to $499. For $150 less, the Google Pixel 7 is a cheaper but respectable alternative to its Pro counterpart. Its 6.3-inch display has a 20:9 aspect ratio, up to 1,000 nits (HDR) and 1,400 nits at peak brightness, and the same scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass Victus as the Pro. The Google Pixel 7 also matches up in battery length and standard features like a Titan M2 security chip, photo and face unblur, Magic Eraser and stereo speakers. It has 8 GB of RAM and comes in 125GB or 256GB models.
The Google Pixel 7a might be less discounted than the classic Google Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro, but it’s still the least expensive phone of the trio. It’s $50 off thanks to Prime Day sales dropping it from $499 to $449 — a new record low. Google’s Pixel 7a has the same battery life, aspect ratio, scratch-resistant glass and standard features as the Pixel 7. It’s a tad smaller with a 6.1-inch display and a 13MP ultrawide rear camera. In our review, we felt like the Pixel 7a was just a slightly cheaper and slimmer version of the Pixel 7, so it might be worth saving $50 and choosing it over the classic model.
The Google Pixel Watch finally came out last fall after about a decade of waiting. If you’ve kept holding off on making the leap to it, now might be the time: The Google Pixel Watch is $250, down from $350 as part of Amazon’s Prime Day sales. The watch combines Samsung and Fitbit technology into a clean, beautiful design.
If you’re looking to save money on the air conditioning bill this summer, then the Google Nest Thermostat is a good option. The smart device learns your routines and creates a heating and cooling schedule around them. Google designed the Nest Thermostat to look for energy-saving opportunities, and it provides you with tips and information on your usage. Right now, its 35 percent off, bringing its price to $85 from $130.
The Google Nest Security Camera Indoor is 30 percent off for Prime Day, bringing its price to $70 from $100. The camera is a good option for checking in on your house while on vacation or even peeking in on your dog while at work. You can review up to three hours of video history with night vision for free from anywhere and see up to 60 days with a Nest Aware subscription. Google’s Nest Security Camera Indoor also has a mic and listening device, along with the option for notifications direct to your phone.
The Google Nest Cam is more versatile, working indoors or outdoors, and its slightly higher price reflects that. It’s $120 for Prime Day, a 33 percent discount from its usual price of $180. It comes with a wall plate to mount on an outdoor wall and is battery-powered for outdoor convenience.
Take the guesswork out of who’s at the front door with the Google Nest Doorbell. For a Prime Day price of $120 (down from $180), you can see and speak to the person at your door, whether from inside your house as you rush to grab shoes or while away. It works with batteries, or you can wire it to your existing doorbell.Nest WiFi Pro – 2 Pack
Google’s Nest WiFi Pro is only a few weeks old, but it’s already undergoing a major sale. Prime Day deals have brought the price of a Snow-colored two-pack down to $220 from $300 — a 27 percent discount. The Pro is one of the cheapest WiFi 6E devices available right now, and we found it both easy to set up and to use. The only downside of the WiFi upgrade is that it’s not compatible with any Google or Nest WiFi hardware you already have.
The Google Nest WiFi Pro three-pack gives you all the same technology as the pair but with a wider range. With three routers, you can access WiFi across 6,600 square feet. At 25 percent off, the trio is $300, making each Nest WiFi Pro only $100 — it’s a steal considering they typically retail for $200 each. As for color, get them all in Snow or get a mix of Snow, Fog and Linen.

Don’t fret if you need to upgrade your computer’s peripherals. Logitech is offering discounts of up to 50 percent on gaming and productivity gear for Prime Day, including keyboard, mice and other accessories. Most notably, this includes enthusiast hardware. The minimalist G915 TKL gaming keyboard is down to $150, or 30 percent off, while the number pad-equipped G915 Lightspeed is $170 (32 percent off). The eSports-friendly G Pro X Superlight mouse has dropped to $110 (31 percent off), while the more affordable G305 Lightspeed mouse has dipped to $30 (40 percent off). And if you’re mainly interested in getting work done, the original MX Keys keyboard is on sale for $105 (13 percent off).
Other gaming peripherals on sale include the G535 headset at $80 (38 percent off) and the G29 racing wheel combo for $200 (50 percent off). Recent iPad Air owners can snap up the Folio Touch keyboard case for $110 (31 percent off), and creators can buy the Litra Glow light for $50 (17 percent off).
We like the G915 TKL for gaming in unconventional environments, such as on your lap. It’s thin, light and takes up little space, but it still offers quality mechanical switches and flashy lighting. Our only major objection was pricing, which isn’t as much of an issue at this price. The MX Keys, meanwhile, is excellent for typing and packs a full keyboard into a surprisingly small footprint.

There’s a solid Prime Day deal to be had for those who are looking to dip their toes into virtual reality. A Meta Quest 2 bundle that includes a $50 Amazon gift card is available. Best of all, $51 has been knocked off the price of the headset, so you’ll effectively be getting the gift card for free (and an extra $1 back in your pocket). The bundle costs $299 for the 128GB model and $349 for the 256GB model.
The Meta Quest 2 is a few years old at this point and there’s a more powerful successor on the way in the coming months. For the time being, though, we still reckon it’s the best virtual reality headset out there for most folks.
The headset has a screen resolution of 1832×1920 per eye with a 90Hz refresh rate. The field of view is around 90 degrees, which isn’t terrific, but it does the trick for the most part.
You can use the Quest 2 as a standalone device. It runs on a similar chipset to the Samsung Galaxy S20 series, making its performance all the more impressive. For more demanding VR experiences, you can hook the headset up to a gaming PC.
The device comes with great motion controllers and you can access a vast array of VR titles with it. We found that the Quest 2 is comfortable to wear for long periods of time. You’ll have the option to buy an Elite headstrap or swap out the face pads for a more comfortable fit too.

Anker is known for its premium charging products, but you do pay for the extra quality. Now for Prime Day, you can grab a number of Anker chargers and other accessories at Amazon with discounts of up to 50 percent. Among the list of deals (including featured deals) are the 10,000 mAh Anker Magnetic Battery (MagGo) for iPhones (55 or 31 percent off), the Nano 3 USB-C GaN 30W 511 charger ($25 or 35 percent off) and a two-pack of USB-C 100W charging cables for MacBook Pros, now down to $13 or 19 percent off the regular price.
The Anker 633 Magnetic Battery (MagGo) has a small kickstand attachment, and since it sticks to your iPhone while charging, it also doubles as a phone stand. This one’s a bit smaller than the 737 Power Bank and has a 10,000mAh battery capacity with a 20W USB-C power delivery port for fast charging times. Unlike past sales, the other colors (blue and white) are also on sale at the same $55 price, giving your more options to match up with your style.
Meanwhile, Anker’s 30W 511 (Nano 3) is a good pick because it’s compact, foldable and has ActiveShield 2.0, an improvement on Anker’s temperature-monitoring technology. In brief, it means that the charger will keep an eye on its temperature to prevent overheating or damaging your device while it’s powering up. It has more than enough wattage to charge your Apple Watch quickly and efficiently, and enough to fast-charge your iPhone whenever you need to switch off and use it for that.
If you need powerful charging cables, the Anker 333 USB-C to USB-C six-foot, 100W cables for MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, Samsung Galaxy S23 and other models are on sale in a two-pack for just $13, a savings of 19 percent over the regular price. There are many other deals on power banks, magnetic chargers, USB-C chargers and more — to see them, check out Anker’s Prime Day landing page or its featured deals page.

Amazon Prime Day is typically a boon for storage deals. Aside from the holiday shopping season, it’s one of the best times of the year to pick up a new microSD card for your Nintendo Switch, an SSD for your PS5 or a portable drive to take with you on your next excursion. This year’s Prime Day is no exception as many of our favorite SSDs, microSD cards and portable drives have been deeply discounted for the shopping event. We culled the deals to find the best ones on our favorite storage gear — in other words, the best Prime Day SSD, microSD card and portable drive deals you can get.
The top pick in our best microSD cards guide, Samsung’s Pro Plus in 256GB is on sale for $20 right now. It had some of the best overall speeds of any of the microSD cards we tested, and it has all of the important ratings that a good card should have: U3, V30 and A2. It’ll be a great pick for your tablet, smartphone or Nintendo Switch, and it comes with a full-sized adapter in case you need to use it with a camera or connect it to your computer.
Kingston’s Canvas Go Plus microSD card has dropped to $23 for Prime Day. It’s the runner-up pick in our guide thanks to its solid speeds, U3, V30 and A2 ratings and lifetime warranty.
Samsung’s Evo Select microSD card has dropped to $10 for Prime Day. It’s a step behind the top pick in our microSD card guide, mostly due to its slower sequential write speeds, but it’s arguably the best value microSD card you can get right now.
SanDisk’s officially licensed Nintendo Switch microSD card is on sale for $23 for Prime Day. While you don’t have to use a licensed card like this in your Nintendo Switch, it’s nice to have for die-hard fans and it’s an easier buy when discounted like this. We found this card to have fast read/write speeds and we appreciate its lifetime warranty.
The Lexar Professional 1066 microSD card has dropped to $14 for Prime Day. It’s a good alternative to our top pick in our microSD card guide, even if its overall speeds are a bit slower.
The Samsung T7 Shield SSD has been discounted to $75 for Prime Day. The T7 series as a whole includes some of our favorite SSDs, and the Shield is the most durable of the bunch. The portable drive has an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, and it can withstand drops from up to 10 feet high. On top of that, its 1,050/1,000 MB/s read/write speeds should be enough for most people’s needs.
The Samsung T7 drive has dropped to $70 for Prime Day. If you don’t need the extra protection that the Shield has, the standard T7 is a good option. It has the same read/write speeds as the Shield, and it comes with both a USB-C and USB-A cable in the box, so you’ll be able to use it with nearly any gadget you have.
The Crucial X8 portable drive is on sale for $70 right now. It supports read speeds up to 1,050 MB/s and drop protection from up to 7.5 feet. It also comes with a USB-A adapter for its included USB-C cable, so you can use it with a variety of devices.
The top pick in our best PS5 SSDs guide, the Corsair MP600 Pro LPX drive is on sale for $68 right now. It checks all the boxes you’d want in a good drive for your console: it’s fast, with read speeds of up to 7,100MB/s, it comes with a pre-installed heatsink and it’s protected by a five-year warranty. Plus, it’s not the most expensive drive to begin with, which makes it a great value — especially when on sale like this.
Crucial’s MX500 internal drive has been discounted to $48 for Prime Day. It has sequential read speeds of 560MB/s and a standard 2.5-inch design that should make it easy to swamp in for your desktop’s or laptop’s used-up drive.
The Crucial P5 Plus SSD is on sale for $54 for Prime Day. It’s already our favorite affordable SSD for the PS5, so it’s an even better buy when you can get it at a discount. It has read speeds of up to 6,600MB/s and the main downside to it is that you’ll need to provide and install your own heatsink to get it to work with Sony’s console.
Samsung’s 980 Pro SSD has dropped to $50 for Prime Day. It’s another good option for the PS5, especially since you can spring for a model with an included heatsink if you want. The 980 Pro has read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s and reliable thermal controls.
PNY’s XLR8 SSD is down to $80 for Prime Day. This model was designed with the PS5 in mind, so it’s ready to install with its included heatsink. It supports up to 7,500 MB/s sequential read speeds and it’s available in up to 4TB sizes.
WD Black’s SN850X is on sale for $128 right now. It has the right read/write speeds to be a good option for the PS5, plus you can get it (or it’s slightly slower counterpart, the SN850) with a heatsink included.
The Crucial P2 SSD has dropped to $62 for Prime Day. It’s a solid, affordable option if you’re looking for an internal SSD, thanks to its sequential read speeds of up to 2,400 MB/s.

Fitness is (thankfully) no longer about attaining some aesthetic ideal. It helps us sleep better, have more energy and avoid burnout — salutary things for all humans, but particularly for college students. Engadget staffers include workout fiends, avid cyclists, a Judo blackbelt and a certified marathon coach, so we’ve reviewed and covered a wide expanse of fitness tech. For this guide, we’re calling out gear that makes the most sense for students who need help improving their overall health without gobbling up too much time, space or money.
Smartwatches are basically tiny computers on your wrist, which can be overkill when all you want to do is track your runs and heart rate. Fitness trackers are cheaper, have longer lasting batteries and tend to be lighter on your wrist. Our current favorite is the Fitbit Charge 5 thanks to its thin design that still boasts a full-color OLED display. It has an EDA sensor to keep tabs on your stress levels and on-board GPS tracking for runs, hikes and bike rides without your phone present. Plus, it can last for over two days on a charge with the always-on display enabled and five days with it off, so if you forget to charge it between classes and late-night cram sessions, it’s no big deal.
If you do want a tiny computer on your wrist, we think the Apple Watch Series 8 has the best blend of fitness-centered features and smartwatch utility. It’s currently our favorite smartwatch and has sensors to track your heart rate, sleep, ovulation and EKG measurements. The Workout app has countless modes and will soon include more advanced cycling workouts.
Our deputy editor Cherlynn Low tried out the Series 8 for a week when it first came out and called it a “superb watch” with “excellent health and fitness tools.” Plus, it puts all of your iPhone’s alerts on your wrist, so you’ll never miss an important email from a professor or a reminder to finish your paper that’s due tomorrow. At nearly $400, it’s an expensive investment but one that will last. My Apple Watch 4 is still going strong and will even be eligible for the upcoming WatchOS 10 update this fall, five years after it was released.
Of course, if you don’t use an iPhone, an Apple Watch doesn’t make a lot of sense. For Android users, we recommend the Galaxy Watch 5 from Samsung because it’s a reliable wearable with comprehensive fitness and smart capabilities that rival Apple’s smartwatch.
Getting healthy is not about the number on a scale, but you can use that number as one way to monitor your progress towards your fitness goals. One of our favorite smart scales on the market, the Smart Scale P2 Pro by Eufy tracks not just pounds and kilos, but also your heart rate, BMI, and muscle and bone mass. It can even detect things like your basal metabolic rate and offers a bevy of stats and data in its companion app. Despite being one of the more feature-rich scales we tested, the P2 Pro typically comes in around $80, which should make it affordable for students on a budget.
This gadget shows up in many of our gift guides because it’s such an excellent self care item. After a hard workout, the Theragun Mini can ease some soreness. Our UK bureau chief, Mat Smith, who does five HIIT and/or weight training classes per week, finds that it works nearly as well as Theragun’s much pricier Elite flagship percussive therapy gun. The triangle shape of the Mini is small enough to control with one hand so you can easily direct the massage. While it’s not exactly quiet, Theragun’s latest motors tamp down the noise a bit so you’ll annoy your roommates slightly less when you put it to work.
Mat is also a fan of TriggerPoint’s Foam Massage Ball and recommends it in his fitness recovery guide. The rigid balls can be used nearly anywhere you feel tight or sore. You can stick them on a yoga mat and roll over them to target places on your shoulders and glutes, or roll them between your back and the wall to ease tightness. They come in different sizes and firmness levels as well: the smaller ones are better for the muscles like your calves, and the larger versions are best used for bigger areas like your hips. Since they’re more compact than foam rollers, they should be easy to stash in cramped apartment closets or dorm room storage spaces.
With sleep and health being so intertwined, I’d be remiss not to mention the Hatch Restore 2 here. I tested it for many weeks and found it helped me get to sleep faster and woke me up more gently than any alarm I’ve used. It’s a sleep machine and sunrise alarm in one, relying on a vast library of original content to help you get better rest. The sleep stories are relaxing and the ambient music is perfect for nodding off to. A variety of white, pink and brown noises can play all night if you want them to, and there’s even motivational morning stretches and talks to get you going. The caveat is the price: it’s $200 for the unit and $5 each month for the membership — but if a new living situation, noisy roommates or the stress of coursework has you struggling to get a good night’s sleep, it could be worth it.
If you like your AirPods for studying and daily listening but want something designed to handle movement and sweat, check out the Beats Fit Pro. They’re our top recommendation for workout earbuds in our guide thanks to their balanced sound that delivers plenty of hard-hitting, butt-motivating beats. The wing helps them stay in place and they’re surprisingly comfortable, according to our audio expert and senior news editor Billy Steele. Despite being made by Apple, there’s a good amount of support for Android devices as well, but they are a little pricey at $200. For something more budget-friendly, check out the Jabra Elite 4 Active; we recommend them in our workout headphones guide and they usually sell for around $100.
Being in school can make it tough to fit in a trip to the gym, even if you have one on campus. Fitness apps make it easy to squeeze in a workout wherever it makes sense — most don’t require much beyond a small square of space and maybe a mat. One app we prefer for workouts like yoga, pilates and barre is Alo Moves. It’s a little pricier than others at $20 per month, but offers a huge and ever-updating cache of workouts, with options to choose sessions based on duration, difficulty and intensity. For consistency (and to eliminate decision fatigue), you can try different “series” made up of similar workouts to do over a few days or weeks. Alo Moves also includes meditation classes, which could come in handy when class, or life in general, gets overwhelming.
For those with an iPhone, Apple Fitness+ is a little cheaper than Alo Moves at $10 per month. It also has a wider variety of classes to choose from, with yoga, HIIT, dance, kickboxing and at least eight more categories available. I like to stick with a particular instructor for a while before moving on to someone else. There’s great interplay between the classes and the playlist, no doubt thanks to Apple’s expanding music rights. Class durations range from 5 to 45 minutes, so you can get in a quick workout in between classes or carve out time for longer sessions. You don’t have to have an Apple Watch to use Fitness+ either, but the on-screen, real-time stats like heart rate and burn zones can be pretty motivating.
Running, hiking and cycling are perfect low-cost, high-return workouts that can actually help you get to know the areas outside your campus. Strava’s app not only tracks your stats, but there’s also a robust social feature that can help keep you motivated, particularly when you challenge others. Our weekend editor, Igor Bonifacic, said using the app helped him realize he was steadily improving as a cyclist — even when it sometimes felt like he wasn’t. Recording your rides and runs is free, as is access to the social network and use of the Beacon safety feature that lets you share your location with another person during your activities. Other features, like goal setting and route planning, require a subscription that’s currently $12 per month or $80 annually.
