Whether you’re shopping for an AI-boosted Pixel 11 or a stylish Pixel Watch 5, Amazon’s October Prime Day sale event is expected to slash prices on nearly all of Google’s latest tech, along with a few iconic last-gen devices.

FAQ
What is Prime Big Deal Days?
Big Deal Days is Amazon’s way of bringing the complete Prime Day experience into the fall season. From October 6th through the 7th, the retailer will be slashing prices on everything from clothing and kitchen appliances to Android tech, and all you’ll need is a Prime membership. The sale also marks the beginning of fall sale season, giving shoppers an early look at upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday offerings.
What Google Pixel deals can I expect during Prime Big Deal Days?
Prime Day events like Big Deal Days typically showcase discounts on a wide range of Google products, from smartphones to wearables. This time around, I’d expect some hefty discounts on the entire Google Pixel 11 lineup. The prices on the flagship phones haven’t dipped much since their August launch, so I’m anticipating discounts as high as 20% off or more once the sale begins in earnest.
You can also expect the Pixel Watch 5 to get its first-ever discount, while last-gen Google devices like the Pixel Watch 4 and Google Pixel 10a are almost certain to see some historic price drops as well.
Do I need to be a Prime member to shop during Prime Big Deal Days?
Yep. Just like other Prime Day events, the vast majority of deals during Big Deal Days will be exclusive to Prime members. If you haven’t signed up yet, Amazon offers a 30-day free trial that lets you enjoy all of the benefits of Prime (including unlimited streaming, free shipping, and access to exclusive deals) without paying a cent. Once the free trial is up, Prime memberships start at just $14.99 per month with the ability to cancel at any time.
If you simply don’t want to add another subscription to your monthly bills, it’s also worth mentioning that Amazon’s biggest rivals — such as Best Buy, Walmart, and Target — are also expected to launch their own competing sales around the same time. These sale events are sure to match (or even surpass) Amazon’s discounts, and they typically don’t require a membership.
