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
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.

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 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. 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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

5 companies that could hit a $4 trillion market cap after Nvidia
Yesterday, Nvidia Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) became the first company to surpass a $4 trillion market capitalization. The AI chip giant did so on the strength of its position in the artificial intelligence race that has been sweeping the globe. Nvidia makes the graphics cards and other computing infrastructure that power AI platforms. A company's market capitalization, or 'market cap,' is determined by adding up the total value of all the shares in that company. As of yesterday, when you added up Nvidia's total shares, you got a value of more than $4 trillion. But Nvidia isn't the only company that will likely cross this $4 trillion milestone. Here are other companies that are close—or relatively close—to the $4 trillion market valuation mark, as of the close of the market yesterday, according to stock market data from Yahoo Finance. Microsoft Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq: MSFT) closed at $503.51 per share yesterday, bringing the company's market cap to just north of $3.7 trillion. This makes the Windows maker the second-most valuable company, only behind Nvidia. Of course, like all the companies on this list, its stock price's current and past performance are no predictor of where the company's valuation goes next. Still, as of the time of this writing, Microsoft is less than $300 billion in value away from becoming the world's second $4 trillion company. Apple Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) was the first public company in history to cross the $1 trillion, $2 trillion, and $3 trillion market cap marks. Currently, it ranks third in the world's most valuable public companies. Yesterday, the company's shares closed at $211.14, giving Apple a market cap of just over $3.1 trillion. That means Apple is about $900 billion in value shy of a $4 trillion market cap. While this brings Apple closer in value to $4 trillion than the rest of the companies on this list, the $900 billion gap means Apple's stock price will need to rise by nearly 25% to reach a $4 trillion market cap. The closest Apple has ever come to this threshold is a market cap of $3.9 trillion last year—nearly there. Amazon The e-retail giant Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) is next closest to a $4 trillion market cap. But first, it's got to pass the $3 trillion mark, too. As of yesterday's close at $222.54, Amazon has a market capitalization of approximately $2.3 trillion. This means the stock needs to nearly double in value to reach a $4 trillion market capitalization. Alphabet (Google) Right behind Amazon is Alphabet Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG), owner of Google. The search giant's share price closed at $177.66 yesterday, giving it a market cap of just over $2.1 trillion. Again, that makes it one of the most valuable companies ever, but it also means that Alphabet still needs to pass the $3 trillion mark before it can hope to achieve a $4 trillion valuation, matching Nvidia's. Meta Facebook owner Meta Platforms, Inc. (Nasdaq: META) is the next closest U.S. company to a $4 trillion valuation. However, it is currently a long way from reaching that milestone. The company's shares closed at $732.78 yesterday, giving it a market cap of just over $1.8 trillion. That means Meta shares need to more than double to reach a $4 trillion valuation. Road to $10 trillion? That any public company would have a trillion-dollar market cap once seemed unimaginable. But then on August 2, 2018, Apple did just that, becoming the world's first trillion-dollar company. It took 37 years, 7 months, and 21 days to reach that milestone after its initial public offering on December 12, 1980. Apple's next trillion dollars came much faster. On August 19, 2020, Apple became the first company to surpass a $2 trillion market capitalization. It added that extra trillion in valuation in just 2 years and 17 days. Then, just 2 years, 10 months, and 11 days later, Apple became the first company to cross a $3 trillion market cap. Since Apple first became a 12-figure company in 2018, many other U.S. companies have surpassed this milestone. That includes Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla, and Broadcom. What's remarkable about Nvidia's rise to the most valuable publicly traded company ever is that while it took Nvidia just over 24 years to cross the $1 trillion market cap in June 2023, it took the company a mere 2 years and change to cross the $4 trillion mark. That's an addition of another $3 trillion in market capitalization in less than 25 months. Of course, there's no guarantee that Nvidia stays above the $4 trillion market cap mark. Yet, the rate at which the biggest tech companies are increasing their market caps in recent years suggests that, if things continue on the same trajectory, the world may very well see its first $10 trillion company (or companies) before this decade is over.
