The Samsung Galaxy Ultra and Plus
If you’re looking to upgrade to one of the latest Android phones, the Galaxy Ultra and Galaxy Plus are both seeing good deals through multiple retailers. The Galaxy Ultra is a flagship phone with impressive AI features. The best place to get the Galaxy S24 phones is Amazon, where they are currently going for $1,039.99 (originally $1,299.99) for the 256GB Galaxy S24 Ultra and $799.99 (originally $999.99) for the 256GB Galaxy S24+.
If you’re looking to trade in any tech products, Best Buy and Samsung are also offering deals on both Galaxy S24 smartphones.
Motorola smartphones starting at $249.99
The Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G and Motorola Edge are decent budget phones by today’s standards, and at their current prices, they’re great deals for Android users looking to save money without giving up too much of the “smart” aspects of a smartphone.
The Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G is $249.99 (originally $399.99) for the 256GB version, a great option for those looking for good battery life and like to work with a stylus. You can read more about it in PCMag’s review.
If you don’t care about a stylus and would prefer a slightly better-performing software at the cost of a shorter battery life, consider the Motorola Edge for $349.99 (originally $599.99) after a 42% discount from Amazon. You can read more about it in PCMag’s review.
The best Memorial Day smartphone deal is the Google Pixel 7 Pro
The Google Pixel 7 Pro came out in the fall of 2022 and was considered the best Android phone for its time, according to PCMag’s review. In general, Pixel phones are impressive devices and my personal favorite smartphones. (I still use my Pixel 6a without any issues.) Woot is offering the Pixel 7 Pro for an impressive $399.99 (originally $899.99), undercutting Amazon’s own Pixel 7 Pro deal, which would otherwise also be a great deal. This is the cheapest I’ve seen the Pixel 7 Pro and I would personally upgrade if my 6a were exhibiting any signs of giving up. If you’re looking for a high-end Android phone for an affordable price, you should take the Pixel 7 Pro, which will be covered by Google’s ongoing security updates and Pixel feature updates for years to come.
