18 early October Prime Day deals that you won't regret buying now — up to 65% off Ring Doorbells, Fire tablets, Echo speakers and more

While Amazon's annual October Prime Day sale officially kicks off next week (the 6 -7), the retailer has early deals on its best-selling devices. While it's not unusual for Amazon to release early Prime Day deals, I was surprised at how good the discounts were, with up to 65% off its best-selling gadgets, including Fire tablets, Ring Doorbells, and Echo speakers, to name a few.

• Shop Amazon's full early Prime Day sale

I've listed the 18 best early device deals below, including record-low prices normally reserved for Amazon's official Prime Day sale. You can find cheap and handy smart home finds, like Amazon's smart plug for just $12.98 (was $24.98), the best-selling Fire TV Stick 4K Select for an incredible price of $17.99 (was $49.99), and the new Blink Video Doorbell 2K on sale for $30.99.

All of the early device deals listed below have received impressive discounts, and I don't expect prices to drop further at Amazon's official October Prime Day sale. The best part about today's deals is that they're for everyone – unlike Prime Day, there's no Prime membership required to shop Amazon's early sale.
