I’ve browsed through hundreds of phone deals in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, and these are the ones you should most consider.
Reviewing smartphones for a living might not sound as charming as being a surgeon or Michelin star chef, but doing so gives me one unexpectedly useful advantage: finding phone deals that are actually worth it. Whether a trade-in promotion from a carrier or a discount on an unlocked phone, I’ve seen the best and worst during each major commerce event.
If you’re now eyeing a new phone to upgrade to, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale event is worth checking out. Over the past few days, I’ve seen hundreds of Apple, Samsung, Motorola, Google, and other handset offers, and I can count on my fingers how many of them are actually a good deal. I’ve highlighted them below and will continue to do so throughout the event, which ends March 31, so stay tuned for updates.My favorite Amazon Spring Sale phone deals

I tested all three Galaxy S25 models earlier this year, but the one in my pocket right now isn’t the flagship Ultra. That’s because, for $300 less, the S25 Plus gives you 80% of the Ultra experience, from the large AMOLED screen to the Galaxy AI features to the OneUI 7 software. It also receives up to seven years of software and security updates, keeping the Samsung phone relevant for the long term.
Right now, Amazon has discounted the Plus model by $130, making it a fantastic option for folks who want a flagship experience without paying a flagship price. You’ll also get 256GB of internal storage (double that of most phones) and several color options to choose from.
