Although we’ve known for several weeks now that Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is scheduled to run for a cool 48 hours, some special offers are all but guaranteed to go away sooner than the end of tomorrow.
The OnePlus 13, for instance, is currently marked down by $150 from its regular starting price of $899.99 with no Amazon Prime requirement. That discount is only good for the “Black Eclipse” color option of the handset’s 256GB storage configuration, while the 512GB variant is also reduced by 150 bucks from a list price of $999.99 in both Black Eclipse and Midnight Ocean hues.
OnePlus 13
$200 off (20%)
5G, Unlocked, 512GB Storage, 16GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor, 6.82-Inch AMOLED Display with 3168 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, IP69 Water and Dust Resistance, Ceramic Guard Glass, 50 + 50 + 50MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Front-Facing Camera, 6,000mAh Battery with 80W Wired and 50W Wireless Charging Capabilities, Arctic Dawn Color, Amazon Prime Membership Required
Buy at Amazon
But then you’ve got the top-of-the-line model in an “Arctic Dawn” paint job, and if you hurry, that one can be yours at a killer, unprecedented, and possibly unbeatable $200 discount… on one predictable condition.
Because this is an official Prime Day promotion, you need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of it and maximize your savings on one of the best Android phones around. But because the deal is exclusively available on a single OnePlus 13 storage variant in a single colorway, I highly doubt that Amazon will be able to keep it going beyond today.
I can totally see the e-commerce giant run out of inventory in a matter of hours or, at best, that heavily reduced price could go up by 50 bucks before the October Prime Day sale wraps up to match the other two hues.

Despite the impending release of its undoubtedly improved sequel (at least in certain parts of the world), I still consider the OnePlus 13 a very smart buy at the right price (check!) for the right type of consumer. Namely, an Android power user who cares more about things like battery size (6,000mAh!!) and charging speeds (100W!!!) than super-early software updates (still no Android 16, but it’s probably coming soon).
As highlighted in our OnePlus 13 review a little while back, this bad boy’s cameras do leave a bit to be desired (compared to something like Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra, for instance), but the overall system performance and screen quality are as amazing as they could possibly be.

Have you ever saved 600 bucks on a new phone without trading in your existing device or meeting any other special requirements? I’m not talking about spending $600, mind you, but slashing $600 off… an admittedly excessive list price of $1,299.99.
Yup, that means the Galaxy S24 Ultra can be yours for as little as $699.99 if you hurry, and although this mind-blowing new deal comes from an e-tailer known to many of you primarily for selling refurbished and used gadgets at unbeatable prices, these particular devices on sale for the next three days (or while supplies last) are brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 6.8-Inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display with 3120 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Titanium Frame, 200 + 50 + 10 + 12MP Quad Rear-Facing Camera System, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, 5,000mAh Battery with 45W Charging Capabilities, Android 15, Galaxy AI, S Pen Included, Yellow Color, New, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty Included

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
$671 off (52%)
5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 6.8-Inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display with 3120 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Titanium Frame, 200 + 50 + 10 + 12MP Quad Rear-Facing Camera System, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, 5,000mAh Battery with 45W Charging Capabilities, Android 15, Galaxy AI, S Pen Included, Violet Color, Renewed Condition
Buy at Amazon
On top of all that, you’ll also get a full 1-year Samsung warranty from Woot if you decide to jump on this offer before it’s too late, so you’ll basically make no compromise here compared to an Amazon.com order at a significantly higher price.
Speaking of Amazon, you might remember that Woot’s parent company sold this same early 2024-released ultra-high-end handset at a massive discount of $500 as well fairly recently, but that promotion is no longer available and may never return. Instead, the best deal you can get on the nation-leading e-commerce platform right now actually comes from a third-party seller, saving you an additional 70 bucks compared to Woot… if you’re okay with going the “renewed” route.
That built-in S Pen is just one of many reasons to consider a Galaxy S24 Ultra, especially at this killer price. | Image Credit — PhoneArena
I’m obviously not going to recommend making that compromise for just $70 unless you really, really, really hate the “Titanium Yellow” color option available at Woot for $699.99.
Even if that’s the case, you can’t deny the top-notch build quality and visual appeal of what’s still one of the best Android phones out there from every key standpoint. That’s despite the existence of (slightly) better models like the Galaxy S25 Ultra or OnePlus 13, and our comprehensive Galaxy S24 Ultra review from last year makes it clear that this is a product capable of standing the test of time like very few other Android-powered giants around.
