Amazon’s Best Android Deals for October Prime Day
If you've been waiting for a sale to replace your phone, now's a good time to do so: October Prime Day has some great smartphone deals, especially for Android phones. (Sorry, iPhone fans.) Whether you're looking for a solid, traditional smartphone, or a cutting-edge foldable device, there's likely something for most Android users in this list.
Motorola Moto razr+
If you like flip phones more than foldables, you might want to consider the Motorola Moto razr+. The 2023 smartphone is extremely compact when folded, with a 3.6-inch outer display, but offers a full size 6.9-inch touchscreen when you open it up. It comes with a Snapdragon 8 Plus chip, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. You can pick one up for $550, which is a 45% discount on the usual price of $999.
Google Pixel 8 series
If you're okay with getting the previous year's flagship Pixel smartphone, you can get a great deal on the Google Pixel 8. It's on sale for $402.80 right now for the 128GB model, which is 42% off. With it, you get a 6.2-inch OLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate, the Google Tensor G3 chip, a 50MP main camera, and 8GB of RAM. The Google Pixel 8 Pro, which has a larger camera sensor, is also on sale. You can get its 128GB option for $719, which is 28% off. Unfortunately the higher storage options for both the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro don't have attractive discounts.
The Google Pixel 8a is a great smartphone for those who want a flagship-class phone camera without splurging on a flagship. The phone comes with a 64MP main shooter, and also comes with the Tensor G3 chip, a 1080p 120 Hz display, and 8GB of RAM. The 128GB model is on sale for $379.05, and the 256GB model is available for $436.05.
Motorola Moto G Power 5G
While there are many deals on expensive smartphones, some affordable phones are also on sale. The Motorola Moto G Power 5G, which has 128GB of storage, is going for $150, a cool 40% off the usual price. With it, you get a Snapdragon 480 Plus chip, 4GB of RAM, a 720p display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, and a 48MP main camera. This could be a sweet deal for those who need a budget smartphone this Prime Day.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
For those who want a good deal on a top-of-the-line foldable smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 may be the right choice. This phone's 26% off for October Prime Day and it could be yours for $1,400, down from $1,900. That's a seriously good deal for a phone that was released just three months ago.
The Z Fold 6 offers a large 6.3-inch outer display, which folds opens to a larger 7.6-inch display. You get a host of cameras, including a 50MP main camera, as well as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
Google Pixel Fold
The Pixel Fold is a 2023 smartphone, but it's still a good option for those who want both a Pixel and a foldable phone. That guarantees software updates for years to come, as well as all the great AI features that make Pixel phones' cameras worth trying. This model comes with a 5.8-inch outer display, which folds open into a 7.6-inch display. It comes with Google's Tensor G2 chip, as well as a 48MP main camera, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage.
The Fold is on sale for $1,139.05, which is 37% off the usual price.
OnePlus Open
If you'd rather dip your toe into OnePlus' arena, consider the OnePlus Open. This foldable is also a 2023 release, and is on sale at $1,139.99, 33% off its usual price of $1,699.99. With it, you'll get a 6.31-inch outer display, and a 7.82-inch fold-out display. It also comes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, a 64MP main camera, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage.
OnePlus 12
Another high-end smartphone released this year, the OnePlus 12, is on sale for October Prime Day. You can get the OnePlus 12 with 256GB for $599.99, down from the usual price of $799.99. The 512GB variant is available for $699.99, down from $899.99. The OnePlus 12 is not a foldable phone, which means it comes with one 6.82-inch 1440p display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. It ships with 12GB or 16GB of RAM, depending on whether you get the 256GB or 512GB model, respectively. It also comes with a triple-camera system with a 50MP main camera.
