Amazon’s Echo Hub has plunged to a new low price ahead of Prime Day

The Echo Hub on a table.

Amazon’s early Prime Day sale started off slow, but as the event draws closer to its official kickoff on July 8th, it’s beginning to pick up steam. Right now, for example, Prime members can grab an Amazon Echo Hub at Amazon for just $119.99 ($60 off), marking a new low price.

As you might expect, Amazon’s controller makes managing your smart home a breeze. Rather than switching between apps or using voice commands, the Echo Hub allows you to control your smart home from a single, easy-to-use interface. With just a tap of its eight-inch touchscreen, anyone at home can turn on lights, adjust the smart thermostat, or view a live feed from their video doorbell or security camera. If you use Alexa Routines, you can even create personalized shortcuts to automate multiple tasks, meaning you can dim the lights, lock the doors, and adjust the thermostat with just a single tap. And while it works best with other Amazon devices, what makes it a terrific value is that it also supports both Matter and Thread, allowing you to connect it to platforms beyond Alexa.

As an added bonus, the Echo Hub can function like a stripped-down Echo Show, one you can power via a single ethernet cable and place either on your counter or mount on your wall for a cleaner, more streamlined setup. You can also use it to showcase favorite photos, check your to-do list, play music, and even stream videos. The sound quality isn’t as impressive as it is on Amazon’s newer smart displays — and it lacks support for video calls — but it makes up for it by offering a more private, distraction-free experience that’s void of both ads and unwanted cameras.

Read our Echo Hub review. A few additional deals If you’re looking for a location tracker that works with both Apple’s Find My network and Google’s, the Pebblebee Clip Universal is available for an all-time low of $27.99 ($7 off) from Best Buy and Pebblebee (with code FREEDOMTOFIND20). It’s a great option for mixed-platform households and comes packed with useful features for keeping track of your valuables, including an LED light, support for Alexa and Google Assistant, and even a “Find Phone” feature that lets you locate your phone using the tracker. Plus, unlike Apple’s AirTag, it includes a snap-on key ring, so you won’t need to buy a separate accessory to attach it. You can buy the Apple Pencil Pro at Amazon, Walmart, and Target for $99 ($30 off), which is $10 shy of its all-time low. Unlike the more affordable USB-C Apple Pencil, Apple’s step-up stylus offers Find My support, pressure sensitivity, a gyroscope, and support for squeeze gestures that can even be used to control your smart home. Just keep in mind that the stylus isn’t compatible with all iPads — it only works with the latest iPad Pro, iPad Mini, and M2- or M3-powered iPad Air models. BuyDig is selling LG’s 65-inch C4 OLED TV with a $75 Visa gift card for $1,296.99 (about $1,400 off), which is one of its better prices to date. LG’s latest OLED panels are both brighter and faster, but the last-gen C4 still offers plenty of gamer-friendly features, including a fast 144Hz refresh rate and support for both AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync for smoother, more responsive gameplay. It also supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, making it ideal for a wide range of content.
