Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
What we like
  • New design, looks sharp, neat, means business
  • Gorilla Armor is still excellent for its anti-reflective properties
  • Performance is great, even if stressing benchmarks can get it to throttle
What we don't like
  • New camera lenses and their "floating" style will gather gunk
  • Same old battery capacity, battery life, charging speeds
  • Speakers got a minor upgrade, but we wanted more

The Amazon Spring Sale event brought plenty of discounts on Motorola phones as well. The brand's top flip phones, the Razr Plus (2024) and its non-Plus sibling, the Razr (2024), got cheaper by $200-$300. Those weren't the only tempting picks, though. For example, the Motorola Edge+ (2023) dropped to as low as $399.99 at Best Buy.

For Google Pixel phone fans, this spring was the ideal time to upgrade without breaking the bank. Although we expected all Pixel 9 models to go on sale, the foldable Pixel 9 Pro Fold didn't actually receive any discounts at Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart.

Despite our hopes, no OnePlus phones went on sale at Amazon during the Spring Sale event. However, users could save big on the most popular models at the official OnePlus Store. For instance, the 16/512GB OnePlus 13 received a $150 price cut, provided you traded in any phone in any condition. The foldable OnePlus Open went down by $400 around the Spring Sale at Amazon, making it a tempting pick for many.

When will the Amazon Spring Sale 2025 start?


The Amazon Spring Sale started on March 25 and continued throughout March 31. That gave users plenty of time to save on many of the best Android phones by Samsung, Motorola, and more.

Do I need Amazon Prime to be able to participate?


No, you don't need to have Amazon Prime in order to take advantage of the sweet Spring Sale discounts on smartphones. That said, last year's sales spree included select offers for Prime members, meaning some deals might be Prime member-exclusive.
