It feels like we just said hello to the summer of 2021 and, now, (at least according to Amazon) we’re waving it goodbye. The departure of sunglasses, ice cream and beach days is marked by some decent tech deals as we get ready to cosy up for the colder months.
We’ve rounded up some cracking deals from the likes of Xiaomi, Anker, Samsung, Razer, Bose and more from Amazon’s End of Summer sale. You’ll find everything here from a huge QLED TV and top-of-range noise-cancelling headphones to some cut-price Apple alternatives from Anker and Tile. Gamers can also rejoice with headsets, mice and keyboards on offer.
It's Prime Day 2023, so we've uncovered the top discounts. Check out the best Prime Day deals in the UK here.
Amazon End of Summer sale deals
£30 off Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, now £249: When it comes to over-ear headphones, Bose has incredibly tough competition from Sony’s WH-1000XM4 (£245). However, the Bose NC700 offer a strong alternative if Sony’s offering doesn’t take your fancy. While the Sony headphones are understated, Bose’s offering certainly stands out from the crowd a bit more – if you’d prefer something a bit more flash. The high-end specs are there too, with 11 levels of noise-cancelling and four microphones onboard.
£30 off Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 4GB/128GB, now £119: If you’re looking for a solid Android phone that doesn’t break the bank, it’s hard to go wrong with Xiaomi right now. The Redmi Note 9 is a predecessor to one of our top budget phone picks right now, the Redmi Note 10 Pro (£249). While this cheaper model has to cut back in some areas, you get a mobile gaming-friendly MediaTek processor, 48MP main camera and decent 6.43in 2340x1080 FHD display.
£300 off Samsung 75in Q60A QLED TV (2021), now £1,299: If you found yourself watching the Euros and longing for a bigger screen experience, now might be the time to upgrade before the World Cup in 2022. That’s what you’ll get with one of Samsung’s latest 75in QLED TVs. Its Crystal Processor for quality upscaling, 100 per cent colour volume and Quantum HDR (HDR10+) combine for a bright and rich 4K experience.
£15 off Tile Mate + Slim Combo (2020), now £25: While Apple’s AirTags (£29) aren’t as prohibitively priced as some of its accessories, there’s still value to be found snapping up alternatives. This set of two Tile trackers beats the price of one AirTag and offers up its tried-and-true Mate tag and credit card-shaped Slim for all your lost-and-found needs.
£6 off Anker PowerWave Magnetic 2-in-1 Stand, now £34: Like Tile and its trackers, Anker is doing a great job of offering a viable alternative to Apple accessories. This charger takes advantage of the MagSafe magnets inside your iPhone 12 to create a charging stand that you can slap your phone on for a top-up whenever you need. Many non-Apple magnetic chargers for iPhone 12 haven’t managed to provide an all-in-one solution, instead simply providing a stand for a MagSafe puck to sit in – Anker has gone that bit further and it’s extremely useful.
£55 off Razer Huntsman Elite gaming keyboard, now £144: Look no further, the Hunstman Elite is still our WIRED Recommends best gaming keyboard. Its laser-powered mechanical switches are the best on the market and Razer’s signature RGB LEDs are all present and correct. There are handy media controls for your convenience too.
£18 off HyperX Cloud Alpha S gaming headset, now £76: The gaming headset is stronger than ever now Sony and Microsoft have stepped up their game with high-class products of their own. However, wired headsets, like this Cloud Alpha S, offer unrivalled compatibility. This model also comes with immersive 7.1 surround sound, a breathable leatherette material and noise-cancelling.
£9 off Razer Atheris Stormtrooper Edition, now £34: If you’re a Star Wars fanatic or are just looking for something a bit different, this cheeky gaming mouse offers quirky looks and strong performance. The specs on offer are a whopping 350-hour battery life, 7,200 DPI and 2.4GHz connectivity. A bit much? You can also get this ambidextrous mouse in black for slightly cheaper – Razer Atheris (Black) (£31).
£22 off SanDisk Extreme 400GB microSDXC, now £66: MicroSD cards, of course, offer plenty of use cases across various AV products and their super-portability makes them perfect for the job. But, they are also an essential accessory for the low internal storage-touting Nintendo Switch. 400GB will greatly expand the number of games you can take with you on the go – with no pesky cartridges needed when you can load up with digital games.
£7 off Razer Kraken V3 X Wired USB gaming headset, now £35: Razer offers plenty of quality gaming and lifestyle products but they often come at a high price. Thankfully, this entry-level wired gaming headset is much more wallet-friendly. The Kraken V3 X, despite its low price, offers a surprisingly light yet luxurious feeling build as well as 40mm drivers and 7.1 surround sound.
