AMAZON Prime Day is here and the online shop is flooded with seemingly endless deals – with plenty of cut-price gadgets on offer.
If you’re struggling to know where to start, don’t worry. I’m The Sun’s tech editor, Sean Keach, and I’ve been testing tech as part of my job for more than a decade. And there are five Prime Day discounts that I’d actually buy.

There’s something for everyone, and they’re all priced at well under £100.
The only catch: you’ll need an active Amazon Prime membership to snap up these Prime Day deals.
On top of that, Prime Day is a limited-time event and (confusingly, despite the name) lasts from Tuesday, July 8 until Friday, July 11.
Here are my top picks…
Tech Deal #1 – Ring Battery Video Doorbell + Chime
Now £59.99 (was £129.98)
Top of my list is a frankly unmissable deal on the Ring Battery Video Doorbell.
This is a rechargeable doorbell (that means no wires) that lets you see who’s at the door via a smartphone app, answer it from anywhere in the world, and keep an eye on your home.
It even has night colour night vision, and an “out of office” feature called Quick Replies.
But it’s also bundled with a Chime, which plugs into the mains and serves as a speaker for your doorbell chime. Otherwise you’re just relying on smartphone notifications.
This is a top deal that saves you just shy of £70.
And it’s the lowest price ever for the bundle too, according to Amazon product tracker CamelCamelCamel.
I recently tested the slightly more expensive Plus version of this gadget (with marginally higher resolution and a quick-release battery) and loved it – check out my Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus review.
Tech Deal #2 – Apple AirTag 4-pack
10
Now £84 (was £119)
Next up is this four-pack bundle of Apple AirTags.
The AirTags are little tracker tags that you can stick in a backpack or purse, attach to keys or a bike, or tie on to your luggage.
You can then monitor their location through the Find My app on your iPhone.

They also let you ‘ping’ them to make a beeping noise if you can’t physically find them.
It’s a great way to get peace of mind with your beloved gadgets. I put them on almost everything – in my bag, on my suitcases, and even in my car.
A single AirTag from Apple costs £35, so the full £119 price is already a saving on the £140 you’d pay for four individually.
But at £84, it means you’re paying just £21 per AirTag, which is a very good price.
Tech Deal #3 – Anker MagGo Power Bank
10
Now £54.99 (was £89.99)
Charging our phones is something most of us do every single day.
But you’re not always by a plug socket – especially in summer when you’ll be out and about.
Last year I tested out the Anker MagGo Power Bank, and it’s easily one of my favourite charging gadgets of all time.
It’s a wireless charging pack, which means you can slap your iPhone on top and it’ll power up.
10
The 10,000mAh capacity means it’ll charge up an iPhone multiple times over – at least two or three.
And it has a kickstand at the back so you can have your phone on display either vertically or horizontally.
If you spin your iPhone into horizontal mode, it unlocks StandBy mode, which turns your mobile into a desk or bedside table clock too.
And there’s a built-in screen that shows the pack’s battery level, the time it’ll take to recharge, and how much longer you’ll be able to use the pack for.
This is £35 off, which is nothing to sniff at. A must-buy for the power-hungry!
Tech Deal #4 – Withings Body Smart Scale
10
Now £69.95 (was £89.95)
Last year, I was able to lose about four stone with the help of three weight loss support gadgets.
One of them was a Withings Body Smart Scale, and it’s hard to imagine living without it.
It works like a regular scale, tracking your weight in the unit of your choice.
But it also uploads it to the Withings app (and then syncs that into Apple Health too), so you can log your weight without lifting a finger.
10
Also, it can tell who’s standing on the scale, so my wife can hop on too and our measurements won’t get confused.
That’s not all: the scale also tracks your body composition, detailing your exact body fat percentage.
This is useful, as it’s a more specific way of measuring how much of you is actually fat – something your generic weight can’t really show.
This gadget is normally £89.95, but it’s now a steal at £69.95.
Tech Deal #5 – Backbone One Mobile Gaming Controller
10
Now £59.99 (was £99.99)
Consoles are expensive – and in the case of the new Nintendo Switch 2 (which is selling like hotcakes) hard to even buy.
The good news is that you already have a posh console: it’s the smartphone in your pocket.
And you can get that console feeling with the Backbone One Mobile Gaming controller.
This attaches to your iPhone and adds a controller element, effectively making it function as a handheld console.
10
The one I’ve linked here is the Lightning port model, so check that your iPhone has that port.
But if your iPhone is newer and has a USB-C port, you can bag that too. It’s a tenner more. Just switch it with the button on that Amazon page.
You can play Call of Duty, Roblox, Fortnite and more with this controller.
And if you sign up to a cloud gaming service – like Xbox Cloud Gaming – you can play loads of proper console games too.
