Prime Big Deal Days 2025 hasn’t officially launched yet, but we’ve already seen some amazing Amazon Echo deals. Here’s one of our favorites — a 33% discount on the latest model of the Amazon Echo Show 8, slashing its price from $150 to only $100. We don’t recommend waiting for the shopping event before you proceed with your purchase for this smart home device because there’s a chance that stocks are already gone by then, so add it to your cart and finish the checkout process immediately to grab the savings of $50.
In our guide on which Amazon Echo should you buy, we recommended the Echo Show devices for those who want to combine a display with the Amazon’s Alexa-powered smart speakers. The third-generation Amazon Echo Show 8, released in 2023, is an excellent option, as it features an 8-inch touchscreen with HD resolution that enables a wide variety of functions, including watching streaming shows, accessing video tutorials, and making video calls with its 13MP camera. You can place shortcut icons on the Amazon Echo Show 8’s home screen for quick access to your favorite widgets and apps, and you can have it show pictures from your Amazon Photos account to serve as a digital frame when it’s not in use.
The Amazon Echo Show 8 may be a relatively compact device, but it offers shockingly great sound that makes interactions with Alexa even more convenient, while also allowing it to serve as a fantastic entertainment hub. It’s also a solid smart home hub as you’ll be able to pair it with all of your smart home devices, so that you can manage security cameras, smart lights, and more using its touchscreen or voice commands.
The latest version of the Amazon Echo Show 8, originally sold for $150, is on sale for just $100 in an early offer from Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days 2025. You’re going to have to be quick if you want to get the Alexa-powered smart display at 33% off though, as there’s a chance that it’s already gone by the time the shopping event starts. To make sure that you pocket the $50 in savings, move forward with your purchase of the Amazon Echo Show 8 right now.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
