This may sound weird, but I believe one of my favorite moments of the (extended) holiday shopping season often comes after sales events like Amazon Prime Day.

That's because the e-commerce giant has made a habit of keeping many of the best tech deals going several days longer than officially scheduled, and most of the time, these extended offers come with absolutely no special requirements.

That's currently the case for a legitimately mind-blowing number of post-October Prime Day 2026 promotions, which are no longer member-exclusive affairs, and believe it or not, a few discounts available today are somehow even higher than what was on offer earlier this week.

These top three deals are simply astounding

$510 off (32%)

How can you possibly turn down the chance to snap up the state-of-the-art Galaxy S26 Ultra with 512 gigs of internal storage space at a massive $510 discount with no strings attached whatsoever? You do need to hurry, though, as Amazon only has one color option listed at this hugely reduced price, which means this particular post-Prime Day deal is unlikely to last longer than a few more hours.

$300 off (25%)

There's no shame in owning the smallest and humblest member of the ultra-high-end Galaxy S26 trio, especially when you can get it for $300 less than usual with 512GB internal storage space in a grand total of four colorways. The 6.3-inch powerhouse packs the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor as the S26 Ultra, not to mention 12GB RAM and a decently sized 4,300mAh battery... for its ultra-thin 7.2mm profile.

$250 off (23%)

The Pixel 11 Pro's first hefty discount is still available after the end of Amazon's October Prime Day 2026 extravaganza, and now it can be scored without an obligatory Prime membership. The key selling points of this 6.3-inch handset are probably the 50 + 48 + 48MP triple rear-facing camera system and 4,850mAh battery capacity, although the seven guaranteed major OS updates and the 120Hz refresh rate-capable OLED screen are also pretty amazing.

Who said compact phones are out of fashion? Definitely not Samsung or Google, and many of the two companies' hardcore fans are likely to relish the opportunity to slash $250 off the list price of a Pixel 11 Pro with 256GB internal storage space or save a whopping 300 bucks on a 512 gig configuration of the "vanilla" Galaxy S26.

These are both "small" (by 2026 standards) 6.3-inch Android powerhouses with undeniably great screens, cameras, battery life, and long-term software support. The Galaxy S26 is the thinner, faster, and slightly costlier handset, mind you, while the Pixel 11 Pro packs a bigger battery and overall superior camera hardware.

But before you decide which of those devices better fits your preferences and budget, you might also want to consider probably the best Android phone (with a non-foldable design) right now. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is obviously more expensive than its little brother, but for an undoubtedly limited time only, it's a lot cheaper than usual, especially in a 512GB storage variant and eye-catching Sky Blue color. And no, you don't need a Prime membership to save $410... anymore.

Many of these other smartphone offers also look incredibly hard to beat

$100 off (25%)

The cheapest handset on this latest week-ending list of top bargains from across the web is not very new... or incredibly affordable. But for a pen-wielding phone with an equally durable and stylish design, more than respectable 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate technology, and a large 5,000mAh battery capable of charging at up to 68W speeds, the 5G-enabled Moto G Stylus (2025) is definitely very competitively priced after a $100 discount.

$499 ⁹⁹

$599 ⁹⁹

$100 off (17%)

If you like compact phones but can't afford the Galaxy S26, Pixel 11, or Pixel 11 Pro, the newest US-exclusive member of the mid-range Motorola Edge family comes with a very competent 6.3-inch AMOLED screen, a MediaTek Dimensity 7450 processor, 8GB RAM, 50 + 10 + 50MP triple rear-facing cameras, and a 5,000mAh battery capable of charging at up to 68W rates at a fairly reasonable price point after a hot new (and rare) $100 discount.

Buy at Motorola

$160 off (20%)

The Galaxy S26 Fan Edition is a largely unremarkable high-end (ish) handset made to look like an unexpectedly good deal shortly after its commercial debut by a surprisingly substantial $160 discount in a 256GB storage variant and the recent price hikes of the rest of the S26 family. This is a jumbo-sized 6.7-inch model with a fittingly large 4,900mAh battery under its hood, mind you, and its 45W charging capabilities and 7.4mm profile are pretty attractive as well.

$150 off (17%)

Although it's obviously not as impressive as its Pro-branded brother, the "vanilla" Pixel 11 looks especially charming... for the right type of bargain hunter, Android purist, and hardcore Google fan after the Pixel 10a's recent price hike. At a $150 discount, the 6.3-inch handset actually delivers pretty good value right now between its powerful Google Tensor G6 processor, 12GB RAM count, 256 gigs of internal storage space (in an entry-level configuration), and hefty 4,985mAh battery.

$799 ⁹⁹

$1499 ⁹⁹

$700 off (47%)

The best foldable device you can buy on a (relatively) tight budget in 2026 is somehow still an ultra-high-end clamshell-style model released just last year. Of course, the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor is not very impressive by 2026 flagship standards, but at a $700 discount with 1TB internal storage space and 16GB RAM, the Razr Ultra (2026) simply feels irresistible for flip phone devotees. Oh, and you also STILL get a complimentary pair of Moto Buds 2 with your deeply discounted purchase.

Buy at Motorola

$420 off (30%)

The awkward middle brother of the Galaxy S26 and S26 Ultra is an unexpectedly good deal at a whopping $420 discount in a 512GB storage variant and two different colorways with no Prime membership required, shining in pretty much every department from screen size and screen quality to overall performance, camera hardware, AI capabilities, and long-term software support.

$300 off (23%)

You probably didn't expect the costly Pixel 11 Pro XL giant to score a huge $300 discount just a little over a month after its commercial debut, but here you are, likely wondering if there's any catch to this mind-blowing post-Prime Day deal. The answer is no, and although the 6.8-inch Tensor G6 powerhouse is still not what you'd consider a conventionally affordable Android phone, you're unlikely to be offered a better money-saving opportunity on it anytime soon.

$220 off (16%)

Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and equipped with large and decidedly high-quality 6.9 and 4.1-inch AMOLED screens, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is clearly not the most affordable clamshell-style foldable in the US. But at least it's still available at its top October Prime Day discount (without an obligatory membership or other strings attached), and unlike Motorola's Razrs, it's guaranteed to receive an impressive grand total of seven major OS updates... in due time.

$250 off (13%)

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is one of the very few devices on this list that has had its price substantially increased at the end of Amazon's second big Prime Day event of the year. But a $250 discount for such a wildly popular phone with a brand-new style and state-of-the-art Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor is still not something many of you will be able to easily ignore, especially if you're not a Prime member.

$1699 ⁹⁹

$1899 ⁹⁹

$200 off (11%)

The shockingly expensive first-of-a-kind Razr Fold is... slightly less shocking and significantly more attractive at an unprecedented $200 discount, sporting undeniably impressive 8.1 and 6.6-inch screens with 120Hz and 165Hz refresh rate support, respectively, while packing an unremarkable (by 2026 ultra-high-end standards) Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor.

Buy at Motorola

$250 off (12%)

The book-style Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is probably the all-around best foldable phone you can buy in the US, and at one of its highest discounts to date, its already great mass appeal is undeniably made even greater.

If I were to make a prediction, I'd say at least four or five of these deals will go unbeaten throughout the holiday season, including those killer new Galaxy S26 Plus and Pixel 11 Pro XL discounts and the Razr Ultra (2025) steal that somehow refuses to go away.

As a passionate advocate of budget-friendly mid-rangers, I strongly advise you to take the Moto G Stylus (2025) and Motorola Edge (2026) into consideration at their $100 discounts from already reasonable list prices, while the Galaxy S26 FE is clearly perfect for Android power users who can't afford a superior member of the S26 family. If you're in that position, you should also take a look at the non-Pro Pixel 11, with the best foldable options for buyers who don't need to settle for last year's Razr Ultra including the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Motorola Razr Fold.

In short, this list covers pretty much all the bases and every possible type of smartphone buyer right now, although some deals (like the Pixel 11 Pro XL) are definitely better than others (like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra).

Today's best tablet promotions are essentially just as diverse and compelling

$269 ⁹⁹

$399 ⁹⁹

$130 off (33%)

The most affordable tablet bargain hunters are advised to take into consideration right now amazingly packs no less than nine JBL speakers, thus eclipsing even its costliest $1,000+ rivals in terms of (theoretical) audio performance. The rest of the specs are obviously not quite as impressive, but for the Tab Plus Gen 2's newly reduced price, the 12.1-inch screen, 8GB RAM, and 10,200mAh battery equipped with 45W charging support are also pretty mind-blowing.

$150 off (27%)

One of the most affordable tablets with a built-in S Pen is even cheaper than usual right now in both 128 and 256GB storage configurations and multiple color options, also sporting a respectable 10.9-inch IPS LCD screen with 90Hz refresh rate capabilities and a surprisingly premium metal-and-glass design. The Galaxy Tab S10 Fan Edition doesn't pack a blazing fast processor, but it supports excellent 45W charging speeds and is likely to receive more OS updates than all its mid-range rivals (from other brands).

$340 off (34%)

The 11-inch Galaxy Tab S11 has yet to receive a direct sequel, which is obviously great for its mass appeal, especially at a huge $340 discount with no special requirements. This is a stylus-wielding high-ender with a gorgeous Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen in tow, as well as an impossibly thin 5.5mm profile, a decent (all things considered) 8,400mAh battery, and a respectable MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor.

$799 ⁹⁹

$999 ⁹⁹

$200 off (20%)

Lenovo's most advanced Android tablet to date is way cheaper than the Galaxy Tab S12+, Tab S12 Ultra, and iPad Pros of the world, especially at an irresistible and likely unbeatable new $200 discount. The 13-inch giant comes with pre-loaded Android 17 software, seven guaranteed OS upgrades, Snapdragon 8 Elite processing power, and believe it or not, both a premium keyboard and Lenovo Tab Pen Pro 2 included in its massively reduced price.

$200 off (14%)

Samsung's latest 12.6-inch high-ender is, let's be honest, overpriced and annoyingly repetitive, but a gratis $200 Amazon gift card offered exclusively for Prime members for a limited time might make you a lot more inclined to give the Tab S12+ a chance. After all, if you ignore its many similarities with the Tab S10 Plus, the design and specs are absolutely not bad by any 2026 standards.

$465 off (22%)

Microsoft's latest and greatest Windows-powered tablet with a built-in kickstand is amazingly discounted by no less than 465 bucks just a couple of months after its commercial debut in a top-of-the-line Snapdragon X2 Elite variant with a speedy 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM on deck. This would probably be a perfect modern laptop replacement if it came with a keyboard as standard, but even by itself, it's an undeniable workhorse and excellent for mobile entertainment as well.

At first glance, you might think that six deals can never compete with 11 special offers. But just like that collection of deeply discounted smartphones above, this group of mid-range and high-end tablets available at super-special prices seems large enough to leave no user without an option (or several) perfectly tailored to their needs.

The Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 and Galaxy Tab S10 FE are ideal for the most cash-strapped buyers around, the Galaxy Tab S11 and Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 are both technically impressive and very competitively priced, and last but not least, the just-released Galaxy Tab S12+ (with a free gift card) and the only slightly older Surface Pro (2026) go out to the most demanding tablet users in the US. And yes, I realize iPads are missing, but unless you're a hardcore Apple fan, I believe the best tablets to buy this holiday season are all here.

Can you resist these smartwatch bargains?

$91 off (36%)

The Galaxy Watch 7 is old and obviously nowhere near as powerful as this year's Galaxy Watch 9, but at an incredibly low price in a decidedly eye-catching green colorway only, its health monitoring abilities and Super AMOLED touchscreen seem pretty much unbeatable right now.

$49 off (20%)

The most affordable third-gen Apple Watch SE variant is only marked down by a cool 50 bucks from an already reasonable list price of $249 in a Starlight case color with a Sand sport band, which means you probably don't have a lot of time to pair your new or old iPhone with an impressively feature-packed intelligent timepiece at an unbeatable price.

$200 off (50%)

With built-in cellular connectivity and a large 45mm Matte Black aluminum case, the Pixel Watch 3 is somehow more affordable right now than during Amazon's recently concluded fall Prime Day festivities. The wearable's age is obviously pretty advanced, but the circular AMOLED touchscreen and Google's long-term software support make its appeal undeniable... for a limited time.

$80 off (27%)

The 2025-released Galaxy Watch 8 is slightly better than the older Galaxy Watch 7 but significantly worse than this year's Galaxy Watch 9, and after a sweet new $80 discount in multiple variants and colorways, the Exynos W1000-powered timepiece is ideally priced to reflect just that and remain in the spotlight for a little while longer.

$49 off (12%)

Apple's latest non-rugged smartwatch is impressively still available at its greatest discount to date in multiple color options, two case sizes, and both with and without standalone cellular connectivity. An all-new Health Sensing System guaranteeing the world's most accurate heart rate monitoring is the Series 12's biggest upgrade and selling point, closely followed by a couple of other improved wellness tools.

$150 off (30%)

The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is another previous-gen wearable hardcore Samsung fans need to strongly consider as a possible early holiday purchase this year. Mind you, this particular model hasn't received a direct 2026 sequel, so it's technically the latest edition with a physically rotating bezel in addition to an imposing overall design and a large and decidedly high-quality AMOLED touchscreen.

I know I wouldn't be able to resist a half-off 45mm Pixel Watch 3 with 4G LTE support if I was looking for a new smartwatch for Christmas... unless, of course, I had enough money to get the undeniably prettier and more versatile Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.

iPhone owners, meanwhile, have a very tough choice to make between an ultra-affordable Apple Watch SE 3 and a brand-new Apple Watch Series 12 at a surprisingly hefty (and early) discount, not to mention how hard it's likely to prove for Samsung fans to decide whether to go for the Galaxy Watch 7 oldie but goodie or spend a little extra dough on the newer and of course (slightly) better Galaxy Watch 8.

How about a massively discounted new pair of wireless earbuds?

$79

$129 ⁹⁹

$51 off (39%)

Should you even consider buying non-noise-cancelling wireless earbuds in 2026? If they're powered by an Apple H2 chip, sold by Apple as part of the industry-leading AirPods family, capable of delivering up to 30 hours of battery life (with their bundled charging case factored in), and sold at a killer 51 percent discount with no strings attached, absolutely!

$50 off (33%)

Yes, the Galaxy Buds 3 Fan Edition has been available at an even lower price than this a few times before (including earlier this week for Prime members only). But a $50 discount (with no special requirements) is nothing to sneeze at when dealing with such impressively feature-packed noise-cancelling earbuds either, and if you hurry, you can even choose between black and gray colors at the same heavily marked-down price.

$60 off (24%)

Samsung's most sophisticated wireless earbuds to date are... still pretty expensive after a hot new $60 discount, but their active noise cancellation skills, overall audio performance, all-day comfort, call quality, and AI capabilities are probably good enough to fully justify that reduced price point.

I don't know about you, but I think the AirPods 4 (even without active noise cancellation) could be the perfect stocking stuffer this Christmas. Unless you're shopping for an Android devotee, in which case you probably don't want to miss the latest Galaxy Buds 3 FE money-saving opportunity.

The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, meanwhile, sit in an entirely different class, also looking like a very smart buy... at a significantly higher price.
