Some of the most popular Galaxy phones went on sale during October's 48-hour shopping spree. During the first few hours of Day 1, options like the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 were available at $350 and $200 off, respectively. But prices went down by another $15 as the event unfolded.
Same thing happened on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which got knocked to its best price at a smashing $400 discount. But by Day 2 of Prime Big Deal Days, the phone got an extra $15 cheaper, making it even harder to resist.
There was also a generous $100 discount on the Galaxy A36 and a solid 18% markdown on the Galaxy A16, which turned the ultra-cheap phone into a total no-brainer.
But the true highlight of this October event was the Galaxy S25 Edge. Throughout the 48-hour spree, Prime members could buy it with an epic $490 discount.

While we didn't expect Pixel 10 models to go on sale for the event, we were pleasantly surprised to find the whole Pixel 10 lineup on sale (except for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which was still in pre-order at the time). The bigger Pixel 10 Pro XL became a much more affordable choice after a stunning $250 discount, while the more compact flagship was $200 cheaper for Prime members.
Even the Pixel 10 was on sale, and during the event, you could get it with a $150 discount. The Pixel 9 series was heavily discounted as well. During the 48-hour shopping craze, you could grab the Pixel 9 Pro XL and the Pixel 9 Pro for $350 off. The Pixel 9a was another hot choice, available with a solid $150 price cut.

Motorola phone fans were in for a treat as well. This October, users could save $300 on the Razr+ (2025) or grab the Razr (2024) with an epic $300 discount. The mighty Razr Ultra (2025) was also available at lower prices. Throughout the event, the device remained $300 off. And the best part? This offer was available to everyone, not just Prime members.
We also came across a $100 discount on the Motorola Edge (2025) and a $250 price cut on its predecessor. Even Moto G options received hefty discounts, with the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) becoming 50% cheaper!

As you might know, Amazon rarely sells brand-new iPhones at discounted prices. But you could still save on refurbished premium devices during the event! Options like the iPhone 15 Pro Max dropped under the $720 mark in renewed premium condition, helping you save quite a bit on this powerful iOS device.
Those who prefer new models could also get the iPhone 17 Pro for $0.00/mo. with a new line activation and a trade-in at Verizon.
October Prime Day deals on other brands

Users seeking something other than Apple, Samsung, Pixel, or Motorola could save as well. Options like the OnePlus 13 were very tempting at $250 off, and the Nothing Phone (3) got $100 off its original price.
Other models, such as the OnePlus 12, dropped just under $650 after a tempting $250 price cut on the 16/512GB variant. However, the OnePlus 12 only remained at that price on Day 1 of the event.
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—those almost never appear.
