Prime Day phone deals give you the opportunity to grab a great handset at a fraction of its usual cost. But even with a wide range of phones on sale, you're running out of time to take advantage of Prime Day price cuts on everything from flagships to budget devices.
We're seeing discounts on phones from Samsung, Google, and others even as the window on Prime Day savings is about to slam shut. We encourage you to bookmark our Prime Day deals guide for the latest offers coming out of Amazon before Prime Day ends at midnight PT. You can also check out our looks at the best iPhone 11 deals and best Galaxy S20 deals for the lowest prices on the leading flagships from Apple and Samsung.

Prime Day phone deals — what to look for
Prime Day phone deals can vary widely from device to device. Typical savings range from $50 to $100 off the leading models, but now that Prime Day 2020 is in full swing, we're seeing even more substantial savings, particularly on devices that came out earlier in the year.
For last year's Prime Day, we saw Samsung take as much as $300 off its latest flagship phones, while Motorola was very active in cutting prices on its various handsets. With more Motorola phones than ever before this year, we'd expect that phone maker to be active on Prime Day.
Because Prime Day is happening in October this year, some phones that have been discounted in the past may not be in line for Prime Day savings. Last year, Google dropped the price on its Pixel phones, but with the Pixel 5 releasing this week, we wouldn't expect too much of a discount on that $699 phone.
Prime Day phone deals — iPhone
Given the interest in Apple's phones, you'd expect a big clamor for iPhone deals on Prime Day. The challenge this year is that Apple hosted its iPhone 12 launch event the same day Prime Day 2020 got underway. You won't find any iPhone 12 bargains at Amazon, but some carriers have begun to float iPhone 12 pre-order deals and Amazon is offering Prime Day iPhone 12 case deals.
You can find discounts on older iPhones, though not necessarily at Amazon, where the biggest discounts are on renewed versions of the iPhone 11. We're keeping track of the best Prime Day iPhone 11 deals, but right now the biggest savings at Apple, which has cut the price of a new iPhone 11 by $100 to $599. The iPhone XR is still around, too, for a reduced cost of $499.
