Day two of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is underway, with the promotional window closing at 3 a.m. ET on Thursday, October 8th.

The Verge’s editorial team cross-referenced current shopping listings with their own product reviews and buying guides to identify approximately 100 deals on preferred gadgets. While Prime membership is required to access the full range of offers, many of these prices are matched by major retailers including Best Buy, Walmart, and Target.
Among the standout hardware discounts is the Lenovo Legion Go 2 handheld console, available through Costco for $999.99, down from $1,699. Apple’s M6 Mac Mini is priced at $779 on Amazon, reflecting a 20% performance boost over the M4 chip compared to the previous model. The Apple Watch Series 12 has also seen price cuts, with the 42mm GPS version dropping to $349.99 and the 5G + GPS model at $489.

The iPhone 16E, positioned as a successor to the iPhone SE, is discounted to $489.99 at Best Buy. Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra is one of the best-priced of the year at $979.99 on Amazon, while the Z Fold 8 reaches a record low of $1,549.99. The Pixel 11 series also sees significant reductions, with the base Pixel 11 dropping by $150 to $749, and the Pixel 11 Pro XL cutting $300 off its price to $999.

Wow, the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft for under $190 is insane. I definitely need to upgrade my old Paperwhite now.
I checked Best Buy and they actually match the Apple Watch prices. Prime isn’t strictly necessary for all of these deals.
Is the Pixel 11 Pro XL really $300 off? That seems too good to be true compared to previous year models.
The Lenovo Legion Go 2 is a steal at $999. I’ve been waiting for a price drop like this for months.
