Amazon’s Early Prime Day Deals: Featured Smartphone Discounts
As a reminder, Amazon has moved Prime Day forward this year, and it is now set to take place from June 23-26. Leading up to this shopping event, the retailer has already rolled out some enticing early Prime Day deals that customers may want to explore. Meanwhile, let’s take a look at some current standard smartphone discounts that don’t require a subscription.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: A Notable Discount
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 512GB is currently priced at $1,220, offering a notable reduction from its previous price. This particular model is gaining traction as the standout option within this generation, especially since other S26 models have not seen any discounts. The 512GB variant deserves special mention here; the 256GB model only sees a minor price drop of $45, making the extra storage in the 512GB version more appealing.
Google Pixel 10 Pro XL: Competitive Pricing
Even with the discount on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the 512GB Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is available for $200 less than its Samsung counterpart, making it an attractive alternative for shoppers. The price difference for the 256GB versions is also modest, with a gap of $70. For those interested in a more detailed comparison, our dedicated article on the Pixel 10 Pro XL and Galaxy S26 Ultra provides insights on each model.
Google Pixel 10 Pro: A Cost-Effective Choice
Amazon is also offering a competitive price on the Google Pixel 10 Pro, which stands in direct competition with the Samsung Galaxy S26, currently without any discounts. This situation positions the Pixel 10 Pro as the more affordable option, especially as the 512GB model of the S26 retails for an elevated price of $1,100.
Google Pixel 10 vs. Pixel 10 Pro
If you’re looking to save even more, the non-Pro Google Pixel 10 is an attractive budget-friendly option. Check out our article comparing the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro for insights on what features you may miss out on by opting for the standard version.
Mid-Range Options: Samsung Galaxy A57 and Google Pixel 10a
With the S25 FE nearing retirement, the Samsung Galaxy A57 has emerged as the mid-range option worth considering. A comparison of the A57 and the S25 FE reveals notable differences in features, while the A57 is priced lower than the Pixel 10, which lacks a telephoto lens—placing them in entirely different categories.
Motorola Edge (2026): A New Contender
Additionally, Motorola has just introduced the Motorola Edge (2026), which features a 6.3” display and is set to become available on June 11. Although it carries an ambitious starting price of $600, it could serve as a compelling alternative to the Galaxy A57 and Pixel 10a once it sees its first discount.
