Amazon US Prime Day deals: Apple and Android tablets and smartwatches, plus headphones
Prime Day Deals: The Best Tablets, Wearables, and Audio Gear
We are officially two days into Amazon’s massive Prime Day event! While we already highlighted the best smartphone discounts yesterday, today we’re shifting our focus to the rest of your digital ecosystem. From high-powered tablets to the latest smartwatches and headphones, here’s a look at the best tech bargains worth grabbing.
Apple iPads
Amazon is currently liquidating stock on their latest 2024 iPad models. Whether you’re eyeing the M4-powered iPad Pro 13 or the compact iPad mini, now is the time to strike. Notably, the new iPad mini runs on the A17 Pro chipset, specifically engineered to handle Apple’s latest AI-driven features.
Android Tablets for Every Need
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S series remains the gold standard for Android tablets, offering the unique advantage of video-capable USB-C ports. If you’re looking at the Tab S10 FE series, keep in mind that while they support DeX, they are limited to the tablet screen itself.
For a more specialized use case, check out the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active lineup. These are built tough with replaceable batteries and pogo pins for docking. They’re technically designed for kiosks or vehicle mounts, but they make incredible smart home control panels because they can run on external power without needing the battery to stay charged.
Amazon Fire Kids Tablets
If you’re a parent, don’t miss the deals on Amazon Fire Kids tablets. These are a rare find because they come ad-free out of the box and include a year of Amazon Kids+, giving your little ones access to a huge library of Disney, Marvel, and Lego content.
Wearables: Apple and Beyond
Already picked up a new iPhone? It’s the perfect time to pair it with a discounted Apple Watch. If you’re in the Android camp, you’ve got even more flexibility. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch series offers 4G variants for total independence from your phone, while the Google Pixel Watch 4 adds a crucial safety net with its built-in satellite SOS feature—a lifesaver if you happen to lose your phone or find yourself in a dead zone.
Upgrade Your Audio
Whether you’re after top-tier noise cancellation or a pair of lightweight earbuds, our curated list covers all the heavy hitters. We’ve rounded up the best options from Sony, Apple, Samsung, Nothing, and CMF. Check our dedicated reviews before you buy to ensure you’re picking the sound signature that matches your taste.
Don’t Forget Expandable Storage
With flagship smartphones moving away from microSD slots, it’s refreshing to see tablets keeping the tradition alive. We’ve spotted some great deals on high-speed cards—like the Samsung P9 microSD Express (perfect for high-performance devices) and the SanDisk Max Endurance, which is built to survive years of constant overwriting in security cameras. If you just need extra space for your media, grab a high-capacity card like the 2TB Lexar option.
