One look at our list of Amazon Echo deals is likely enough to inform you that there is no shortage of Alexa-powered smart speakers and touchscreen displays to choose from. But the fun doesn’t stop when you leave the home! Thanks to Amazon’s dedication to all things tech, you’ll be able to pick up a pair of Amazon Echo Frames for improved eyesight and a bevy of other great features.

As a matter of fact, when you order the Amazon Echo Frames (3rd Gen) through Amazon, you’ll knock $100 off these $300 glasses, but only for a limited time.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Frames (3rd Gen)

This iteration of the Echo Frames uses blue light filtering to reduce how much strain your pupils experience when viewing phone, tablet, TV, and laptop screens. These lenses also contain an anti-glare seal for keeping ambient light at bay.

One of the premiere features of the Echo Frames (3rd Gen) is that they’re equipped with an open-ear audio system. Sound is directed to your ears via the Frames, and noise-canceling tech kicks in during phone calls to ensure the person you’re talking to hears you loud and clear. Speaking of which, you can use the Frames to make calls, and even for listening to music and podcasts.

Available in a number of fantastic styles, you’ll be able to order these glasses with several different lens types, too. The latest generation of this device includes revamped temple button controls (as opposed to the touchpad on older models), Bluetooth Multipoint, and expanded battery life. Oh, and it also comes with a nifty wireless charger!

It’s hard to say how long this markdown is going to last, but Amazon deals like this one may not stick around for long. Not to mention, we’re right in the throes of Amazon’s October Big Deal Day pre-savings, which means the Echo Frames could potentially sell out. That being said, now could be the best time to save $100 on the Amazon Echo Frames (3rd Gen).

And if you’re a big fan of wearable tech, you should take a gander at the best smartwatch deals we’ve been keeping tabs on, too!

Cost-cutting strips Pixel 9a of the best Gemini AI features in Pixel 9

The Pixel 9a has been officially revealed, and while it's an eye candy, there are some visible cutbacks over the more premium Pixel 9 and 9 Pro series phones. The other cutbacks we don't see include lower RAM than the Pixel 9 phones, which can limit the new mid-ranger's ability to run AI applications, despite running the same Tensor G4 chipset.

Google's decision to limit the RAM to 8GB, compared to the 12GB on the more premium Pixel 9 phones, sacrifices its ability to run certain AI tasks locally. ArsTechnica has reported that as a result of the cost-cutting, Pixel 9a runs an "extra extra small" or XXS variant -- instead of the "extra small" variant on Pixel 9 -- of the Gemini Nano 1.0 model that drives on-device AI functions.
