Early Prime Day phone deals are already live at Amazon, two weeks before Prime Day officially starts on June 23. Android Central confirmed Prime Day 2026 has been officially confirmed for June 23 to 26 — which means you have four days to take advantage of some of the year’s best deals at Amazon.
But you do not need to wait. Android Central confirmed unlike most official Prime Day deals, the offers below require no membership to receive the savings. These are straight discounts anyone can grab today.
Here are the 5 best phone deals live right now, what to expect during Prime Day itself, and whether you should buy now or wait.

All prices verified June 9, 2026
Deal 1: Galaxy S26 Ultra $200 Off at Amazon
Android Central’s early Prime Day Samsung coverage confirmed Amazon has slashed $200 off the price of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, weeks ahead of Prime Day. The Galaxy S26 Ultra at $1,099 is the best no-strings deal on Samsung’s top phone right now. No trade-in, no activation.
Android Central also noted you can pretty much guarantee Amazon will discount the Galaxy S26 lineup to record lows during Prime Day itself — with the base model Galaxy S26 potentially dropping to $759 or less during the sale.
Buy now or wait? If you can wait two weeks, Prime Day may push the S26 Ultra below $999 again. If you want a guaranteed deal today, $1,099 is still $200 below retail. For the full S26 Ultra breakdown, see our Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review.
Deal 2: Galaxy S26 Around $799 at Amazon
The base Galaxy S26 has been floating between $799 and $849 at Amazon over the past week — $100 off the $899 retail price.
Android Central confirmed the base Galaxy S26 boasts a lovely 6.3-inch AMOLED display with a Snapdragon processor and all of the latest Galaxy AI-boosted software features.
Buy now or wait? Wait. The base S26 is the model most likely to see a deeper Prime Day cut. Two more weeks of patience could save you an extra $40 to $50.
Deal 3: Pixel 10a at $449
The Pixel 10a has been steady at $449 at Amazon for weeks — $50 off the $499 launch price. This is the best budget Android phone on the market right now.
For the full case for this phone at this price, see our Pixel 10a deal guide.
Buy now or wait? Buy now. The Pixel 10a has very little room to drop further. A Prime Day cut of $25 to $50 more is possible but not guaranteed. At $449, you are already getting strong value.
Deal 4: Samsung Galaxy S24 at $599 (Walmart)
BGR’s Samsung phone deals June 2026 roundup confirmed Walmart is currently offering the unlocked Galaxy S24 128GB model, via Samsung, for $599 after a discount — saving $260 off the original price. This is not a refurbished or renewed model.
Samsung has promised to support the Galaxy S24 series with OS and security updates until 2031. For buyers who want a modern Samsung experience without flagship pricing, this is one of the cleaner deals available this month.
Buy now or wait? Buy now if you want the S24 specifically. Walmart deals do not always sync with Amazon Prime Day. This price could disappear before June 23.
Deal 5: Renewed Galaxy S23 FE at $222
For buyers on a tight budget, Tom’s Guide’s best cell phone deals tracker confirmed the unlocked Galaxy S23 FE 128GB model from Amazon Renewed is close to its lowest average price in June 2026 — currently $222 in “excellent” condition. This fully unlocked model works with most US carriers including AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
A renewed phone at $222 is a legitimate option for someone who needs a working phone on a small budget. “Excellent” condition means no visible scratches and a battery above 80% health.
Buy now or wait? Buy now. Renewed deals are inventory-dependent and can sell out before Prime Day.

The Buy Now vs Wait Decision
Buy now if:
- The phone you want is already on sale and the discount is meaningful
- You need a phone today (your current one is broken or dying)
- You want the Pixel 10a, S24, or renewed S23 FE, which have little room to drop further
- You do not want to compete with Prime Day traffic and potential sellouts
Wait for Prime Day if:
- You want the Galaxy S26 Ultra and want to gamble on a $100+ deeper discount
- You want the base Galaxy S26 at $759 or lower
- You are looking at the OnePlus 15, which has not had a major Amazon discount yet
