Best tech deals of the week: Galaxy S21 Ultra, Fire Tab, Samsung SSD’s and more
Spring is here, which means warm weather, a fresh breeze, birds chirping, and some pretty awesome deals on devices and accessories for you to take advantage of. This week, we have big savings on Amazon’s Fire HD 10, along with being able to save almost $100 on the best wireless ANC headphones on the market. Oh, and Samsung has discounted both the Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra, saving you up to $200. You definitely won’t want to miss out on these, so check out the list below for the best deals of the week.
Amazon Fire HD 10
By now, the Amazon Fire HD 10 has gotten a little bit long in the tooth, as it’s been available since 2019. However, it’s still a fantastic tablet to have around the house to act as a smart home hub or to catch up on your favorite Kindle books. Today, Amazon knocked a staggering $82 off of the 64GB model, bringing the price down to a paltry $107.99 with free Prime shipping. This is one helluva deal and one that you certainly won’t want to miss out on.
Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones
Sony’s WH-1000XM4 headphones are still the talk of the town, and the industry leader if you’re looking for the best over-ear headphones with ANC built-in. The headphones are extremely comfortable to use, and are our go-to’s whenever we need to sit down and get some work done at the computer. For a limited time, you can save more than $70 off of these bad boys, and that’s just something you won’t want to pass on.
Samsung T7 Touch Portable SSD
You can never have too much storage, and you can never have too much fast storage. So while the Galaxy S21 and OnePlus 9 don’t have microSD card slots, you can still use something like the Samsung T7 Touch Portable SSD to offload those video recordings or pictures from last weekend’s getaway. Plus, you have peace of mind knowing your files are protected thanks to the built-in fingerprint scanner.
Skagen Falster 3 Smartwatch
There aren’t too many smartwatches to choose from if you want Wear OS without missing out on some key health-tracking features. Skagen’s Falster 3 smartwatch fits the bill quite nicely with Wear OS on board, along with fast charging to go from 0-80% in less than an hour. You’ll also be able to use this to track things like your heart rate and workouts, and it can even go for a swim with its 5ATM rating. Today, the Falster 3 has dropped to just $199, down from its retail price of $295.
Apple iPad (10.2-inch)
The Android tablet is a frustrating mess outside of Samsung tablets, which is why we almost always recommend grabbing an iPad if you’re in the market for a new tablet. The base model Apple iPad features a 10.2-inch display, while being compatible with the Apple Pencil and there’s even a detachable keyboard case you can grab if you plan to try and get some work done. If you’ve been waiting for a good deal to drop the price, now’s your time to shine, as you can save $30 on the base model iPad with 128GB of storage.
Sony Xperia 5 II
Sony smartphones always seem to miss the mark here in the U.S., but the company has to be doing something right if it can afford to keep releasing new iterations on a regular basis. The Sony Xperia 5 II is powered by last year’s Snapdragon 865 and 6GB of RAM along with either 128GB or 256GB of RAM. Although it’s missing out on the latest SD888 seen in devices like the Galaxy S21 and OnePlus 9, the Xperia 5 II still offers a great value and plenty of power. Now, you can save $100 on the Xperia 5 II, bringing the price down to just $849.
Apple M1 MacBook Air
Apple is taking the computer world by storm with its M1 processors that seemingly run faster than anything else on the market, short of the absolute top-of-the-line Windows hardware. But the amazing part about this little laptop is that not only can you save $30, but it’s priced at just $969, so you’ll get fantastic performance at a relatively-low price.
Samsung Galaxy S21 / Galaxy S21 Ultra
Even though the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro are here, it seems that the Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra will retain the title of best Android phone, for now at least. It certainly helps that we’ve seen various discounts and promotions for Samsung’s latest flagship handsets, and that includes a deal that knocks $100 off of the Galaxy S21 and $200 off of the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / Galaxy Tab S7+
Samsung is simply the best when it comes to providing a great Android tablet experience, making the Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+ easy recommendations. Those recommendations are made even easier when you consider that you can save $120 on the base model Tab S7 and almost $180 off of the Tab S7+. It doesn’t get much better than this, at least until Samsung releases the eventual successor to these tablets.
Save $20 on the OnePlus Watch ahead of its release
Rounding out the best deals of this week is a rather surprising one. To celebrate the launch of the OnePlus 9, 9 Pro, and OnePlus Watch, the company is offering $20 vouchers that will save you some cash on the OnePlus Watch when it launches on April 14th. In order to claim this deal, just head over to the OnePlus promotions page, login with your account, and claim the voucher. Then, when the Watch goes up for sale, the coupon is automatically applied to your cart, so you can get the OnePlus Watch for just $139. But you’ll want to hurry because after the vouchers run out, that’s it, and you’ll have to pay the $159 retail price.
