Amazon Prime Day is quickly approaching, but early deals have already started to emerge. While the main event is expected to have discounts on a wide range of products, the early deals give shoppers a glimpse of what to expect. Typically, these early deals feature Amazon-owned devices and brands, but more deals from other brands like Sony and Bose are expected to be announced soon.
One early deal that stands out is the discounted price of the kid edition of the fifth-gen Echo Dot. Currently available for $27.99 ($32 off), this version of Amazon’s popular smart speaker comes in adorable patterns and includes a one-year membership to Amazon Kids Plus, providing access to kid-friendly games and audiobooks. What’s more, Amazon offers a two-year replacement plan if the device breaks.
Another early deal worth considering is the Echo Pop bundle, which includes the new compact smart speaker and a wired Ring Video Doorbell. Priced at $39.99 for Prime members, this deal effectively gives you the doorbell for free. While the Ring Video Doorbell may not be the best on the market, it offers decent video quality as a bundled freebie. The Echo Pop, on the other hand, features a unique look, good sound quality, and Alexa support.
For parents looking for a kid-friendly device, the latest Kindle Paperwhite Kids edition is available at a steep discount on Amazon. Priced at just $89.99 ($70 off), this e-reader lacks ads and comes with a cute cover/protective case. The device offers excellent battery life, an ad-free reading experience, and a backlit screen.

Prime members in the market for a new TV can consider the 75-inch Fire TV Omni QLED. Currently priced at $899.99 ($200 off), this jumbo TV offers support for 4K resolution, HDR with full array local dimming, and a 60Hz refresh rate. While it may not be the best TV for gaming, it provides a good and bright display for watching movies and TV shows.
Amazon is also offering up to a 50 percent discount on its range of Fire HD Kids tablets for Prime members. Options include the 2022 Amazon Fire HD 7 for $54.99 ($55 off) and the larger 2021 Fire HD 10 Pro for $119.99 ($80 off). These tablets are designed for different age groups and come with built-in parental software controls for a safe and age-appropriate user experience.
In addition to these early deals, Amazon is also offering other discounts and perks exclusively for Prime members. For example, the 32-inch Fire TV 2-Series is currently priced at $129.99 ($70 off), making it a good option for smaller spaces. The Luna controller, which can be used for cloud game streaming on Luna, PC, or Mac, is available for $39.99 ($30 off) for Prime members.
There are also “Buy with Prime” deals, which offer special promotional pricing for Prime members directly from manufacturers’ sites. For example, Prime members can get discounted prices on Anker batteries by using specific codes at checkout. Additionally, Prime members who download the Amazon Photos app and upload their first photo can receive a $15 Amazon credit.
Prime subscribers can also take advantage of a three-month free trial for Kindle Unlimited, giving them access to a large library of e-books and audiobooks.
While these early deals are enticing, it’s worth noting that prices may drop even further during the actual Prime Day event. In such cases, customers may need to repurchase items at the new discounted price and return the previously purchased item. It’s important to remember that Amazon does not offer price matching or price protection policies.
As July 11th approaches, it’s safe to assume that more deals will be announced, especially from popular brands like Sony and Bose. This year’s Prime Day is expected to bring some worthwhile discounts on a wide range of products, including wireless earbuds, noise-canceling headphones, tablets, TVs, smart home tech, games, and other gadgets. Whether you take advantage of the early deals or wait for the main event, Prime Day offers an opportunity to grab some great deals on Amazon.
