Prime Day Preview 2020: Amazon details upcoming deals

Now that we’re just in a few days away from this year’s Amazon Prime Day event, we’re getting a clearer picture of what deals we can expect across the 48-hour sale. This morning, as it does each year, Amazon released a comprehensive list of what deals will be available next Tuesday and Wednesday. Price drops are expected to come into effect on October 13 at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT. This year’s event, although it’s been delayed, is still looking like it’s going to be particularly notable as Amazon is setting up to drop prices on its entire line of Echo speakers, Fire TV streamers, and much more. Full details are below.

Amazon reveals Prime Day’s best deals

Ahead of Amazon launching Prime Day on October 13, it will be rolling out select early offers to Echo users. Starting on October 11, Alexa shoppers will be able to ask, “Alexa, what are my Prime Day deals?” and score some early price drops on this year’s newest tech. Amazon has made this maneuver in the past, so it’s not really a surprise.

First-party Amazon devices take center stage

As expected, Amazon is going to offer up big discounts on its first-party devices throughout Prime Day. While we expected to see several price drops, it looks like at this point that the latest smart speakers from Amazon will not be privy to Prime Day discounts. However, that may change.

Among a long list of upcoming sale prices is the third-generation Echo Dot, which will be marked down to $19 during Prime Day. Regularly $50, this deal beats the best we’ve seen by $1 and marks a new all-time low. The latest version of Echo Dot won’t be a part of Prime Day, at least it doesn’t appear so, but the previous-generation model is still noteworthy at this price.

Other notable Amazon device Prime Day deals include:

Echo Show 5: $45 (Reg. $90)
