Prime Day Day 3 Discounts Hit Echo Shows and More

Echo Show 11 just hit its best price ever during Prime Day Day 3.

Day three of Amazon’s four-day Prime Day sale is turning into a catalog of bargains on TVs, chargers, headphones, and especially smart home gear. The Verge notes that the third day is still rich with deals, with many items sitting at or near all-time lows as shoppers chase the last big savings before the event ends. It’s a reminder that Prime Day remains a focused sprint for tech buys rather than a blanket Black Friday in July, but one that can matter if you’ve been waiting for a particular gadget to dip below its ceiling price.

Among the standout offers, the Echo Show line commands a lot of attention because it blends display, voice control, and smart home hub functionality. The Echo Show 8 (2025) is highlighted for its updated 8.7-inch display, which offers wider viewing angles, higher contrast, and a 13-megapixel camera. It’s packaged with improved stereo speakers and support for Alexa Plus, while also serving as a central hub for Zigbee, Matter, and Thread devices. On Prime Day, the Echo Show 8 is listed at $124.99 on Amazon, down from $179.99, though price tags at Best Buy and Target stay at $179.99. The pricing reflects a broader push to position smart displays not just as screens for video calls or recipes, but as key pieces in a connected home.

The Echo Show 11 is the other big draw in the lineup, with Amazon offering it for $149.99, an $80 discount that marks the best price the model has ever seen. Shoppers get a larger, sharper 1080p display that’s well suited to multitasking between video streaming, dashboards, and smart home controls from a single, central interface. The 11-inch form factor makes it a compelling option for kitchens or living rooms where a wider control surface helps manage lighting, cameras, and routines without juggling multiple devices.

Rounding out the Echo slate, the Echo Show 5 is on sale for $59.99, a $30 cut from its typical price. The compact 5.5-inch display focuses on quick commands and bedside or desk tasks, proving that Prime Day’s smart display deals aren’t just about the biggest screens but about accessible entry points into a more automated home.

Beyond the Echo family, the Prime Day coverage continues to emphasize that electronics across TVs, smart home gadgets, chargers, and headphones are seeing notable discounts. The Verge notes that many of these items are at, or near, all-time low prices, and that the event’s four-day cadence helps sustain momentum even as the spotlight shifts toward different categories. Shoppers who’ve tracked price histories, especially through the RAMageddon era that sent memory prices around and contributed to earlier volatility, may view Prime Day Day 3 as an occasion to grab items at prices that feel like a relapsed pullback to earlier levels, rather than a one-time fluke.

But the shopping landscape remains nuanced. While the discounts are real, they come with tradeoffs that seasoned deal hunters watch for: stock levels can wax and wane, and not every retailer carries the same markdowns. The Echo Show models, for instance, may be more attractive in some stores than others, and the best price might be concentrated on one retailer for a limited window. It’s a reminder that the savings are real, but they reward careful comparison shopping and timely purchasing.

What to watch next: if you’re considering a smart display, this is a moment where the value proposition goes beyond price. The Echo Show devices’ hub capabilities bake in future-proofing for a smart home that includes Zigbee, Matter, and Thread, which can reduce a buyer’s need for extra hubs or bridges down the line. For big-ticket electronics, keep an eye on whether the best price endures as stock fluctuates and the event edge winds down. Prime Day Day 3 is delivering the kind of window shoppers crave, a mix of proven devices at enticing prices, with the caveat that the best deals may run out as merchandise moves through the checkout lanes.
