The cat's out of the bag: Amazon's Big Spring Sale is set for March 25 through 31. Of course, in true Amazon fashion, plenty of deals are already popping up a week in advance. We've rounded up some of the best ones that you can shop as of March 19, including big brands like Sony, Google, and Amazon itself.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day if you want to get a jumpstart on saving. If none of these are your cup of tea, stick around as we select a new batch of deals tomorrow.
Our top pick: Google Pixel 9 Pro
While the display is slightly bigger and thinner than the Pixel 8, most of the Pixel 9's upgrades are under the hood. It boasts a larger battery capacity with faster charging speeds, a next-gen Tensor G4 chip (which is nearly 20 percent faster), a new 48MP ultrawide camera lens, an eye-popping 30x zoom feature, a 35 percent brighter display, and a healthy dose of AI features from Google Gemini. If you're rocking an older Android phone, it's totally worth the upgrade — especially while an unlocked model with 256GB of storage is on sale for just $849. That's 23% in savings and its lowest price on record.

Sony ULT Field 1
Mashable's Shopping and Reviews Editor Miller Kern took the Sony ULT Field 1 for a spin and gave the portable Bluetooth speaker a glowing 4.5 out of 5 stars. Particularly, she credited its sound quality, customizable EQs, and bass-thumping ULT setting for its high rating. The battery life could always be a bit longer, but 12 hours is still acceptable. Typically $129.99, you can grab it for less than $100 as of March 19. That's 25% in savings and just $10 away from its best price ever.

Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids
The Fire HD 10 Kids features a 10.1-inch 1080p full HD display, 3GB of RAM, up to 13 hours of battery life, and is 25 percent faster than its predecessor. Its durable case with a built-in kickstand ensures it can handle kid-friendly adventures, while the included year of Amazon Kids+ ensures your kid will never be bored. The Kids+ subscription offers a massive library of books, games, and educational apps for little ones. Our favorite tablet for kids, it's also on sale as of March 19 for the very affordable price of $139.99. That's 26% in savings.
Google Pixel tablet (128GB)
Thankfully, Google's first tablet is much better than its first smartwatch. While the specs aren't anything to write home about, they're completely acceptable; it packs a Google Tensor G2 chip with 8GB of RAM under its hood, 8MP cameras on the front and back, and an 11-inch 2560 x 1600 display. It'll also last you up to an impressive 12 hours per charge. Where it really shines is as a useful smart display when paired with the speaker dock (sold separately). Regularly $399, it's on sale for just $279 as of March 19. That's 30% in savings and matches its best price ever.

It packs over 2,000 pieces of museum-quality images to choose from, features WiFi-6E, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos support, and gives you the ability to play Xbox games without a console. Just $59.99 on a regular day, it's down to $39.99 as of March 19. That's 33% in savings.
