Hurry! Samsung Galaxy S25 just dropped $120 for Prime Day — this is the lowest price we've seen yet
If you head to Amazon right now, you can pick up the Navy 128GB Galaxy S25 for 15% off, bringing the phone down to $679.
At the time of writing, this is the best price we've seen for the Galaxy S25, exceeding the prior best price of $699. That makes this a great time to grab one of the best flagship phones on the market.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 features a 6.2-inch AMOLED screen with an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, all powered by a 4,000 mAh battery. However, the real story is the wealth of AI features included with the phone, thanks to One UI 7, including Circle to Search and more.
This deal is for both the Navy and the Silver Shadow options, while the Mint color only has a discount of 13% and the IcyBlue hits a max of 10% off.
For the longest time, I was something of an Apple fanboy, but after using the Galaxy S25, I have to say that my eyes have been opened about the brand. Don't just take my word for it, as our Galaxy S25 review highlights some of the advantages and improvements Samsung introduced with its latest line of phones.
Now, in the interest of fairness, I will admit that there isn't a huge difference in hardware between the Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S24. You're getting the same 6.2-inch AMOLED screen with the same trio of cameras, including a 50MP main lens, 12MP Ultrawide and a 10MP 3x telephoto lens. However, the Samsung Galaxy S25 features the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite, which provides a notable performance boost.
Not only does the chip help to get the most out of the 4,000 mAh battery, but it also powers the host of Galaxy AI features that were introduced as part of One UI 7. If you're a fan of features like Circle to Search, Now Brief, Audio Eraser and more, then the Galaxy S25 is one of the best, most affordable options available.This is the lowest price we've seen Amazon sell this Galaxy S25 for and while 128GB isn't the most memory, it's more than enough for the average user.

It wasn't just Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) riding high this week. Walmart (NYSE:WMT), Target (NYSE:TGT), Best Buy(NYSE:BBY) and Kohl's (NYSE:KSS) all chimed in with their own promotions. Appliance sales soaredrunning 135 percent above June's daily normwhile electronics jumped almost 95 percent. Home improvement, garden gear, furniture, apparel and toys also saw strong gains. What really stands out is how people shopped. More than half of the spending happened on mobile devices, accounting for roughly four billion dollars. Even more intriguing is that shoppers leaned into premium itemstop-tier goods captured a 20 percent larger share overall and a whopping 55 percent bump in electronics. With numbers like these, Adobe now expects total online spending from July 8 through 11 to hit around 23.8 billion dollars. That would be nearly a 30 percent jump from last year.

15 Best Prime Day Phone Deals (2025): Samsung, OnePlus, and Pixel
Now's a great time to buy a new smartphone. Amazon's Prime Day phone deals are surprisingly great, with more than 30% off some of our top mobile recommendations, from Samsung's latest ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge to the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. All of these phones are unlocked, meaning you can use them with any carrier in the US. If you're looking for iPhone deals specifically, we have a note about them further below. Samsung's latest folding phone got a $100 price increase. Rumors suggest Google's upcoming Pixel 10 Pro XL will see a similar jump, and we're hearing the same about Apple's iPhone 17 series this September. Whether or not all these pricing updates are related to tariffs is unclear, but the volatile trade war has brought uncertainty. That's why it's smart to buy now. That said, don't purchase a new phone if your current model is working fine. But if you've been holding out on an upgrade, you can save hundreds by shopping these deals. Catch all the top deals in our Absolute Best Prime Day Deals roundup, and follow our Prime Day liveblog for the latest. Best Phone Deals Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Google Pixel 9 $799 $549 (31% off) Amazon $799 $549 (31% off) Best Buy $799 $599 (25% off) Google Store The Pixel 9 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) sits in an awkward spot—not as great value as the Pixel 9a, and not as flagship as the Pixel 9 Pro. Still pricey. This discount makes it a no-brainer. Sure, it doesn't have the improved cooling system or telephoto cameras of the Pro models, but performance is excellent, is can charge faster than the Pixel 9a while also taking advantage of a few extra software perks thanks to the 12 GB of RAM. That includes Call Notes (an automatic summary of your phone call), and support for the Pixel Screenshots app. The camera system is excellent, and the build quality feels like a step up over its cheaper sibling, too. Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Samsung Galaxy S24 FE $650 $470 (28% off) Amazon $650 Samsung $650 Best Buy Samsung's 'FE' phones stand for Fan Edition, and it signifies a slightly more accessible price with features and specs similar to its flagships. The Galaxy S24 FE arrived late in 2024 and is the pared-down version of the flagship Galaxy S24 series. You still get a great triple-camera system with a 3x telephoto camera, solid battery life, and good performance, not to mention a large 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120-Hz refresh rate. It'll also get 7 years of software updates, has wireless charging, and is IP68 water resistant. The MSRP of $650 was always too close to the price of the flagships to make much sense, but at $470, the S24 FE is a steal. Photograph: Julian Chokkattu OnePlus 13 $900 $779 (13% off) Amazon $900 $830 (8% off) OnePlus $1,000 $850 (15% off) Best Buy (512 GB) OnePlus has always been an underdog in the US, but you should seriously consider the OnePlus 13 (8/10, WIRED Recommends). Performance is excellent, the screen is sharp and bright, and while OnePlus doesn't offer the same length of software updates as Google and Samsung, it's slightly longer here than previous models. What makes it stand out is the battery and charging story—there's a 6,000-mAh battery cell, which is among the highest you'll find in a phone, despite the slim frame. That's because it's a silicon-carbon battery, a relatively new technology that allows for denser batteries without making a phone thicker. With average use, it can last close to two full days. And when you need a top-up, OnePlus' included charger can take the phone from zero to 100 percent in 36 minutes. Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Motorola Moto G Stylus 2025 $400 $360 (10% off) Amazon $400 Best Buy $400 Motorola I was hoping to see a better deal on Motorola's Moto G Stylus, but this is still a great price on one of my favorite budget phones. Performance is shockingly smooth, and the Surf the Web blue paired with the vegan leather texture is deliciously bold. Like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, there's a built-in stylus you can pull out for jotting notes or signing documents, except you don't need to shell out a $1,000 here. The cameras are solid, and there's all the extras you could want, like wireless charging, NFC for tap-to-pay, 256 GB of storage and a microSD card slot, and yes, even a headphone jack. Photograph: Julian Chokkattu CMF Phone 1 $229 $195 (15% off) Amazon $239 Nothing CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing, and the Phone 1 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) was my favorite budget smartphone of 2024. Great performance, solid cameras, two-day battery life, and a bright AMOLED screen for $239? It was unheard of (and frankly, still is). It even has better software support than any other phone at this price. The discount is small, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a sub-$200 phone this great. Just make sure you check network support as it may not play as nicely on Verizon. It's a shame the newer CMF Phone 2 Pro isn't on sale. What About iPhone Deals? Photograph: Julian Chokkattu The sad reality is Apple doesn't discount iPhones. Your only options are to hunt for unlocked iPhones on Amazon, which are all either used or 'Renewed." I recommend buying only the iPhone 13 and newer, as it'll keep getting updates for a good amount of time. You can also take a look at your carrier store to see if there are any notable trade-in deals or promotions, but we always recommend buying unlocked. Here are a few renewed iPhones discounted for Prime Day.

I've Tested Hundreds of Phones—These Are My Prime Day Picks

That includes Call Notes (an automatic summary of your phone call), and support for the Pixel Screenshots app. The camera system is excellent, and the build quality feels like a step up over its cheaper sibling, too. If you've got the extra cash, you may want to go all-out with Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra (7/10, WIRED Recommends). It has a built-in stylus in the bottom of the phone that's great for signing documents or secretly doodling in super-important meetings. and it's one of the only phones with two telephoto zoom cameras, offering optical quality at both 3x and 5x. That's extremely handy whether you're taking photos of birds in your local park or want to capture your kid on the soccer pitch. If you buy it, don't forget to snag a case! This Samsung phone isn't even two months old yet, and it's already seeing a bonkers discount. The Galaxy S25 Edge (6/10, WIRED Review) is super thin, that's its big feature, and it's seriously impressive when you get your hands on it. Specs and features-wise, it sits between the S25+ and the S25 Ultra, missing out on the stylus and telephoto cameras, but sporting features like the ability to capture 4K video footage at 120 frames per second. The downside to such an amazingly thin phone is—surprise, surprise—battery life. It'll get you through most of a day, but power users may find themselves needing to carry power bank. Samsung's 'FE' phones stand for Fan Edition, and it signifies a slightly more accessible price with features and specs similar to its flagships. The Galaxy S24 FE arrived late in 2024 and is the pared-down version of the flagship Galaxy S24 series.

And when you need a top-up, OnePlus' included charger can take the phone from zero to 100 percent in 36 minutes. The OnePlus 13R (8/10, WIRED Recommends) omits some features from the flagship and has a lower price, but I didn't think it was worth its $600 MSRP. At $500, it's worth considering. I prefer the flat edges of the display as opposed to the OnePlus 13's curvy screen, and performance is similarly strong. It also has a 6,000-mAh battery in tow and can last close to two days, though a full recharge will take just under an hour. Too bad it doesn't support wireless charging, and the camera system is not as great. I was hoping to see a better deal on Motorola's Moto G Stylus, but this is still a great price on one of my favorite budget phones. Performance is shockingly smooth, and the Surf the Web blue paired with the vegan leather texture is deliciously bold.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Photograph: Julian Chokkattu $250 $200 (20% off) Amazon If you want to spend absolutely as little as possible on an Android smartphone, I think you'll be quite happy spending a mere $200 on TCL's 60 XE Nxtpaper 5G (7/10, WIRED Recommends). It has a matte screen unlike any other phone, meaning it's not reflective, and there's a physical switch to change the display mode to an e-paper like experience. By switching from color to monochrome, it's easier on the eyes (like a Kindle!), and it's a must-have for any ebook lovers who seriously considered buying a Boox Palma last year. Google's Pixel 10 series is right around the corner, which means it's smart to buy last year's flagships at a heavy discount. That's especially true for folding phones, which are always so expensive at MSRP. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is my favorite folding phone, though Samsung's latest Galaxy Z Fold7 could give it a run for its money. The external screen feels like you're using a normal phone, yet if you open it up, you get a massive 8-inch screen to work with. The phone is thin and lightweight, too. Samsung just unveiled its latest Galaxy Z Fold7, which now starts at a whopping $2,000 and goes on sale July 25. You can preorder it now, or you can buy last year's Galaxy Z Fold6. It might not be as slim and lightweight as the latest, but hey, it's not $2,000. This is one of the lower prices I've tracked on this book-like folding phone. The Galaxy Z Flip6 also now has a successor—the Galaxy Z Flip7—which arrives on July 25 for $1,100. But this is one of the lowest prices I've seen on Samsung's flip phone, which is perfect for anyone who hates big phones. Just fold it up and it will fit in any pocket or purse. The front cover screen isn't as big or useful as Motorola's Razr 2025, but Samsung offers a longer software update policy and has better cameras. If you're debating between this and the new Galaxy Z Flip7 FE ($900), they're essentially the same phone, except performance might be slightly better on the Flip6, though it doesn't support Qi2-Ready wireless charging. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing, and the Phone 1 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) was my favorite budget smartphone of 2024. Great performance, solid cameras, two-day battery life, and a bright AMOLED screen for $239? It was unheard of (and frankly, still is). It even has better software support than any other phone at this price. The discount is small, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a sub-$200 phone this great. Just make sure you check network support as it may not play as nicely on Verizon. It's a shame the newer CMF Phone 2 Pro isn't on sale. What About iPhone Deals?
