Amazon has dropped prices on several of its bestselling devices from smart speakers to tablets just in time for last-minute Christmas shoppers.
Alongside half price or better deals on gadgets perfect for tech lovers, the surprise sale also includes the likes of Ring doorbells and cameras to upgrade your home for the New Year. Delivery is available as late as December 23 in time for Christmas Eve if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, with a free 30-day trial available to new customers right now for free fast delivery in time for your final festive shopping spree.
The biggest savings to be had in the sale when it comes to Amazon’s own brands are on the Echo Buds Wireless Earbuds, which have a whopping 65% off – meaning you can snap them up for £44.99 instead of £129.99. These earbuds have virtual assistant Alexa built-in as well as Bluetooth, a microphone and noise-cancelling properties, and this is only the fourth time they have been reduced down to this price since their launch in 2022.
Another major bargain among the Amazon deals is on the Echo Pop Smart Speaker which has 58% off, bringing its price down from £44.99 to £18.99 – matching its Black Friday price which was the cheapest deal of the year on the speaker, according to price tracker CamelCamelCamel.
The Echo Pop is a newer, more compact version of the popular Echo Dot smart speaker – also currently reduced to less than half price at £26.99 – coming equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and virtual assistant Alexa so you can control your music, audiobooks and podcasts with your voice. Available in black, lavender or teal, the speaker can also be linked up to other compatible smart home devices, while Alexa can set timers, tell you the news or weather, answer questions and more.
Meanwhile, if you’re still on the lookout for Christmas gifts for the kids, the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro Tablet is now down to its lowest ever price with 50% off at £74.99 instead of £149.99. Perfect for downloading games, videos, books and music for on-the-go entertainment, this device is designed specifically for children and boasts an all-day battery life of up to 13 hours.
The tablet also comes with a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ included, which normally costs £4.99 per month, and is a streaming platform specially designed for young children ages three to 12 with fun and educational content from the likes of Disney, Nickelodeon, Lego, Peppa Pig and more.
If you want to treat yourself at the same time, Amazon has also dropped the price of the Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet for adults from £99.99 down to £49.99 in another half price deal.
Another gadget perfect for younger members of the household is the Echo Dot Kids Smart Speaker, which is less than half price in the Amazon sale with a price tag of £28.99 instead of £64.99, available in a cute owl or fearsome dragon design, which also includes one year of Amazon Kids+ and easy-to-use parental controls.
Amazon isn’t the only place where shoppers can get discounts on gadgets ahead of Christmas, with Currys offering £50 off the Apple AirPods Pro, now £179 down from £229, as well as the Bose QuietComfort Wireless Earbuds, now £129.95 reduced from £179.95.
