The best early October Prime Day unlocked phone deals at a glance:

If upgrading your phone is on your fall agenda, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days could be the perfect opportunity to snag one at a sweet discount. Rather than coordinating a trade-in or new data plan at a specific carrier, save yourself the trouble and check out Amazon’s list of unlocked phones. We’ll let you in on a little secret: you can usually find better deals.

While Prime Big Deal Days doesn’t officially kick off until Oct. 8, unlocked phone deals are already plentiful at Amazon, particularly on Samsung Galaxy and Motorola phones. There are a few Google Pixel deals in the mix as well, but we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled for more as we inch closer to the big day(s). We’ll be shocked if any unlocked iPhone deals pop up, but there’s always a small glimmer of hope.

Here are the best unlocked phone deals at Amazon ahead of the official October Prime Day. We’ll be refreshing the list regularly as the shopping event nears.

Why we like it

The latest Galaxy Z Fold 6 keeps the same winning formula as the Z Fold 5 (which we loved) but adds a few upgrades to make us love it more. It features a thinner, wider, and brighter display with enhanced resolution, a boost in Snapdragon power, and a ton of AI-powered tools from the Galaxy AI suite. It usually starts at $1,899.99, but ahead of the Prime Big Deal Days event, you can slash $400 off.

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the 2023 Motorola razr+.

Mashable reviewer RJ Andersen recently spent some time with the 2023 Motorola razr+ and found it to be a “worthy opponent to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5.” It may not have the best camera, but it is “a solid phone with some solid specs.” It has a 3.6-inch outer screen and a striking 6.9-inch internal display. It’s also reliable, easy to use, and comes in some fun colors — although currently, only the blue and black are in stock at Amazon. Snatch up the 256 GB razr+ for just $599.99 ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. That’s 40% off and just $50 shy of its record low. If you prefer the newer model (quicker processor, larger outer display, and waterproof design), you can slash $100 off the 2024 razr+ and pay just $899.99.

Best Google Pixel deal

Check out our full review of the Google Pixel 8.

The new Google Pixel 9 is $100 more than its predecessor, which makes this deal on the still great Google Pixel 8 so much more appealing. It may not be the most exciting phone on the market anymore, but it’s still a solid purchase in 2024. It offers a great camera, all-day battery life, a 120Hz refresh rate, a swanky chipset, and fancy AI features. Plus, when you snag it at Amazon through Sept. 28, you’ll save $200 and get a free Google Pixel Watch (WiFi). That’s technically a nearly $1,000 value for just $499.
