Amazon Prime Day is officially upon us, and just like every year, that means there’s a mountain of deals to sift through, including seemingly endless discounts on Android phones. Some of them are great, others are just fine, and there are some you should avoid altogether.
As you might imagine, this can make finding the best Android phone deals a pain in the butt. And that’s where I come in.
I’ve been reviewing and testing smartphones for over 10 years, and I’ve used many of the best Android phones on the market today. After looking through all of the biggest Prime Day Android phone deals available for 2025, here are the top five ones I would spend my own money on.

I’ll kick off my recommendations with my number one favorite Android phone of the year: the OnePlus 13. It’s the Android phone I’ve used the most in 2025, and if you’re in the market for a flagship handset, I can’t think of a better one to buy during Prime Day.
While specs certainly aren’t everything, they do play a critical role in every smartphone, and this is an area where the OnePlus 13 excels. Its Snapdragon 8 Elite chip is blazing fast, the 6,000mAh battery has enough endurance for two days of use per charge, and the 80W wired and 50W wireless charging speeds are among the fastest available on a phone in the US. You also have up to 16GB of RAM, 256GB of base storage, and a superb 6.8-inch AMOLED display.
The OnePlus 13 checks off every specification box, but it’s the combination of that and what it’s like actually using the phone that makes it so special. I love OnePlus’s color science and image processing, and as such, the OnePlus 13 is one of my favorite smartphone cameras to shoot with. Its blue leather back is one of the best finishes on a phone today; the weight and size are surprisingly comfortable for a phone this big, and OnePlus’s OxygenOS 15 software has quickly become one of my favorite Android skins.
