Preparing for Prime Day (which goes live on July 12th and runs through the 13th) is a balancing act. There’s little point in over-preparing for Amazon’s massively popular annual sales event – you never know exactly what you might find or how long it’ll be available – but the greatest Prime Day successes require a bit of research ahead of time, especially if you’re on the hunt for Amazon device deals.
While Amazon-branded devices are undoubtedly the bread and butter of Prime Day, available sales and products can still change in the blink of an eye. It’s worth figuring out what you’re looking for and how much you’re willing to spend ahead of time. If you’re set on a specific Fire tablet or Echo Show, add your choice picks to your Amazon cart before July 12th. Prime Day moves quickly, but so does our community of research-oriented deal hunters — the Slickdeals Frontpage is a one-stop-shop for real-time updates on the best Prime Day device deals according to our userbase.
Our Prime Day Amazon Device Deal Predictions
Score Hot Deals on Large Screen Fire TVs in July
Fire TVs are well-represented among Amazon’s lineup of early Prime Day deals, so it’s pretty safe to assume that Amazon’s signature 4K smart TVs will feature prominently during Prime Day.
If past Prime Day events are any indication, large-screen TVs tend to receive the heftiest discount percentages (think 50″, 60″ and larger)! You can expect to see a diverse selection of sizes, price points, and models (which often include Fire TV-supported third-party brands such as Insignia).
Save on Home Security Systems and Cancel Porch Pirates
If you’ve been meaning to beef up your home security set-up (or build a new system entirely), Prime Day is the perfect time to save a few bucks on doorbell cameras and other security devices from Amazon brands like Ring and Blink. If you prioritize discount value over owning shiny new tech, keep an eye on devices from older generations, refurbished security system components and multi-camera bundle deals.
This year, buy your system on sale in July and thwart porch pirates throughout the 2022 holiday season and into 2023.
Look for eero Wi-Fi Systems and Smart Home Devices on Sale
It’s pretty hard to clinch those fast-paced Prime Day flash deals on a poor Wi-Fi connection. Don’t get caught in a dead zone — Prime Day is a terrific time to save on eero mesh Wi-Fi systems, routers and range extenders. Thanks to its built-in Zigbee smart home interface, you can turn your eero Wi-Fi system into a full-fledged smart home hub by connecting a few Alexa devices.
Don’t Miss Out on 50% Off Tablets for Adults and Kids
Unless you’ve already set your sights on a brand new Fire 7 Tablet (which comes out on June 29th), Prime Day might be the perfect time to score a sizeable discount on previous models and refurbished units — Prime members saved 50% on Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablets during last year’s Prime Day 2021 event.
The Latest Echo Smart Devices Could Be ‘Free’ Again This Year
If our historic coverage of Prime Day is any indication, there will be no shortage of ways to save on Echo devices. The heftiest Echo discounts (which sometimes amount to “free,” if you spot a lucky smart home bundle deal) typically fall on smaller speakers like the Echo Dot and Echo Dot Kids.
Also look for the possibility of saving big on Echo Frames (impressive Smart audio glasses with Alexa built-in) and other “experimental” Amazon tech — especially if it was “too new” for Prime Day in previous years, making Prime Day the perfect day to get your holiday shopping done way before the summer even ends.
Find Fitness Tech Deals to Measure How You Move and Sleep
You can’t put a price on good health or effortless, on-demand access to your own biological data and personalized exercise regimen, but scoring a sweet fitness tracker deal during Prime Day is another story. Amazon’s new Halo Fitness Tracker debuted after Prime Day 2021, so we hope to see historic low prices on Amazon’s unique take on the always-on fitness band.
Get Cashback on Prime Day Purchases to Save More
Thanks to the new 1-Click Activate Cashback Rewards program from the Slickdeals app and website, stacking up those sweet Prime Day cashback savings is easier than ever. Every Amazon device purchase qualifies for cashback points, which can be redeemed for PayPal credit and gift cards from Amazon and other retailers.
