Amazon Spring Deal Days: Exciting Discounts on Tablets and Smartwatches

Amazon's Spring Deal Days mark the retailer's first major sales event of the year. This article highlights fantastic deals on tablets and smartwatches, with a look at smartphone discounts to follow shortly.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+ feature 10.9-inch and 13.1-inch displays, respectively, both boasting 90Hz IPS LCDs. They are powered by the Exynos 1580 chipset and offer expandable storage. The smaller model has an 8,000mAh battery, while the larger version is equipped with a 10,090mAh battery.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ features a larger 12.4-inch 120Hz OLED display. It is equipped with a high-end, albeit two generations old, Dimensity 9300+ chipset, provides expandable storage, and includes a 10,090mAh battery. This model supports full DeX functionality, including video output through USB-C 3.2.

The Galaxy Tab A11 serves as Samsung's budget-friendly option. This 8.7-inch tablet features a 90Hz LCD display and is powered by a Helio G99 chipset. It has a relatively small 5,100mAh battery and only supports 15W charging.

The Xiaomi Pad 8 and Pad 8 Pro share an 11.2-inch display with 144Hz 12-bit IPS LCD technology. The primary distinction lies in the chipset: the standard model is powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, while the Pro variant features a Snapdragon 8 Elite. Note that storage is not expandable for either model.

The tablets differ in camera specifications as well; the Pro model includes a 50MP main and a 32MP selfie camera, compared to the standard’s 13MP main and 8MP selfie camera. However, cameras are not usually a primary concern for tablet users. Both devices share a 9,200mAh battery, although the Pro charges slightly faster at 67W compared to the Pad 8's 45W.

The Redmi Pad 2 and Redmi Pad 2 Pro come in two sizes—11 inches and 12.1 inches—equipped with batteries of 9,000mAh and 12,000mAh, respectively. Both tablets use IPS LCDs and support expandable storage. The Pro version offers a higher-quality LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision support, while the standard model features a Helio G100 Ultra chipset, compared to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 in the Pro.

Shifting focus to smartwatches, we start with the new Apple Watch Series 11, which boasts a generous 1.96-inch rectangular display and a slim profile at just 9.7mm. This model includes ECG capabilities and a depth gauge rated for dives up to 6 meters.

The Apple Watch SE 3 was also updated at the same time (September of last year), but it retains an older design. Its 1.78-inch display lacks advanced health features like ECG and does not include a diving gauge.

The first-generation Apple Watch Ultra is priced lower than the Series 11. It also includes ECG functionality and is certified for diving up to 40 meters, and the differences with the Ultra 3 are comparatively minor.

On the Wear OS side, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic features a rotating bezel and a distinctive 'squircle' shape. This model includes ECG capabilities and a blood pressure monitor.

Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 lacks the rotating bezel, allowing for a larger display (1.47 inches vs. 1.34 inches) while maintaining a smaller body (44mm). Notably, the 40mm version matches the Classic's screen size at 1.34 inches, and the standard model is slimmer at 8.6mm compared to the Classic's 10.6mm.

Samsung made minor updates to the Galaxy Watch Ultra in 2025, doubling the storage to 64GB and adding a new band color. However, the rest of the specifications remain unchanged from the 2024 model.

If the squircle design isn’t to your taste, the older Galaxy Watch7 offers a rounder silhouette. This model is 1.1mm thicker than the Watch8, featuring a 1.5-inch display on the 44mm version and a 1.3-inch display on the 40mm variant. Both the Watch7 and Watch8 utilize the same Exynos W1000 chipset and support ECG and blood pressure monitoring.

The Google Pixel Watch 3, while an older model, remains a solid choice (the Watch 4 is not included in Spring Deal Days). It is available in 45mm (1.4-inch display) and 41mm (1.2-inch) versions, both featuring ECG sensors.

The Xiaomi Watch 5 is a Wear OS smartwatch featuring a 47mm stainless steel case and a 1.54-inch display. It is relatively thick at 12.3mm but houses an impressive 930mAh Si/C battery compared to the 590mAh battery found in the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Additionally, it includes an ECG sensor.

For those looking for basic notifications and health tracking, the CMF Watch 3 Pro offers a budget-friendly option at under £100. It features a 1.43-inch display and a 47mm case diameter, though it is quite thick at 14.4mm and includes a smaller 350mAh battery.
