Amazon’s Prime Day Deals Not Good Enough? Here’s What Everyone Else Is Offering
Amazon’s not the only retailer offering big discounts on a variety of goods on July 15. Walmart has come out with its own array of tempting offers, and taken a swipe at Amazon’s Prime sign-up prerequisite in the process. “We’ve heard some retailers are charging $100 to get access to a sale. But the idea of asking customers to pay extra on order to save money just doesn’t add up for us,” Walmart wrote in a blog post. Walmart’s deals will begin on July 15, and most will last for at least a week, rather than just a day. It’s also dropping the free shipping minimum order value from $50 to $35.
Newegg also has some decent offers, and other online stores are sure to want to compete with the big hitters during the day, so we’ll be updating this post with the best ones, so keep checking back.
Apple iPad Air 32GB Wi-Fi – $400
Getting any money off an Apple product is always welcome, and Walmart’s price on the 32GB iPad Air — which is still our pick of Apple’s full-size tablet range — is $50 cheaper than Apple’s regular price. If you’d prefer the 16GB model, it’s also $50 less than it costs through the Apple Store. Read our review of the iPad Air here.

Nokia Lumia 635 – $47
The 635 is less than half its original price, and at less than $50 for a pre-paid, surprisingly capable smartphone, it’s worth investigating if you’re after a low-cost mobile. It’s connected to AT&T’s 4G LTE network, and has a sensible 4.5-inch screen size, a quad-core processor, and a 5-megapixel camera. Also, the Windows Phone 8.1 operating system will be upgraded to Windows 10 when the time comes. Read our review of the Lumia 635 here.
