Everyone knows that Prime Day and Black Friday are the two best times of the year to buy Amazon devices — Echo speakers, Kindle readers, Fire tablets, Ring security products and Fire TV streamers — at deep discounts, and this year is no exception. As of Sunday, Nov. 22, the online retailer has flipped the switch on most of its big discounts for the season, and we’ve curated the best deals below. Among the ground rules to keep in mind:
- These are the first significant discounts we’ve seen on the new 2020 Echo and Echo Dot speakers.
- Deals that are already live on Amazon’s site are at the top.
- Nearly all of these deals are also available at Best Buy, Target and other retailers.
- Note that many of these are a return to price drops from October’s Prime Day event.
- It’s not impossible for there to be additional bundle and add-on deals, but we don’t expect these prices to go any lower between now and the end of the year.
- Note that many of these are already backordered for weeks, and those ship times will likely get longer. However, Amazon devices rarely go “out of stock” — the shipping dates will just keep getting pushed further back in most cases.
Don’t see anything you want here? Don’t worry — more Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are coming.

Like the new, full-size Echo, the 2020 Dot boasts a striking new spheroidal aesthetic. It’s a solid smart speaker and remains a great entry point to voice assistance and the smart home.
The new Echo Dot will be $29, saving you $20 off the regular retail price.
Chris Monroe/CNET
Like the Echo Dot, the new Echo Dot with Clock is on sale. Save $21 on this Echo Dot model with an LED clock display for a great bedside, alarm clock assistant.
You’ll get all the Alexa smarts you expect with the added bonus of a visual indicator for time and other info.
Amazon
This combo deal regularly retails for $60, but it’s now on sale for $29. Get the all-new Echo Dot along with a Sengled Smart Bulb and take the first steps in setting up your smart home. Since the Echo Dot is also on sale for $29, you’ll be getting the Sengled Smart Bulb for free.
Note this is the Sengled Smart Bulb that requires either Bluetooth control or the Sengled Zigbee hub.

Amazon gave the Echo a total redesign in 2020. It’s now a spherical smart speaker, but that’s not all. The newest Echo sounds great, includes a Zigbee receiver for smart home integration and looks good sitting on your countertop.
This sale saves you $30 off the $100 regular retail price.

If you want a display for video chatting, watching Netflix or just for use as a smart alarm clock, the Show 5 — the smallest smart display from Amazon — is a great little gadget. It dropped to $45 during Prime Day, and since that price is returning to Best Buy on Nov. 22, we expect it to return to Amazon this weekend, too.
Tyler Lizenby/CNET
The older version of Amazon’s entry-level smart was selling for $19 during Prime Day. That deal is returning to Best Buy — with a free smart bulb thrown in — starting Nov. 22, so we assume it will be returning to Amazon, too — stock permitting.
Amazon
This $50 deal delivers an Echo Show 5 smart display and a Blink Mini camera, a great combo for keeping an eye on other areas of your home. The Echo Show 5 is Amazon’s compact 5.5-inch smart display. The Blink Mini is Blink’s affordable 1080p HD indoor, plug-in security camera.
The combo deal is regularly priced at $110, so this is a pretty hefty savings if you’re interested in smart security and Alexa.

Mesh Wi-Fi routers are becoming more and more affordable. The new Eero 6 system three-pack adds full support for Wi-Fi 6.
It’s not the best or most powerful mesh system, but if you have your heart set on Amazon’s latest Wi-Fi system, this sale saves $56 off the regular $279 price.
David Carnoy/CNET
The Fire HD 10 tablet delivers upgrades like USB-C charging and a faster processor for better performance. There’s also a 2-megapixel front camera and 32GB of memory in the regularly priced $150 base model.
The Fire HD 10 has the same better-than-1080p (1,900×1,200) display of the previous model and the same microSD expansion slot for additional storage up to 512GB. This sale saves nearly 50% off the regular price.
Amazon
Need something a bit more kid-friendly? The Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Edition tablet offers a 10.1-inch 1080p full HD display and 32GB of storage to support all their favorite shows and apps.
It also includes one year of Amazon’s Kids Plus subscription, a “Kid-Proof Case” with built-in stand, and two-year worry-free guarantee that replaces it if disaster strikes.
Sarah Tew
If the Fire HD 10 is a bit pricey for your toddler’s tablet, the Fire 7 Kids Edition is also on sale beginning Nov. 20 for $40 off the regular $100 price. You’ll still get the Amazon Kids Plus subscription, child-proof case and two-year guarantee.
The Fire 7 Kids Edition comes with 16GB of internal storage and up to seven hours of fun, a microSD card for up to 512GB of expandable storage and a screen with a 1,024×600-pixel resolution.
Blink
Blink Outdoor smart security cameras come in multiple kits, and though we don’t have pricing for each kit size, this sale offers up to $130 on a set. The largest kit available (and likely the $130 off deal) is a five-camera option.
Blink Outdoor cameras are wireless battery-powered HD security cameras that run for up to two years on the included two AA batteries. You can get motion-detection alerts on your phone with the option to customize motion zones in the Blink Home Monitor app, and these cameras work with Alexa for voice commands and smart home integration.
Chris Monroe/CNET
The Ring offers live 1080p video, motion alerts and two-way voice communication and a feature called Pre-Roll (when someone or something trips the motion sensor, you can see what happened before that). This deal saves nearly 50% off the regular $250 retail price and throws in an Echo Show 5 ($90 list price) to boot.
Note, the Ring Pro doesn’t have a rechargeable battery. If you can’t connect it to the existing doorbell wires at your front door, this isn’t the video doorbell for you.
Sarah Tew/CNET
The Fire TV Stick Lite is the most affordable way to put Amazon’s TV smarts in your home. There aren’t TV controls with this model, but you will get full HD, Alexa voice remote lite capability and access to thousands of TV channels and subscription options. Regularly $30, this sale cuts a decent $12 off the price.
Note there is also a sale beginning Nov. 20 for a Fire TV Stick Lite accessories bundle that includes the latest Fire TV Stick Lite, a remote case and Mission Cable USB power cable. Regularly priced at $63, it will be on sale for $50. You can see that deal here.
Tyler Lizenby/CNET
For just $2 more than the sale price on the new Fire TV Stick, you can upgrade to the 4K model to support even the swankiest streaming. You’ll get all the goodies baked into the Fire TV Stick with the added bonus of better video quality.
Regularly $50, this sale saves $20.
Amazon
If you still pull in live TV over the air, you can record shows and watch them any time with the Fire TV Recast DVR. This version has a 500GB hard drive (a full 1TB version is also available) with two tuners, so you can record two shows at once.
Sarah Tew/CNET
The updated Kindle joins the Black Friday sale list with a $30 discount. Adjustable brightness and an 8GB storage meets the basic needs of any digital reader. Upgrade your purchase with Kindle Unlimited and ad removal for an additional fee.
At this price, the Echo Buds are considerably cheaper than Apple’s stock AirPods, which aren’t sweatproof and don’t offer any kind of noise-canceling capabilities. You get both of those features here and more, including onboard Alexa.
Chris Monroe/CNET
Amazon’s Echo Flex is a clever little gadget, adding Alexa to a modular smart plug design. The plug itself can attach various augmentations, like an LED clock, a motion sensor or a night light. To get this little device, plus all of Alexa’s smarts, for only $10, is a solid deal.
Tyler Lizenby/CNET
The Amazon Echo Auto is a clever little device that ports Alexa into your car, letting the voice assistant speak and play music through your stereo. At $30 off, it’s a solid deal for anyone wanting to smarten up their non-voice-equipped car.
Huawei announced the Pura 70 series today, and once again offered no details regarding the chipsets. However, early benchrmarks confirmed they feature a new platform called Kirin 9010, which has an 8-core CPU, identified by apps as 12-core unit due to hyperthreading.
Hyperthreading is nothing new in the chipset industry, as the Taishan cores have been supporting the technology for some time; it has been part of the Kirin 9000s and now is a part of the 9010 as well.
First Geekbench results revealed a minor improvement in raw performance, coming from slightly faster core speeds. The numbers show improvement single digit percentage improvements in both single core and multi core tests.
Kirin 9010 vs Kirin 9000S on Geekbench
The actual octa-core combination of Kirin 9010 is as follows: one 2.30 GHz Taishan Big, three 2.18 GHz Taishan Mid and four 1.55 GHz Cortex-A510. The GPU remains Maleoon 910 at 750 MHz.
“You can save the world, or you can help punish it for its sins.” That’s the crux of Warhorse Studio’s “behemoth” of a sequel to 2018’s Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The sequel, which is slated for release later this year on PC, Xbox Series X|S and PS5 will be bigger, more fun, filled with adventure and more diverse thanks to its setting in the 15th century Bohemian city of Kuttenberg a city that creative director Daniel Vavra says is “really big, it’s even too big in my opinion.”
New weapons like the crossbow and primitive firearms will also make their debut in the continued story of the squire Henry (Tom McKay) and the knight he accompanies, Hans Capon (Luke Dale) as they leave the country behind.
Here’s the trailer, which features gameplay, cinematics and discussion from the actors and developers. Be sure to watch until the end to see the bit about the music. A full choir and orchestra in a beautiful Eastern European cathedral? Just gorgeous.
“What we are making now is what it was supposed to be in the beginning, but we weren’t able to do it because we didn’t have enough resources and experiences and all that stuff,” Vavra says in the video. “We’ve proven the concept works, so now we can take it to another level, which is what we always wanted.”
“This is a behemoth of a game in comparison to the first. In my opinion I think it’s got so much more energy and pace and adventure and action and fun and trial and tribulation and everything you can want,” McKay says in the video.
The game will be “much bigger in scope” with a more in-depth story and a world roughly twice the size of the first. The story has evolved from a small-scale conflict to one about “the problem with kings,” Vavra says.

Kingdom Come Deliverance II, like the first game, is not a fantasy RPG like Skyrim or The Witcher, but one that attempts to create a historically accurate world down to the weapons, costumes, locations and people. There are no magicians or dragons or elves here—but there will be plenty of adventure, exploration and knight errantry.
Pretty exciting!
While it’s true that high-end TVs seem to be getting ever bigger, they still can’t compete with the best projectors when it comes to image size. If you choose a good 4K projector you’ll even get top-notch image quality as well. Right now you can pick one of those projectors up and save a whopping $700 to boot. That’s possible thanks to an Amazon deal that slashes the Xgimi Horizon Pro projector’s price to just $999, a return to its best price ever there. This deal doesn’t require you to enter any pesky codes or clip any coupons, but these kinds of limited-time deals also don’t have a published end date which means that this discount could end at any minute and without warning — be sure to keep that in mind.
The Xgimi Horizon Pro 4K has a ton of features that make it a great option for anyone looking to upgrade their old projector or make the jump from a big-screen TV. The 4K resolution and support for HDR ensure you’ll get a great picture, while the ultra-bright 1,500 ISO lumens mean you won’t find yourself squinting at a dark image. Other features of note include auto keystone correction and an autofocus capability. And we didn’t even get to the fact that this projector can generate a 200-inch image yet, either.
Looking to enjoy content without the hassle of wires? This projector has Android TV built in so you can enjoy any of the more than 5,000 Google Play apps while Chomecast support is built-in as well.
Alternatively, the Xgimi Halo Plus projector is our top pick for a portable 1080p projector, making it great for camping trips and more — and right now a 23% discount means you can get one for just $650. Finally, the Xgimi MoGo2 is another protector designed to help you want content on the go and now it’s available at almost its best price yet at just $250.
Not sure that a projector is for you but still want to enjoy a great picture? Our list of the best OLED TV deals is just the ticket.
