Galaxy & Pixel Phones Keep Prime Day Prices – No Amazon Prime Needed

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days may have wrapped up after just two days, but the ripple effect is still being felt on the phone market. In a pleasant surprise for anyone who isn’t a Prime member, several flagship and mid‑range devices are still being sold at the exact prices they hit during the sale.

Take the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, for instance. The 256 GB version is listed for $1,700 and the 512 GB model for $1,900 on Amazon US. Those numbers are identical to what we saw during the Prime weekend, which means you can grab the premium foldable without the extra subscription fee. Still, you might want to pause and compare it with the newer S 26 Ultra before pulling the trigger.

The regular Galaxy Z Fold 8, however, has slipped back up by $100. It now costs $1,650 for 256 GB and $1,850 for 512 GB – a modest increase, but enough to make the price gap between the wide‑fold and the book‑style model feel tighter.

Good news comes for the clamshell crowd: the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is still holding its Prime price, starting just under $1,000 for the 256 GB variant. If a compact, pocket‑sized foldable appeals to you, the Flip 8 gives you a solid entry point—especially when the S 26 Ultra can be found for a similar amount.

Motorola’s Razr line tells a different story. Both the Razr Ultra 2025 and the freshly released Razr Ultra 2026 have crept up by about $100 since the sale. The 2025 model remains the better value, as the 2026 refresh offers only a marginal upgrade while keeping the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset—still a generation behind Samsung’s newest Gen 5 silicon.

Samsung’s traditional flagships are where the biggest price drops appear. The Galaxy S 26 Ultra is now cheaper than it was on Prime day, but only for select colors (black for 256 GB and sky‑blue for 512 GB). All other hues carry a $40‑$90 premium.

The S 26 + and the base S 26 have also kept their sale prices. The + version, priced at $825/$980 for 256 GB/512 GB, offers a nice performance and battery bump over the S 25 +, while the regular S 26 lands at $725/$900 and feels like a clean step up from its predecessor.

Perhaps the most eye‑catching discount goes to the Galaxy S 26 FE, which finally slipped below the $600 mark. With an 8.3 inch LTPO panel and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, it’s a compelling mid‑range pick—though it loses wired DeX support, something Samsung stripped from the FE.

If you’re looking for an even cheaper alternative, the Galaxy A57 is worth a glance. It’s about $100 less than the S 26 FE, but you trade off a weaker Exynos 1680 processor, a less capable telephoto lens, and slower wireless charging.

Google hasn’t been left out of the post‑Prime bargain hunt either. The Pixel 11 series is still sold at its Prime‑day rates. The Pixel 11 Pro XL, for example, goes for $1,000 (256 GB) or $1,120 (512 GB) and even throws in up to $275 trade‑in credit. If you’re torn between the larger Pro XL and the smaller Pixel 11 Pro, our comparison article breaks down the trade‑offs.

Bottom line: you don’t need an Amazon Prime membership to snag some of the year’s best smartphone deals, but keep an eye on the few models that have already ticked back up. Happy hunting!
