Prime Day 2020 is almost here, after months of delays.
Amazon’s annual sale event has become a marquee shopping day. It’s grown rapidly, in both popularity and its running length, since its inception in July 2015, with last year’s event bringing in over $7 billion in sales. That’s no surprise, though, as it usually offers some of the cheapest prices you will ever see on Amazon.
Although Prime Day 2020 doesn’t kick off until Oct.13 at 3am ET, Amazon has a few things discounted already, to help drum up interest. The deals include Amazon’s Echo Show 5 as well as third-party devices such as TVs and much more.
ZDNet is rounding up our selection for the best early Prime Day deals, below.
