You can treat the Prime Big Deal Days sale as a kickoff event to this year's Black Friday deals season. The year's biggest sales event doesn't technically take place until November, but it starts earlier and earlier every year now to stretch over weeks instead of a single day. Expect a lot of the deals we see during Prime Big Deal Days to serve as an early access preview of what's to come later in the year, so it could be a good chance to pick up a bargain ahead of time.
As for what actual Prime Day deals will be available this time around, Amazon has confirmed that there will be offers across all of its biggest categories, including TVs, headphones, appliances, fashion, beauty, toys, and more. Some of the big-name brands already confirmed as taking part are Disney, JBL, KitchenAid, Lego, Beats, Samsung, and Fujifilm. That's alongside some of the year's lowest prices on Amazon devices such as the Kindle, Echo Spot, Echo Show, Fire TVs and more.
