We are days away from Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event, but if you're in need of a smartphone and can't wait until Oct. 10, we've got you covered.
Below you'll find deals on Samsung's latest foldables, its previous-gen Galaxy smartphone, as well as some midrange finds from TCL, Motorola, and more. If you want the latest and greatest, Google just unveiled its Pixel 8 lineup, and you can get them bundled with the Pixel Buds or new Pixel Watch 2 for free. The iPhone 15 is also on sale (now with less overheating).
If you're not sure whether to pick iOS or Android, check out our breakdown of what each mobile OS brings to the table. Android is generally more customizable than iOS; and we're seeing that with the newly released Android 14 (assuming your phone gets it). But iOS 17 also lets you put your own spin on your smartphone, from the lock screen to widgets. And Apple devices work seamlessly with one another, so you can easily switch between iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

I don't know about you, but I feel like I need a cigarette after Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days. The two-day event was a whirlwind of bargains that we struggled mightily to sort through and summarize for you, dear reader. But now that we are out of Prime time, we're going back for round two.
