Best Motorola Prime Day deals: 2023 Razr for $450

The Motorola Razr Plus (2024) and Razr (2024) next to each other.

Motorola used to be a pretty big name when mobile phones first hit the market, and while the brand has been somewhat eclipsed by other companies like Samsung and Apple, Motorola has recently had a bit of resurgence, and for a good reason. It's phones are cheap but good, and it offers one of the first and most budget-friendly foldable phones, so it's well worth taking advantage of the first day of Prime Day deals to grab yourself a Motorola. That said, if you're not quite sold on our pick of deals below, then you may also want to check out these Prime Day smartphone deals as well.

It's included in our roundup of the best folding phones as the best cheap folding phone, as it provides a hassle-free foldable smartphone experience that keeps things simple.

Out of all the Galaxy Z Flip 6 pre-order deals, I’d choose these three

Two Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 smartphones next to each other.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is days from being out. In fact, the only thing that is in the way of you getting one is making sure to pre-order. The phone, which will likely be included in our listing of the best flip phones as soon as we get more time with it (it's predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, is our current favorite) is officially launching on the July 24. What time we did get with the phone, expressed in our early Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 review, was very positive, with our review noting the good looks of the phone, including the absence of a noticeable crease. If you've had good experiences with Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip series and really want the sixth generation of the phone, pre-ordering is a great way to do so. Here are the three best ways to get a deal on a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Note: Here, we're focusing on pre-order deals that largely pertain to unlocked Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 phones. If you want a phone locked to Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, or US Cellular, you may have other options, as outline in our comprehensive Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 pre-order guide.
