The Best Amazon-Branded Device Deals Ahead of Prime Day

Prime Day is July 11 to 12 this year, which gives us just about three weeks to prepare for the two-day sale extravaganza. Popular brands including Samsung, ASUS, HP, and MSI will have products on sale, but the deepest discounts will be for Amazon brands, such as Blink, Ring, Kindle, and Fire. 

If you already own an Alexa-enabled device or your home setup could stand to be a little smarter, you should check out Amazon’s current sale(Opens in a new window) and pick up a new smart device. Blink security cameras come in both wireless and wired formats and can be paired with a monthly plan for an added layer of security.

You’ve probably seen Ring video doorbells in your neighborhood. They include nifty features such as two-way talk, so you’ll never miss another delivery or visitor. And the Fire TV has your favorite streaming platforms built in and can be controlled hands-free via Alexa. 

It’s important to note that some of these deals are Amazon Prime exclusives. For those who don’t already have a Prime subscription, Amazon offers new customers a free 30-day trial(Opens in a new window).

Ring Video Wired Doorbell (2021 Release)

Better home security starts at your front door, which is exactly where this Ring Indoor Video Doorbell lives. This wired device has a 4.5-star approval rating on Amazon and is approaching 70,000 reviews, so even though this version is from 2021, it’s still giving buyers what they want: an eye on the porch to see who’s dropping by in 1080p resolution, even when you’re away from home or in the middle of the night. You can pair it with your Alexa Show or Fire TV to see who’s there and to talk with your potential guest. You can save on the doorbell on its own—or add a Ring Chime or an Echo Pop for even more savings.
