Amazon Prime Day 2026 officially runs from June 23 to June 26, but early deals are already live on Amazon Germany — and there are some genuinely impressive price cuts on flagship smartphones from Samsung, Xiaomi, and Motorola.
Here’s a breakdown of the best early Prime Day phone deals worth your attention, along with honest buying advice to help you choose.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and S25 Ultra
The Galaxy S26 Ultra brings Qualcomm’s latest flagship chip, longer battery life with faster charging, and the new Privacy Reward feature. It loses the titanium frame of its predecessor, but the overall package is a meaningful upgrade. The S25 Ultra, meanwhile, is available at a steeper discount and still offers an exceptional camera system and build quality.
If you want the absolute best Samsung has to offer, go with the S26 Ultra. If you’d rather save significant money and don’t need the latest chip, the S25 Ultra is still an incredible phone.
Galaxy S26 and S26+
The standard Galaxy S26 uses an Exynos 2600 chip in Europe (Snapdragon elsewhere). Battery life improved with a 300mAh bump to 4,000mAh, but the cameras remain unchanged from last year. The S26+ has a larger display and battery but competes in an awkward price zone where a discounted S25 Ultra often makes more sense.
Poco F8 Ultra — Best Value Deal
The Poco F8 Ultra is arguably the best value phone in the early deals. Starting at around €650 for the 12/256GB variant (under €700 for 16/512GB), it’s one of the cheapest phones with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The 6.9-inch 120Hz OLED display, massive 6,500mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, and a triple 50MP camera setup (including a 5x periscope) make it an absolute steal.
Other Notable Deals
The Poco X8 Pro Max at €410-€450 offers a Dimensity 9500s chipset and an enormous 8,500mAh battery. The Motorola Edge 70 is 50% off, though its battery endurance is only average. The Galaxy A57 and A37 are also discounted, but at the €400 price point, the Poco and Motorola options offer better value.
Quick Buying Tips
These early deals require an Amazon Prime subscription, though a free trial works. The storage upgrade to 512GB is almost always worth the small price bump. And if you see a deal on last year’s flagship over this year’s mid-range, take it — last year’s Ultra beats this year’s Plus in almost every way.
