Best bargains on Amazon devices at Spring Deal Days

Back in 2007, Amazon released its first ever device – the Kindle.

In the 18 years since, the retailer’s range of gadgets has expanded to include everything from tablets to speakers to smart home solutions. The good news? Loads of the latest releases are discounted in the Amazon Spring Deal Days sale.

You can get everything from a Fire Stick for TV streaming to an Alexa for on-demand music, as well as Ring Doorbells so you can speak to delivery drivers from the other side of the world, Echo Shows for easy home management or Blink Outdoor cameras for extra security – all for less than the RRP.

Whichever you choose, each is designed to add something to your day-to-day life, whether it’s relaxation, productivity, convenience or security. The retailer is an expert at designing tech which seamlessly integrates, so the more devices you buy, the more useful they become – you can answer a Ring Doorbell on an Echo Show or ask an Alexa to turn on your Fire TV, for instance.

Whether you’re buying your first or your tenth, there’s no better time to invest than Amazon Spring Deal Days, a week-long affair which promises discounts across everything from household appliances to children’s toys – and you can always be certain there will be strong offers across the own-brand tech.

The only snag? You’ve only got until March 31 to bag the deals. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. So, if you see anything you like the look of, be sure to add it to your basket to avoid disappointment.

Keep scrolling for the best deals on Amazon devices available now.

New Amazon Kindle (16 GB)

Whether you’re looking to upgrade your old Kindle or you’re jumping on the e-reader bandwagon, Amazon’s most recent release is the brand’s lightest, most compact yet – and it boasts longer battery life and glare-free screen too.

It’s not often you see price cuts on the latest design. So, even though it’s only 16 per cent off, it’s unlikely to be cheaper any time soon. Our advice? Take the discount while you can.

Amazon Fire Stick TV Streaming Devices

Never before has there been quite so much content to watch on so many services. Sit down to the new releases with Amazon Fire TV, which allows you to stream 4K to your set or the Amazon Fire TV Stick, which comes with and without 4K. Some models also feature Alexa Voice Remote to allow you to watch what you want just by holding down the mic and saying it out loud. Say goodbye to endless scrolling.

Ring Battery Video Doorbell (2024 release)

Hawker of practically everything under the sun, Amazon has had its beady eye trained on the home security game for nearly a decade now (the first model launched in 2014).

The latest iteration comes with head-to-toe viewing with crystal clear HD clarity, a long-lasting built-in battery and a free 30-day trial of Ring Protect so you can try it out for size with everything beamed to an app for easy viewing.

As for the DIY? Done in five minutes flat.

Echo Show 8 (Newest gen)

Why buy a product that can only do one thing when Amazon’s Echo is so great at wearing multiple hats? This bedside companion has it all, from an 8-inch screen that can display time, date and temperature, to a stereo speaker that allows you to play music, the radio or talk to folks back at home. The smart assistant speaker can even set your alarm for you just by issuing a simple voice command. It doesn’t get higher spec than this.

Blink Outdoor

Best for: not having to charge often

Blink’s Outdoor camera stands out through its use of ordinary AA batteries instead of a built-in rechargeable cell, and for squeezing up to two years of use out of them.

The brand does have a subscription cloud storage service you can use, but you don’t have to pay up. Yet you can still add the Sync Module 2 to your network to store clips on a USB drive.

The camera offers motion detection with custom motion zones, 1080p video with IR night vision, a phone app and Alexa integration, plus IP65 ingress protection so it won’t mind being caught in the rain.

Amazon Fire TV Cube

If you’re a TV junkie, maybe a Fire TV Cube would be more your speed. It offers a faster, more powerful and feature-rich alternative which supports ethernet connections, higher-end audio and more storage. And it acts as an Echo speaker too with built-in hands-free Alexa – so it’s basically two for the price of one.

Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet

The latest iteration of Amazon’s Fire tablet is here with a bright and clear 11-inch display, 4GB of RAM and a pleasing 14 hours of battery life.

Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablet

It’s not only adults who can benefit from the wonders of an Amazon Fire tablet. Why not treat your kids to their own device while it’s better than half price? There’s child-friendly books, games and videos, as well as parental controls for certain ages.
