While there are no big Amazon shopping events on the horizon (until October, that is), you still have plenty of opportunities to save on top products. Even on a random Tuesday in August, there a huge discounts on brands like Apple, Samsung, Shark, and more. And we’ve already done the digging for you — all you have to do is add them to your cart.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day on Aug. 6. And be sure to check back at our picks from Aug. 5 as well, since many of those are still live.
Our top pick
Once again, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra — aka “the best Android phone,” according to Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon — has hit a new record-low price. Beating out its Prime Day price, the 256GB, unlocked version is down to just $949 as of Aug. 6. That’s 27% in savings. The phone was just released earlier this year and it packs a bunch of neat AI features, a durable titanium design, and a rear telephoto lens with truly insane zoom capabilities. It’s also a close rival to the iPhone 15 Pro Max (and maybe even better in certain categories) if you’re in the market for a new phone.
Apple is at it again. The “stupidly comfy” AirPods Max are back on sale for just $399.99 — that’s just $5 shy of their Prime Day price. While definitely overpriced on a regular day, Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder insists that they “sound amazing, look good, and play nice with Apple gadgetry.” With a 27% discount, we’re much more likely to grab a pair.
Launched last summer, the Shark SmoothStyle is essentially a fancier version of the Revlon One-Step. It serves as a round hot air brush at its core, but also packs some extra features. You can use it wet or dry to style your hair in one go without frying it. And the ceramic-coated plates will prevent it from damaging your precious strands. Usually, it goes for $100, but you can get the device itself and a storage bag (a $119.99 value) for just $79.99 as of Aug. 6.
Need an extra hand in the cleaning department? The Roborock Q Revo offers both vacuuming and mopping, making it one helluva companion for your home. Plus, it’s back on sale for its all-time low Prime Day pricing. While it may not be the top robovac in the brand’s lineup, it still packs 5500Pa extreme suction, dual spinning mops, reactive tech obstacle avoidance, smart suggestions, no-go zones, voice-commands and shortcuts, self-washing, drying, emptying, and refilling features, and more. As of Aug. 6, it’s on sale for just $659.99 — that’s about 27% in savings.

While our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis) called Samsung’s T5 EVO portable SSD a “tough sell” at full price, we’re much more inclined to recommend it with its current discount. “The T5 EVO is a good (though not cost-effective) upgrade to a spinning hard drive, giving users a boost in both speed and capacity,” PCMag’s review states, but “you may want to hold off on buying it until it goes on sale.” The 4TB option is usually $424.99, but you can scoop it up for only $229.99 as of Aug. 6 — that’s 46% in savings and its lowest price on record.
