Amazon is gearing up to host a new Big Spring Sale this week from March 20 to 25, and its press release specifies that “seasonally relevant items” will be the stars of the show. Think robot vacuums that’ll make spring cleaning easier, fitness trackers for warm-weather workouts, and… unlocked phones, apparently?

We’ll let it slide: In the days leading up to the Big Spring Sale, the retail giant is doling out unseasonably good deals on smartphones that can be used with any carrier, the likes of which it usually reserves for Black Friday and Prime Day. That includes several record-low prices on current Google and Samsung models in brand-new condition that may sway hesitant upgraders. Apple’s iPhones are MIA so far, but that could change once the sale officially starts.

Keep reading for a list of the best unlocked phone deals from Amazon’s Big Spring Sale thus far (none of which require a Prime membership), and be sure to check back as the event progresses: New offers will be added every day.

Why we picked this

Read Mashable’s full review of the Google Pixel 8.

Google’s latest flagship smartphone nabbed a Mashable’s Choice Award for its 6.2-inch 120Hz display, peppy Tensor G3 chip (which supports AI features), stellar cameras, and extra-long battery life; this particular configuration comes with 128GB of storage. It’s not a wildly different handset compared to its predecessors, the also-great Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, but it’s a pretty compelling buy at this new all-time low price.

Read Mashable’s full review of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

A close rival to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Samsung’s new Galaxy S24 Ultra is a premium 6.8-inch smartphone with a durable titanium design, a rear telephoto lens with impressive zoom capabilities, and a smattering of neat AI features. It also comes with a built-in S Pen stylus that doubles as a remote, said Mashable tech editor Kim Gedeon. This is the 256GB base model’s first discount since it launched in January 2024.
