Black Friday sales seem to kick in earlier and earlier every year, with every major retailer throwing their hat in the ring in some way well before Black Friday actually arrives. Amazon is famous for being one of the retailers that pioneered early Black Friday deals, with the company launching various sales well before you can even think about buying your Thanksgiving turkey.

There are deals on new smartphones, tablets, laptops, e-readers, smart home devices, accessories, and more.
