Amazon’s Prime Day sale kicks off tomorrow, but the tech giant is already running some great deals. If you’re looking for a new doorbell and smart speaker or display, this is a deal you can’t miss.
Right now, not only can you get 40% off a second-gen Ring Doorbell (bringing the price down from £99.99 to £59.99), you can also get a free Echo Pop speaker which can connect to your doorbell, so you can use both gadgets as intercoms – useful for visitors waiting outside. Don’t confuse this with the cheaper wired doorbell: it’s the battery-powered version that’s extremely easy to install.
Get a free Ring Doorbell and Echo Pop
The Echo Pop is a smart speaker, but if you want a smart display, you can also upgrade this pack to the Ring Doorbell with an Echo Show 5 (3rd generation) for an additional £35 (for a total of £94.99). Bearing in mind that this latest Echo Show 5 usually costs £89.99, that’s a pretty decent saving.
The 5-inch screen means you can see who’s at your front door when someone rings the doorbell without having to reach for your smartphone.

To take advantage of these offers, you will need an Amazon Prime membership. It costs $14.99 / £8.99 per month, but new subscribers can get a 30-day free trial (which you can cancel at any time while still enjoying the benefits).

We gave the Ring Doorbell 4/5 stars in our review, which comes with an interchangeable faceplate, 1080p streaming, night vision, and motion detection up to 30 feet away. It can also be installed wirelessly, in case of mains connection problems.
If you want to save captured videos to the Ring, you’ll need a monthly subscription to Ring Protect, which also includes additional benefits like photo previews and an extended warranty. It starts from $3.99/£3.49 per month, or £34.99 per year (no annual plan is offered in the US).
The Pop and Echo Show 5 are great smart doorbell companions, but they also have other useful features. The Pop is an Alexa-enabled device that can be used to listen to music, audiobooks, set timers, read the weather and more. Meanwhile, the Echo Show 5’s screen can be used for video streaming, photo viewing, and video calling.
