All the best Prime Day phone deals

Google Pixel 10a
Google Pixel 10a: was $499 now $399 at Amazon

The Pixel 10a may not have had the most impressive upgrade, but it's still the best cheap phone — with all the features that make a Pixel worth buying. Cameras, AI, bright screens, the works. It's now down to a new all-time low for Prime Day, with 20% off the usual price if you buy the black model.

Nothing Phone 4a Pro
Nothing Phone 4a Pro: was $499 now $419 at Best Buy

One of the best cheap phones is already on sale, saving you $80 off the usual price. It may not be as big a discount as some of the other phones in this list, but it's not bad considering this phone is only a few months old. The Nothing Phone 4a Pro adds some premium feeling to your lower-cost phone, with powerful cameras, a solid display, unique AI features and a customizable LED Glyph display — which isn't something you'll find on other phones.

Apple iPhone 16e
Apple iPhone 16e: was $599 now $489 at Best Buy

The iPhone 17e may have stolen its thunder, but there's still a lot to like about the iPhone 16e. In fact the phones are much the same, and last year's e-series iPhone still offers great camera capabilities, a nice screen, good battery life and access to (almost) everything Apple Intelligence has to offer — including Siri AI.

You just have to be willing to sacrifice a few features, like MagSafe and the extra performance from the A19 chipset. But for the most part, the similarities between the two phones are not so great that you should feel like you're missing out on a lot. Especially with this discount.

Samsung  Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: was $899 now $499 at Amazon

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE isn't a particularly impressive foldable when you look at the original $899 price tag, but with almost $300 off the price tag it suddenly becomes a phone worth checking out. That's especially true if you'd rather have a Galaxy foldable, instead of a Razr. It has the look of an older Z Flip, but it offers a lot of the same things as the Z Flip 7 — including software support and camera quality. Performance isn't the best, though, and we would have liked to see a better battery. But for this price, anyone looking for a Galaxy foldable experience shouldn't miss out.

Google Pixel 10
Google Pixel 10: was $799 now $534 at Amazon

Another Pixel 10 model on sale, back down to its lowest ever price of $548. The Pixel 10 got some major upgrades last year, packing in an extra camera lens, a brighter display, Qi2 charging and the usual slew of AI features from Google.

Motorola Razr 2025
Motorola Razr 2025: was $699 now $529 at Amazon

The price drop on the Motorola Razr 2025 isn't nearly as steep as the Z Flip 7 FE, but that's because it wasn't so expensive in the first place. The Razr comes with a more modern design, including a larger cover display and longer battery life — not to mention higher refresh rates on the display. It may not have the same AI prowess that Samsung Galaxy phones have, but there's still a few useful features thrown in as well.

Motorola  Razr Ultra 2025
Motorola Razr Ultra 2025: was $1,299 now $699 at Best Buy

Alternatively, for $100 more than the Razr 2025, you can pick up the Razr Ultra 2025 and get a general boost to every aspect of the phone. This means you get a brighter display higher refresh rates, more RAM, a more powerful processor and a larger battery — not to mention 512GB of storage as standard.

The fact that this is last year's model means that you're getting a very good discount. But that age, and the generosity of the discount means it's going to run out at some point. So grab this while you can.

OnePlus 13
OnePlus 13: was $999 now $799 at Best Buy

OnePlus has always offered great phones, but the past few years have seen things rise to a whole new level.

It may be roughly 18 months old, but it's still a fantastic phone to pick up — especially with $200 off the usual price.

Apple iPhone Air
Apple iPhone Air: was $999 now $839 at Best Buy

It's rare to see big discounts on recent iPhones, but Best Buy has knocked down the price of the iPhone Air by $160. Apple's thinnest and lightest only comes with a single camera, but it also offers increased durability to account for the potential pitfalls of that design. The Air comes with the same performance as the iPhone 17, as well as the increased RAM that lets it access all of the newest Siri AI features. Not to mention the large, bright display.

If you want an iPhone experience that is lighter and easier to carry around than an iPhone 17-series phone, this might be for you. Especially with the new lower price.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold: was $1,799 now $1,399 at Amazon

Foldable phones are expensive, but sales events like Prime Day can lower the cost of purchase by a significant amount. Just like it's done for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which is now $400 off the normal price — and sitting at an all-time low

This comes with all the same features as a Pixel 10 Pro, paired with a larger foldable screen for all those times an ordinary-sized screen won't cut it.
