8 of the best smartphone deals for Amazon Prime Day 2025
Here are all the phone deals offering discounts of up to 30% for those who prefer not to wait for the next big launch.
Amazon Prime Day 2025 is live from July 8–11, and phone deals are already coming in hot. But with Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event happening this week (July 9) and Apple’s iPhone 17 launch expected this September, some buyers are stuck asking: should I buy now or wait it out?
Here’s the good news—retailers are already slashing prices on current-gen phones to clear shelf space ahead of those launches. That means this week might be your best shot at picking up a solid device, often at its lowest price yet, before the new models make everything more expensive again.
We’ve gone through dozens of early Prime Day phone deals and picked 10 that are actually worth your time, not just because they’re cheaper, but because they still hold up in real-world use.

/1. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (2025)
If you’ve been holding off on upgrading to Samsung’s best phone, this might finally be the moment. The S25 Ultra packs a class-leading camera system, a bright, high-refresh display, and Samsung’s full suite of Galaxy AI features baked into One UI 7.
It’s built for power users, whether that’s editing videos, gaming hard, or juggling apps like a laptop replacement. Right now, it’s going for $949.99 instead of $1,299.99, a 27% drop, which is the first major cut we’ve seen on this model and likely a preemptive move ahead of Galaxy Unpacked. – Kelechi
/2. Google Pixel 9 (2024)
Pixel phones have always nailed the basics, but the Pixel 9 adds serious intelligence under the hood. You’re getting Gemini Nano on-device, Google’s clean Android interface, and smart photo tools like Magic Editor, all in a phone that just works.
The cameras still deliver some of the best stills in the game, and the 6.3-inch display strikes a good balance between size and comfort. It’s currently available for $549, down from $799 — a 31% discount and its lowest price to date, with no carrier strings attached. – Kelechi
/3. OnePlus 13R (2025)
If you want a phone that feels fast and fluid without spending close to a thousand dollars, the 13R delivers. It runs on last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, offers a big 6.78-inch AMOLED display, and comes with OxygenOS, one of the cleanest and most responsive versions of Android out there.
It skips a few premium perks like wireless charging, but performance-wise, it doesn’t miss a beat. It’s now $499.99, down from $599.99—a modest 17% cut, but still one of the better midrange deals if you care more about speed than extras. – Kelechi
/4. Motorola Razr (2024)
The latest Razr brings a bigger 3.6-inch outer screen, a refined vegan leather finish, and a 50MP camera that handles hands-free selfies and low-light shots surprisingly well.
It runs Android 14, supports wireless charging, and folds down small enough to fit in your palm. Normally $699.99, it’s now $549.99 — a 21% discount that makes it one of the most affordable foldables available unlocked in the U.S. – Kelechi
/5. Motorola Edge (2024)
This 2024 release strikes a great balance between performance and value. You get a vibrant 6.6-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, a clean Android 14 experience, and solid midrange power thanks to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip.
It also packs a generous 5,000mAh battery and fast charging. It’s not a gaming powerhouse, but for daily use, it's hard to beat at this price. The model is currently on sale for $299.99, down from $549.99—a 45% discount, making it one of the best values in its class. – Oluwaseun
/6. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (2024)
Samsung’s latest clamshell foldable improves on its predecessor. It now includes a more durable hinge, better water resistance, an upgraded outer display for real use (messaging, calls, selfies), and improved camera hardware.
It’s also powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip and integrates Galaxy AI features for live translation, transcription, and intelligent photo suggestions. Right now, it’s available for $799.99, marked down from $1,099.99, saving you 27%. – Oluwaseun
/7. CMF Phone 1 (2024)
From the creators of the Nothing Phone, CMF’s debut device is one of the boldest entries in the budget phone market. It sports a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a surprisingly fluid user interface, and unique back covers you can swap or personalise.
The Dimensity 7300 processor handles casual gaming and multitasking smoothly, and the 5,000mAh battery provides all-day life. It's currently selling for just $207.20, down from $289, a savings of 28%, and one of the best sub-$250 options out there. – Oluwaseun
/8. RedMagic 10S Pro (2024)
This 2024 flagship is built like a high-end gaming rig in your pocket. It features an enormous 6.8-inch 165Hz AMOLED display with ultra-low latency, an active cooling fan for sustained performance, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip.
With a staggering 24GB of RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, it doesn’t just match many laptops—it outpaces them. You also get a 5,000 mAh battery with 80W fast charging, shoulder triggers for gaming, and RGB lighting.
This powerhouse is currently priced at $1,036.15, reduced from $1,219, giving you 15% off one of the most overbuilt phones ever sold to consumers. – Oluwaseun
