Some of them are terrific, but their sky-high price tags make them hard to justify\u2014unless there&#8217;s a big sale, like there is now. We&#8217;ve scoured all the new deals available from Amazon, and we&#8217;ve found some stellar discounts on the best phones that we can&#8217;t wait to share with you. But you&#8217;ll want to be decisive: Amazon&#8217;s fall Prime Day ends tonight, and these deals are likely expiring in a few hours.<\/p>\n<p>Below, I&#8217;ll focus on two of my favorites, the Google Pixel 9a and the Samsung Galaxy Edge S25. Either of these phones will give you plenty of power, excellent cameras, and the latest AI features at a much lower price than usual. But after this, be sure to check out our reviews and our full coverage of the very best sales from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/news\/best-early-tech-electronics-deals-amazon-prime-day-oct-2025\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Prime Big Deal Days 2025<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n<p>Spectacular AI and Cameras for Much Less<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/reviews\/google-pixel-9a\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Google Pixel 9a<\/a> packs Google\u2019s best software and hardware into a lower-cost phone. Its cameras capture beautiful images, and AI tools like Magic Eraser and Reimagine perform complex edits quickly. The screen is bright and easy to see outdoors, making it easy to compose shots, and Auto Frame keeps your subjects centered. Moreover, Google backs the Pixel 9a with seven years of OS updates, Pixel Drops, and security fixes. The Pixel 9a typically starts at $499, but Amazon has slashed the 128GB model to $349 (about 30% off) and the 256GB model to $449 (about 25% off).<\/p>\n<p>                                            <a class=\"group relative block w-full overflow-hidden border-none no-underline\" data-module=\"shop-card\" data-item=\"offer-image\" data-element=\"offer\" data-label=\"Google Pixel 9a\" href=\"https:\/\/zdcs.link\/zJrykm\" title=\"(Opens in a new tab)\" aria-label=\"Google Pixel 9a\" x-track-ga-click=\"\" x-bind-one-true-click=\"\" data-parent-group=\"affiliate-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" class=\"!my-0 w-full aspect-video object-contain rounded\" data-image-loader=\"https:\/\/i.pcmag.com\/imagery\/articles\/06iV7ly1OqEUBwYCnY9aB8f-5.jpg\" data-lazy-sized=\"\" alt=\"Google Pixel 9a\" data-image-path=\"articles\/06iV7ly1OqEUBwYCnY9aB8f-5.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n                        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                            Google Pixel 9a<\/p>\n<p>Flagship-level performance, terrific camera quality, and Google&#8217;s magical AI.<\/p>\n<p>\n                                    $349.00<br \/>\n                                                                            at Amazon\n                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<p>\n                                                                            $499.00<br \/>\n                                                                                                                Save $150.00\n                                                                    <\/p>\n<p>                                                    <a class=\"group mr-[3px] leading-normal\" data-module=\"shop-card\" data-item=\"offer-button\" data-element=\"offer\" data-label=\"Get Deal\" href=\"https:\/\/zdcs.link\/zJrykm\" title=\"(Opens in a new tab)\" aria-label=\"Get Deal\" x-track-ga-click=\"\" x-bind-one-true-click=\"\" data-parent-group=\"affiliate-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n                                Get Deal<br \/>\n                            <\/a><\/p>\n<p>A Thin Phone With a Thick Discount<\/p>\n<p>At just 0.23 inches thick, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/reviews\/samsung-galaxy-s25-edge\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge<\/a> is the slimmest Galaxy S phone yet. Just because it&#8217;s thin doesn&#8217;t mean it skimps on features. Samsung loads the phone with Galaxy AI, productivity tools like DeX, and a top-tier camera system. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite powers the Edge, putting it among the fastest Android phones we&#8217;ve tested this year. On-device Galaxy AI stands out with Audio Eraser, which separates voices, background noise, and music in your recorded videos in real time. The 6.7-inch OLED display is bright, crisp, and fluid, so media and games look excellent in any setting.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing starts at $1,099.99 for the 256GB model and $1,219.99 for the 512GB model. Right now, Amazon lists the 256GB model for $649.99, representing a 41% discount, and the 512GB model for $769.99, or 37% off. In my opinion, the low price of the 256GB model makes it a steal. Samsung also backs the phone with seven years of OS and security updates, which makes the Edge a sensible long-term buy if you want a slim phone that still delivers flagship performance.<\/p>\n<p>        Recommended by Our Editors<\/p>\n<p>                                            <a class=\"group relative block w-full overflow-hidden border-none no-underline\" data-module=\"shop-card\" data-item=\"offer-image\" data-element=\"offer\" data-label=\"Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge\" href=\"https:\/\/zdcs.link\/9YM1qj\" title=\"(Opens in a new tab)\" aria-label=\"Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge\" x-track-ga-click=\"\" x-bind-one-true-click=\"\" data-parent-group=\"affiliate-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" class=\"!my-0 w-full aspect-video object-contain rounded\" data-image-loader=\"https:\/\/i.pcmag.com\/imagery\/articles\/06iV7ly1OqEUBwYCnY9aB8f-6.png\" data-lazy-sized=\"\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge\" data-image-path=\"articles\/06iV7ly1OqEUBwYCnY9aB8f-6.png\"\/><br \/>\n                        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                            Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge<\/p>\n<p>All the power of a Galaxy phone in a thin, portable package.<\/p>\n<p>\n                                    $824.95<br \/>\n                                                                            at Amazon\n                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<p>\n                                                                            $1,099.99<br \/>\n                                                                                                                Save $275.04\n                                                                    <\/p>\n<p>                                                    <a class=\"group mr-[3px] leading-normal\" data-module=\"shop-card\" data-item=\"offer-button\" data-element=\"offer\" data-label=\"Get Deal\" href=\"https:\/\/zdcs.link\/9YM1qj\" title=\"(Opens in a new tab)\" aria-label=\"Get Deal\" x-track-ga-click=\"\" x-bind-one-true-click=\"\" data-parent-group=\"affiliate-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n                                Get Deal<br \/>\n                            <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Each phone here becomes a much better value at its deal price, and it&#8217;s rare to see such deep discounts like this.<\/p>\n<p>                    Even More Deals on Smartphones <\/p>\n<p>        *Deals are selected by our commerce team<\/p>\n<p>For more deals and discounts, check out our hub for all things <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/events\/amazon-prime-day\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Prime Big Deal Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"opacity-20 absolute right-0 top-0 z-0 hidden md:block\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/images\/newsletter-envelope.svg\" alt=\"Newsletter Icon\" style=\"max-width:220px; max-height:140px; pointer-events:none;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"opacity-20 h-full w-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/images\/newsletter-envelope.svg\" alt=\"Newsletter Icon\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n            Get Exclusive Savings!\n        <\/p>\n<p>                                    Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Returns October 7-8<\/p>\n<p>                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"h-auto w-full rounded-md object-cover md:rounded-l-md\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/17709107-contextual.fit_lpad.size_250x140.v1750711858.png\" alt=\"Tech Deals newsletter Image\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Sign up now for the Tech Deals newsletter to unlock our top editor-curated deals for Amazon&#8217;s huge shopping event.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up now for the Tech Deals newsletter to unlock our top editor-curated deals for Amazon&#8217;s huge shopping event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"roboto-flex mt-2 text-xs font-normal leading-tight text-black md:whitespace-nowrap\">\n                        By clicking Sign Me Up, you confirm you are 16+ and agree to our <a class=\"underline\" href=\"https:\/\/uk.pcmag.com\/terms\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Terms of Use<\/a> and <a class=\"underline\" href=\"https:\/\/uk.pcmag.com\/privacy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.\n                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"text-green-500 mt-2 text-xl font-bold\">Thanks for signing up!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-2\">Your subscription has been confirmed.

That means I check out phones, hotspots, and mobile networks. Technology has been my passion and hobby since I was a child. I\u2019ve covered tech professionally for over 15 years at outlets including The Apple Blog, This Week in Tech, and CNET.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve written and presented information about hundreds of phones, tablets, smart home devices, fitness gadgets, technology business dealings, congressional hearings, and a whole lot more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy putting advancements in technology in simple-to-understand language with context that explains why it matters or not.<\/p>\n<p>My daily driver phone of several years is the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G. I wound up with a Note after I found myself writing ideas on bar napkins while my old phone (a Pixel) sat unused. I looked at it and wondered, \u201cWhy can\u2019t I write ON my phone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My choice of computer varies with whatever task I\u2019m doing. If I\u2019m editing video, I\u2019m using my M1 Mac mini. If I\u2019m just casually browsing or writing, any machine with a quality keyboard works for me. I\u2019ve been known to write things using my Note 20 or an iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I also enjoy having smart home products in my apartment. I\u2019ve been in both the Amazon and Google ecosystems, but mostly use Google Home devices at this point. I\u2019ve spent a lot of time making sure that this smart apartment easily works for my family. That way, I can sneak more and more tech toys into my home without arousing the suspicion of my spouse.<\/p>\n<p>                                        <a class=\"w-fit self-end text-base font-bold uppercase leading-none underline\" data-module=\"author-bio\" data-element=\"read-full-bio\" data-item=\"text_link\" data-position=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/uk.pcmag.com\/authors\/iyaz-akhtar\" aria-label=\"Iyaz Akhtar &#039;s Full Author Bio\" x-track-ga-click=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                        Read Full Bio<br \/>\n                    <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As a PCMag reviewer, I test dozens of phones every year.
