Every morning I scour the web for the best phone deals around because, frankly, I’m unlikely to ever buy a flagship phone unless there’s an irresistible deal attached to it. With Prime Day in its second and final day, you can still excellent deals on all sorts of phones that cover the gamut.
The best Prime Day cheap phone deals cover all the names you’re likely to go after, like Samsung, Google, and Apple. However, there are still plenty of other phone brands that have generous deals that you might find impossible to ignore due to their savings.
I’ve reviewed all of the best phones that have come out in the last year, so you know these selections are worth going after because of their big discounts for Prime Day. And if that’s not enough, most of them are unlocked models, meaning you don’t have to worry about roadblocks on getting them to work with your wireless carrier.

Best Prime Day phone deals
iPhone 15 Pro Max: was $1,599 now $0.01 @ Amazon
The most expensive iPhone is usually the biggest one in the series with the most storage. Right now, however, you can snag the 1TB storage version of the iPhone 15 Pro Max for just a penny. The phone's locked to Boost Infinite's service, but it's still worth trying out the MVNO for the savings.
Motorola Moto G 5G 2023: was $249 now $139 @ Amazon
Already a cheap phone to begin with, the Moto G 5G 2023 gets even cheaper for Prime Day. Even though it's an entry-level model, it still packs a sizable 6.5-inch display with a speedy 120Hz refresh date, dual cameras and a large 5,000 mAh battery.
Google Pixel 8 Pro: was $999 now $746 @ Amazon
It's no mystery why the price has dropped on Google's flagship phone — Google will release the Pixel 9 Pro a month from now. But at a $250 discount, the Pixel 8 Pro is worth getting now, especially if you don't need whatever new AI features the Pixel 9 Pro is likely to support. You get an excellent camera phone with a telephoto lens and some impressive AI features in its own right.
Samsung Galaxy S24: was $799 now $549 @ Amazon
When it comes to showing off the incredible power of AI, the Galaxy S24 hits it out of the park with the ability to turn any video clips into slow motion, acting as an interpreter for phone calls and using generative AI for text message responses.
Motorola Razr 2023: was $699 now $315 @ Amazon
You no longer need to spend an arm and leg for a foldable phone because the Motorola Razr 2023 cost just as much as some of the best cheap phones around for Prime Day. With its versatile flip-phone style design, it'll make you feel like you're using the old-school Razr again.
Google Pixel 8: was $759 now $559 @ Amazon
The Pixel 8 was the phone that really ushered us into the age of AI with its rich set of tools consisting of Magic Editor to manipulate your photos, Call Screen that uses Google Assistant to take phone calls for you, and its summarizing ability to condense long emails and web pages.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: was $999 now $559 @ Amazon
PRICE DROP! Last year's Galaxy Z Flip 5 is still a top contender for one of the best foldable phones around, partly due to how it gained a larger Cover Display. Paired with its dual cameras, taking photos and vlogs has never been easier because you can see yourself while using the better rear cameras. And the discount has dropped to a full $440 since Prime Day began.
Blackview BL9000 Pro: was $799 now $649 @ Amazon
One of the most feature rich phones, the Blackview BL9000 Pro is the ultimate rugged phone thanks to its tough design, built-in FLIR thermal camera, 120W wired charging, and a large 6.78-inch display. It even comes with a pair of wireless headphones, but make sure to clip the $160 coupon for the savings.
OnePlus Open: was $1,699 now $1,299 @ Amazon
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and its price hike may be getting all the attention these days, but don't overlook the OnePlus Open, which we thought was a better foldable than anything Samsung produced last year. We particularly like the OnePlus Open's approach to multitasking, and it's got an easy-to-use cover display. You can save $400 on Prime Day.
Samsung Galaxy A35: was $399 now $299 @ Amazon
We haven't completed our review of Samsung's midrange phone yet, but we did go hands-on with the Galaxy A35 and found it to be a formidable competitor with Google's midrange phones. The display on the A35 looks brilliant and there are lots of camera options. Plus, with this current discount, it's $200 cheaper than the Pixel 8a.
