Prime Day offers thousands of exclusive discounts site-wide for up to two days to Prime members. The service costs £7.99/US$14.99 per month (or £79/$139 for the year).

Over the years, Prime Day has made a reputation for itself for offering the best discounts on a wide variety of products, including all the tech we love such as smartphones, laptops, smartwatches, audio, gaming consoles, and more. But is it truly worth the hype?

We’re answering your top questions ahead of Prime Day 2022, plus pointing out a few things to keep in mind if you’re wondering whether Prime Day is worth it.

Is Prime Day the best place for discounts?

How to know if Prime Day has the best price

Tracking, tracking, and tracking.

So while you can expect a great breadth of deals on Prime Day, to truly know whether you’re getting the best price will require a bit of leg work.

Looking at the Galaxy S22 5G for example, CamelCamelCamel reveals the lowest price on the 128GB configuration was £730.45 in early May 2022. Will Prime Day prices outdo this lower limit?
