Best Prime Day Phone Deals
The TCL 30 Z is likely one of the most budget-friendly phones you'll find while still getting a solid device. It has a 6.1-inch screen that's running at 720p, and while that's not that impressive, the 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage certainly are at this price. The same goes for the 3000mAh battery, which may seem a bit small in comparison to a mid-range phone, but for less than $100, that's pretty amazing. Just be sure to clip the $5 discount on the page before buying to get the full discount.
Another great budget option is the Nokia G100, and while it has the same HD resolution screen, it is bigger at 6.5 inches. It also comes with a couple of nice features, such as a side-mounted fingerprint reader and facial recognition, which we're surprised to see at this price point. There's also slightly more RAM and storage with 4GB and 128GB, respectively. The 5000mAh battery will also take you much further.
It's rare to find a device in this price range that works well and comes with a stylus, but Motorola has somehow managed to do it. Not only that, but you get a gorgeous 6.8-inch screen with an impressive 120Hz refresh rate running at FHD+. It also comes with the still relatively powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, so it's an all-around power house for such a budget-friendly phone.
The Samsung Galaxy A54 is Samsung's mid-range phone offering with a lot of great features. The 6.4-inch display is very vibrant, and the rear 50MP and Ultra-Wide 12MP cameras take excellent pictures, especially since Samsung has a lot of experience with photo software. The Octa-core Exynos 1380 is also more powerful than the Snapdragon 695, and you even get an impressive 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with the latter being expandable with up to a 1TB MicroSD.
It's rare to find such a great deal on a phone that hasn't been released yet, but if you love Google and want a Pixel phone, this deal gives you both the Google Pixel 8 and the Pixel Buds Pro for less than $700. The Pixel 8 has a lot of new features, like the Best Take photo editing tool, and comes with a Tensor G3 processor, so it's rather powerful. As for the Pixel Buds Pro, they have excellent audio fidelity, top-not noise canceling, and an amazing fit.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a phone that doesn't need an introduction, especially since it's one of the phones that helped launch the foldables market. Featured on our list of best Android phones, the Flip 5 comes with a larger and better front screen and an improved hinge that lets the phone close fully. It also comes with significantly better cameras and performance than the Flip 4 and a slightly better battery life.
Boost Infinite Apple iPhone 15 Pro: $0
Love it or hate it, the new iPhone 15 Pro comes with USB-C and a few other minor upgrades here and there. Of course, if you're just entering the Apple ecosystem, the iPhone 15 Pro is likely the way to go, with an improved A17 chip, the better 3.2 USB protocol, and the new optical zoom, which is better than the competition. This is the only locked deal on the list, but only because it's so good. You only pay taxes and shipping, a $60 activation fee that is credited to your account, and then $60 a month for Boost Infinite, which gives you unlimited talk, text and data.
