Galaxy S23 Prime Day deals this October
The second iteration of the Prime Day savings event at Amazon brought smashing discounts on the entire S23 family. For instance, the S23 was about $130 cheaper during the shopping spree, and the official retailer prepared an even better deal for those who had an older phone that they could trade in. Trade-in discounts on the S23 at Samsung.com were as high as $615, helping you save up to 77% on this incredible smartphone.
Interestingly enough, we saw the same $615 trade-in credit going live for the S23+ at the official store. As for the S23 Ultra, this device was available at up to $900 off with a trade-in straight from the manufacturer, which was also the best deal we saw on Samsung's non-foldable flagship phone.
Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 second Prime Day deals
Prime Day 2's discounts weren't all about the S23 Family, though. That's to say, we came across plenty of cool markdowns on Samsung's foldables – the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5. During the October shopping spree, Amazon slashed some $300 off the Z Fold 5 price tag, turning it into a real treat. Of course, there was an even better deal at the official store. Here, you could save up to $1,000 on the same device, and it was even sold with a FREE Slim S-Pen Case, a gift worth almost $100.
Over at Amazon, you could get the incredible Z Flip 5 at about $160 off, which was decidedly a good deal given all the cool features and style this smartphone has! Over at the official store, discounts for the same device ranged around the $600 mark with a suitable trade-in.
Galaxy A Series Prime Day promotions this October
The Galaxy A54 was heavily discounted during both days of the October Prime Day event. This fantastic mid-ranger was retailing at $120 off its price tag, which landed it at a much more attractive price.
We saw other Galaxy A models at discounted prices, including a 19% markdown on the Galaxy A32. Entry-level models like the Galaxy A23 and the Galaxy A04s also arrived at lower prices during the event. However, their discounts were much less attractive.
Galaxy S22 and older Galaxy flagship phone deals this Prime Day
This October, Amazon allowed shoppers to save 19% on the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Although that's not the latest Galaxy flagship phone, it still provided a lot of value for money at 19% off its price tag. The vanilla Galaxy S22 was another device to see its price tag heavily reduced by Amazon during the 48-hour shopping event. This smartphone was retailing at $300 off its price tag.
Those who wanted a carrier subscription alongside their new handset could take advantage of Best Buy's offer on the Galaxy S21 FE with a carrier subscription to AT&T. This handset was offered at $200 off on Best Buy.
To get the most out of Prime Day at Amazon, you will need a Prime membership. Check out our dedicated "Is Amazon Prime membership worth it?" post for a recap of the process.
Is Prime Day a good time to buy a Samsung phone, or should I wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
In short: yes. Typically, many retailers provide discounts on popular Samsung models during Prime Day, making it a great time to purchase a new smartphone. However, keep in mind that discounts offered on Prime Day may not be as substantial as those available on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
How much can I expect to save on Samsung phones during Prime Day?
That's a tough question right there! It really depends on the model and generation. Older phones, such as the Galaxy S21 and S22 series, are sure to receive bigger discounts than the latest flagship series. The same goes for the foldable range – Galaxy Z Fold 4 deals during Prime Day will most likely beat Galaxy Z Fold 5 deals. You can expect to save $50, $100, and sometimes even more during Prime Day.
