Amazon Prime Day — the event where the mega-retailer slashes the prices of an endless array of products — begins in the UK tomorrow, on Tuesday, Oct. 13. Technically it lasts for two days, though some of the best savings, including tech like headphones, smart speakers, cameras, TVs and more, will last all week — and some notable deals are already available.
Amazon’s own devices (such as Kindle, Echo and Ring) always offer sure-fire bargains, but you can expect big deals on other brands including Sony, Bose, Toshiba and many others. As the name suggests, you have to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of the savings.
But while the big Prime Day sale isn’t set to start until tomorrow, savvy UK shoppers can already find some great deals and get an early start to their Christmas shopping. Check out our picks of the best Amazon Prime Day deals below, and make sure to bookmark this page as we’ll be highlighting the best savings on all things tech throughout the week.
Note that pricing below assumes you have an Amazon Prime membership (GBP8 a month or GBP80 a year). Pricing was accurate at the time of publication but may fluctuate without warning. We’ll be updating this story with the best UK Prime Day deals we find throughout the week.
