Is Prime Day the best time to buy a new phone?

As a major sales event, Prime Day offers some of the biggest discounts of the year on phones. But that also depends on which phone you're looking for.

Samsung and Motorola have quality deals during this year's Prime Day but Google and its Pixel phones don't have significant deals. Likewise, discounts on iPhones are always difficult to find, even on deal days.

Which phone should I buy?

Samsung, Google, and Motorola design different phones with different users in mind. If you're looking for a powerful phone with some of the best cameras you can find on a phone, the Samsung models listed above will handily do the trick. If you're looking for a simple and reliable phone that doesn't cost too much, Motorola's phones offer excellent value. Pixel phones offer the latest Android updates if you want to stay up to date with the newest features and apps.
