Even with Amazon Prime Day going on, deals on inexpensive tech can be hard to come by. Nevertheless, they do exist, and some products are currently on sale on Amazon for less than $25. These deals encompass a range of products, from great smart speakers and Bluetooth trackers to 4K streaming sticks and popular video games like Forza: Horizon 5, some of which are on sale for the lowest prices to date.

Below, we’ve curated a list of just some of the best tech deals under $25 so even those on the tightest of budgets can save big this Prime Day. And don’t forget: for even more sales, be sure to also check out our guide to the best Amazon Prime Day deals available. We’ve also put together guides to the best anti-Prime Day deals at Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.

Smart speaker deals

dseifert_201025_4263_0009.0.jpg

Amazon Echo Dot (fourth-gen)

  • 70% off

The 2020 Echo Dot features a more spherical design than an actual dot but can still do all the things Alexa does with other Echo models. This bundle comes with a free Sengled smart bulb that offers up to 800 lumens of brightness.

  • The spherical, fourth-gen Echo Dot is currently going for just $19.99 ($20 off) on Amazon — you can tack on an Amazon Smart Plug for $5 more. The latest model may not have as great sound quality as the more expensive fourth-gen Echo, but the small smart speaker still sounds great for its size. Plus, the Alexa-enabled device makes it possible to set timers, control other smart home devices, and so much more hands-free. Read our review.
  • Not a fan of the fourth-gen Echo Dot’s orb-like design? The smaller, puck-shaped Echo Dot from 2018 is also on sale today for $17.99 ($22 off) as well. Sure, it’s not Amazon’s latest and greatest smart speaker, but it still offers a surprising amount of sound and can be used to set alarms and carry out a range of tasks via Alexa. Read our review.

Streaming stick deals

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (2018)

The older Fire TV Stick 4K comes with the the third-gen Alexa remote. The streaming stick is fast and offers supports for Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR10 Plus, and HDR10. 

  • If you’re looking for a streaming stick, Amazon’s older Fire TV Stick 4K with the third-gen Alexa remote is on sale for $24.99 instead of $49.99, which matches its Black Friday price. While not as good as the more expensive Fire TV Stick 4K Max, it’s still plenty fast and offers support for Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR10 Plus, and HDR10. Read our review.
  • Roku’s Express 4K Plus is Roku’s entry-level streaming stick, one that is on sale for $24.99 ($15 off). The 4K streaming device supports HDR10, comes with a remote for hands-free commands, and works with Amazon Alexa, Apple’s Siri, and Google Assistant.

Location trackers and accessories deals

Tile Mate (2022)

  • 29% off

The update to the Tile Mate doesn’t change much but gives it a softer, more rounded design to make it more durable.

  • The 2022 Tile Mate is on sale for $17.99 instead of $24.99, which matches its best price ever. The simple Bluetooth tracker works with both iOS and Android and can help you keep track of your keys and other items from up to 250 feet away. Plus, it comes with a built-in hole — something you won’t find on Apple’s AirTags — allowing you to securely attach it to your belongings. Other perks include water resistance and user-replaceable batteries.
  • You can buy Apple’s AirTag loop in blue, orange, and yellow right now for $9 instead of $29.99, which is a new all-time low on Amazon. As we previously mentioned, you’ll need a lanyard to attach your AirTags to luggage and other accessories, given that the AirTags lack a built-in keychain loop. Amazon is also selling Apple’s Leather Key Ring in yellow and orange for $19 instead of $35.
  • For those who own a Samsung Galaxy smartphone that runs Android 8.0 or higher, you can buy the standard Samsung SmartTag tracker that lacks UWB for $17.99 instead of $29.99.
