Amazon loves to keep things in the family on Prime Day: Discounts on its in-house lines of gadgets are plentiful and steep during the retail giant's annual members-only sale. This is especially true for its Echo smart home devices, which frequently enjoy Prime Day deals exceeding the half-off mark. New year-round lows are not uncommon.
Echo devices also tend to be some of the first products Amazon puts on sale as official "Early Prime Day Deals" before the sale formally starts. As a case in point, the retail giant rolled out a handful of Echo offers alongside its Prime Day 2024 announcement Tuesday (which confirmed that it's scheduled for July 16 and 17). Let the games begin, as they say.
SEE ALSO:Amazon just announced the exact dates of Prime Day 2024As things currently stand, two kid-friendly Echo speakers have returned to previous lows for Prime members, while all styles of the third-generation Echo Frames are now cheaper than ever before — again, only for Prime members. These will be joined by additional smart speaker and display deals as Prime Day gets closer, per Amazon's announcement, which teased up to 55% off the Echo Pop, up to 45% off the Echo, up to 44% off the Echo Show 5, and up to 45% off the Echo Show 8.
Read on for an overview of the best early Prime Day Echo deals that are worth adding to your cart already, according to Mashable's team of shopping experts. Check back often, as we'll be updating our picks constantly as Amazon releases more offers in the leadup to the 16th.
Note: Any device marked with a 🔥 is at a record-low price, according to the Amazon price tracking site CamelCamelCamel.

(That unlocks extra age-appropriate content, including Audible books, games, and a "Hey Disney!" custom assistant with the voices of 20-plus Disney, Pixar, and Star Wars characters.) It's available in two styles, Disney Princess or Marvel's Avengers, and both options come with a blue protective silicone sleeve.
The Echo Pop Kids is now on sale for $22.99 for Prime members, which is 54% off and a match of its all-time low price from last Black Friday. You've also got the option of bundling it with an Echo Glow smart lamp (worth $29.99) for just $10 more.

Opens in a new windowCredit: AmazonEcho Show 5 Kids (3rd Gen)$54.99 at Amazon (with Prime)The third-generation Echo Show 5 is a 5.5-inch smart display from 2023 with speakers and a built-in camera. This kid-centric take on it has a fun Galaxy-patterned design, a two-year guarantee, and a built-in dashboard where parents can set usage limits and approve contacts for video calls. Amazon also throws in a year's worth of its Kids+ service.
Prime members can snag the Echo Show 5 Kids on sale for $54.99 ahead of Prime Day, which works out to a 45% savings. That's not a match of its all-time low — it was $44.99 last Black Friday (and $49.99 last Prime Day) — so if you don't desperately need it, consider waiting to see if it gets cheaper in the coming weeks. Note that you can add an Echo Glow for $10.
