Prime Day Big Deals have just begun, and what better way to kick things off than with the DJI Neo 4K mini drone, priced at just $159 (was $199)? This featherweight 135g beast can be launched directly from your hand, with no controller necessary. It’s got that 4K UHD camera punch for buttery-smooth, wind-bucking footage thanks to a single-axis gimbal and DJI’s stabilization wizardry. RockSteady and HorizonBalancing modes keep everything level, even if you’re filming from a hammock, while AI-powered subject tracking and QuickShots like Dronie, Rocket, or a spiraling Helix orbit, turn your awkward family selfies into cinematic masterpieces.

5. ROVE R2-4K Dual Dashcam – $199.99 $99.99
The Rove R2-4K Dual Dashcam has a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor up front at 2160p and rear at 1080p, both with wide-angle views—150 degrees front to catch every lane-drift drama, 140 degrees rear to capture parking lot mayhem. It’s got F1.5 aperture to devour low-light scraps for good night footage, WDR to prevent the sun from washing out your license-plate evidence and a supercapacitor heart that can handle extreme temps.
Setup is easy, with suction-cup flexibility up front and sticky permanence in back, as well as a supplied 128GB microSD card, so you can start recording loops right away. The built-in GPS does more than just geotag your speed-demon detours and compass-confused U-turns on camera; it’s watermarked right there so you don’t have to play detective afterward.
Featuring a 3-inch IPS screen that shows live feeds, dual-band 5G/2.4GHz WiFi for connecting to the ROVE app and voice commands so you can yell “record now” without lifting a finger from the wheel. Did someone mention G-sensor? It’s the nosy neighbor of impact detectors, locks clips during collisions and brings the front camera to life in less than 2 seconds when motion is detected.

4. 7th Gen iPad Mini (A17 Pro) – $499 $379
Apple’s iPad mini 7 has the A17 Pro chip from the iPhone 15 Pro, offering a big performance boost over the previous model – 30% faster 6 core CPU, 25% faster 5 core GPU and 16 core Neural Engine – that lets you take advantage of full Apple Intelligence features like on device image generation, text summarization and enhanced Siri. Double the RAM to 8GB for smoother multitasking and hardware accelerated ray tracing for console level gaming in titles like Resident Evil Village or Death Stranding. This base 128GB storage model can handle apps, 4K videos and large media libraries without compromise. At 293g and 8.3mm it’s all screen with squared edges and Touch ID on the top button for secure fingerprint unlocking as well as Apple Pay.
The 8.3 inch Liquid Retina display is still great at 2266×1488 resolution with 326 ppi, P3 broad color gamut, True Tone and 500 nits for outdoor readability but the refresh rate is limited to 60Hz without ProMotion. Camera wise, it boasts a 12MP rear Wide sensor for 4K video at 60fps and a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage to keep you framed during calls. Upgrades to connectivity include Wi-Fi 6E for faster and more reliable streaming, Bluetooth 5.3 and USB-C with 10Gbps speeds for fast file transfers and 20W charging. Battery life is up to 10 hours of video playback on a single charge. Product page.
3. Google Pixel 9a – $499 – $349
The Google Pixel 9a glides into the mid-range market with the same Tensor G4 chip as its more expensive Pixel 9 brothers. You get 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, all housed in a lightweight 186g body that’s 8.9mm thick and IP68 dust-and-water resistance—durable enough to withstand a rogue coffee spill. It guarantees seven years of operating system and security upgrades straight from Android 15, ensuring that your phone does not become a digital dinosaur by 2032.
But the real magic—and the reason it has that “aha!” grin factor—is in the camera and AI shenanigans that punch way beyond their weight class. The 6.3-inch Actua display (1080×2424 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 2700 nits peak brightness) is a brilliant improvement for binge-watching or selfie editing without squinting, and it’s covered by scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 3 that withstands daily dings like a pro. Snap away with the 48MP main back camera (f/1.7, OIS for steady images) and 13MP ultrawide for panoramic group photos that actually fit everyone in, as well as a 13MP front camera for video calls that don’t make you seem like a potato. Night Sight and the A-series premiere of Astrophotography mode transform starry skies into printable masterpieces, while Magic Editor lets you Photoshop anyone out of photos with a tap.
Then there’s Gemini Nano for on-device intelligence: Call Screen for polite AI shutdowns of ghost spammers, Pixel Call Assist for clearer conversations, and Adaptive Battery, which gets more than 30 hours out of the 5100mAh cell (up to 100 in Extreme Saver mode). Product page.

This drive weighs 2.67 pounds and features a sleek black shell that measures 6.53 x 5.31 x 1.89 inches, allowing it to fit beneath your desk.
