The DJI Avata 2 itself combines photography and fun. It shoots crisp 4K POV footage with a super-wide lens, but also performs aerial acrobatics — flips, rolls, and 180° drifts — at the push of a button. You can rely on DJI for quality in the air — it’s the brand name in high-performance consumer drones.

As part of the bundle you also get googles for first-person-view flying plus a motion controller, three batteries, a charging hub, and a sling bag for carrying your drone.

Pick up the DJI Avata 2 Fly More Combo before the Big Spring Sale wraps up on March 31. Now priced at $719.

This has been such a big month for Apple. We got new iPhones, game-changing MacBooks, and upgraded iPads. And now the Amazon Big Spring Sale is delivering deals on just about everything from the brand.

Of course, not all the best mobile deals are live at Amazon. In fact, T-Mobile is leading the way right now with limited-time offers running until April 1.

You can switch to T-Mobile and get the new iPhone 17 for free or the iPhone 17 Pro for under $100 with no trade-in required. To claim these offers, you must port in an eligible number from a competitor like Verizon or AT&T and sign up for a premium Experience Beyond or Better Value plan.

Alternatively, you can score the iPhone 17e for free when signing up for 24 months of most T-Mobile plans.

It's worth noting that T-Mobile will charge taxes on these "free" deals and a $35 device connection fee.

The best deals on open earbuds in Amazons Big Spring Sale — save on Shokz, Sony, Soundcore, and more

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is still running for a couple more days, so you still have time to save big on tech and household essentials. If you've been looking to upgrade your audio, you'll find incredible discounts across speakers and headphones. And that's not all, because there's some seriously impressive deals on open earbuds to consider.

Open earbuds are designed to sit just outside or at the entrance of your ear rather than sealing inside the ear canal. This means you can listen to audio while still hearing your surroundings, so they're useful for when you want to hear your music but retain some spatial awareness (like when running).

Right now, you'll find deals across all the major brands (like Shokz and Sony) with all price points available. Here are some of the best we've seen so far.

These open-ear earbuds are a comfortable choice for all-day wear, thanks to their lightweight build and secure ear hook fit. They give you an incredible listening experience with enhanced bass and clear highs, and optional Dolby Audio support via the app. Battery life gives you up to 11 hours of listening per charge, or 48 hours with the case, alongside a quick charging feature that gives you two extra hours from a 10 minute charge.

Ive tested portable power stations for years — heres what Id actually buy in Amazons Big Spring Sale

Best Amazon Big Spring Sale portable power stations deals at a glance: Best Bluetti deal Bluetti Elite 200 V2 $749 at Amazon (save $200) Get Deal Best Anker Solix bundle deal Anker Soloix F3800 Portable Power Station, BP3800 Expansion Battery, and 400W Solar Panel $3,498.99 at Amazon (save $3,898.01) Get Deal Best Jackery deal Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 $429 at Amazon (save $370) Get Deal Best DJI deal DJI Power 1000 V2 $364 at Amazon (save $65) Get Deal Best deal for camping Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 $428.99 at Amazon (save $370.01) Get Deal

I'll let you in on a little secret about portable power stations — they're almost always on some type of discount. It's rare that I see any of my favorite models listed at full price, which is not a bad thing. But it makes it harder to discern a good deal from a meh deal. To help out, I've scrolled the pages of the Amazon Big Spring Sale to find the deals I think are actually worth buying.

A portable power station has become a must-have tech item. It's like your favorite noise-cancelling earbuds — no idea how we survived without them. They've been my savior during power outages to keep the refrigerator running, my phone charged up, and the WiFi router connected. They're also well worth packing along on upcoming camping trips. Think of movie nights under the stars with a powered-up portable projector and fresh popcorn.

The one snag here is that batteries aren't cheap, and that's especially true of high-tech and long-lasting batteries found in portable power stations. Because of this, I recommend shopping for a power station during major sales like the Amazon Big Spring Sale is a wise move. Here are some of my favorite models seeing steep discounts during the sale. I'll keep this page updated as the sale rolls in and we see new deals pop up.

If you need a large and in charge power solution, whether in an emergency or going off-grid, the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 is a fantastic option. It comes with 2,600Wh of battery power, which is more than enough to charge larger items like laptops and small appliances. It's also capable of recharging your phones and keeping the WiFi router on for an extended period of time. If you find that you routinely lose power, this unit is something you'll want to keep on hand to make sure you can charge things up when you need them.

The massive Anker Solix F3800 is ideal for home backup should the power cut out. On its own, the Solix F3800 comes with 3,8400 Wh of battery capacity to keep your tech running without grid power, but Anker made this deal even better during Amazon's Big Spring Sale. The Solix F3800 comes bundled with a BP3800 Expansion Battery and a 400W solar panel. The extra battery brings the total capacity up to 7,680Wh while the addition of a solar panel puts you in line for recharging off-grid.

If you're looking for a portable power station to take along to the campground this summer, the Jackery Explorer 100 V2 is an ideal model. It's a mix of portability, durability, solid port options, and it's on sale for under $430. This Jackery model comes with 1,070Wh for recharging your phones while camping, keeping the speaker ready to go, and powering up the projector for movie nights. Plus, it weighs under 24 pounds, so you won't have to struggle lugging it around camp.

Read Mashable's full review of the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2.

After testing dozens of portable power stations, one of my go-to models for taking along on a weekend of camping is the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2. Sure, you can go lighter and even more portable models, but I love the Solix C1000's combination of 1,024Wh, three USB-C ports, and the excellent Anker Solix app. It's also incredibly easy to carry around the campground, weighing under 25 pounds. Plus, Anker won a Guinness World Record for the power station's ability to recharge in just 49 minutes.

The best drone deals to shop in Amazons Spring Sale — DJI drones are down to record-low prices

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 05:00
The best drone deals to shop during Amazon's Big Spring Sale: Best mini drone deal DJI Neo 3-Battery Combo $219 (save $70) Get Deal Best budget drone deal Holy Stone HS110D FPV RC Drone $39.99 (save $20) Get Deal Best Premium Drone Deal DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo $1,099 (save $500) Get Deal Best premium drone deal Antigravity A1 Infinity Bundle $1,599 (save $500) Get Deal

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is officially live now through March 31. The retailer is dropping prices on hundreds (if not thousands) of items, with heavy discounts on everything from robot vacuums to Apple products. Fortunately for all you fliers out there, drones are getting the exact same discount treatment. If you've been waiting for a solid price drop to finally pull the trigger on a new model, now's the moment to land a bargain.

To save you searching Amazon yourself, we've already lined up our favorite deals below.

Best mini drone deal DJI Neo 4K Mini Drone Three-Battery Combo $219 at Amazon
$289 Save $70   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Despite the recent ban on DJI imports, you can still safely buy existing stock in the U.S. — and you probably should while it's actively discounted.

If you've been holding out for a DJI drone deal, this bundle just hit its lowest price in 90 days. The DJI Neo is a ridiculously beginner-friendly 4K mini drone that weighs just 135 grams, meaning you go from box to sky without worrying about registering it with the FAA. It features automatic subject tracking, takes off and lands right from the palm of your hand without a remote, and comes with full-coverage propeller guards for extra peace of mind.

Bonus: It includes three batteries and a charging hub, bumping your total flight time up to a very solid 54 minutes before you have to go hunting for a wall outlet.

Best budget drone deal Opens in a new window Credit: Holy Stone Holy Stone HS110D FPV RC Drone $39.99 at Amazon
$59.99 Save $20   Get Deal Why we like it

If you want to learn how to fly without the constant fear of immediately destroying an expensive piece of tech, the Holy Stone HS110D is our favorite budget pick. It has a 1080p HD camera with a 120-degree wide-angle lens, but more importantly, it's incredibly forgiving for first-time pilots. Built-in safety nets like altitude hold and headless mode keep things stable while you figure out the controls, and the companion app unlocks extra features like voice control and trajectory flight.

Best premium drone deal Opens in a new window Credit: Antigravity Antigravity A1 Drone Infinity Bundle $1,599 at Amazon
$1,999 Save $400   Shop Now Why we like it

The Antigravity A1 is a recently-launched flier that’s been hailed as the world’s first 360° consumer camera drone.  You fly it using a pair of lightweight Vision googles and a one-handed grip control, but this drone also has a 360° camera that films all around itself — which you can view in-flight by turning your head in the goggles. Not only that, it captures footage in stunning 8K. And this particular option comes with a bundle with the goggles, controller, three batteries, a carry case, and more. 

It stands to reason that this premium drone costs a premium price, which is why a $400 discount is not to be missed. We know what we’re talking about here. Mashable’s reviewer had a great time testing out this drone.

Here are the best Pokémon deals we've seen so far. (Spoiler: Pokémon Pokopia is not on sale just yet, but we're keeping a close eye on Amazon's listing in case that changes. Check out our review in the meantime.)

Amazon has the Pokémon TCG: Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection marked down to $189.47 (normally $249.99), saving you over $60 on a fancy collector's set. It's now $1.46 under TCGplayer's market price value of $190.93. This set includes 18 booster packs, two foil promo cards, 65 card sleeves, a metal coin, six damage-counter dice, a playmat, and a deck box.

With a new price cut of over $60, snagging the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Display Box (36 booster packs) on sale for $219.66 means you're only paying roughly $6.10 per booster pack. That's almost $6 off compared to buying Perfect Order boosters individually.

Unlike an Elite Trainer Box, you are not getting sleeves, dice, or storage extras here. This is more of a straight pack-heavy buy for collectors who want to open a full box at once or chase cards from the new Perfect Order expansion without paying for the added accessories.

It's about to get hot. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but soon enough, we'll be back in sweltering season. This year, head into the warmth with the Dreo TurboPoly Table Fan. Not only does it look great, it has four speeds, an 8-hour timer, and big oscillation power. Dreo says the fan is powerful enough to blow air up to 60 feet, so it'll be ideal for a bedroom or office. Plus, it's a quiet 28 decibels, so there's no issue with sleeping with the fan on.

OK, this one is not technically under $50, but it's so close and such a good deal, we couldn't pass up including it here. One of the more controversial parts of the Switch 2 release was the higher game prices, including on the first title live with the console: Mario Kart World. The good news is that if you've been waiting for the $80 game to drop in price, Spring Sale season has you covered. Thanks to this markdown at Woot!, you can pick it up for $64.99. And as of March 25, you can use the code SAVETWENTY at checkout to knock an additional $13 off the game our reviewer called "chaotic, hilarious fun."

I test headphones and earbuds — heres what you should buy in Amazons Spring Sale

As a shopping reporter, trust me when I say I understand better than most that Amazon's sale schedule can feel fatiguing. However, as a headphones reviewer, I also can't deny that this year's Big Spring Sale offers a great opportunity to upgrade your audio game on the cheap.

Having spent a few years testing headphones, and the last year covering the latest in noise-cancelling tech, open earbuds, and sleep earbuds, I went into this last week of March curious to see what the third iteration of Amazon's Big Spring Sale could bring. Sure, I'd seen the mega-retailer offer some solid tech deals in the two years prior, but so far, this iteration of the sale is proving that Amazon isn't playing with savings on headphones.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026: Live updates on the top deals

Case in point: The newly announced Apple AirPods Max 2 are already $19 off even though they're still in their preorder phase. Sony's latest flagship headphones and earbuds are also marked down, and Shokz has plenty of deals for anyone looking for a new pair of workout earbuds.

Bose gear wasn't on sale when the Big Spring Sale began on March 25, but as of March 27, Amazon is finally discounting its QuietComfort headphones, QuietComfort Ultra 2 headphones, and Ultra Open earbuds, too.

The Big Spring Sale runs until March 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Anything is possible, but with most of the below deals, I don't imagine we'll see wild fluctuations in price. In other words, if you see a pair of headphones or earbuds you like, I recommend scooping them up.

My colleagues and I will be updating this post throughout the sale, so we'll let you know if anything new and major drops.

Best headphones deal Sony WH-1000XM6 $398 at Amazon
$459.99 Save $61.99   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Sony's flagship headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM6, are still relatively new, all things considered, meaning that catching them on sale isn't always a given. Granted, even though their sale price of $398 does net you a nice $61.99 price cut, they're still expensive headphones. (If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, I recommend the Sony WH-CH720N). That said, if you're looking for the best of the best, these Sony headphones offer some of the best sound, noise cancellation, and all-day wear I've ever tried. Plus, unlike their predecessors, their ear cups actually fold. Grab them on sale in any of the available four colorways.

If the WH-1000XM6 are out of your price range, go for a more budget-friendly option. The JLab JBuds Lux ANC are surprisingly great for a pair of headphones under $100, and right now you can get them for just $41.99.

As much as I love a good pair of premium earbuds, I'm less in love with the idea of paying over $200 for quality ANC and sound when you can get that for much, much cheaper. For day-to-day use, I often find myself reaching for the Sony WF-C710N earbuds. They have great battery life, a compact case for easy portability, really solid ANC, and a rounded sound profile worthy of the Sony name. Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti called them the best Sony earbuds you can get for under $100 (when they're on sale), and I'm comfortable saying they're some of the best earbuds under $100, period.

Check out our full review of the Sony WF-C710N.

People love the Bose Ultra Open earbuds, but the Sony LinkBuds Clip are just as comfortable, sound at least as good, and at their full price, cost about $70 cheaper than the Bose buds. I have testing samples of both on my desk, and I find myself reaching for the Sony buds more.

On sale, they're over $100 cheaper than the Bose Ultra earbuds. Mashable contributor Simon Cohen deemed these earbuds a Mashable Selects winner, which means they're a favorite of the Mashable team. This sale price of $198 marks their biggest discount ever, and the first time they've ever gone below $200. For earbuds that just launched in January, that's not too shabby.

Ive tested e-readers for years — these are the best Kindle deals in Amazons Spring Sale

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 05:00
The best Kindle deals from the Amazon Spring Sale: Best Kindle deal Amazon Kindle Colorsoft $169.99 (save $80) Get Deal Best Kids Kindle Deal Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Kids $189.99 (save $80) Get Deal Kindle Paperwhite Deal Amazon Kindle Paperwhite $134.99 (save $25) Get Deal Kindle Scribe Deal Amazon Kindle Scribe $249.99 (save $150) Get Deal

I read a lot and it's not just because I love it — which I obviously do — but it's also my job. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world that every day, I get to research and test e-readers. After years of testing, I'll confidently tell you that Amazon's Kindles are the best e-readers. My beloved Paperwhite is a true companion. It comes with me to the gym so I can read on the ellipitical. It's always in my beach bag in the summer. And you know I'm already loading up my Paperwhite's library for my upcoming trip to Greece.

If I've convinced you to jump on the Kindle train, that's perfect timing, as Amazon's Big Spring Sale is underway. Running March 25 through 31, the retailer dropped prices on its e-readers. The deals are a bit of a mixed bag. Some devices, like the Kindle Colorsoft and the Kindle Colorsoft Kids, are marked down to their lowest prices ever. Meanwhile, the rest of the line-up is on sale, but I've seen better deals.

That being said, if you want a Kindle for all your warm weather reading adventures, now is the time to buy. I've rounded up and explained the best Kindle deals of the moment so you can make an informed purchase.

Best Kindle Deals Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Kindle Colorsoft $169.99 at Amazon
$249.99 Save $80   Get Deal

Usually, the Kindle Colorsoft is way too expensive for my liking, but once it goes on sale, all is forgiven. During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, the Kindle Colorsoft is marked down in a big way. Right now, grab the Kindle Colorsoft for just $169.99. That saves you $80 off its $249.99 list price.

The big draw of the Kindle Colorsoft is its color displays. The e-reader has a color resolution of 150 ppi and a black and white resolution of 300 ppi. Even with the addition of color to the Kindle Colorsoft, it remains a speedy device. Plus, it comes with no ads. Temper your expectations around color with the Colorsoft: the hues tend to be more muted than what you get on a TV or tablet. The Kindle Colorsoft is waterproof, so you can take it to the pool or beach. If you're looking for a color e-reader, this is a deal to shop during Amazon's Big Spring Sale.

The best tablet deals in Amazons Big Spring Sale 2026: We found deals on the new iPad Air

Amazon's Big Spring Sale has arrived. The seasonal sale, which runs March 25 through 31, focuses on seasonal transition items — think cleaning supplies to freshen up your home and camping supplies to get outdoors. However, it wouldn't be a sale without tech deals, too.

We've spotted solid savings on tablets, good timing considering Apple just released a brand new one. The Apple iPad Air with M4 chip just dropped this month, and it's already on sale. But if iPads aren't your thing, don't worry, there are plenty of other tablet deals to shop.

Here are all the best tablet deals to shop during Amazon's Big Spring Sale.

Best iPad deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad Air (M4 chip, 128GB, WiFi) $559 at Amazon
$599 Save $40   Get Deal

Read our full review of the Apple iPad Air (M4).

Apple's latest iPad drop is the iPad Air with M4 chip. It's one of the brand's speediest, most efficient tablets, scoring 13,176 on the Geekbench 6 test, which puts it ahead of most laptops. When Apple released the new iPad Air, they didn't raise the price, keeping the midrange tablet at $599. However, it already received a price cut at Amazon.

During the Big Spring Sale, get the Apple iPad Air with M4 chip for just $559. While that's only $40 in savings and less than 10% off its list price, it's still a great deal considering it's a brand-new tablet.

So while we might like this deal best, if you want some bigger savings, there are plenty more deals to shop.

More iPad dealsBest Android tablet deal Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy S11 $739.99 at Amazon
$859.99 Save $120   Get Deal

The best Android tablet to compete with Apple's iPad is the Samsung Galaxy S11. It's more expensive than Apple's iPads, but it has everything we want in a tablet. Speedy processing for gaming and streaming, gorgeous displays and crystal clear resolution, adjustable app windows, and an included stylus for note-taking or drawing. We've previously tested the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, which is a step up from the S11.

During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 for just $739.99. That saves you $120 off its $859.99 list price for 14% savings.

The best laptop deals from Amazons Spring Sale — we found record lows on MacBooks

Mon, 03/30/2026 - 05:00
A quick look at Amazon's best Big Spring Sale laptop deals: Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $949 (save $250) Get Deal Best Windows laptop deal Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 (Intel Core Ultra 7 256V, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,199.99 (save $500) Get Deal Best gaming laptop deal Asus ROG Flow Z13 (AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $2,069.99 at Amazon (save $330 + free code for "Crimson Desert") Get Deal

I've spent the last three years as Mashable's resident laptop expert, a job I take very seriously. The fact of the matter is that a good computer usually isn't a cheap one, so I go to great lengths to make sure any laptop I recommend is worth the investment. Put another way: I'm very picky because I look bad if I tell you to buy an expensive machine that actually sucks.

I'm so picky that I also have opinions on where you should buy your laptop. Admittedly, Amazon usually isn't my first choice: It doesn't stock as many models as other tech retailers like Best Buy, and it's filled with listings from third-party sellers I don't fully trust. (They can have different customer service policies than Amazon itself, and they might be advertising misleading specs.) But there are always some good laptop deals available during Amazon's sitewide sales throughout the year — including its Big Spring Sale, live now through March 31.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026: Live updates on Apple, Samsung, DJI, and Kindle deals

So far, the best laptop deals I'm seeing on Amazon this week involve MacBooks, MacBooks, and more MacBooks. Almost every Apple laptop from the past two years is on sale, if it's still in stock, with the biggest price cuts going to 2025's M4 MacBook Airs. They're all $200 to $300 off, making them significantly cheaper than their iterative M5 replacements, which Apple announced earlier this month. (Those are also on sale already, but only for about $50 off.)

Things are less exciting on the Windows side, but I managed to find a Samsung Galaxy laptop and an Asus gaming convertible on sale for record-low prices. Feel free to add those to your cart now. Several Microsoft Surface Laptop 7s are up to 26% off, but since all of them have been much cheaper before, I'd wait to see if their prices drop further later in the sale. It's very possible: An M5 MacBook Pro has gotten $70 cheaper on Amazon since the event started on Wednesday.

I've rounded up my top picks below. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to a record-low price.

The 2025 MacBook Air is basically identical to its predecessor, save for its wireless chip and processor. (You're not missing out on much there: In our performance tests, the M4 version was only about six percent slower than the M5 model in both single- and multi-core workloads.) It features a vibrant Liquid Retina display, a backlit keyboard, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 12MP webcam with Center Stage support. At $949, this 13-inch configuration has never been cheaper.

This premium hybrid laptop features a crisp 16-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a slick 120Hz refresh rate. (At 3.73 pounds, it's pretty light for a device of its size.) Samsung has rated it for up to 25 hours of battery life per charge and throws in a free S Pen stylus for note-taking. Amazon is offering a Big Spring Sale discount of $500, which brings it down to a record-low price of $1,199.99. It's still full price at Best Buy and on Samsung's website, so don't bother buying it anywhere else.

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a zippy gaming convertible with a detachable keyboard and a buttery 180Hz display — GTA V's Ned Luke is a fan. This configuration is powered by a high-end AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip with integrated graphics that performed on par with an RTX 4060 GPU when we tested it in another Asus laptop. Amazon has it marked down to $2,069.99, which is 14% off its MSRP and its best deal to date. (Ignore Amazon's deflated list price; it actually retails for $2,399.99, according to Asus' website.) It also comes with a free PC download code for Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss' huge new fantasy-action adventure game.

This ROG Flow Z13 deal is price-matched at Best Buy, but it doesn't include the Crimson Desert code there.

20+ fitness tracker deals in the Amazon Big Spring Sale — we found Garmin, Apple, and Google on sale

We're officially halfway through Amazon's Big Spring Sale (which wraps up on March 31), and the discounts are holding strong. We've seen tons of deals on Apple products, robot vacuums, and speakers, but high-end fitness trackers are quietly getting some of the best price drops of the entire event.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026: Live updates on the top deals

Because we test wearables year-round, we know a good deal when we see one. Right now, the Google Pixel Watch 4 (it's also a Mashable Selects winner), is down to $289.99 (14% off). If you're an iPhone user, the Apple Watch Series 11 is sitting at $299 (25% off) — which is totally worth jumping on just for the battery life upgrade alone. And if you just want a budget-friendly, no-frills tracker, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is even more affordable right now at $69.95 (30% off)

Whether you prefer Garmin, Google, or an Apple Watch, now's the time to get one because we probably won't see discounts like this again until Prime Day.

Here are all the best fitness tracker deals you can shop at Amazon throughout the Big Spring Sale 2026.

Read Mashable's full review of the Fitbit Inspire 3.

If you just want a reliable, no-frills tracker that won't cost more than your gym membership, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is our favorite budget pick. It's normally priced right around $100, but for the Big Spring Sale, it's down to a very affordable $69.95.

In our review, Mashable's Sam Stone calls it the "budget-friendly fitness tracker of our dreams." It sits easily on the wrist and automatically categorizes your activities (so it knows if you're out for a bike ride or a run) without you having to manually mess with the settings.

Because we actually test these things, we do have to mention a couple of minor quirks. Stone says that the heart rate monitor can occasionally get a little inaccurate if your wrist gets super sweaty during an intense workout. Also, the battery life is closer to six or seven days rather than the advertised 10. But considering it fully charges in under two hours, that's barely an inconvenience — and as Stone points out, it "sure beats the Apple Watch's battery life."

Read Mashable's full review of the Google Pixel Watch 4.

If you aren't already rocking last year's model, the Google Pixel Watch 4 is an easy recommendation — especially while it's $60 off for the Big Spring Sale.

Mashable’s Senior Culture Reporter, Christianna Silva, says that while it looks similar to the previous version from afar, the new domed design "gives the smartwatch more depth and makes it feel more spacious and modern." One of the coolest upgrades is the new serviceable design. If you're handy with a tiny screwdriver, you can "open up the watch, and fix what you need to fix — including replacing the display and battery — all without breaking your warranty." It also features a custom haptics engine that’s 15 percent stronger and a much crisper speaker for when you're chatting with Gemini.

Read Mashable's full review of the Apple Watch Series 11.

If you're looking for a solid Apple Watch deal, this $100 price drop on the Series 11 makes it a pretty stellar value. It's been chilling at this price for a while now, and while the Big Spring Sale hasn't dropped it any lower, $299 for the newest Apple Watch ain't bad. In our review, Mashable's Senior Editor, Stan Schroeder, says the Series 11 has a significantly longer battery life compared to its predecessor. "When I got my unit, I charged it to 100 percent and started wearing it at about 4 p.m. I wore it during the night (my sleep score was 81, which sounds a lot better than it felt), and the next day at 4 p.m. it was still at 38 percent," he writes. "That day, I charged it to full power late in the evening, and I only had to charge it again two days later."

It also has a tougher design with Ion-X glass that's twice as resistant to scratches, and a Sleep Score and hypertension notifications for flagging high blood pressure.

Read Mashable's full review of the Garmin vívoactive 5.

While it's since been replaced with the newer vívoactive 6 (which is not on sale right now), the Garmin vívoactive 5 is still a really solid pick. It's a perfect all-rounder for someone who wants a fitness tracker with plenty of smartwatch features.

In our review, Mashable's Lois Mackenzie says it "feels like it closes the gap between fitness tracker and stylish smartwatch much better than the 4," adding that it reminded her of the Venu 3. It can track everything from long runs and rides to stress, sleep, and body battery, and adds high-end recovery metrics like Training Readiness — though Mackenzie did point out it lacks an altimeter for tracking elevation on trail runs. It has a bright and responsive AMOLED display, and gets up to 11 days of battery power (Apple could literally never).

I personally gifted this watch to my boyfriend (he loves it) after snagging an epic Black Friday discount, but it's now even cheaper. At $174.28, it's over 40% off and is down to the lowest price we've ever seen.

The Home Depot doesn't hold competition sales for any of Amazon's seasonal sales as reliably as Target or Walmart do. That doesn't mean that there aren't any good spring deals to be found at the Home Depot during Amazon's Big Spring Sale. You just have to scroll a little bit.

SEE ALSO: I test new vacuums every month. Here are the robot vacuum deals I think are worth it at Amazon's spring sale.

So far, the Home Depot is once again giving away some free power tools with select purchases — reminiscent of the BOGO cordless tool promo we saw during Black Friday. (But hurry, some of the free DeWalt deals have sold out already.) The Home Depot is also quietly competing with Wayfair's Big Outdoor Sale with discounts on outdoor furniture, as well as up to 40% off in other home categories, from mattresses to wallpaper to area rugs from big brands like Safavieh.

This compact bed-side device can server as your alarm clock, Bluetooth speaker, personal weather expert, schedule keeper, and more.

As Mashable's tech editor, it's my job to test the latest and greatest products from brands like Apple, Samsung, and DJI. But I also get to test cool under-the-radar finds and random gadgets that only true tech nerds know about. For the Amazon Big Spring Sale, I hand-picked a fresh batch of tech deals that are actually worth shopping. I've also included some deals from competing retailers — if they have a better price.

Between inflation, a global memory shortage, and overall economic anxiety (trust me — I'm feeling it, too!), you don't want to miss a chance to save some money.

I've personally tested many of these products, and I'm only recommending products with genuine discounts, because we all know big retailers like to play fast and loose with the definition of the word "deal."

Finally, a word of warning — Apple deals are moving fast. We've already seen the M3 iPad Air, AirTags, AirPods, and select MacBooks go out of stock.

Kindles starting at $94.99

I don't know what I'd do without my Kindle. As an avid book collector, I have literally run out of space to store books, and so I depend on my Kindle Paperwhite. And just like during Black Friday, you can grab my beloved Kindle on sale for $134.99, with the base Kindle available for under $100.

During the Big Spring Sale, you can shop wireless Sony headphones starting at just $48. On day five of the savings event, Sony's flagship cans, the famous XM6 headphones, are also discounted to $398, their best-ever price. I loved these headphones, and as I wrote in my review, "The ANC in the XM6 is as good as or better than any I've ever heard."

However, if you're looking for something in the mid-range, you can also grab the bass-heavy Sony ULT Wear Headphones on sale for $148, another Mashable Choice winner, at a 41% discount.

Amazon always delivers solid Apple discounts during its big sales, and this time around, you can score record-low prices Apple Watches and newly released MacBook Pro laptops. Early shoppers cleaned up on the M4 MacBook Air and M3 iPad Air, which are almost completely out of stock — womp, womp.

Pro tip: If you're looking for the AirPods Max headphones, they're in and out of stock at Amazon but still available at Target and Walmart — for now.

Anker makes my favorite fast chargers, and I literally use the company's GaN USB-C chargers every day of my life. However, the next Anker charger I want to try is this little phone charger, which comes with a smart display and fun colors (you can match it to your iPhone, if you're into that sort of thing).

$39.99 Save $12.00   Get Deal DJI drones on sale starting at $149

Yes, technically, DJI drones are banned in the United States, but they're still widely available from third-party sellers at Amazon. (It's complicated.) If you're a creator, real estate professional, or wedding photographer who wants to take beautiful aerial videos in 4K — or just an aspiring pilot looking to have some fun outdoors — these drones are by far the most popular choice.

Amazon Echo device deals

As per usual, some of the best deals of the spring Amazon sale are on Amazon's own products, particularly in the Echo lineup. I was at the fall 2025 event where Amazon unveiled its new Echo smart home products, which include refreshes to the popular Echo Dot and Echo Show devices. You can also grab Fire TV Sticks starting at just $14.99, letting you stream movies and enjoy cloud gaming at home.

We've been waiting for this one: Our favorite Bose headphones are finally discounted for the Amazon Spring sale. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2), the brand's current flagship, are supremely comfortable. In fact, our reviewer called them the most comfortable headphones in the world, full stop. And if you need something a little more affordable, their younger sibling is also on sale.

During Prime Day, you can grab TVs starting at just $99. However, I recommend spending a little more than that. You can grab a 55-inch Fire TV at a very reasonable price, or a 65-inch Samsung QLED TV, released last year and now getting its first big price cut.

Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for good deals on my favorite TV: The Frame art TV from Samsung. Strangely, The Frame is more expensive during the big Amazon sale.

For the Big Spring Sale, Amazon is going hard with DJI deals, and you can find massive discounts on the brand's popular line of creator gadgets. I personally use the DJI Mic Mini and DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal when shooting videos for Mashable (check our Instagram story to see my latest).

But let me also call your attention to the cult-favorite DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Vlogging camera, which almost never goes on sale like this. Pro creators and YouTubers are obsessed with this camera (in my review, I wrote, "it should replace whatever vlogging camera you're using now"), so grab it before it goes out of stock again!

$849.99 Save $250   Get Deal JBL Bluetooth speakers — save 27%

I'm a big fan of JBL's Bluetooth speakers. In my testing, they've beaten out more expensive Bluetooth speakers from brands like Bose and Sonos. They're also extremely portable, super easy to use, and totally waterproof, i.e., perfect for spring and summer hangouts.

Have you heard the bad news? Climate change is making seasonal allergies worse, which I can attest to firsthand. So, if you want to add some fresh air to your apartment or home, get a HEPA air purifier that can remove 99.98% of allergens, bacteria, and other microscopic particles. This Shark model is currently 45% off for Prime members, which is probably why it's almost sold out.

If you miss flip phones that slip easily into your pocket, then you'll appreciate this one.

During the Amazon Spring Sale, this trendy little flip phone is $500 off at Amazon. It's far more affordable than Samsung's Z Flip 7, too.

The best Apple iPad deals in Amazons Spring Sale — iPads are selling out fast

The best Amazon Big Spring Sale Apple iPad deals: Best budget pick Apple iPad, 11-inch (A16, WiFi, 128GB) $299 (save $50) Get Deal Best iPad Air deal Apple iPad Air, 11-inch (M3, WiFi + Cellular, 256GB) $769 (save $80) Get Deal Best iPad Pro deal Apple iPad Pro, 13-Inch (M4, WiFi, 256GB) $1,149.99 (save $149.01) Get Deal

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is live through March 31. This seasonal event ushers in discounts on all sorts of items, giving you an early-year treat before the major sales get going later in the year (like Prime Day). That even includes Apple products, a lot of which have fallen to record-low prices this week.

If you’ve been eyeing an iPad, we've spotted discounts of up to $199.01 across Apple's tablet lineup. The just-updated M4 iPad Air has a small price cut, while its M3 predecessor is nearly $200 off if you opt for a model with cellular connectivity. Some of the latter's configurations are starting to sell out, so don't wait too long to add one to your cart because these tablets are moving fast.

Below, we've rounded up the best live iPad deals so you don't have to go digging through Amazon's listings yourself. Note: Offers marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low.

$348.97 Save $49.97   Get Deal Why we like it

As we head into the back half of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, iPad deals are moving quick. Early in the sale, the iPad Air was down to its lowest price ever. While we think it's the best Apple tablet for most people, it's no longer at its lowest price so there are better deals to shop.

Instead, shop the already budget-friendly iPad which is down to $299. That saves you $50 off its $349 list price so for under $300, you're getting a stellar tablet. Is it the best price we've ever seen on the tablet? No, that price would be $271.29 so for right now $299 is pretty good.

But there are plenty of other iPad deals to shop, and we rounded up the best ones.
