Check out these deals on Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Recast DVR and Fire TV Cube.
As we count down the days to Prime Day 2019, which we expect to come sometime in mid-July, we're already seeing discounts on a variety of Amazon devices. At the moment, most of the deals are on the company's media streamers. And some, but not all, of them are exclusive to members of Amazon's Prime service. We've rounded them up below. Whether you're buying a graduation gift for seeking out early Father's Day deals, these are all pretty great prices.
Amazon also recently updated its $50 Fire 7 tablet -- but that one can dip down as low as $35 during sales, so you might want to wait before picking that up.
Note that CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page.
Prime members only: Fire TV Stick for $25 (save $15)

The Fire TV Stick isn't quite as good as Roku in our book, but it's better than Chromecast at the same price. If you're a fan of Alexa or deep into Amazon's ecosystem anyway and want to give one as a gift, this is a good deal. This deal matches the Black Friday/Cyber Monday price.
This deal is available only to Amazon Prime members.
If you're upgrading from Apple Photos or Google Photos, you'll face a fork in the road: Lightroom or Lightroom Classic. Adobe released a slew of Lightroom updates last week. But one thing didn't change: the awkward split between two versions of the photo editing and cataloging software. Lightroom got its start in 2006 on MacOS and later Windows, storing the photo library right there on your personal computer. But modernizing for smartphones, tablets and cloud computing put Adobe in a pickle. It needed to decide whether to retool the existing Lightroom software or make a fresh start. Adobe chose a combination of both routes, forcing Lightroom customers to make the decision instead. If you want more power than Apple Photos or Google Photos can offer, you must choose between the newer, internet-savvy Lightroom and the older, beefier version now called Lightroom Classic. And you must choose carefully because moving your photos from one to the other isn't eas...
With vocal skeptics now abundant, the early, easy days of the blockchain revolution are over. But Ed Felten, a Princeton professor who also served as deputy chief technology officer in the Barack Obama White House, thinks his startup has an answer for some of the database technology's problems. He co-founded the six-person Offchain Labs to try to profit from technology called Arbitrum that moves a lot of blockchain transactions into a separate domain. That liberates them from the slow transaction speeds and data-privacy problems that burden the Ethereum Project while still linking with that widely used blockchain foundation, Felten said. "It is our goal to operate at the speed of native processing -- as fast as the computer you have, but in a blockchain setting," Felten said. For nontechies, blockchain is about as exciting an innovation as double-ledger accounting, but it could dramatically cut problems like transaction fees, counterfeit concert tickets a...
When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Fold , it didn't just announce another phone -- it kicked off a revolution in the way we interact with mobile devices. But the Fold soon suffered screen breakages and other glitches , and the revolution stalled. It's been nearly four weeks since we've heard any details from Samsung about the Fold. An AT&T email to customers suggested that the phone would come next month. Samsung mobile CEO D.J. Koh said it "will not be too late." And a Samsung spokeswoman told CNET only that the company plans to announce the release date "in the coming weeks." Consumers, industry players and reviewers alike are waiting with bated breath. If Samsung wants to ensure that the Fold is free of problems, it should spend the appropriate time and resources on fixing everything, regardless of internal deadlines or pressure from carrier partners, consumers or the press. Samsung needs to get the Galaxy Fold ...
