The annual Prime Day shopping frenzy offers great deals from pretty much every department on Amazon, but nothing brings the smart shoppers like the tech deals.

The Best Prime Day Tech Deals To Shop For Right Now in 2022
For us to uncover the best deals, we first need to look back at what was offered last year. The deals then give us the blueprint of what we can expect to see with this year’s big shopping event. Not surprisingly, Amazon’s various products garnered plenty of generous discounts, so plan on seeing deep discounts on Echo smart speakers and Echo Show smart displays. There were also incredible deals on Roomba robot vacuums, which received discounts of up to 38% off.

Early Prime Day Deals on Tech Gadgets
There’s no reason to wait for July 12, especially if the products you’re eyeing are already on sale. Because Amazon and other brands use Prime Day as an opportunity to discount last year’s coolest gadgets, there’s always the chance that the particular MacBook, noise-canceling headphones or flagship Samsung smartphone you want will be sold out come Prime Day.
Below, you can find the best early Prime Day deals on tech products. All of these deals are already live, and we’ll continue to update this page as new promotions go online.
1. Amazon Smart Thermostat + Free Echo Dot
We’re in the middle of summer and the heat can be brutal on most days. Thanks to Prime Day, it’s the perfect time to upgrade the cooling system in your home — starting with the thermostat. Right now, you can find several deals going on the Amazon Smart Thermostat, which can save money on your electric bill by efficiently cooling your home. Right now, you can save 30% off it
Buy: Amazon Smart Thermostat $61.98 (orig. $109.98) 44% OFF
2. Apple Watches
There was no hotter Christmas 2021 deal than the Apple Watch Series 7, and we’re betting that will be the case again for Prime Day 2022. And not just the Series 7 either — we’ll be on the lookout for great deals on the Apple Watch SE and Series 6 as well.
The rumor mill is already working overtime on when the Apple Series 8 will drop, along with a possible update to the SE, which could mean Apple will be a highly motivated seller come Prime Day to move the Series 7s and current SEs to make room for their new launches. Below, we’ve listed a few deals happening right now on some Apple Watches.
Buy: Apple Watch Series 7 $329.00 (orig. $399.00) 18% OFF
3. LG C1 Series OLED TV
TVs will be among the biggest movers on Prime Day 2022. This article has the full rundown on the best Prime Day TV Deals, but we called out the LG C1 Series OLED TV below because it saw a huge discount during Black Friday 2022, and it’s already on sale. Also worth watching: Amazon’s Fire TVs and the Insignia line of smart TVs, both of which could see huge markdowns.
-
Save 40% off 48-inch LG C1 OLED, which brings it down to $797
-
Save 36% off 65-inch LG C1 OLED, which brings it down to $1,597
-
Save 27% off 55-inch LG C1 OLED, which brings it down to $1,097
Buy: LG C1 Series OLED TV $1,096.99
4. Fire 7 Tablet (2022 Release)
The latest iteration of Amazon’s Fire 7 tablet dropped June 29, slightly ahead of Prime Day’s official start. Its launch price is $59.99, but we’re speculating that there will be a deal for Prime Day.
This is a big one for Amazon — the new Fire 7 promises 30% faster performance and twice the RAM of the Fire 7 9th Edition, with more reading, streaming and gaming possibilities than any of the previous editions. There aren’t any amazing deals happening right now, but here’s where some of the models stand when it comes to price.
Buy: Fire 7 Tablet (2022 Release) $59.99
5. Dell XPS 13 Laptop
All eyes will be on the MacBooks on Prime Day, and there will likely be some great deals to be had there. But the Dell XPS 13 can totally hang with the MacBook, and the chances of a deeper deal from Dell are probably better. The XPS 13 comes in a handful of configurations with 8GB of RAM and anywhere from 128GB to 2TB of storage. It’s one of the best PCs available, and Prime Day 2022 may be the best chance to snag one at a great discount.
There aren’t any hot deals going on right now for the XPS 13, but here are just a few different configurations to see how they’re priced before Prime Day.
6. Apple AirPods Pro
Wireless earbuds will be big movers on Prime Day. We’ll be on the lookout for great deals on the Jabra Elite Active 75t and Sony WF-1000XM3 buds, but like you, our sights will be firmly locked on Apple’s flagship buds, the AirPods Pro. The retail price of $249 will occasionally dip into the $180 range, and we’re guessing the Prime Day deal will be at least that good and possibly even better.
Thankfully, AirPod deals are happening as we speak. That means if you want one, you’re still getting a discount without having to shop on Prime Day. Check out what’s available below.
Buy: Apple AirPods Pro $199.98 (orig. $249.00) 20% OFF
7. Ring Alarm 14-Piece Kit (2nd Gen)
Prime Day is always full of tech gadgets and small buys, but it’s also the best chance to go big. Home security systems are big. Amazon will probably want to showcase its top stuff from the Ring line of video doorbells and wireless security cams, and the 14-piece Ring Alarm 2nd Gen Home Security System is the top of the line. Easy DIY install, seamless Alexa integration and a super intuitive app to run the whole show make the Ring Alarm a great option.
It looks like there are some Prime Exclusive deals happening at the moment for a bunch of Ring’s home security systems,
Buy: Ring Alarm 14-Piece Kit (2nd Gen) $329.99
8. Anker Chargers
Your brand-new tech goodies are only as good as their chargers. You realize that, right? There’s an Anker charger for every device you have, and we’ve tested and loved many of them. They’re small yet amazingly powerful, they’re durable, they stand out in a market flooded with cheap knockoffs and they go on sale pretty frequently. All this augurs well for a big Prime Day 2022 for Anker chargers. The portable PowerHouse 200 is one to keep a lookout for, along with the 735 Nano II 65-watt wall charger.
Sure, they’re affordable enough on any budget, but you’re getting the savings right now with the following deals below on some Anker chargers.
Buy: Anker USB-C 735 Nano II wall charger $59.99 (orig. $65.99) 9% OFF
9. Sengled Smart LED Light Bulbs
Light bulbs? Hear us out. The Sengled Smart Dimmable LED Bulbs are the jelly to the Alexa smart home device’s peanut butter. They’re made specifically to work with Alexa voice control devices, and there are going to be dozens of great Alexa-controlled smart-home devices on sale for Prime Day, from TVs to Echo Dots and more.
There are a few notable deals below happening right now on different Sengled smart lights, so it might be worth grabbing one of them. Although, we’re expecting to see deeper discounts.
Buy: Sengled Smart LED Light Bulbs $39.99
10. Nintendo Switch OLED Model
No, the Nintendo Switch hasn’t gone away or gone the way of the Wii U. (Ouch — the less said there the better.) If anything it’s become better with the newest OLED Model and its vastly upgraded screen, bigger 64 GB internal storage and enhanced audio. And, like its initial release, it’s not easy to get. Prime Day is often the place to grab scarce hot items like this, but you’ll have to be alert to see the deal coming (bookmark this page!) and you’ll have to jump if it shows up.
We’ve seen Amazon discount the Nintendo Switch earlier this year, but here are some accessories and video games that are on discount ahead of Prime Day.
Buy: Nintendo Switch OLED Model $349.00
11. SanDisk Portable External Storage
Cloud backups are great for automatic hard drive backups, but for your truly precious and irreplaceable files — your old photos and videos, essential scanned documents — real peace of mind comes from having them on a tangible device that’s reliable and durable. We love SanDisk’s line of external drives and memory cards. They’re fast, they have huge capacities and they’re great for everything from automatic backups for your laptop to extra memory for gaming consoles.
They’re not shy about sales — the 2TB Extreme Portable SSD is half off right now — but they are an excellent bet to run some inspired deals on Prime Day. Incredibly, you’ll find other deals up for grabs right now below.
Buy: SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD $234.99 (orig. $459.99) 49% OFF
12. Amazon Echo Dot
It wouldn’t be Prime Day if Amazon didn’t include some of its best smart speakers. You’ll find the lowest prices on its most affordable smart speaker, the Echo Dot (4th Gen). But don’t think that the love is only going to be applied to this particular smart speaker because we’re certain to see discounts on the others, including older models like the Echo Dot (3rd Gen).
Buy: Amazon Echo Dot (4th Gen) $49.99
