Amazon Prime Day is finally here. This event, which is a day when the e-commerce giant slashes prices on a variety of items, will last two days. Amazon already revealed plenty of sales before the campaign officially kicked off, and during this stretch of time, everything from laptops and TVs to aroma putty and origami boats are discounted.

A number of phones are also on sale and Amazon is taking 30% off select phone cases and accessories too. We’re compiling the best of those deals right here and we’ll continually update this page as deals change. Note that other major retailers are taking aim at Prime Day with massive deals of their own too. Starting today, Target begins its Deal Days summer sale, eBay will hold a Crash Sale to offer up to 80% off on a wide variety of products (including items from Samsung and Google) and Newegg’s FantasTech Sale starts in earnest with discounts on popular tech products.

In addition to the sales, Prime Day is often used to increase membership to Amazon’s Prime program, which offers free shipping. This year is the fifth year Amazon is holding the event — a day usually marked by high single-day sales (though it’s usually eclipsed by the subsequent Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales each year).

Check back often for the best phone deals (along with the best Prime Day deals on smart home gadgets and headphones and speakers, and plenty of other categories). While you’re at it, here are some smart shopping tips to help you snag the best Prime Day deals and here’s how to make sure you don’t miss a Prime Day sale you’re looking for.

Things to keep in mind:

  • We’ll collect all of the Prime Day phone deals here, once the sale becomes official.
  • We’ll keep an eye on pricing and availability, and note when certain items sell out.
  • Note that CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page.

Like all of Samsung’s Galaxy S10 phones, the standard Galaxy S10 is built from the best parts. It has a wonderfully sharp screen and a long battery life. Camera quality is awesome, and it comes with all the extras, like the ability to wirelessly charge another device.

Though it’s last year’s flagship, the Galaxy S9 is still a superb device. It has a gorgeous 5.8-inch screen, a terrific camera and whiplash-fast speeds. Wireless charging and water resistance complete the package, plus it looks stunning in purple and blue.

Samsung’s big-screen phone from 2018, the Note 9, still has top-tier specs. It also has a monster battery, internal storage that starts at 128GB and an S Pen that can trigger the camera.

The Pixel 3 XL has a top-of-the-line camera that includes an enhanced low-light feature and it has a second wide-angle front-facing camera. It’s water resistant, has wireless charging and its Google Assistant has convenient new skills such as call screening.

The Moto Z3 Play comes with an extra battery pack that gives it two-day battery life. Its take on Android 8.0 Oreo is a pleasure to use, and the fingerprint sensor on the phone’s right side is easy to reach.

The Moto G7 has a slick contemporary design, a dewdrop notch display, decent dual rear cameras, turbo charging, solid battery life and a near-stock version of Android 9 Pie making it worth every penny.

Our favorite budget phone of 2018 just got a whole lot cheaper. The Moto G6 features a near-stock version of Android Oreo and solid dual rear cameras. It also charges fast. (By comparison, the 2019 Moto G7 costs closer to $250.)

Josh Miller/CNET

It’s one of the best gaming phones currently available and the Razer Phone 2 is now discounted. The powerful device is water-resistant, has a bright, 120Hz display and has wireless charging. Its built-in speakers are loud and clear and it runs a nearly stock version of Android.

Angela Lang/CNET

As part of Samsung’s line of affordable phones, the Galaxy J7 may not have high-end specs, but it offers a lot for very little. The phone has a 5.5-inch display, a 13-megapixel camera, a 3,600mAh battery and a fingerprint scanner to boot.
