Best phone deals in the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale: iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and more

Drumroll please, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for - Amazon’s Prime sale is back, and here’s the place for the best mobile phone deals.

There are few things in this world we all agree are absolute essential items, but the small but mighty mobile phone is definitely one of them.

Gone are the days of waiting three to five working days to hear back for your best friend after writing them a letter, we now demand instant communication all day everyday. Our need for instant information doesn’t stop at communication - we use our devices to access emails on remote working days, maps to navigate us on the same route we do daily and a brilliant camera to capture all of life’s best moments.

If you find yourself with a phone that doesn’t quite do what you need it to, or battery that is drained after a light browse of Instagram, it may be time for an upgrade. Luckily, you’re in good hands thanks to the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale where you can get a device with over 50 per cent off.

When is the Amazon Prime Day Early Access Sale 2022? When does the Amazon Prime Day Early Access Sale end?

The spectacular discount shopping bonanza typically runs for 48 hours and took place on July 12-13. For the second event, the event will run across October 11-12.

Do you need a Prime account to get the deals?

As the name of the event suggests, accessing these deals are for Prime members only. If you haven’t yet bagged yourself a reasonably priced membership (£8.99 a month or £95 a year), then now is the time as Amazon is giving away one month free - so you can shop deals without paying a penny. Amazon Prime membership is even sweeter for students at only £4.49 a month.

What type of deals are available?

Amazon will be treating us to two types of deals - lightning and daily. Lightning deals offer some amazing prices for an extremely short period of time (just a few hours in some cases!). In contrast, Deals of the Day are 24 hours long and won’t run out unless stock does. These deals of course will run in conjunction with the traditional Prime Day Early Access Sale deals that will be on offer for the whole 48 hours. If you’re worried about missing out on these deals, fear not as our live blog will spotlight the very best prices across the two days.

What deals on mobile phones were there last year?

There were some absolutely cracking deals in 2021 on models both refurbished and new. There were phones that originally cost in the thousands that were bought right down, and we found prices as cheap as £40 for a brand new smartphone - that’s what we call a bargain.

What deals can we expect this year?

This year, there are some amazing discounts on top of the range phones, including Apple and Samsung. Luckily Amazon have something for everyone and if you’re looking for a device that gets the job done, then start shopping these stellar prices.
