Is tech really cheaper on Prime Day? 

Yes, you can find lots of tech for cheaper prices during Amazon Prime Day. Sometimes, you can find tech for cheaper at other retailers, since they’re all competing with one another. During this sale, some companies will offer bundles, freebies, or lower prices to entice you to buy directly from them instead of Amazon.

We’re monitoring everyone’s sale prices leading up to the sale to update you on the most worthwhile ones.

How did we choose these Walmart deals?

ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. We scour the sale offerings from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and more to let you decide where you’d rather purchase from.

We also keep an eye on deals from brands and manufacturers of our favorite products, as sometimes they offer free gifts and bundle sales during Amazon’s sale event. We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
