Amazon US kicks off Prime Big Deal Days with early offers, here are the best picks

2023-10-09

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days starts tomorrow, but some deals are already live. Most of the offers are for Amazon’s own devices or services, though this includes partner manufacturers. (e.g. TCL’s Fire TVs). There are some non-Amazon deals as well.

You need to sign up for Prime to get most of these deals. The current prices are $15 a month (after a 30 day trial) and $140 for a full year. Students and people on qualified government assistance pay $7.50 and $7.00 a month, respectively.

But the first batch are not tied to Prime, instead they are Pixel 8 series pre-orders.

Pixel 8 series

First up, Google’s latest flagship phones, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. These will receive 7 years of software support and spare parts, making them the longest lasting mainstream phones yet (beating even Apple, second only to the Fairphone, but those aren’t really available in the US). Here the Pixel 8 is bundled with a free pair of Pixel Buds Pro, the Pixel 8 Pro gets the new Pixel Watch 2 instead.
