It's not uncommon to see deals on last-gen smartphones. Sometimes you can find discounts on phones that were just released, but they're typically small and don't amount to much. That's not the case today, however, as Amazon Prime Day is here, and the company is offering large discounts on several phones—some of which just launched this year and are marked down hundreds of dollars from their original retail price.
Google Pixel 3a XL + $100 Amazon Gift Card
Google's Pixel 3a XL is a midrange smartphone that comes equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 670 SoC and 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM. Its key features include a high-resolution 6-inch 2,160 by 1,080 OLED display and a large 3,700mAh battery. If you order it during Prime Day, you can it for $479 with a free $100 gift card. In our review, we called it "the best bang for your buck among big-screen Android phones."

Google Pixel 3 64GB
Google's 6.3-inch Pixel 3 features an aluminum frame with a hybrid exterior coating made up predominantly of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. At the heart of this phone rests a power Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC and 4GB of RAM. Right now it's marked down 33 percent, which makes it highly competitive against other competing flagships.

This stylus supports several other features as well, including translation and Bixby Vision, and the stylus fits snugly inside the phone when not in use.

$300 Off Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+
Samsung’s Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ smartphones were released just four months ago for $899.99 and $999.99, respectively. But Amazon is taking $300 off for Prime Day (prism black version only at this point). These smartphones are two of the fastest phones on the market today, with an extensive list of features including three rear-facing cameras, high-resolution AMOLED displays, 8GB of RAM, and at least 128GB of storage space.
Regular Price: Galaxy S10 $899.99 \ Galaxy S10+ $999.99
Price From Amazon: S10 $599.99 \ S10+ $699.99 (prism black)
$250 Off Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+
Samsung's Galaxy S9 has been replaced by the company's new S10, but as a last-gen flagship, it offers excellent performance and an exceptionally low Prime Day price of $349.99. It sports a 2,960 by 1,440 AMOLED display, and runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The Galaxy S9+ has a larger display and a better camera configuration with a 2x optical zoom camera for an extra $100.

Price From Amazon: Galaxy S9 $349.99 \ Galaxy S9+ $449.99
Razer Phone 2 64GB
Razer's Phone 2 was designed as a gaming smartphone, which makes it rather unique. The phone's Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC is passively cooled by a customized vapor chamber that helps prevent overheating and keeps it running at top speed longer. In our review, we found that the 5.72-inch Razer Phone 2 is a great Android phone for gaming but it's pretty average at everything else. If you're a gamer, though, it's half price for Prime Day.
Regular Price: $799.99
Price From Amazon: $399.99
Motorola Moto G7 64GB
Motorola's Moto G7 features Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant, which allows it to take voice commands and control Alexa-enabled smart devices. This midrange phone also has quite the capable octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 SoC, 4GB of RAM, and a large 6.2-inch 2,270-by-1,080 display. For Prime Day, you can get it for less than $200.
Regular Price: $289.99
Price From Amazon: $199.99
Motorola Moto G6
If the Motorola G7 with its 6.2-inch display is too large for you, you might like the Moto G6 instead, which has a 5.7-inch display. There's also a slower Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC, but the same $199.99 price tag, so the G7 really gives you more bang for the buck unless it's truly too hefty for you.
Regular Price: $319.99
Price From Amazon: $199.99
LG Stylo 4 64GB Unlocked
This last smartphone deal is available exclusively for Amazon Prime members. Similar to Samsung's Galaxy S9 Note, LG's Stylo 4 comes with a stylus that can be used for taking handwritten notes on the phone's large 6.2-inch 2,160-by-1,080 display. This phone is slower than most of the other phones on this list, but its octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 should offer plenty of performance for everyday use, and it has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Best of all, it's the least expensive phone on our list at $159.99.
Regular Price: $299.99
Price From Amazon: $159.99
