The clock is ticking on Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, and the retail giant is pulling out the big guns for the final day of the promotional event. To clear inventory and entice buyers, Amazon has slashed prices on the best phones from some of the biggest names in the Android world – Samsung, Google, Motorola, and OnePlus.

Samsung Galaxy S24 flagships

At the top of the pile, we find Samsung’s latest Galaxy S24 series flagships receiving some substantial price cuts. Both the stunning Galaxy S24 Ultra in its 256GB and 512GB configurations have been discounted by a cool $150, bringing these future-proof powerhouses close to the $1,000 mark. With Samsung’s commitment to providing a remarkable 7 years of software support, investing in the S24 Ultra today could very well be a decision that pays dividends well into the 2030s.

• Galaxy S24 Ultra (256GB) — $1,150 at Amazon ($150 off)
• Galaxy S24 Ultra (512GB) — $1,270 at Amazon ($150 off)

Not to be outdone, the Galaxy S24+ also sees its price tag slashed by $150 across all storage variants, with even the capacious 512GB model now dipping below the $1,000 threshold. An abundance of storage will undoubtedly come in handy as you look to futureproof your mobile experience over the next seven years.

• Galaxy S24+ (256GB) — $850 at Amazon ($150 off)
• Galaxy S24+ (512GB) — $970 at Amazon ($150 off)

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5

For those enticed by the futuristic allure of foldable devices, Samsung has an equally tempting proposition in the form of the Galaxy Z Flip5. Remarkably, this shape-shifting marvel can now be had for the exact same price as the Galaxy S24+, begging the question – is it finally time to embrace the foldable revolution?

• Galaxy Z Flip5 (256GB) — $850 at Amazon ($150 off)
• Galaxy Z Flip5 (512GB) — $970 at Amazon ($150 off)

While the next generation of Samsung’s foldable lineup is expected to debut around the start of the 2024 Olympic Games, scoring the current Z Flip5 at such an attractive price point could prove to be a bargain that’s hard to resist.

Not to be left out, Samsung’s flagship foldable offering, the Galaxy Z Fold5, has also received a substantial $300 discount. However, even with the price cut, this cutting-edge device remains a pricey proposition for all but the most affluent of buyers. It’s worth noting that unlike their 2024 S-series counterparts, the 2023 Z-series foldable are only promised 4 major OS updates and 5 years of security patches – a slightly shorter software support window, albeit still respectable.

• Galaxy Z Fold5 (256GB) — $1,500 at Amazon ($300 off)
• Galaxy Z Fold5 (512GB) — $1,620 at Amazon ($300 off)

Moreover, both the Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 are powered by last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, a reminder that even the latest foldables can’t quite keep pace with the cutting edge in mobile silicon.

Motorola razr and razr+ foldable phones

For those seeking a more affordable entry into the foldable realm, Motorola has a tantalizing proposition with the razr (2023). Priced at a relatively modest $500, this clamshell foldable packs a stunning 6.9-inch 144Hz LTPO AMOLED display that’s sure to impress. However, the tiny cover display on the outside could prove limiting for some users.

• Motorola razr — $500 at Amazon ($200 off)

Under the hood, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset might not be the zippiest option out there, but in the United States, the razr (2023) currently stands as the only foldable available at this attractive price point.

For those willing to spend a bit more, the Motorola razr+ (2023) offers a significantly more usable 3.6-inch cover display and the added oomph of the aging but still capable Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. Remarkably, this upgraded foldable comes in at $150 less than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip5, offering a compelling alternative for budget-conscious buyers seeking a taste of the foldable future.

• Motorola razr+ — $700 at Amazon ($300 off)

Google Pixel 8 Pro, 8 and 7a

Leaving the foldable realm behind, Google’s Pixel 8 Pro presents itself as a formidable competitor to Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series. Boasting a gorgeous 6.7-inch LTPO display with just-shy-of-QHD+ resolution, the Pixel 8 Pro’s real draw lies in its exceptional camera system.

The 50MP main camera, bolstered by a massive 1/1.31-inch sensor, is complemented by a 48MP ultra-wide lens and an impressive 5x periscope zoom lens, also packing a 48MP sensor. While Google’s home-grown Tensor G3 chipset might not be the most powerful silicon on the block, it represents a marked improvement over its predecessors and should provide a smooth overall experience.

At $749, the Pixel 8 Pro might seem a tad pricey, especially with its imminent successor likely arriving later this year. However, for photography enthusiasts seeking a top-notch mobile camera experience, the current discount could prove too good to pass up.

• Pixel 8 Pro (128GB) — $749 at Amazon ($250 off)
• Pixel 8 Pro (256GB) — $809 at Amazon ($250 off)

If the Pixel 8 Pro’s price tag is a bit too rich for your blood, Google’s more compact Pixel 8 could be the perfect compromise. Priced at a very reasonable $499 after discounts, this diminutive powerhouse packs a 6.2-inch display, making it one of the most compact Android flagships on the market.

• Pixel 8 (128GB) — $499 at Amazon ($200 off)
• Pixel 8 (256GB) — $559 at Amazon ($200 off)

While the camera system lacks the versatility of its Pro sibling, eschewing the telephoto lens and opting for a modest 12MP ultra-wide, the Pixel 8 still promises a highly competent photographic experience overall. Like its larger counterpart, both Pixel 8 models are set to receive an impressive 7 years of software support, ensuring your $500 investment will stretch remarkably far into the future.

For those seeking an even more affordable slice of the Pixel experience, the Google Pixel 7a could be the perfect fit. Priced at just $374 after discounts, this budget-friendly offering packs the older Tensor G2 chipset, a capable 90Hz 6.1-inch display, and wireless charging capabilities (albeit limited to a modest 7.5W).

• Pixel 7a — $374 at Amazon ($125 off)

Software support is understandably more limited than its flagship brethren, with the Pixel 7a slated to receive 3 major OS updates and 5 years of security patches. Nonetheless, for under $400, the Pixel 7a offers a pure, uncompromised Google software experience that’s hard to beat in this price range.

OnePlus 12R

Just when you thought the deals couldn’t get any sweeter, the OnePlus 12R swoops in with a tantalizing proposition. Priced at $600 for the base 8GB+128GB model, Amazon is sweetening the pot with a $100 gift card, effectively bringing the cost down to just $500 – almost on par with the Pixel 7a.

• OnePlus 12R (8GB+128GB) — $600 at Amazon (included $100 gift card)

For that remarkably low price, the OnePlus 12R delivers a stunning 6.78-inch LTPO 120Hz display with a crisp 1,265 x 2,780 pixel resolution, powered by the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Throw in an impressive 90W wired charging capability, and you’ve got a veritable flagship-killer on your hands.

While OxygenOS will only be updated 3 times and the device is slated for 4 years of security patches, the sheer value proposition of the OnePlus 12R is hard to ignore, especially with that sweet $100 gift card bonus. For those craving even more power, a higher-specced 16GB+256GB variant is available for just $100 more.

• OnePlus 12R (16GB+256GB) — $700 at Amazon (included $100 gift card)

Motorola mid-range phones

Shifting gears to the more affordable mid-range segment, Motorola’s Edge (2023) catches the eye with its enticing $350 price tag. For that modest sum, you’ll be treated to a spacious 6.6-inch 144Hz OLED display, a reasonably capable Dimensity 7030 chipset, and a 50MP+13MP dual camera setup.

• Motorola Edge (2023) — $350 at Amazon ($250 off)

Battery life shouldn’t be a concern either, thanks to the generous 4,400mAh cell that supports both speedy 68W wired charging and 15W wireless charging capabilities. While it might not turn heads like some of the higher-end offerings, the Edge (2023) could prove to be a well-rounded and affordable option for the pragmatic buyer.

For those seeking an even more affordable entry point into the world of 5G connectivity, Motorola’s Moto G Power 5G beckons. Powered by the Dimensity 930 chipset, this budget-friendly offering packs a 6.5-inch 120Hz FHD+ IPS LCD display and a solitary 50MP main camera on the back.

• Motorola Moto G Power (2023) — $200 at Amazon ($100 off)

Battery life is a strong suit, with a massive 5,000mAh cell on board, though charging speeds are somewhat pedestrian at 15W wired (no wireless charging support). While it might not set any performance records, the Moto G Power 5G could be an appealing option for those seeking futureproof 5G capabilities on a shoestring budget.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE and S9 FE+

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE series offers a compelling mid-range proposition that becomes even more appealing with Amazon’s current discounts. The base Tab S9 FE model, with its modest 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, is now priced quite affordably.

• Galaxy Tab S9 FE (128GB) — $350 at Amazon ($100 off)
• Galaxy Tab S9 FE (256GB) — $420 at Amazon ($100 off)

The larger Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, with its expansive 12.4-inch 90Hz IPS LCD display (versus the 10.9-inch panel on the standard model), starts at $499 for the base 8GB+128GB configuration. Both tablets share nearly identical internal specifications, though the Plus model packs a heftier 10,090mAh battery to power that larger display (compared to 8,000mAh on the standard FE).

• Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ (128GB) — $499 at Amazon ($100 off)
• Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ (256GB) — $599 at Amazon ($100 off)

It’s also worth noting that this generation of Samsung’s FE tablets boasts full IP68 dust and water resistance – a welcome upgrade over the lack of any ingress protection on the previous S7 FE models.

Google Pixel Tablet

Google’s own Pixel Tablet offering might not be the most powerful slate on the block, but it does have a unique trick up its sleeve. Designed primarily to be used in tandem with the included speaker dock, the Pixel Tablet is intended to serve as a sort of smart display companion when not in use as a traditional tablet.

• Pixel Tablet (128GB) with Charging Speaker Dock — $399 at Amazon ($100 off)
• Pixel Tablet (256GB) with Charging Speaker Dock — $449 at Amazon ($150 off)

Under the hood, you’ll find the older Tensor G2 chipset – hardly a performance powerhouse, but more than adequate for the Pixel Tablet’s intended use case. The 10.95-inch IPS LCD display is limited to a pedestrian 60Hz refresh rate, but that’s unlikely to be a major concern for most potential buyers in this product category.

The clock is ticking, though – these deals won’t last forever. So grab your digital shopping cart and start filling it up with the Android devices that catch your eye. After all, scoring a killer deal on cutting-edge tech is a feeling that never gets old.
