There are so many sales going on right now that it can be difficult to remember everything you were hoping to shop for during Amazon’s huge Prime Day blitz. Well take a quick look at your phone. Is it outdated? Is the screen all scratched up or even cracked? If so, today is the perfect day to upgrade because Amazon is running a huge sale on unlocked smartphones. Prices start at just $79.20 for an unlocked Nokia 2 with a 5-inch display and a quad-core Snapdragon processor, but there are also some great high-end phones on sale for Prime Day. For example, you can save $300 on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 or a Huawei Mate 10 Pro! You can also snag a 128GB Essential Phone PH-1 for $249.99, its lowest price ever, but you’ll have to choose Amazon from the “other sellers” section and then wait a little while before it ships.

And finally, the best-selling new smartphone on Amazon — Motorola’s Moto G6 — is on sale for an extra $40 off under Amazon’s Prime Exclusive Phones program. You can check out all of the unlocked smartphones Amazon has on sale for Prime Day right here, or check out our five favorites below.
