Amazon Prime Day UK – live: Top early deals and latest updates

Discounted by £250, Google’s Pixel 8 Pro is one of the best smartphones we’ve ever tested. “Last year’s Pixel phones go hard on fancy generative AI features, but underpinning all of Google’s software cleverness is an excellent device boasting a significant hardware upgrade over last year’s model,” tech writer Steve said in their review. “With a telephoto lens and extra RAM, as well as a Tensor G3 processor, AI-fuelled photo editing features and a glorious 120Hz display, it’s the Android device to beat.”

While we’re already seeing early Prime Day deals drop at Amazon, the sale doesn’t officially start until tomorrow. But what time does it start and end?

Amazon Prime Day will kick off at 00:01am on Tuesday and will end at 23:59 the following night, giving you a full 48 hours to shop the offers. Remember, you need to be an Amazon Prime member to secure the savings.

This one isn’t am Amazon deal, but it’s one I think gamers might be interested in. Ahead of the launch of the shockingly-expensive PS5 Pro, Sony has just discounted the PS5 Slim digital edition to just £339.99.

The PS5 Slim is the OG PS5 with a glow-up. It weighs less, has a slimmer profile, and comes with 1TB of internal storage instead of the random 825GB found on the previous model. There are four panels on the side instead of two, a glossy upper half and a matte bottom half. Cheaper than the PS5 Pro, Sony’s just reduced it even further. It’s the lowest price I’ve ever seen the console.

Oral-B Pro 3 electric toothbrush: Was £100, now £40, Amazon.co.uk

While the Pro 3 is less powerful and a little noisier than the premium iO range, it will clean your teeth just as competently, while leaving your bank balance looking a little healthier, too. Featuring different speed settings and a whitening mode, the Oral-B Pro 3 left our tech writer Steve’s teeth with that “‘just been to the dentist’ feeling”. It was discounted to £40 in last year’s Big Deal Days sale, and is available today at the same price.

All you have to do is steer while it uses clean sense IQ technology to automatically sense the mess you can’t see and adjust cleaning power for up to 50 per cent more dirt pick-up.” Complete with a dual battery and 120-minute run-time, other nifty features include anti-hair-wrap technology and LED lights.

Apple iPad, 10th generation, 2022: Was £349, now £319.99, Amazon.co.uk

With a small discount of £30, the 2022 iPad has fallen to one of its lowest prices at Amazon. The new design, faster processor, better and bigger display are easily worth the price, and the new iPad is a real rival to the iPad air, which usually costs £170 more,” The Independent’s tech critic David Phelan said in his review. “This is the best tablet under £500 from any manufacturer, in my opinion.”

Looking for an Amazon Kindle that will let you write on it and scribble notes? The Amazon Scribe has been discounted by £100 ahead of Amazon Prime Day.

Amazon Kindle scribe (64 GB): Was £409.99, now £309.99, Amazon.co.uk

The Kindle scribe comes with a stylus for creating notes in the margins of the page, which is pretty neat. “The scribe collects your notes together in one place”, tech writer Steve said in his review. In terms of reading experience, he added that the big display means you can squeeze more words into a page, resulting in fewer page turns (or you can opt for bigger text).
