In brief
Amazon's October sale starts soon, but the best discounts on phones, earbuds, and home gear are already live. Early Prime Day deals on tested tech like the Google Pixel 10a and Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro are live now, before the official October 6-7 event. Originally reported by WIRED.
Prime Day kicks off October 6
Amazon's second annual Prime Big Deal Days sale runs October 6 and 7, but early deals have already started. WIRED's deal experts have been hunting for true discounts on hand-tested gear.
Best phone deal: Pixel 10a
The Google Pixel 10a is down to $424, a $75 discount. It's WIRED's favorite Android phone overall because it's cheap but delivers powerful cameras, smooth performance, and years of software updates.
Top earbuds for Android users
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are $190, down $40. They're WIRED's top earbuds for Android, with great sound, active noise cancellation, long battery life, and useful software features.
Budget earbuds and workout options
JBL Go 5 is $40 (27% off) and Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are $200 (20% off). The JBL is durable and lightweight; the Beats work with both iOS and Android with punchy sound and transparency mode.
Robot vacuum at best price
Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is $550, down $250 from $800. It has good suction power and this is the best price since release, though it could handle tricky spills better.
Smart home deals on air and birds
Netvue Birdfy Lite smart bird feeder is $144 with AI identification and solar panel. Levoit Vital 200S-P air purifier is $170, with a connected app that tracks air quality and sends notifications.
Cordless vacuum and portable router
Shark PowerDetect cordless stick vacuum is $430 with base station, down $120. TP-Link Roam 7 router is $90, down $40, and works well for travel or small spaces with VPN support.
