Save up to $500: Amazon is discounting several unlocked phones in the days leading up to its Spring Sale (scheduled for March 20-25), including the latest Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy models.
A look at the best unlocked phone deals:
Amazon is gearing up for a new spring sale this week, March 20-25, and its press release notes that “seasonally related items” will be the star of the show. Think robot vacuums to make spring cleaning easier, fitness trackers for warm-weather workouts, and…unlocked phones, apparently?
Amazon is hosting a new spring sale next week, but it’s not another Prime Day
Let’s just let it go: Just days ahead of its big spring sales, the retail giant is offering unusually good deals on smartphones that work with any carrier, like the deals it usually reserves for Black Friday and Prime Day . That includes several record-low prices for new current models from Google and Samsung, which could sway hesitant upgraders. As of now, Apple’s iPhone isn’t available yet, but that could change once sales officially begin.
Read on for a list of the best unlocked phone deals so far from Amazon’s Spring Sale (none of which require a Prime membership), and be sure to check back as the event progresses: new deals are being added every day.

Read Mashable’s full review of the Google Pixel 8.
Google’s latest flagship smartphone earned a Mashable Choice award for its 6.2-inch 120Hz display, powerful Tensor G3 chip (with AI capabilities), best-in-class cameras, and long battery life; this particular configuration comes with 128GB of storage. It’s not a radically different phone than its predecessors (the equally excellent Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro), but at such a new, historically low price, it’s quite compelling.

Read Mashable’s full review of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Samsung’s new Galaxy S24 Ultra is a serious rival to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, a premium 6.8-inch smartphone with a durable titanium design, a rear telephoto lens with impressive zoom capabilities, and some neat artificial intelligence capabilities. Mashable technical editor Kim Gedeon said it also comes with a built-in S Pen stylus that doubles as a remote control. This is the first discount on the 256GB base model since its launch in January 2024.
