Best Prime Day phone deals 2026: these offers stole the show
Prime Day is officially over. In case you missed it, this summer, the event kicked off earlier than usual, starting officially on June 23 and running through June 26, 2026.
Over four days, shoppers could get some of the best Android phones at unbelievably low prices. I followed the whole sale closely, continuously comparing prices at different retailers. Now, with the sale over, it's time to talk about what happened and which were the absolute best Prime Day phone deals you could take advantage of.

Prime Day deals on Galaxy phones

Throughout the Prime Day event, Samsung kept rolling out better discounts on the best Samsung phones. Not only did the Galaxy S26 Ultra get $380 off in the final hours (discounts in the first day were $350), but the Galaxy S26+ ended up with a massive $457 discount on Day 4 of the sale.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE and the Z Fold 7 were some of my favorite promos, too. This year, you could get the book-like foldable for $610 off, while the Z Flip 7 FE remained 40-44% off throughout the shopping spree.
You could save big on Galaxy A models as well. During Prime Day, the Galaxy A37 was a fantastic bargain at a $115 discount, while the Galaxy A17 was down to its best price after a 29% markdown.
Prime Day deals on Pixel phones

While Galaxy phones got some of the highest discounts this summer, Pixel devices weren't left out. Fans of the Gemini AI experience could grab either the Pixel 10 Pro or the larger Pixel 10 Pro XL with an identical $315 discount.
For fans of the "base" Pixel phones, the Pixel 10 was down by $250 in the first few days of the event, but then the discount was magically increased to $280. Even the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which got a $400 discount on June 23, 2026, when the event kicked off, later received an improved $415 price cut.
All of these bargains were amazing, but the Pixel 10a was probably my standout deal. This recently launched mid-ranger could be yours at its lowest price following a $100 discount.
Prime Day deals on Motorola phones

I expected the latest Motorola phones to receive their first straight-up discounts once Prime Day kicked off. Well, I was wrong. The Razr Fold was available with freebies worth $350, but there was no discount on the phone itself.
But that doesn't mean 2025 options got the same treatment. In fact, you could save a massive $615 on the Razr Ultra (2025) at Amazon. The same merchant brought the Moto G Stylus (2025) and the Moto G Power (2025) down by $100.
Another epic promo at Amazon allowed Prime members to save 35% on the Razr+ (2025). To me, the Razr (2025) was one of the best offers, as it was on sale at $150 off at Motorola. The official store shipped this phone with several gifts worth a total of $470.
Prime Day deals on iPhones

As I've said many times in the past, Apple phones don't usually go on sale in brand-new condition during shopping events. The situation was no different this year, with Amazon selling no new iPhones at lower prices.
That said, limited-time offers on renewed premium models made it surprisingly easy for iOS fans to save big. For instance, the iPhone 17 Pro was down by $165, while the iPhone 13 got a 19% discount. I also came across a renewed premium iPhone 14 model, which could be yours for 15% off its original price.
Unlike other deals I came across, these renewed premium offers at Amazon lasted for less than 48 hours, so shoppers didn't have a long time to save.
Users who wanted a new model could also save $300 on the iPhone Air. This offer was available through Metro by T-Mobile, which meant buyers had to meet the carrier's requirements in order to save.
Prime Day deals on other brands

Those who wanted an out-of-the-box brand (other than Google, Apple, or Samsung) could grab the OnePlus 15 with a $100 discount this summer. The promo was available through the official store, though, and Amazon surprisingly didn't make this flagship cheaper.
However, the e-commerce giant landed the Nothing Phone (3) down by $200, while the Phone (4a) Pro got a 15% markdown. In other words, there were some exciting offers on less popular brands this year, though Amazon didn't roll out epic price cuts in this segment.
Are Prime Day phone deals worth it?
Absolutely! Prime Day is one of the largest shopping events of the year, and it brings serious price cuts on flagship and budget models alike. That said, users seeking an iPhone in a fully unlocked condition might not be in luck, as those almost never appear.
How to get the best cell phone deals on Prime Day?
Right here! I closely observe each Prime Day event, curating the best promos on the hottest devices right here to spare you the effort.
How to pick the best smartphone deal?
Focus on newer models. Those are usually the most desired devices, as they offer longer software and security support, notable display and performance upgrades, and more. The best part? Newer 2026 and 2025 models usually receive the deepest price cuts on Prime Day!
How fast do Prime Day phone deals usually sell out?
Pretty quickly! For popular models like Samsung's Galaxy S phones or Google's latest Pixel phones, stocks can run out even within hours. And while they may be replenished, there is no guarantee they will be available at the same massive discount. So, if you've set your sights on a particular model, it's best not to hesitate and grab it as soon as possible.
