Amazon’s Prime Day deals are now underway. If you’re looking for a new phone and don’t fancy holding out or (presumably) paying through the roof for the iPhone 12, you’ll find some amazing Prime Day smartphone deals around, like the Samsung Galaxy S20, now available for $750, down from its original price of $1,000 — so you’re saving $250. Pick up this phone from Amazon over Prime Day and you’ll automatically get this discount.

With its 6.2-inch dynamic AMOLED screen and 120Hz refresh rate, everything from gaming to Netflix binges look great on the Samsung Galaxy S20. It’s a slim, light phone that feels great in your hand, weighing in at just 5.74 ounces, and its compact size is perfect if you like to sling your phone in your pocket. It features an excellent 12-megapixel main camera, and a second 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, plus a 64-megapixel telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom. Not only will you be able to snap some of the best selfies with this phone, but it takes decent shots in night mode too — something not all phones can promise.

The Galaxy S20 is ideal if you don’t want to spend the extra cash on the larger S20 Plus or Ultra — or tote around a larger, bulkier handset. Although it’s the smallest of the S20 range, it’s not so small that you’ll find yourself wishing for a bigger screen, in fact, it’s slightly larger than the screen on the Galaxy S10. It’s available in Cloud Blue, Cloud Pink, Cosmic Gray, or Cosmic Black, to suit your tastes, and has 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, plenty for all your apps, photos, and files — expandable up to 1TB via microSD. Battery life is adequate for a full day’s use, and the phone is future-proof, with 5G connectivity.

With $250 off the Samsung Galaxy S20 this Prime Day, bringing the price down to just $750, this is the time to bag yourself a bargain if you’re looking for a compact smartphone with an impressive screen, excellent camera, 5G connectivity, and expandable storage. You’ll need to move fast though, as this deal is only valid over Prime Day, October 13.

Here’s how the Galaxy S25 Ultra may beat the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s display

Every year, when new Apple iPhones are released in September, they outperform the earlier Samsung Galaxy S models. However, the iPhones will typically be overshadowed when the following year’s Galaxy S models are released a few months later. Today’s nugget about the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra aligns with this pattern.

According to Ice Universe, Samsung’s next flagship will have slimmer bezels than those of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. As a result, the phone’s bezels will be smaller than those on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which will be released on Friday.

Phone users have come to expect a certain build and design on their devices, which is why the majority of mobile phones have a similar layout. According to the leaker Ice Universe, the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra might have more similarities than you'd expect.

According to the leaker, the two phones will be almost exactly the same size — down to their length, width, height, and even bezel size. The biggest difference is that the Galaxy S25 Ultra won't have the iPhone's Dynamic Island, giving it a slight edge in terms of screen size.

While all eyes are on Apple for the next flagship iPhone 16 lineup, not everyone wants or even needs a phone that starts at almost $1,000 or more. For that demographic, Apple offers the iPhone SE (2022), which is considered its budget-friendly option.

The Apple iPhone SE (2022) is the iPhone for those who don’t need fancy bells and whistles. Heck, it still has a home button, which Apple abandoned the moment it moved on to Face ID. All things considered, it’s a good size for those who prefer not to have gigantic phones.
