Amazon Smartphone Deals May 2026: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra at Historic Lows, and iPhone Air and Google Pixel with Discounts up to €300, the Best Opportunities Now Available

Amazon rarely concentrates such a broad selection of smartphones across brands, price ranges, and ecosystems at one moment. The ongoing collection of deals covers every category: whether you're looking for the absolute top-tier Android, preferring the software experience of Google Pixel, wanting the new iPhone Air, or aiming for a mid-high range Motorola. In many cases, the current prices are the lowest ever recorded on Amazon, with discounts on some models exceeding €250-€300 compared to the official launch price.

The undisputed star of the moment is the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, available with a cumulative discount reaching €251 at checkout due to a combination of direct reduction and an additional €200 coupon: it is the lowest price ever for Samsung's flagship, a not-to-be-missed opportunity for those waiting for the right moment to purchase the most complete Android smartphone of the current generation. Alongside it, the selection includes models that cover every budget and need, from Google Pixel in the mid-range to Motorola Signature and iPhone Air for those seeking a premium alternative.

The display is a 6.9" QHD+ AMOLED panel at 120Hz with an integrated Privacy Display technology that automatically darkens the screen for those viewing from the side, requiring no additional films. The main camera is 200MP with OIS and 5x optical zoom, paired with a 50MP ultrawide and a 50MP periscope telephoto. The battery is 5,000 mAh with 60W wired, 25W wireless, and wireless reverse charging. Certified IP68 resistance and 3 years official Samsung warranty included in the Italian version.

Google Pixel 9a – Unlocked Android Smartphone with AI Camera, All-Day Battery Life, and Advanced Security Features – Obsidian Black, 128GB
€365.00
€354.99
Buy now

On the pure Android front, the Google Pixel 9a 128 GB in Obsidian Black at €354.99 is the most surprising offer in the whole selection. Equipped with the Google Tensor G4 chip and 8GB of RAM, the Pixel 9a brings Google’s AI features including Magic Eraser, Best Take, and Photo Unblur to a price range normally dominated by second-tier mid-range devices. The main camera is 48 MP with a larger sensor compared to the Pixel 8a, the autonomy exceeds 24 hours, and the 7 years of guaranteed Android and security updates likely make it the best Android smartphone under €400 at the moment.

One tier above is the Apple iPhone 16 128 GB at €689, the most suitable choice for those wanting Apple’s complete camera system without moving into the Air tier. Compared to the 16e, it has the dual rear sensor with ultrawide 12MP, a display brightness exceeding 2,000 nits peak, and Dynamic Island. The chip remains the A18 Bionic, but with a 5-core GPU instead of 4, measurable advantage in gaming sessions and computational photography.

Apple iPhone Air 256 GB: the Slimmest iPhone Ever, 6.5" Display with ProMotion up to 120Hz, Powerful A19 Pro Chip, Center Stage Front Camera, eSim; Cosmic Black
€1239.00
€917.13
Buy now

The boldest proposal in the Apple lineup is the iPhone Air 256 GB at €917, the slimmest smartphone ever produced in Cupertino, with a profile of 5.65 mm and 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display. The chip is the A19 Pro with 12 GB of RAM, the same present on the iPhone 16 Pro, marking a significant performance leap compared to the standard series. The main compromise is the presence of a single rear sensor of 48 MP without an ultrawide: a design choice that prioritizes record thickness over photographic versatility. With 256 GB of storage included, the value for money compared to the Apple list price of €1,239 is still very favorable.

Here’s also the new Motorola Signature 16/512 GB at €843, Motorola's latest flagship featuring the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor and 16 GB of RAM. The display is a 6.8-inch Super HD AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of 165 Hz, while the camera system is built around a triple optic of 50 MP including the 50 MP frontend selfie sensor. The 5,200 mAh battery with TurboPower charging at 90W, IP68/IP69 certification with immersion resistance, and debuting with Android 16 out of the box position it as a serious alternative to Samsung and Google flagships in a slightly more accessible price range.

Here we move to a lower price range. In fact, when a manufacturer manages to pack a 6000 mAh battery into a device for under 200 euros without compromising the rest of the technical sheet, it is worth stopping and taking a closer look. Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 on Amazon at €199 for the 8GB/256GB version is exactly that: a smartphone with 5G, 108 MP stabilized main camera, and a power reserve that is not easily found in this price range. Also worth noting is the 5G support, now essential for anyone wanting a long-lasting smartphone ready for next-generation networks. Faster browsing, quick downloads, and better management of streaming content are just some of the benefits that such support offers.

Another key element is the stabilized 108 MP camera, designed to deliver detailed and sharper shots even in less than perfect conditions. The 6000 mAh battery is also truly remarkable, a capacity above average: it means abundant autonomy, often lasting up to two days with moderate use. This is one of those details that make a real difference in everyday life, especially for those who heavily use social media, browsing, video, and hot spots. The smartphone also uses the latest generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 (4 nm) SoC.
