Snag this fantastic unlocked Samsung Galaxy A9 for $100 less on Amazon

Samsung Galaxy A9 hands-on
Andy Boxall/Digital Trends

For the longest time, Samsung has been competing with fellow tech giant Apple in the eternal war of smartphone supremacy. Some might say that Samsung is winning. Not on all fronts of course, but at least when it comes to value for your money and to a certain extent, camera quality. Unlike Apple, Samsung has given the public a wider range of offerings that span from the dirt cheap to the high-end. One of Samsung’s midtier smartphone models is the Galaxy A9, a premium looking phone with lots of nifty features.

You can get a factory unlocked unit of the Samsung Galaxy A9 on Amazon for a huge $103 off, perfect for the traveler who doesn’t want to be encumbered with a single carrier.

Get it in Lemonade Blue for $347

instead of $450. To make the deal even sweeter you can get an additional $50 off instantly upon approval for the Amazon Rewards Visa card, bringing the price even lower to $297.

The Galaxy A9 has a lot going on for it. First is how incredible it looks. Its metal frame comes in three gradient colors: Caviar black, bubblegum pink, and lemonade blue.

It measures 162.5 x 77 x 7.8mm, and with the 6.3-inch OLED panel, it’s one of Samsung’s more sizable phones, slightly bigger than the already large Galaxy Note 9. The bezels are narrow and the screen slightly curves around the corners and edges. There’s a finger scanner located at the back, right next to the camera element. The physical buttons including power and volume control are found on the right, while the A.I. button for Samsung’s virtual assistant, Bixby, is on the left.

To set itself apart from other phones, the Galaxy A9 comes with four rear cameras stacked vertically on top of each other — undoubtedly its main draw. The primary 24-megapixel camera is best for low-light conditions. The 8-megapixel camera right below it can capture in 120-degree wide-angle for glorious panoramic shots. There’s the 5-megapixel depth-sensing camera that gathers photographic data which it uses in Samsung’s Live Focus background blur mode. Finally, situated on the low end is a 10-megapixel telephoto lens that provides 2x optical zoom over the primary camera for close-up shots. To top it all off, there’s the front-facing 24-megapixel camera for taking pin-sharp selfies. The images the camera array takes are uniformly beautiful, vibrant, and richly detailed and exceeded our expectations.

The Samsung Galaxy A9 gives premium phone experience for a close-to-premium price. What’s even sweeter is Amazon’s deal that shaves off $103 off the retail price.

Best Samsung Galaxy S25 pre-order deals: Secure the phone today, for less
A person holding the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus.

If you're a fan of the Samsung S24 lineup of phones, then you'll be happy to know that Samsung has just announced its latest lineup of S25 phones, and you can pre-order them already. There have been quite a few upgrades this generation, although one of the big talking points this year revolved around AI and the effort Samsung has put into integrating it into their phones. You can check out more information on our Samsung Unpacked 2025 event roundup for a breakdown of what Samsung talked about, and if you're ready to pre-order, we've collected all the best pre-order deals for you below.
Best S25 deals from Samsung
You can pre-order the Samsung S25 directly from Samsung, and while it doesn't have a direct discount, you can get up to $500 in trade-in credit, which brings it down to $300, and you can also get another $50 in Samsung Credit which will bring it down to just $250. You can also snag the S25, which does have $100 in direct savings that brings the price down to $1,020 from $1,120, plus you can trade-in and get up to another $700 in credit. Finally, you can snag yourself a pre-order for the Samsung S25 Plus with a $120 direct discount which brings it down to $1,300, and there is even another $900 trade-in credit you can get depending on the device you trade in.
There is also a full break-down of the Samsung pre-order deals on the Samsung S25, as well more information on the Samsung S25 Ultra pre-order deals from Samsung.

Best S25 deals from Amazon
One of the most clearcut deals is from Amazon on the S25, which gives you a direct $100 discount, bringing it down to just $800, rather than the usual $900. That's an 11% discount on the 128GB version of the S25, which is pretty substantial given that it's still in pre-order. Unfortunately, Amazon isn't offering any deals on the S25 Plus or the S25 Ultra, but we'll keep an eye out and update this page when and if we see any deals on them.

The Samsung Galaxy A14 is on sale for just $40, but with a catch
Samsung Galaxy A14 5G lock screen

If you need a new phone but you're on a tight budget, you probably didn't think to look at Samsung Galaxy deals, as these include the brand's flagship smartphones. However, there are also some extremely affordable options like the Samsung Galaxy A14. The smartphone is on sale for only $40, following a $60 discount on its original price of $100, but it's locked to a Straight Talk prepaid plan. If you're fine with that restriction, then you better hurry as we're not sure how much time is remaining on this bargain.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy A14
The Samsung Galaxy A14 scored 4 out of 5 stars in our review, which is surprisingly high for an entry-level smartphone. It "offers a lot of bang for your buck" as a member of Samsung's affordable Galaxy A-Series, and it all begins with the first thing that you'll notice -- a 6.6-inch LCD touchscreen with 1080p resolution. You shouldn't expect it to challenge the display of a flagship model like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, but it's still a pretty nice screen for browsing social media, playing mobile games, and watching streaming shows.
