Amazon was one of the pioneers of the modern Black Friday craze, launching their highly popular lightning deals and beginning sales well before the day itself – and Black Friday 2020 is likely to be no exception.
Following the retail giant’s very own Prime Day, Amazon are no doubt going to be one of the main players this Black Friday – and we’ll have all the best deals listed right here.
With more new products on their way we can also expect deals on the older versions, making Black Friday (and Amazon Prime Day) a perfect time to snap up a good deal on Amazon devices and products.
Amazon has announced some early Black Friday deals already. So whether you’re after one of their signature smart speakers or want Prime to watch The Boys on the cheap, there’ll certainly be no shortage of deals from this brand.
Amazon Early Deals
Some of Amazon’s Black Friday early deals are already live:
- 25% off Home Working Essentials
- Up to 30% off Card Games by Big Potato, Gamely and more
- Up to 20% Off Vileda Products
- 25% off Charging Ports and Cables by Anker
Best Amazon deals from last year
It was no surprise that Amazon had some fantastic deals last year – take a look at some of the best:
- Up to 30% off Bose Headphones, Speakers and Soundbars
- Up to 50% off fashion from Amazon brand
- Up to 25% off Panasonic TVs
- Up to 15% off BOSE headphones
- Four months of Amazon Music Unlimited for £0.99 (£9.99 thereafter or £7.99 for Prime members)
- Get your first 4 months of Audible for £3.99 per month (£7.99 thereafter)

- Echo Dot down to £22 from £49.99.
- Up to 55% on Amazon devices including Echos, Firesticks, Fire tablets, and Kindles.
What to expect from Amazon on Black Friday
As with last year, expect Amazon to push their own products heavily – so expect decent discounts on Alexa devices, Echos, Fire Sticks, Fire tablets, and Kindles. This extends to their services also – there will almost certainly be deals on Prime Membership, Amazon Music, Audible, and Kindle Unlimited.
We’ve seen some great discounts already on the Echo Dot, going as low as £29.99 in the run-up to Black Friday – we’d expect this to go even lower on the big day itself.
This being Amazon however there will be deals on almost everything you can think of – from TVs and game consoles all the way down to toothbrushes and mops.
For those unfamiliar with Amazon, the retail giant uses a promotion called lightning deals during Black Friday – deals which only last for a few hours with limited stock. If you’re serious about getting a bargain it would be worth checking the site every few hours and maybe purchasing Amazon Prime or getting a free trial – members get access to deals half an hour early.

John Lewis
John Lewis always has some big tech deals – with the big draw being their TVs which come with a five-year guarantee.
