Amazon is gearing up for its next major shopping event, likely the highly anticipated Prime Day, which is expected to take place in July. However, this hasn’t stopped the retail giant from rolling out a variety of seasonal promotions. One of the most exciting upcoming sales is the Amazon Big Spring Sale, set to take place from March 25th to March 31st. As always, Amazon is leading the charge with early deals on popular items including Bose headphones, Fire TV devices, and video doorbells.
Among the early discounts, the standout offer is on Google’s Pixel Tablet, which is now available at a remarkable price. You can purchase it with its speaker dock starting at $399 (a savings of $100) or without the dock for an all-time low of $279 (a discount of $120). If you prefer shopping elsewhere, both Best Buy and Google offer the base model at the same price.
The Google Pixel Tablet features an impressive 11-inch display, powered by the Tensor G2 chip that is also found in the Pixel 7 lineup. Its crisp LCD screen and four-speaker sound array make it an excellent choice for streaming, web browsing, and light gaming. While the Android app ecosystem may not match the optimization found in Apple’s offerings, this tablet still stands out as one of the best options available in the Android market.
With the addition of the optional charging dock, users can enjoy enhanced audio quality while transforming their tablet into a makeshift smart display. This feature is particularly useful for those who want to manage their smart home devices using Google Assistant or simply enjoy their content on the tablet’s large screen.
If you’re in the market for a budget-friendly fitness tracker, the Amazfit Active 2 offers exceptional value. However, for those looking for a minimalist design, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is currently discounted at Wellbots for $74.95 (a savings of $25) when using the promo code VERGE25. This basic fitness band offers top-notch features including excellent sleep tracking, stress management capabilities, and notifications for irregular heart rates. It boasts a bright OLED display and an impressive battery life of up to 10 days, even with the always-on display feature disabled.
In gaming news, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to launch on March 20th. If you’re looking to preorder Ubisoft’s latest open-world title, the Xbox Series X/S version is available at Newegg for $59.99 (a $10 discount) using the coupon code ACSPPXD at checkout. Based on early impressions, this game appears to refine previous titles rather than reinvent the wheel, while embracing a fan-favorite setting and bringing back the dual protagonist system from Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.
For those interested in drawing tablets, the Wacom One 12 pen display is currently on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart for $249.95 (a discount of $50), matching its all-time low price. This 11.6-inch display features a resolution of 1920 x 1080p with 99 percent sRGB coverage. Unlike many display tablets designed for professional creatives, it connects via a single USB-C cable, making it compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and Chrome OS. This cross-platform compatibility ensures a smooth experience regardless of your operating system preference.
