46 Anti-Prime Day Tech Deals You Should Get from Best Buy's Black Friday in July Sale Instead

Apple, Blink, Garmin, Samsung and more leading tech brands are on sale at Best Buy's rival Prime Day sale this week.

From July 8 through 11, Amazon Prime Day 2025 is promising daily deal drops and deep discounts on some of the most popular brands. But that's not the only major retailer enticing shoppers with savings.

You'll also be able to take advantage of rival sales like Walmart Deals Week or Target Circle Week. But if any tech is on your wish list, then you need to shop Best Buy's Black Friday in July event.

Running from July 7 through July 13, Black Friday in July is Best Buy's answer to Amazon Prime Day deals this week. While some of the deals are the same at both retailers, you'll also find brands that aren't available on Amazon. Even when deals are the same, you can typically be more confident you're getting the real thing when you buy your tech from Best Buy.
