Shortly after Amazon kicked off its highly anticipated Prime Day 2026 event, bringing virtually all the best phones, tablets, smartwatches, and headphones money can buy right now to new record low prices for members only, Samsung unsurprisingly retaliated with its own huge summer sale meant to capture the spotlight and generate even more attention for the company's massively popular Galaxy.

Obviously, you can only find Samsung-made devices at unusually high discounts on the tech giant's official US website, and while most of these deals are nothing but carbon copies of Amazon's Prime Day promotions on the same products, I did manage to identify two unique offers.

$449 ⁹⁹

$549 ⁹⁹

$100 off (18%)

Equipped with a gorgeous 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ display, respectable Exynos 1680 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging technology, the Galaxy A57 5G is undoubtedly one of the best mid-range phones you can buy right now, especially at an unprecedented $100 discount with no device trade-in required or any other strings attached.

As you can imagine, the mid-range Galaxy A57 5G handset is nowhere near as steeply discounted as the high-end Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, but at $100 under its $549.99 list price, its value for your money is pretty hard to beat. Naturally, you're looking at a slightly better phone than the Galaxy A37 5G here, and Samsung's new deal with no trade-in needed or any other special requirements eclipses the only previous discount the A57 scored at its device manufacturer or major retailers like Amazon.

Oddly enough, Amazon isn't running a Prime Day sale on the 5G-enabled Galaxy A57 (at least not yet), which is made that much weirder by the A37's hefty $120 Prime-exclusive markdown.

Samsung's Summer Sale, meanwhile, applies to both the handset's entry-level 128GB storage configuration and a 256 gig variant that normally costs $609.99. At $449.99 and up, it's difficult not to get excited about the beautiful 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ screen with 120Hz refresh rate technology, razor-thin 6.9mm profile, 50 + 12 + 5MP triple rear-facing camera system, 5,000mAh battery capable of charging at blazing fast rates of up to 45W, and perhaps most impressively, the six OS upgrades Samsung guarantees the Galaxy A57 5G will receive after debuting on Android 16.

If you're an Amazon Prime member, of course, you might want to also consider Google's Pixel 10a or the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro before opting for the Samsung Galaxy A57 at its highest discount yet. If you ask me, the choice is clear, especially if you're strapped for cash and don't like the Pixel 10a's compact body. But ultimately, you'll all have to decide for yourselves based on your individual set of needs and preferences.
