35+ Amazon device deals in the Big Spring Sale: Echo, Fire TV, Kindle, Blink

Amazon's Big Spring Sale has arrived and with it, a boat load of discounts on Amazon's own devices. It officially runs from March 25 through March 31 this year and new deals will be dropping daily.

It only makes sense that Amazon would offer the biggest markdowns on its own devices, given that it's an Amazon sale, after all. So far, you can find Black Friday-level record-lows on several Echo speakers and smart displays, as well as Fire TVs. Blink cameras and some Kindles also got the deal treatment this time around. Price drops on Amazon's Fire tablets, on the other hand, are pretty scarce. We'll keep an eye out for any new Fire tablet discounts that may drop during the sale, but don't hold your breath. Also MIA from the sale (and the Amazon site in general) are the popular Echo Buds — usually a staple in major Amazon shopping events.

We're tracking all of the best Amazon device deals throughout the Big Spring Sale 2026 below. For deals beyond Amazon devices, be sure to follow along with all of Mashable's coverage in our Big Spring Sale hub.

Best Big Spring Sale Amazon subscription deal Opens in a new window Credit: Kindle Unlimited Kindle Unlimited $0.99 for 3 months (save $11.99/month) Get Deal Why we like it

Amazon's major sales are always an excuse for the retailer to offer extended free trials or discounted prices for its membership subscriptions. My personal favorite is this three-month Kindle Unlimited membership for just 99 cents. Usually $11.99 per month (an outstanding value, IMHO), that saves you about $35 in total. Kindle Unlimited unlocks instant unfettered access to a massive library of popular series, best sellers, classics, and more. And unlike the beloved Libby app, there's no wait times. You can borrow up to 20 books at once and you can read on any device (though we definitely recommend grabbing a Kindle while they're on sale).

$219.99 Save $30   Get Deal Why we like it

Amazon dropped four new Echo devices last fall specifically built for Alexa+, including the new super-powered Echo Studio smart speaker. This is technically the Studio's first update in six years, though it's a much different design than its predecessor. According to Amazon, you "can't find any smart speaker that sounds this amazing at this size." It packs Dolby Atmos and spatial audio into a Death Star-like orb that fits in the palm of your hand. It's even powerful enough to give your TV a boost. The speaker saw its first-ever discount during Black Friday, and that same discount is back for the Big Spring Sale.

Amazon's 4-Series Fire TVs aren't the most advanced in the brand's lineup, but they are the most popular. These TVs are for those who don't require a ton of bells and whistles. If you just want a decent looking TV that's great for streaming, the 55-inch 4-Series 4K Fire TV is an excellent value — especially now that it's back down to its best price ever. It was redesigned in 2025 to sport an ultra-slim bezel, a new quad-core processor for speedy navigation, and Alexa+. It also packs 4K UHD picture quality with support for HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Sound, and Omnisense technology that wakes up the TV when you enter the room to show you artwork or your favorite comfort show.

$39.99 Save $22.00   Get Deal Why we like it

Amazon practically gave away the Fire TV Stick 4K Select during Black Friday season, so we're hoping to see a return of the $9.99 discount price during the Big Spring Sale. Even if we don't, its current discount price of $17.99 is still pretty dang great. It's the newest Fire TV Stick in Amazon's lineup and delivers 4K quality with HDR10+ support, the plug-and-play design you know and love, and a new operating system called Vega. It also offers support for Alexa+, Amazon Kids+, Amazon Luna, Xbox Game Pass, and NordVPN.

$249.99 Save $80   Get Deal Why we like it

We don't usually recommend the Kindle Colorsoft because the price tag is simply too steep. But now that it's $80 off its $249.99 list price, it's the best value e-reader you can get. It's practically the same device as the Kindle Paperwhite, but adds a full spectrum of color, with a resolution of 150 ppi and a black and white resolution of 300 ppi. Otherwise, it's a speedy, waterproof, seven-inch e-reader with no ads and a battery life that won't quit (up to eight weeks!). Plus, it allows you to actually highlight in color.

The best Pokémon deals in Amazons Big Spring Sale: Trading cards at record-low prices

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has officially begun, and there's plenty are plenty of deals for Pokémon shoppers to hunt down.

Amazon has discounts and preorder price cuts across a wide range of categories — gaming deals, TV deals, Lego deals, and much more — making this a good time to shop if your wishlist includes sealed TCG products, collector boxes, or a couple of first-party Pokémon titles.

That's what we love about these sale events. No matter what you're into, Amazon has you covered. And if Pokémon is your thing, look no further. Wannabe trainers can pick up some great bargains.

Best Pokémon Elite Trainer Box deal Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box $102.95 at Amazon
  Pre-order Here

With Pokémon TCG's Perfect Order expansion finally out this week on March 27, we're at the turning point where pre-launch ETBs will start going well above $100 upon release — making this the best time to grab the Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box for under $100.

Soon after, we predict the Perfect Order ETB will follow the market's usual trend (like other Pokémon ETBs on Amazon), going well above the $110 mark as availability starts to drop. Now is the best time to jump in before that happens.

The Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box includes nine Perfect Order booster packs, a full-art foil Tyrunt promo card, 65 sleeves, 40 Energy cards, a player’s guide, dice, a coin, a collector’s box, six dividers, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

With Pokémon deals going fast, the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes is one of the best deals in the current Big Spring Sale — down to $133.94 from $159.99, saving you $26.05 on a premium poster box with a nice selection of booster packs. It's now only $14.44 above TCGplayer's market price value of $119.50.

This set includes 10 booster packs, a foil promo card of Mega Lucario ex, and a double-sided poster.

$279.99 Save $32   Pre-order Here

With a new price cut of over $30, pre-ordering the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Display Box (36 booster packs) for $247.99 means you're only paying roughly $6.88 per booster pack; that's almost $5 off compared to buying Perfect Order boosters individually.

So unlike an Elite Trainer Box, you are not getting sleeves, dice, or storage extras. 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.

The best headphones deals in Amazons Big Spring Sale — Sony leads the pack but theres an excellent JLab deal too

If you're in need of an audio upgrade, Amazon's Big Spring Sale has come at the right time. Alongside discounts on products like TVs and Apple products, this mammoth sales event will see a wide range of discounts on both headphones and earbuds.

This will be the third year Amazon hosts the sale, and while the mega-retailer puts emphasis on spring-appropriate deals (think outdoor gear, cleaning supplies, and robot vacuums), the prior two years of the sale show that some tech deals get thrown in the mix.

SEE ALSO: When is Amazon's Spring Sale in 2026? Amazon just announced official dates.

The weeklong sale officially kicked off on March 25, and I've done my combing as one of Mashable's headphones experts to find over 20 deals that offer Spring Sale-worthy savings.

So far, the best savings are coming from Sony headphones, but you'll also find deals from brands including Sennheiser, Nothing, Samsung, Google, Marshall, and JBL. We'll be updating this post throughout the sale, and any deals no longer available with be marked with a strikeout.

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, we recommend the Sony WH-CH720N). That said, if you're looking for the best of the best, we think they offer some of the best sound, noise cancellation, and all-day wear available. Plus, unlike their predecessor, 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 Lux are surprisingly great for a pair of headphones under $100, and right now you can get them for just $41.99.

Check out our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM6.

$129.99 Save $41.99   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

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. 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.

More early earbuds deals Best open earbuds deal Sony LinkBuds Clip $198 at Amazon
$229.99 Save $31.99   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

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. 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 one of our favorite products we've tried. 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.

The Heated Rivalry soundtrack is coming to vinyl and CD: Where to buy every variant

Wed, 03/25/2026 - 17:21

The viral bops from Heated Rivalry are finally getting a physical release. Billboard reports that the soundtrack album to Crave's hit gay hockey show will drop this summer on CD and vinyl (in two different variants, no less).

Preorders open this Thursday, March 26 through Milan Records, a Los Angeles-based record label. Fans can sign up for availablity updates on its website. Pricing hasn't been announced yet.

The album includes 11 songs that were featured in the first season of Heated Rivalry, including Wet Leg’s "mangetout," t.A.T.u's "All the Things She Said," and Harrison's clubby cover of the latter. It also comes with a previously unreleased bonus track called "One Soul (Cottage Mix)," written by Peter Peter, the Canadian composer behind the show's original score.

View this post on Instagram

That full 34-track score will be available on the CD, while the vinyl version has a selection of 18 tracks from it. Both formats will ship with a double-sided poster and liner notes by Heated Rivalry showrunner Jacob Tierney. The vinyl includes two extra trading cards and double-sided disc sleeves printed with imagery from the show, making it a true collector's item.

SEE ALSO: 'Heated Rivalry' fans, we've got your next must-see MLM romance

Based on author Rachel Reid’s bestselling Game Changers book series, Heated Rivalry follows a secret romance between Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), two fictional rival hockey players. The show debuted on HBO Max and the Canadian streaming service Crave last November to surprise success, spawning a passionate fandom and turning its leading men into superstars overnight.

Season two of Heated Rivalry will begin production this August, a month before Reid releases her seventh Game Changers installment, Unrivaled. It's now available for preorder.

The Heated Rivalry soundtrack CD features two discs printed with shirtless photos of Rozanov and Hollander. The vinyl comes in two variants that are identical save for their pressing colors:

  • The "Montreal vs. Boston Edition" includes two-toned LPs pressed in red/blue and black/yellow, representing the show's two main hockey teams.

  • The "Icy Inferno" variant has two clear LPs.

The CD and the Montreal vs. Boston Edition vinyl will both be widely available at major retailers and indie record stores. The Icy Inferno vinyl variant will only be sold through Milan Records and Sony Music Canada.

Summer playlist secured. Credit: Milan Records

Listings will start to go live at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday, but don't bother setting your alarm. "Stock is not limited for the pre-order, so no need to wake up early or worry about missing it!" Milan Records states on an FAQ page. "There will be plenty of options for purchase during the initial pre-order launch."

The CD and both vinyl variants are slated to start shipping on July 10, the same day the album arrives on digital, per Billboard. Visit Milan Records' website to check out the complete tracklist.

OpenAI’s Sora shutting down: When it happens, 2 AI video alternatives

Wed, 03/25/2026 - 17:10

You may have heard that OpenAI is killing its Sora AI video generation tool. However, that doesn't mean it's the end of the line for AI video generation in general.

Sam Altman's company announced the surprising move on Tuesday afternoon, in conjunction with Disney axing its big-money partnership with OpenAI at the same time.

The nature of the announcement made it seem, at least from the outside looking in, that things are moving quickly inside OpenAI right now. In other words, when Sora will fully shut down and what that means for your creations hasn't been revealed. In an X post announcing the decision, the Sora account merely said "We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Well, OK then! While OpenAI works all of the specifics out, it's time for anyone who really liked using Sora to investigate other alternatives for AI video generation. Here are some easy options.

Google Veo 3

The most mainstream option is going to be Google's Veo 3 model, which Mashable called "shockingly realistic" when it launched last year. You can make videos that look better than most other models, but obviously, nothing is free. You'll need one of Google's paid AI plans, which also come with enhanced Gemini features and access to Nano Banana, among other things. These start at $7.99 per month, so they aren't the most expensive thing in the world, but you'll need to ask yourself if you want to pay monthly for the ability to generate videos. That question will come up again as you look for alternatives to Sora.

Luma Ray3

Speaking of money, Luma's Ray3 model is also known for producing realistic, high-quality videos, but at a cost. And it's a steep one compared to Veo 3. The cheapest plan is $30 monthly, so by comparison, Veo 3 is a steal. That said, Ray3 has a deep bench of editing tools, native 1080p video generation, and some other bells and whistles that might make it worth the price, depending on what you plan on doing with it.

Best Buy’s Tech Fest is officially over, but these leftover deals are still worth your money

Wed, 03/25/2026 - 16:55

Best Buy spring deals 2026: Best TV deal 65-inch Samsung Class S84F OLED 4K UHD Vision AI Smart Tizen TV $899.99 (save $1,100) Get Deal Best laptop deal 15.6-inch Acer Chromebook 315 (Intel Celeron N4500, 4GB LPDDR4X, 64GB eMMC) + Protective Sleeve $149 (save $150) Get Deal Best Apple Watch deal Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS, 42mm) $299 (save $100) Get Deal

The Amazon Big Spring Sale is all anyone can talk about right now (which, fair, it's basically a pre-game for July's Prime Day event). But Amazon isn't the only retailer dropping prices this week.

In a completely unsurprising move to steal some of that spotlight, Best Buy threw its own Tech Fest sale over the weekend. The official event technically wrapped up, but a ton of those discounts are still live on the site as of March 25, including markdowns on big-ticket items like OLED TVs, noise-canceling headphones, and Apple products.

SEE ALSO: Amazon's Big Spring Sale is back: The best deals already live on Apple, robot vacuums, headphones, and more

So before you blow your entire shopping budget at Amazon, here are the best leftover Best Buy deals you can add to your cart right now.

$1,999.99 Save $1,100   Get Deal Why we like it

There are literally hundreds of leftover deals still floating around Best Buy's site right now, and we'll be updating this piece as we dig through more of them. But if we had to single out a discount to jump on right this second, it's this one. Scoring a 65-inch Samsung OLED for under $900 is basically unheard of outside of Black Friday. If you've been waiting for an excuse to finally upgrade your living room setup, saving over a grand on a premium display beats paying full price for whatever shiny new model drops next month.

The best TV deals in Amazons Spring Sale — score budget QLED TVs at record-low prices

Wed, 03/25/2026 - 16:43
The best Amazon Big Spring Sale TV deals at a glance: Best 55-inch TV deal Hisense 55-inch Canvas QLED 4K TV $687.99 at Amazon (save $306) Get Deal Best 65-inch TV deal TCL 65-inch QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV $997.97 at Amazon (save $500) Get Deal Best 75-inch TV deal Hisense 75-inch U7 Mini LED QLED 4K TV $897.96 at Amazon (save $398) Get Deal

Most of the year's major flagship TVs announced in January are typically out by the end of March, cueing retailers to push deals on last year's TVs even harder. March was further established as one of the best months to buy a TV when Amazon started holding a massive annual spring sale. This year, it's longer than ever: The 2026 Big Spring Sale runs from March 25 through 31. And a ton of TVs are included in the sale.

SEE ALSO: What to look for when buying a TV, as told through this easy TV specs guide

It's not just Amazon's in-house Fire TVs that see big discounts during the Big Spring Sale — they're hardly the best TVs you can get for the money right now. The most worthwhile Amazon TV deals are from solid budget brands like TCL and Hisense, with a few premium options like Samsung's The Frame thrown in. To find deals on premium 2025 OLEDs, Best Buy tends to have way more options.

We’re tracking the strongest Amazon TV deals throughout the Big Spring Sale, with a rolling list updated as prices change. Every model featured here is at, or lower than, its previous best price based on data from camelcamelcamel, so these are genuinely competitive offers. We’re also watching for fresh discounts across the models we've picked as the best 65-inch TVs you can buy this year.

Best Big Spring Sale TV deal Hisense 75-inch U7 QLED 4K TV $897.96 at Amazon
$1,297.99 Save $400.03   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

One TV that's actually beating its previous record-low sale price is the 2025 75-inch Hisense U7. Currently 31 percent off, it's $103 cheaper than it was just a month ago during Presidents' Day sales.

The 2026 version of the same TV was just unveiled on March 6, so a new price drop on the predecessor model certainly tracks. The 2026 75-inch U7 will cost $1,999.99 — more than $1,000 steeper than the 2025 model's $897.96 sale price. Those are the kind of steals we were talking about. The 65-inch model is also at a new record-low $697.96 if 75 inches is a bit larger than you'd like.

This mini LED model packs a serious punch for the price. Its brightness in SDR and HDR gets consistently great notes across the internet, with glare handling strong enough for most sunlit rooms. You don't always see a 165 Hz refresh rate in budget to mid-range TVs, so the Hisense U7 is a top contender for an XL gaming TV under $1,000.

Netflixs Apex trailer teases Charlize Theron being hunted in the Australian wilderness

Wed, 03/25/2026 - 16:39

If there's one thing we've learned from Australian survival thrillers, it's that it's never a good idea to venture out solo into the wilderness — and if you do, you definitely want to avoid asking the locals for directions.

A cat-and-mouse survival game plays out in the Netflix trailer above for Apex, which sees Charlize Theron being hunted through the mountains by an impressively creepy Taron Egerton.

From the looks of things we can expect beautiful scenery, rock climbing and kayak-based action sequences, and plenty of shots of Egerton grinning while wielding a crossbow.

Apex is streaming on Netflix from April 24.

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 supples 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 dropped 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.

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 retailers 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.

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.

Amazon just dropped the Apple iPad Air to its lowest-ever price — save $199 during the spring sale

Wed, 03/25/2026 - 15:24

As of March 25, the Mashable-tested Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M3) is down to $549.99 in the Amazon Big Spring Sale. Not only is that $199.01 off the list price of $749, but it's also the lowest-price ever for this device, beating the previous record by about fifty bucks.

So, if you’ve been looking to add a new iPad to your arsenal of smart devices, now’s the moment to strike. Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, which officially launched today, has delivered a ton of Apple deals. But so far, this is the one that’s really caught our eye — thanks in part to its stunning Liquid Retina Display and our first-hand experience with it.

When Apple released the M1 version of the iPad Air back in 2022, we said that it was too powerful. And that's quadruply true for the new M4 version that was just released a few weeks ago. Honestly, this previous-gen iPad Air is right in the sweet spot, with a relatively affordable price tag and a genuine discount.

We've practically composed poems to this tablet's design in our reviews over the years. The iPad Air is incredibly thin and light, and until it's capable of folding, it's hard to imagine how this tablet could get much sleeker. The only thing it's really missing is the HDR and OLED display of the iPad Pro, which also costs a lot more.

It’s not all about looks, of course. That stunning display needs power, which comes in the form of Apple’s advanced M3 chip with support for Apple Intelligence (which will be important when the new AI Siri makes its debut later this year).

Other features include Touch ID, an all-day battery, and great tools for graphic designers. And as a lightweight Air model, it’s easy to take in your bag — perfect for commuters or anyone who works on-the-go. The 12MP camera is also perfect for high-quality video calls and general snaps.

Don’t miss the Apple iPad Air 11-inch in the Amazon Big Spring Sale. Now reduced to just $549.99, its lowest ever price for savings of $199.01.

20+ fitness tracker deals to shop in the Amazon Big Spring Sale — save on Garmin and Apple

Wed, 03/25/2026 - 14:56
The best Amazon Big Spring Sale fitness tracker deals at a glance: Best Apple deal Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS, 42mm) $299 (save $100) Get Deal Best Garmin deal Garmin vívoactive 5 $174.28 (save $125.71) Get Deal Best Google deal Google Pixel Watch 4 (WiFi, 41mm) $289.99 (save $60) Get Deal Best Nothing deal Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro $69 (save $30) Get Deal Best Samsung deal Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic (Bluetooth, 46mm) $369.99 (save $130) Get Deal

Amazon's third annual Big Spring Sale runs through March 31, and while we saw a few early deals last week, the main event is finally here. Items like Apple products, robot vacuums, and speakers are heavily reduced, with more to follow. Even high-end fitness trackers got the discount treatment, with deals to be found on many brands including Garmin, Google, and of course, Apple Watches. So, if you've been looking for a fitness tracker to assist your routine, now is the perfect time to buy.

The biggest discounts we're seeing right now are on last-gen Garmin watches, but we'll be updating this list as new price drops appear. We're still keeping a close eye on a couple of big names, like Whoop and Oura, to see if they drop their prices now that the sale has started.

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

While it's since been replaced with the newer vívoactive 6, the Garmin vívoactive 5 is still an excellent choice. It's a perfect all-rounder for someone who wants a fitness tracker with plenty of smartwatch features. It can track everything from long runs and rides to stress, sleep, and body battery, has a bright and responsive AMOLED display, and boasts 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.

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 awhile now, so we're hoping to see the Big Spring Sale drop it down even lower. But even if it doesn't, $299 for the newest Apple Watch ain't bad. It brings significant battery improvements over its predecessor, which alone makes it worth the upgrade. It also has a tougher design with more durable glass that's twice as resistant to scratches, 5G capability for seamless connectivity, and a Sleep Score and hypertension tool for flagging high blood pressure.

Sony and Honda have killed their Afeela electric car

Wed, 03/25/2026 - 14:51

It was not meant to be.

Shortly after Honda discontinued several upcoming electric vehicles of its own, Sony and Honda's joint electric vehicle project Afeela has come to an abrupt end.

In a joint statement, the companies said they would "discontinue the development and launch of its first model, AFEELA 1, and its second model," as well as review their business direction together.

While Sony Honda Mobility (SHM), the joint automotive venture between Sony and Honda, has not effectively been killed yet, the statement said the company will "continue to discuss and evaluate the future of SHM," with an announcement coming "at the earliest possible opportunity."

In other words, with no cars on the horizon, SHM is on life support, and it seems unlikely it will ever do much besides be unceremoniously dismantled in the near future.

Unlike Honda's "0 Series" concepts, SHM's Afeela appeared to be quite close to production, with the company showing an upgraded version of Afeela 1 just months ago at CES.

SEE ALSO: Remember those cool Honda 0 Series electric cars? They're not happening.

The sleek, techy Afeela 1 was envisioned as a car that puts entertainment first, with features including PlayStation Remote Play, an AI assistant, and videoconferencing. The starting price was set at $89,000 in the U.S., with the launch intended for late 2026.

The "second model" mentioned in SHM's statement is likely the Afeela 2 SUV, which was supposed to launch further down the line.

Apple fans rejoice because Amazon’s latest sale event, the Big Spring Sale, is knocking down prices here, there, and everywhere.

There are deals for shoppers looking for anything from a MacBook and Apple Watch to something much smaller, like the Apple AirTag. If you’ve never used the AirTag before, it’s a fantastic little gadget that will prevent you from ever using your valuables again. Unlike other Bluetooth trackers, it has the added bonus of syncing with all your Apple tech.

The Apple AirTag four-pack is currently at just $59.99, which according to camelcamelcamel is its lowest-ever price. That gives you a saving of $39.01 — 39% off the list price of $99.

All you need to do is to attach the AirTag to your valuables — such as slip it in your wallet or purse, or attach it to your keys — and you can track it using the Find My app.

It’s super simple to set up. Just one tap will connect it with your iPhone or iPad. You can also get it to play a little tune to help you track down misplaced items — or just ask Siri for help, of course — and when items are actually lost, put it into lost mode and the broader Find My network will use other Apple devices to locate them. 

As a bonus, you can share your AirTag with up to five people, which allows friends and family to also keep tabs on items for you. 

Find a bargain on the Apple AirTag today, now at just $59.99 — its lowest-ever price.

It's easy to forget that DJI sells power stations, too. But the brand recently revamped its portable power lineup, and the upgraded DJI Power 1000 V2 is practically tailor-made for anyone shooting video. In her recent review, Mashable's Lauren Allain writes: "After testing the upgraded DJI Power 1000 V2, I'm convinced this is a great model for content creators, those who prioritize a super-quiet power station, or anyone looking for exceptional value in portable power."

It has a 1,024Wh capacity and features dedicated SDC ports that can super-fast-charge your DJI drone batteries, so you can get back in the air in about 30 minutes. Plus, when the station itself finally runs out of juice, you can plug it into a standard wall outlet and hit a full 100 percent charge in just 56 minutes.

Samsungs A37 and A57: midrange phones with some premium features

Wed, 03/25/2026 - 14:00

Samsung just recently launched the Galaxy S26 lineup — but in this economic climate, expensive flagship phones aren't for everyone. That's where the company's two newest handsets come in.

The Korean tech giant announced the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 phones on Wednesday. These two mid-range devices, priced at $449 and $549, could be intriguing options for Samsung fans who want premium specs without paying more than $1,000 for a Galaxy S26 Ultra. They're available on April 9. The A57 only comes in one color called Awesome Navy, while the A37 comes in four: Awesome Charcoal, Awesome Lavender, Graygreen, and Awesome White.

SEE ALSO: Samsung adds AirDrop support to Galaxy S26 Here are all of the A37 colors. Credit: Alex Perry/Mashable

Here are the specs for the A37, which is the cheaper and more modest of the two phones:

  • 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate

  • Exynos chipset

  • 6GB or 8GB RAM

  • 128GB or 256GB storage

  • 5,000mAh battery

  • Three rear cameras: 50MP wide, 8MP ultrawide, 5MP macro

  • 12MP selfie camera

And here are the specs for the Galaxy A57, which is a very similar phone but with some extra bells and whistles to justify the price difference:

  • 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate

  • Exynos chipset

  • 8GB RAM

  • 128GB or 256GB storage

  • 5,000mAh battery

  • Three rear cameras: 50MP wide, 12MP ultrawide, 5MP macro

  • 12MP selfie camera

Good website. Credit: Alex Perry/Mashable

The phones are pretty close to each other in terms of specs. The more expensive A57 has higher base RAM and a slightly better rear camera array, as well as a couple of bonus AI photo editing features that aren't available on A37: Best Face and Auto Trim.

The A37 does have access to many of Samsung's other AI editing tools, as well as AI staples like Circle to Search.

Another reason you might opt for the A57: it's 0.5mm thinner and 27g lighter than the A37. It's no Galaxy S25 Edge, but I did get to hold and use both phones briefly at a press event, and I can confirm the A57 is a tad bit more comfortable in the hands.

Aside from size and weight, the phones are similar beasts. They both come with Android 16, and the Exynos chips inside of them seemed to make apps load quickly and smoothly in my brief time using them.

For the first time, Samsung has given its midrange options IP68 dust and water resistance. That should make them at least marginally more durable, depending on how adventurous you are.

This feels like a slightly more important midrange launch for Samsung than usual, given the tumultuous economy and RAM shortage that's making high-end tech more expensive than ever. Since the Google Pixel 10a was relatively disappointing this year, maybe Samsung can snatch the "best midrange Android phone" crown away from Google.

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is officially underway today, and we’re already seeing some pretty promising price drops across multiple categories, including $300 price cuts on MacBooks and $400 off Apple Watches.

Of course, we’re holding out to see if Amazon’s going to gift us with additional Apple deals, but there’s no denying the Apple AirTag deals are worth jumping on right now.

The updated Apple AirTag 2 is still at full price ($29 each or $99 for a four-pack), but you can get a four-pack of first-gen AirTags for just $59.99 right now.

These little trackers are total lifesavers for anyone who's always misplacing their keys or wants some peace of mind by stashing one in their checked luggage. (I use them to keep tabs on my dogs when I'm visiting my parents.) You can track your stuff directly in the Find My app, and if you’re nearby, your iPhone can lead you straight to the exact cushion your wallet is hiding under.

(Note: If you really only need one, single first-gen AirTags are also marked down to $24 right now.)

The best drone deals to shop in Amazons Big Spring Sale — loads of DJI drones at all-time lows

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 $50) Get Deal Best Premium Drone Deal DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo $1,099 (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, heavily discounting everything from robot vacuums to Apple products. Fortunately, drones are getting the exact same treatment. If you've been waiting for a solid price drop to finally pull the trigger on a new model, your patience just paid off.

To save you some digging, 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.

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.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is officially live from March 25 to 31. This event typically ushers in discounts on all sorts of items, giving you an early-year treat before the major sales events 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 $200 across Apple's tablet lineup — even the just-updated M4 iPad Air. (Its predecessor is way cheaper, though.) We’ve pulled together the best live deals to make things easier. Note: Offers marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low.

We consider the iPad Air to be the best Apple tablet for most people: It's great for everyday activities like streaming and reading, but it's also powerful enough to use like a laptop. You can get an 11-inch M3 model with cellular connectivity for just $549.99 during the Big Spring Sale, or about $200 off — its biggest discount ever. The newer M4 version without cellular is $5 more expensive, and you're only looking at a small gen-over-gen speed boost there.
