FAQs

When is Amazon Prime Day 2024? 

This year, Amazon Prime Day will officially run from July 16 at 12:01 a.m. PDT through July 17. The sale will last 48 hours, although deals have already begun to emerge -- and some sales will likely be available for a day or two after the event. Keep in mind that the products with the best deals will likely sell out quickly. 

Are Samsung products really cheaper on Prime Day? 

You can take advantage of great deals on Samsung products during the two-day sales event. If a new Samsung device has just been released, however, it might not be included, and you will often find that legacy products will have the best discounts -- making room for new device stock.

Do other retailers have Samsung deals during Prime Day? 

You will likely enjoy some great discounts on Samsung products during Amazon's two-day sales event. However, retailers including Walmart, Best Buy, and Costco will likely hold their own alternative sales to cash in while consumers are happy to spend.

How did we choose these Prime Day deals?

ZDNET authors and reviewers will only include deals that catch our eye: products we have hands-on experience with, want, or would recommend to our readers. 

We use our own experience, knowledge, and research to judge the worthiness of a deal that appears during Prime Day, alongside price tracker tools and services, to compare historical pricing data and determine whether or not we consider a deal to be of real value. Furthermore, we consider the price point itself: even if we've seen a product with a lower price point in the past if the new price is still valuable, we will consider the product's inclusion. 

We like to see discounts of at least 20%, but in some cases -- such as Apple deals, which often have less of a discount available -- we may still include a deal if it demonstrates value for money.
