Best early October Prime Day Amazon device deals 2026: Fire tablets, Blink cameras, Fire TV Sticks

Table of Contents

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days (aka October Prime Day) is coming in hot, and with it, a boatload of discounts on Amazon’s own devices. It officially runs from Oct. 6 through Oct. 7 this year and presents the perfect opportunity to kickstart your holiday shopping.

It only makes sense that Amazon offers the biggest markdowns on its own devices. And since Amazon decided to swiftly jack up prices across its hardware range last month by as much as 60% (!), the October Prime Day sale couldn’t come at a better time.

Now that we’re a week out from October Prime Day, Amazon is really rolling out its deals. While there are still no savings on Kindles, Echo devices are finally on sale. Not only can you save up to 50% on the Echo Dot, but the new Echo Dot Max and Echo Studio are also on sale. Plus, we’ve rounded up savings on Fire tablets, Blink cameras, Fire TV streaming sticks and soundbars, and eero devices.

Aside from devices themselves, Amazon’s typical subscription deals for newcomers (and returning users) are already live. You can score three free months of Kindle Unlimited, four months of Audible Standard for 99 cents per month, or four free months of Amazon Music Unlimited.

We’ll be tracking all the best Amazon device deals below, leading up to and throughout the Prime Big Deal Days sale. You do need to be a Prime member to score the biggest discounts during the event, so be sure to sign up before it kicks off.

Best Echo device deal

Why we like it

Finally! Amazon’s Echo devices are officially on sale ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. Right now, grab the Amazon Echo Dot for just $39.99. While that’s not the lowest sale price we’ve ever spotted on the Echo Dot, it’s the best price since Amazon increased prices on its devices.

The Echo Dot is a perfectly compact smart speaker. Plus, it’s compatible with Alexa+, a smarter home assistant that helps you do everything from meal planning to booking dinner reservations.

Best Fire tablet deal

Why we like it

While it’s hardly a new device, the Fire HD 10 tablet is still a solid pick for anyone who just wants a tablet to stream shows, check emails, and browse social media. Mashable’s reviewer SaVanna Shoemaker called it “lighter and faster than its predecessors, with a long battery life and vivid picture that makes it great for on-the-go entertainment.” Compared to other well-known tablets, she also adds that it’s an “excellent value.” It’s not going to knock your socks off, but it’ll get the job done and won’t break the bank — especially now that it’s on sale for only $72.99, a full 53% off its list price.

Best Fire TV Stick deal

Why we like it

The entire Fire TV Stick lineup was affected by the August price hike, so we’re surprised that the discounts are still at pre-hike levels. Prime members can score the 4K Select for only $17.99, which is 64% in savings.

The 4K Select is Amazon’s newest 4K Fire TV Stick with HDR10+ support and the first to feature its new Linux-based operating system. That means a few things: it’s speedier and more streamlined than older Fire Sticks, but also more limited. If you like sideloading apps, this streaming stick won’t let you (go with the 4K Plus instead). It also offers support for Alexa+, Amazon Kids+, Amazon Luna, Xbox Game Pass, and NordVPN.

Best Blink camera deal

Why we like it

Who doesn’t love free stuff? In this early October Prime Day deal, you can get the Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ for no extra cost when you purchase the Blink Outdoor 2K+ for $34.99. That’s 65% off the camera itself and nearly 80% off the combined cost. If you’re looking to enhance your home security but don’t want to spend a fortune, this bundle is an excellent start. You’ll get sharp 2K video, enhanced audio, and night vision with no installation hassle. Everything is battery-powered and lasts for months at a time.

Best Eero deal

Why we like it

If your WiFi is laggy, it may be a good time to invest in an Amazon Eero system. Ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, the Eero Pro 7 Mesh WiFi router is down to $224.99, which is $75 cheaper than usual. It supports over 200 devices, internet plans up to 5 Gbps, and covers up to 2,000 square feet, helping to optimize your connection and eliminate dead spots. Even if you’re not a tech guru, it’s a breeze to set up thanks to Eero’s step-by-step guide in the app.
