It's Amazon Prime Day, and the deals are coming in fast and hard.

We're tracking the best tech deals for you here at Mashable HQ, and we've also made a guide to help you track your own personal favorites in real time. All this said, it's a lot of information to dig through. Most of the sales are just mediocre — but there are a few that stand head and shoulders above the rest.

We've selected five of the absolute best deals available for Prime Day across all categories -- one's that you really shouldn't pass up. Inventory on the best deals tends to run out quickly, so if you like what you see, we'd recommend putting them in your shopping cart right away. With that in mind, here are the five best deals of Amazon Prime Day 2017.

Motorola G5 Plus

The Moto G5 Plus gives you a solid Android phone at an insanely low price — it's less than $200. The unlocked handset rocks a 5.2-inch full HD screen and 64 GB of storage with an expandable microSD card slot for even more media. You'll also get a fingerprint scanner, and a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera. It's not quite as good as the Samsung Galaxy S8 bundle that sold out earlier today, but it's a close second, and great phone for the price.

Price: $180 (normally, $240)

Amazon Echo

No list of Prime Day deals would be complete without one of Amazon's own gadgets — and the king of them all is the full-size Echo. The OG Alexa housing is heavily discounted for the day, as the Echo line is evolving with the new Show and Look devices — but the the cylindrical speaker is still well worth it, especially at nearly $100 off the original price.

Price: $89.99 (normally $179.99)

PlayStation 4 Slim 500GB Console - Uncharted 4 Bundle

Sony isn't necessarily the first brand you think of when you're looking for headphones, but these babies have thousands of great reviews and clock in at under $100 -- who can match that? The extra bass function should an some extra kick to your tunes, while the purported 18 hours of battery life and optimized app should keep you free from wires for good, whether your phone has a headphone jack or not.

Price: $98.00 (normally $198.00)
