The best early Prime Day phone deals will save you a substantial amount even before the big shopping day is here. From iPhones to Android phones, expect generous discounts on some of our favorite phones.

As if dumb phones aren’t already cheap, some are getting a deeper discount with Amazon’s Big Deal Days event that kicks off October 8, 2024.

When buying the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the most recent Galaxy phone Amazon will accept for trade-in is the Galaxy S21 Ultra, which it priced at $135. Samsung values the exact same handset at $600. A mind-bogglingly large gap in valuation between the two companies.

During the Amazon October Prime Day sale, however, the prices on Samsung's latest foldable phones are getting some pretty significant discounts that almost make them affordable. Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 are currently discounted for Prime Big Deal Days.

Amazon.com Inc. said Thursday its Prime Big Deal Days was its biggest October shopping event ever, as Prime members took advantage of early holiday deals, pushing sales and number of items sold higher than during previous promotions.
