Are you ready to snap up a selection of bargains from one of the biggest sale events of the year? If you have cash burning a hole in your wallet and can’t wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, get ready for Amazon Prime Day, taking place on July 11 and 12.

The huge sale by the world’s most popular eCommerce platform kicks off at 11:00 in the UAE (10:00 in Saudi Arabia) on Tuesday, July 11, with huge discounts offered to Amazon Prime members on a wide range of products.

We have yet to hear details about what will be on sale, but based on past Prime Days, Amazon’s own range of devices are likely to see the largest discounts. Last year, Amazon began offering great deals on Echo speakers, Alexa-enabled devices, and Eero routers in late June, so keep a close eye out for bargains as we countdown to the main event.

In addition to physical products, we’re expecting discounts on Prime Video and Amazon Music Unlimited subscriptions, plus invite-only deals allowing Prime members to sign up in advance for offers that are expected to sell out.

As well as Amazon-branded products, the two-day sale will offer steep discounts on a wide range of electronics, including 4K TVs, robot vacuums, headphones, laptops, and much more. Although readers are probably most interested in grabbing a tech bargain, there will also likely be plenty of great deals to be had on homeware, toys, beauty products, and most other product categories.

Prime Day will be available to Prime members in 25 countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, in the MENA region.

samsung smart glasses teased for january software reveal imminent

Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.

As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

Just in: Samsung is set to unveil a prototype of its augmented reality (AR) glasses, currently in development, during the Galaxy S25 Unpacked event early next year, likely in the form of videos or images.

Additionally, prior to revealing the prototype, Samsung plans to introduce…

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.

A Collaborative Software Effort

Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.

Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.

Feature Set And Compatibility

The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
