Best Prime Day phone deals

Amazon has yet to announce official deals for the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, but until it does, here are the best phone deals out there right now.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Perhaps you do want fully flagship specs in every way possible, in which case it’s worth considering the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Galaxy S22 Ultra has similar performance as the standard Galaxy S22, but steps up the display quality, camera, and adds a stylus, for a Galaxy Note-like experience.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4

Want that Samsung experience but on a more modern form-factor? The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is able to fold in half, like the flip phones of yesterday. It’s an awesome modern take on the flip phone, and makes the standard smartphone slap much more pocketable and portable.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is a great device, but the Z Fold 4 steps things up, with two large displays, a high-end camera, and more. Normally, the Z Fold 4 is incredibly expensive, but right now it’s available at a solid discount.

Samsung Galaxy A13

If you’re looking for a great phone at a huge discount, then the Samsung Galaxy A13 is worth considering. It may not be the most powerful phone out there, but it still has a lot going for it, like a solid camera, nice design, and more.

Google Pixel 6 Pro

The Pixel phone series has been getting a whole lot better over the past year, with the launch of the Pixel 6 Pro. The Pixel 6 Pro offers a Google-designed chip, called Tensor, along with a better camera system and an all-new design. It’s a great phone, and while it was a little buggy at launch, it seems to have gotten past those issues.

Samsung Galaxy 6a

If you want the Pixel experience at a discount, then the Google Pixel 6a is the way to go. This device boasts the same Google focused software, with a great camera, and more, all for much less than the standard Pixel 6 lineup.

Moto G Power

Looking for a solid phone that doesn’t break the bank? The Moto G Power is easily the way to go. This phone boasts solid features and performance, at an excellent price.

When is Prime Day 2022?

The normal Amazon Prime Day has already happened — on July 12 and 13. But Amazon has announced a second Prime-exclusive shopping event, called the Prime Early Access Sale. It’s happening right now, and in fact, this is the last day of the event — so it’s worth acting quick.

What is Prime Day?

Prime Day is easily one of the most exciting shopping days of the year. The event is held exclusively on Amazon, and offers some of the biggest discounts on all kinds of products. For starters, you’ll get excellent deals on Amazon’s own products, like the Amazon Echo and Amazon Fire TV. Third-party companies will also offer their own discounts on Prime Day, and as a result, there are thousands of deals.

What is the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale?

It’s kind of hard to say exactly what the Prime Early Access Sale is, given the fact that this is the first time it has actually happened. Amazon says that the event will allow customers to get deals akin to those we would normally only see during the holiday season.

Do I need Amazon Prime for Prime Day or Prime Early Access?

In short, yes you do. Amazon Prime Day and Prime Early Access deals are really only available to Amazon Prime members. If you don’t already have Amazon Prime, however, you can sign up for a 30-day trial to get the deals. There are also some discounts on Prime — for example, students can get Prime for 50% off. And, there are some other great deals for Prime members too — for example, Prime members can currently get channels like Starz and Showtime for $0.99 for two months.

How do I prepare for Amazon Prime Day or Prime Early Access?

The first thing to do to prepare for Prime Day or Prime Early Access is to ensure that you have an Amazon Prime subscription. Without it, you won’t actually be able to take advantage of Prime Day deals. It’s also worth making a list of the deals that you want to find on Prime Day, and bookmark the roundups that are related to those deals. Here’s a list of some of our Prime Day deals roundups:

• Best Prime Early Apple deals

Are Amazon Prime Day and Prime Early Access worth it?

Yes! Prime Day and Prime Early Access are definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re already in the market for something in particular, as you might find a better deal during the Prime Day event. Even if you don’t have a particular deal in mind, you should keep an eye on Prime Day deals, as you might find a diamond in the rough.
