The deals are definitely dealing at Amazon this week, y’all. Between Apple’s “Glowtime” event triggering price drops of older gadgets, Amazon discounting its own gadgets just because, and Samsung simply trying to keep up, we’ve been dealt a handful of epic deals on Sept. 10.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these are in your realm, check back at yesterday’s picks that are still live.
Our top pick
Samsung’s latest and greatest tablet just got its biggest discount to date. As of Sept. 10, the 256GB, WiFi model of the Galaxy Tab S9+ is on sale for only $699.99 instead of $999.99. That’s 30% in savings and its lowest price on record. It comes as no surprise, however, as rumors are floating around that the new S10 series is expected to drop next month. The S9 series debuted last August and it’s still an impressive purchase. It features the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, a new Dynamic AMOLED 2X 12.4-inch display, and an IP68 water- and dust-proof rating (a first for the Galaxy Tab S). And our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis) dubbed it a “great alternative to the iPad Pro, especially for Windows users.”
Designed for 6- to 12-year-olds, the Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro is our favorite tablet for kids. It features a 10.1-inch 1080p full HD display, 3GB of RAM, a lighter design, up to 13 hours of battery life, and is 25 percent faster than the previous generation. And, of course, like other Amazon tablets for kids, its durable case (with a built-in kickstand) can withstand all kinds of adventures and mishaps. Your purchase unlocks a free year of Amazon Kids+ as well, which offers access to over 20,000 books, games, and educational apps. Save 26% as of Sept. 10 and pick up the tablet on sale for just $139.99.
A tale as old as time: Apple announces a new product and the old one goes on sale. Yesterday, at the brand’s “Glowtime” event, a new version of the AirPods Max was announced (they swapped the Lightning port for a USB-C port). Hence, the old ones are back down to just $399 at Amazon. 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 this 27% discount, we’re more inclined to grab a pair — although, this price only applies to the pink version as of Sept. 10.
July’s Galaxy Unpacked event announced the Galaxy Watch 7, which is good news for anyone looking for a Galaxy Watch 6. The 47mm Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is now down to a record-low $297.68 at Amazon as of Sept. 10. That’s 31% in savings. The Classic model still offers the same suite of features as the Watch 6, including a nuanced breakdown of sleep habits, sleep coaching, personalized heart rate zones, irregular heart rate notifications, and a 20 percent larger display. Where it differs is its “deluxe design that brings back the beloved rotating bezel,” as our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis) noted in their review.

Basically a fancier version of the Revlon One-Step, the Shark SmoothStyle serves as a round hot air brush that can dry and style your hair in one go. Unlike the One-Step, however, it offers specific “Wet Hair” and “Dry Hair” modes to style your hair without frying it. Plus, the ceramic-coated plates add some extra protection for your precious strands. It usually goes for $100, but you can get the SmoothStyle and a storage bag (a $119.99 value total) for just $79.99 as of Sept. 10.
