Early Prime Day deals include up to 58% off Amazon Fire tablets

Prime Day is just around the corner, as the festivities officially kick off on July 16. However, there are plenty of Prime Day deals already floating around. Even better? Some of these discounts are among the best Prime Day deals we've seen so far. Case in point? There's a massive sale on various Amazon Fire tablets with record-low prices.

The Fire HD 8, which is 58% off and has a record low price. Don't let its low price fool you. This is a surprisingly decent tablet that's perfect for consuming content. I have one and it's perfect for streaming episode after episode of '90s Star Trek while sick in bed.

The battery lasts about 13 hours on a charge, and the HD display gets the job done, though it won't win any visual fidelity awards. This sale is for the 64GB model, which is twice as much storage as the entry-level tablet. Plus, there's a microSD slot that adds up to 1TB of expandable storage.

It’s not an iPad Pro, though, so there are tradeoffs. It’s underpowered and only offers 2GB of RAM. As I said before, this tablet is for kicking back and watching stuff or playing simple mobile games. It’s not meant for power-hungry, creativity-focused apps. You get what you pay for, although the price has certainly been sweetened.

For those looking for a slightly more premium experience, the Fire 8 is available for $75 instead of $140. The kid-friendly version of this model actually cost . RAM is slightly upped from the Fire 8, at 3GB, though base storage is 32GB. This one also has a microSD slot for up to 1TB.
