Prime Day is tomorrow, but Best Buy has a huge sale right now - shop 15 deals I'd buy
No membership is required to shop today's incredible deals
While everyone's attention is on Amazon Prime Day, which officially begins tomorrow, Best Buy has quietly launched a rival sale. Dubbed the "Black Friday in July" sale, Best Buy is competing with the retail giant with equally impressive deals on TVs, laptops, headphones, smartwatches, tablets, and more.
• Shop Best Buy's full Black Friday in July sale
As a deals editor for TechRadar, I've reviewed Best Buy's rival Prime Day sale and hand-picked 15 deals that are worth buying. Best Buy is pulling out all the stops to try and take a piece of the Prime Day pie with record-low prices on best-selling gadgets from brands like Samsung, Apple, LG, Dyson, HP, and Dell. Some highlights include LG's highly-rated 65-inch C3 OLED TV on sale for an all-time low price of $1,399.99, Apple's mighty iPad Pro marked down to $599, and Dell's Inspiron 15 Touch Screen Laptop for just $349.99.
Apart from the crazy-good deals, the best part about Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale is that no membership is required. Unlike Amazon's Prime Day sale, everyone can shop today's deals, but keep in mind that offers end at Midnight on Wednesday.
