October's equivalent to Prime Day is just around the corner, with Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days set to deliver an avalanche of amazing deals from Tuesday, October 8 to the end of Sunday, October 13.

Arriving roughly six weeks ahead of Black Friday, the Prime Big Deal Days sale provides Aussies with an early start to their Christmas shopping, with discounts expected on a wide range of categories, including phones, tablets, laptops, smart displays and speakers, appliances, headphones, games and more.

While the event itself is a week away, Amazon has already started offering some early deals, which massive discounts on the company's own Echo smart speakers and displays, Eero routers, and Ring doorbells and cameras.

Of course, you'll need to be a Prime member to take part in this sale. An Amazon Prime subscription is just AU$9.99p/m, however, those who have yet to sign up can take advantage of a free 30-day trial of the service, which also includes access to Prime Video, Prime Gaming, Prime Reading and Amazon Prime Music, along with free expedited delivery on eligible orders.

Enough waffling on — read on to see the best early deal's from Amazon's next Prime-exclusive sale below.
