Best Prime Day Amazon Deals
This story is part of the Digital Trends Prime Day 2026 coverage

Much of the Prime Day hype is around 4K TVs, laptops, smartphones and smart home devices, but the shopping event is also a great opportunity to save on products for your kids. With early access deals, which just became available at 3 p.m. ET, Amazon discounted a full suite of its devices and tablets, including all of the kids edition Fire tablets, and dropping the Echo Dot for kids to its lowest price ever. Some of us may not be ready to think about back-to-school shopping, but if your children are going to need tablets before their school year kicks off, there’s no better time to save on electronics than now with these Prime Day deals.

In addition to Amazon devices, Walmart flipped the deals switch this weekend, dropping prices on thousands of products before Amazon’s 48-hour Prime Day official start on Monday, July 15 at 3 a.m. Below, we’ve curated all the best tech deals for your kids that are already live from the two major retail giants. Need a couple of things for yourself and home? Here’s a list of early access deals on all Amazon devices.

I played with Yarbo’s yard robot at IFA, and now I want one for every season
One tracked robot, a new job for every season
Yarbo M-series Featured 2

I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting a yard robot to be one of the more entertaining things I’d get my hands on at IFA 2026. Then I walked over to Yarbo’s booth and started playing around with the M Series.

The basic idea is wonderfully simple: instead of buying a different robot for every outdoor chore, Yarbo gives you one tracked robotic Core and a collection of attachments. Swap the module, and suddenly your robot has a completely different job. Mowing? Yep. Snow? Yep. Leaves? Yep. And there’s even a trimmer module on the way.

The future of smart homes may not be more devices, but better-designed experiences

Minimalism has reshaped almost every corner of the modern home.

The best tech of IFA 2026: A repairable laptop, liquid-cooled power bank, AI toothbrush, and more
From an AI toothbrush to a liquid-cooled battery, this is the best tech of IFA 2026
Best Of IFA 2026

IFA Berlin brought innovation from across the globe into one giant exhibition, and we got the chance to experience the new-gen "tech" firsthand. Walking through Messe Berlin, we saw a laptop designed to be repaired at home to a power bank with visible liquid coolant, an AI-powered toothbrush with a camera inside your mouth, and a robot vacuum carrying another.

The variety is what makes IFA one of the best tech shows. IFA 2026 runs from September 4 through 8, and we've spent our time in Berlin chasing down the products that caught our eyes. Some of these are clever ideas that may change how we use tech every day, while others solve a problem that I didn't realize existed.
