I test iPhones, Galaxy phones, and more for a living – these are the best early Prime Day phone deals to shop for right now

Check the seller information

My first piece of Prime Day deals advice: always check the seller information underneath the ‘Buy Now’ button.

Amazon hosts third-party sellers from all over the world, and while the vast majority of these sellers will be legitimate businesses, some may operate under different shipping standards and returns policies. For that reason, we’ll only be recommending products dispatched by Amazon directly or the brand of the product in question.

In the screenshot above, for instance, you can see that this Samsung Galaxy A16 product dispatches from a third-party retailer called Direct Communication. Now, we’re not saying that you should never purchase products from these sellers, but we can only guarantee a certain standard of service from Amazon and official smartphone brands like Samsung.

Happy Prime Day eve, deals hunters! In this expert guide, I’ll be rounding up the early Prime Day phone deals that are actually worth your money this week, paying particular attention to models we’ve reviewed (and loved) on TechRadar.
