Amazon’s October sales extravaganza, officially called Prime Big Deal Days kicks off on Oct 6 and runs through Oct 7. Positioned as the pre-Black-Friday launchpad, the event has already surfaced eye-popping reductions on a range of devices. Two brands dominate the headlines: Motorola, with its now-affordable Motorola Edge (2025) and Samsung, whose flagship lineup is being offered at unprecedented price points.
Below, we break down the most compelling offers, explain why they matter, and give you a quick checklist so you can act before stock disappears. All prices are Amazon listings as of the start of the sale; availability may change rapidly as savvy shoppers snap up the deals.
Motorola Edge (2025): a mid-range marvel at a record low
The Motorola Edge (2025) entered the U.S. market roughly a year and a half ago, positioning itself as a solid mid-range alternative to the premium crowd. Its appeal rests on a 6.7-inch OLED display, a Snapdragon 8+ chipset, 12 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB storage variant—all bundled in a sleek, ergonomic shell. During the Prime Day event, Amazon is pricing the device at a level that undercuts its original launch price, making it the most attractive deal in the Motorola catalog. This price cut is especially notable because Motorola has not traditionally seen such deep discounts on its flagship-adjacent models.
For consumers hunting a capable device without paying flagship premiums, the Edge (2025) now offers a sweet spot: high-end performance, 5G readiness, and a design language that feels premium without the flagship sticker shock. The phone is sold unlocked, so buyers aren’t locked into a carrier contract, adding flexibility for those who travel or prefer a BYOD approach.
Samsung’s headline offers during Prime Big Deal Days
Samsung’s presence at the sale is massive, covering smartphones, wearables, tablets, laptops, and even home entertainment. Below are the standout discounts that have drawn the most attention.
Foldables: Z Fold8 and Z Flip8
The samsung galaxy Z Fold8 enjoys a $250 reduction, bringing the price down to $1,650 for the 256 GB / 12 GB configuration. Shoppers can choose from three hues—lavender, graphite, and cream—each offering a premium foldable experience powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. The device remains unlocked, mirroring the Edge’s carrier-free flexibility.
Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is listed at $1,050 after a $150 discount, available exclusively in graphite. It also runs the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and targets users who prefer a more compact flip form factor over the larger book-style Fold.
Flagship smartphones and accessories
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is offered at $1,176, a $224 savings, and comes with a robust set of features: a 200-MP main sensor, 12 GB RAM, and support for the S Pen, turning the phone into a mini-tablet for power users.
For those who need a small, Bluetooth-enabled tracker, the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 drops to $21 (originally $30), making it an inexpensive safeguard for keys, wallets, or bags.
Audio lovers can snag the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro for $150, saving $100 off the regular price. The earbuds feature Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation and up to six hours of playback per charge.
TVs, laptops, tablets and more
The 75-inch Crystal UHD TV is discounted to $528, a modest $70 cut, but the sheer screen size makes it a tempting option for home-theater setups. Samsung’s Galaxy Book 6 (2026) is a standout laptop deal: a $1,300 coupon brings the price down to $1,400, delivering a 16-inch touchscreen, Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, 16 GB RAM, and a 1 TB SSD.
Tablet enthusiasts will find the Galaxy Tab S10 FE at $484, down $66, offering a large display suited for multitasking, media consumption, and light creative work. Each of these items reflects Samsung’s strategy of pairing high-spec hardware with aggressive price slashes to dominate the October sales window.
Whether you’re after a capable mid-range phone, a cutting-edge foldable, or a home-entertainment upgrade, the current lineup offers value that is unlikely to be matched later in the season.
