The best cheap phones offer insane value these days, and more often than not, iPhones are a non-starter for anyone looking to buy on a budget. Thanks to these 5 Prime Day deals, that's not the case right now.

As if dumb phones aren’t already cheap, some are getting a deeper discount with Amazon’s Big Deal Days event that kicks off October 8, 2024. Even in advance of the sale, there are bargains on this type of simplified phone, which is typically priced under $100 (cell carriers typically make most of their money on your monthly service fee.)

Foldable phones can be an expensive proposition, but with Amazon Prime Big Deal Days upon us, this could be your chance to pick up a folding device for less. Some of the best foldable phones have seen their prices drop in advance of Amazon's two-day sales event — including the price of our top-ranked model.
