Amazon Echo Prime Day 2022 discounts: The deals to expect and when to expect them
(Pocket-lint) – There’s no doubt that Prime Day is one of the best times to snap up one of Amazon’s own devices – like the Amazon Echo or the Amazon Echo Show. Amazon likes to discount its own devices heavily on Prime Day, so if you want another Alexa device, it’s worth waiting for the sales event to start. Here’s everything you need to know about Prime Day and what to expect on the day.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2022?
Amazon is yet to confirm the exact dates for Prime Day, but the company has detailed that it will take place in July 2022.
Over the past couple of years the date has drifted around a bit, but it now seems set on its regular time slot in the summer. There’s no confirmed date, but it’s likely to be in the middle of July – either 12 or 19 July – but we’ll update once that’s locked in. Amazon Prime Day normally runs as a 24-48 hour event, but sometimes the sales on Echo devices run a little longer – either starting earlier on some lines or lasting a little longer once the sales event has officially finished.
What Echo devices will be discounted on Prime Day 2022?
That’s a question that only Amazon knows the answer to, but often the company announces some of the discounts before they start.
However, it’s often a comprehesive discounting across most of the devices in the Echo range.
Echo Dot 3rd gen
Still one of the most popular Echo devices, you can expect some really low prices on the Echo Dot (3rd gen). With great sound, this model is popular because it’s so compact.
Echo Dot with Clock
The Echo Dot with Clock makes for a great bedside device, able to give you the time – but also provide all those Alexa functions – it sounds pretty good too.
The normal Echo
The regular Echo is better than offer with great connectivity and great full-bodied sound from a device that’s a great price – and even more so on Prime Day.
Echo Show 5
The Echo Show 5 is the smallest of Amazon’s screened devices – meaning you can not only have the functions of Alexa, but you can see some of the results on the display too. It’s sure to get a decent discount on Prime Day.
