An unexpected hit of Amazon Prime Day 2026 is the Xteink X4, a tiny e-reader that has proven surprisingly popular with Verge readers. Alongside it, Birdbuddy's camera-equipped smart bird feeder has emerged as another top seller, catching the attention of tech enthusiasts.
The Verge compiled this list of trending products by observing what their own readers, who spend considerable time evaluating technology, are actually purchasing. These purchases serve as a real-time indicator of perceived value beyond the site's own expert recommendations.
Hoto's 3.6V Electric Screwdriver Kit Pro is also seeing strong demand. The rechargeable tool offers three torque modes and a rotational speed of up to 220RPM, making it suitable for small repairs around the house.
The popularity of these items suggests shoppers are prioritizing practical, everyday tools alongside more traditional Prime Day electronics like AirPods and Kindles. Readers appear to be seeking out deals on products that solve specific, niche problems.
