You can expect sales on Samsung products, including the tech giant’s Galaxy smartphone range, Galaxy Book laptops, TVs, smartwatches, home appliances, and more.

I’ve followed the consumer tech market for years and have reported widely on Samsung devices, including its innovations in smartphones, wearables, PCs, and everything from Samsung smart fridges to TVs.

Currently available in three color options — lavender, graphite, or cream — this foldable flagship smartphone offers 256GB of storage and 12GB RAM, powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. As it’s unlocked, you aren’t bound to a specific carrier.

Samsung’s new foldables won’t appeal to everyone, and if you’re in the market for something that simply works, consider the Samsung Galaxy A57. Available on Amazon with a $100 discount, this 5G-ready smartphone offers a 6.7-inch display, 128GB of storage, and reasonable battery life. I picked up this smartphone for an elderly relative, and it ticks every box for them without overcomplications.

Tablets (especially if you’re not the owner of a foldable smartphone) are useful productivity tools and can also be great for reading, gaming, or browsing the web with a larger screen. You don’t need to spend a fortune, either, to pick up a great tablet — I owned an older Samsung Galaxy Tab that served me well for years — and the shopping season is the perfect time to find a discounted model. You can save $130 on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE, for example, at Amazon — a solid, 10-inch model with 128GB of storage and a long battery life.
for $1,400 (save $1,300)
On occasion, a Samsung laptop deal stands out, and even though Amazon’s sale hasn’t yet started, we needed to highlight this deal for the Samsung Galaxy Book6 (2026), which comes with a 48% discount while stocks last. The Samsung Galaxy Book6 is equipped with a 16-inch touchscreen display, Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, Windows 11 Pro, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage.
for $160 (save $90)
Over at Best Buy, you can save $90 on a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro earbuds to accompany your smartphone, tablet, or to keep you entertained while traveling or at the gym. These earbuds come with immersive sound technologies, Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), a built-in microphone, and up to six hours of use on a single charge.
Amazon October Prime Big Deal Days FAQs
When is October Prime Day?
This year, Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days event launches next month and runs from Oct. 6-7. October Prime Big Deal Days takes place every year and always on the run-up to Amazon’s Black Friday week and the start of the shopping season.
How did we choose these Amazon Prime Day deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we want, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals at least 20% off (or rarely on sale — we’re looking at you, Apple), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how often it drops. Samsung devices often appear during these sales events, but discounts vary product-by-product.
We also reviewed customer reviews to learn what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing, along with extensive research and comparison shopping.
The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
What Samsung October Prime Day deals are available?
Discounts on Samsung devices and home appliances usually appear a few weeks before Amazon’s sale officially launches, and new deals tend to roll out over the days (or week) of the event. You’ll find discounts on products including smartphones, laptops, smartwatches, TVs, fridges, PCs, and computer hardware, among other categories.
Are Samsung Galaxy phones discounted during October Prime Day?
Yes. We expect deals on everything from entry-level Samsung smartphones to premium, foldable options, and discounts generally come in two forms: dollars off the retail price or free storage upgrades.
Do October Prime Day Samsung deals sell out?
In some cases, yes. Solid deals on smartphones and TVs, especially, tend to vanish quickly and may not reappear during sales events. The lesson? If the discount is strong and the product is on your to-buy list, consider buying it rather than risking your favorite Samsung deal disappearing.
Does Samsung offer its own discounts during October Prime Day?
Yes. You’ll find discounts on Samsung products on Amazon, but you’ll also find them on Samsung’s website, as well as at other US retailers, including Walmart and Best Buy.
