Amazon is slashing its smart home gadgets for Spring Prime Day — 16 deals on Fire TV, Blink, Echo, Kindles, and more

You can get Amazon's standard Fire TV Stick for just $16.99 — a new record-low price. In our Fire TV Stick review, we found the original version was a cheap way to add essential smart features to your TV, including access to streaming apps in HD, Alexa voice controls, and the ability to control other smart home devices.

Amazon's new Fire TV Stick 4K Plus streams shows and movies on your TV in ultra-high definition 4K resolution. This updated version now supports Dolby Vision, Wi-Fi 6, and includes 2GB of RAM. This deal from the Amazon Big Spring Sale is a return to the record-low price and excellent value for an all-around streaming device.

This is $2 shy of the record-low price for Amazon's premium streaming device. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max streams the same content at the same quality as the standard 4K version, but the extra power inside delivers faster app navigation. Plus, it uses Wi-Fi 6E technology to deliver a more stable, consistent streaming experience.

The 4K Fire TV Cube is Amazon's fastest-ever streaming media player, functioning as a smart speaker that allows you to control your smart home devices. The Fure TV Cube features Dolby Vision, HDR, and Dolby Atmos support, and works with Amazon Alexa for hands-free control

For some super-cheap smart home tech, you can check out Amazon's best-selling Blink Mini security camera for $14.99. The basic indoor HD camera works with Amazon Alexa and alerts your smartphone whenever motion is detected.

Don’t underestimate its size (and price point, for that matter), because this tiny security camera boasts a hi-res 2K camera and a spotlight for nighttime visibility. Thanks to Amazon's spring sale, you can get the newly released security camera for $25.99.

Amazon's spring sale offers an impressive 30% discount on this easy-to-install Ring Indoor Cam. This plug-in security camera works with Alexa and offers motion detection and real-time notifications, so you can stay up to date on what's happening.

We consider the Outdoor 4 the best outdoor security camera, so I'm obviously going to call it out while it's available at a 45% discount in the Amazon Big Spring Sale. It's wire-free and satisfyingly simple to set up, with a battery life of up to two years. It features a user-friendly app that lets you make the most of 1080p HD video and two-way audio, with additional features available with a Blink subscription.

Another top deal from the Amazon Big Spring Sale is the all-new Blink Video Doorbell for only $35.99. The Blink doorbell alerts you when motion is detected and features infrared night vision, two-way audio, a two-year battery life, and an expanded field of view.

If you have wiring for a doorbell, this is an excellent deal on Ring's top-tier doorbell, knocking $50 off the list price. In addition to all the features of the Video Doorbell Plus, you'd get 3D motion-detection to track the paths of people on your property, with a bird's-eye view of what's happening.

If you're looking for more robust sound, Amazon's Big Spring sale includes the Echo Dot for $39.99. Amazon's best-selling smart speaker offers an improved audio experience, plus a new temperature sensor and all the handy features from Alexa, like playing music, answering questions, and checking the weather completely hands-free.

Amazon's Echo Spot pairs a 2.83-inch touchscreen with a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker, making it an ideal smart alarm clock. With Alexa onboard, you can ask the assistant for the weather, play music, or even schedule alarms. Today's spring deal is just $5 shy of the record-low price.

Whether you want the smarter audio features like Lossless High Definition and Automatic Room Adaptation, or just love the idea of a more premium-looking speaker with faster Alexa responses, the Echo Dot Max is a great choice. Today's deal from Amazon's Big Spring Sale is a record-low price.

The latest Echo Show 15 just recently saw a big refresh, bringing its specs up to speed and offering a better Alexa experience. These were the first smart displays from Amazon to see the Alexa+ treatment and, naturally, therefore offer one of the better user experiences with Amazon's gen AI-boosted subscription service, and I'd say they're a slightly better buy if that's your end goal.

Amazon has brought back a decent but not spectacular deal on the latest Kindle Paperwhite for its Big Spring Sale. We found in our Kindle Paperwhite review that it's packed with features to suit all avid readers, including a 12-week battery life, glare-free 7-inch screen, adjustable warm light, and storage space for thousands of books. At just $10 more than Black Friday, this is a good buy and one of the best ereaders out there; it's just a shame that the days of even bigger discounts are well in the past.

Get all the benefits of Kindle technology, but now in color, for a record-low price. We're big fans of the seven-inch Colorsoft display, which looks fantastic, boasts high contrast, and is easy on your eyes. Additional features include paper-like visuals, the ability to highlight text in different colours, and the ability to adjust the display to read in bright sunlight or in the dark.
