Prime Day 2026: the smartphones with the biggest discounts

From the iPhone Air and Pixel 10 Pro to budget models from Samsung, Oppo and Realme, these are the phones on offer — and how to shop wisely.

Amazon’s Prime Day, running from 23 to 26 June 2026, includes discounts on a wide range of smartphones, from flagships to budget models. Here is a guide to some of the phones on offer and tips for getting a good deal.

How to access the deals

Prime Day prices are only available to Amazon Prime members. New users can sign up for a 30-day free trial; after that, membership in Spain costs €4.99 a month and includes free fast delivery and Prime Video.

Phones on offer

Samsung Galaxy A56 5G. A strong mid-range option with AI features such as Circle to Search and object removal in photos, a 50 MP main camera, a bright 6.7-inch AMOLED screen and a 5,000 mAh battery. Samsung promises six years of Android updates.

Google Pixel 10 Pro. Google’s flagship stands out for its AI features — voice typing, photo editing and live translation — and an excellent camera. Some offers bundle it with a Google TV Streamer.

Poco X8 Pro. Xiaomi’s performance-focused model, with a powerful MediaTek Dimensity chip, a 1.5K AMOLED screen at 120 Hz and a 6,500 mAh battery with 100 W fast charging — a good option for gaming on a budget.

iPhone Air. Apple’s ultra-thin model, just 5.6 mm thick, with a titanium frame, the A19 Pro chip, a 48 MP camera and Apple Intelligence features. The trade-off for the slim design is a single rear camera and a smaller battery than the Pro models.

Oppo A6x. A basic phone whose main selling point is a large 6,100 mAh battery, with a 120 Hz screen — suitable for everyday use and social media.

Samsung Galaxy A17. Slim and light, with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, a stabilised 50 MP camera and six years of updates — strong support for a budget phone.

Realme P4 Lite. Designed to be tough, with dust and splash resistance, a reinforced frame and a 6,600 mAh battery.

Vivo V70. A camera-focused model with a 200 MP main sensor, a 1.5K AMOLED display, a 5,250 mAh battery with 90 W charging, and IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance.

Tips for buying

  • Decide what you need before browsing: camera, battery, performance or long-term updates.
  • Check price history. Some “deals” are only small reductions from the normal price. Price-tracking tools can show whether a discount is genuine.
  • Look at the seller. Make sure the phone is sold by Amazon or a reputable seller, and that it is the European version.
  • Check software support. A phone with six years of updates will stay secure and useful for much longer.
  • Consider last year’s model. Previous-generation flagships are often better value than new mid-range phones.
  • Cancel the trial if you don’t want to keep Prime after the free month.
