The best deals you can get ahead of Amazon’s October Prime Day sale

In case you missed the news, Amazon recently announced a second Prime Day event for the fall. The two-day deal blitz, dubbed Prime Big Deal Days once again, will run from October 8th through the 9th, offering Prime subscribers a chance to save on all sorts of tech ahead of Black Friday. It’s still a few weeks away, but in typical fashion, Amazon has already rolled out a selection of early deals and discounts.

Admittedly, there aren’t that many gadgets on sale yet — and we’ll likely start to see better deals trickle in as we get closer to the event — but we’ve still managed to dig up a few solid deals, particularly for those already embedded in the Amazon ecosystem. These include sizable discounts on the new Echo Hub and Amazon’s latest Echo Show 8, as well as Fire tablets, streaming devices, mesh routers, and more.

Below, we’ve rounded the best discounts currently available ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. We’ll be updating this guide as more deals drop, so be sure to bookmark this page and keep checking back in the run-up to October.
