Best Prime Day Amazon Deals
This story is part of the Digital Trends Prime Day 2026 coverage

It’s almost the end of Prime Day deals, which means it is definitely your last chance until Black Friday to grab a smartphone at a steep discount. In fact, right now, you can get an incredible $200 off the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, one of the very best Android phones. Just for Prime Day, it’s down to $600 at Amazon, an incredible drop from its regular price of $800. Don’t let this deal get away — it’s only live today and tomorrow.

When we took an in-depth look at the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, our reviewers loved the well-designed and colorful hardware and were especially impressed by the top-tier display. This is a great Android phone for someone who wants good value and appreciates good security to go along with it (Samsung upped the fingerprint sensor from earlier versions). While this phone doesn’t carry the same function as the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, it’s still an impressive, dependable, and cost-effective smartphone.

One feature we can’t get over on this smartphone is its cameras. First of all, the camera pod has been integrated into the sleek and glossy frame, giving it a distinctively subtle appearance. The front-facing camera, or selfie camera, is a respectable 10 megapixels, while the three cameras on the reverse side offer a range in their sensors: The ultra-wide camera is 12 megapixels, as is the wide-angle camera. But the telephoto camera is way up there with 64 megapixels — just astounding. But the real move forward here is the ability to shoot 8K video. The most basic backyard video becomes a cinematic-quality experience, with many ways to record, using multi-camera recording and tons of cool effects. If you like making Instagram or TikTok videos — or just love capturing life’s moments in crisp, clear video — these cameras are killer.  And there’s 256 GB to store all that video.

You’ll also appreciate how substantial and sturdy this phone is; the screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus and is resistant to dust. You can toss it in your bag, or pocket, and not worry about scratches, dents, or knicks. There’s also an All Day Intelligent Battery to keep this phone juiced up for when you need it since it manages your phone’s usage so that it can keep tabs on energy and conserve it. And as the name says, it’s 5G capable, so you can send and receive data at the fastest speeds, and never miss a thing. That’s an amazing value, especially at this price.

This Prime Day is seeing a ton of discounts on smartphones, but if you’re in the market for an Android phone, it’s harder to find a better deal than $200 off the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. Right now, at Amazon, it’s only $600, down from its regular price of $800 — that’s a deal you don’t want to pass you by.

Snapchat+ includes several exclusive features, but few have generated as much curiosity as Snapchat Planets. Part of the app's Friend Solar System, it transforms your Best Friends list into a planetary ranking, assigning each of your top eight friends a planet based on how often you interact.

From Mercury, which represents your closest friend, to Neptune, which represents your eighth closest, the system offers a quick visual snapshot of your interactions. But what do the different planets actually mean, and how does Snapchat decide who gets which one?

WhatsApp Web

As one of the most popular messaging services, you’ve already heard of WhatsApp. From its humble beginnings in 2009—two years before Apple introduced iMessage—to its acquisition by Facebook (now Meta) in 2014, WhatsApp has become the dominant messaging platform around the globe.

In recent years, it's grown even more potent with new features like video messages, self-destructing voice messages, the ability to edit sent messages, and more. We even finally got an WhatsApp iPad app in May 2025.

There's no shortage of messaging apps out there. The past decade has given us more options than we know what to do with, largely because smartphones demanded something better than plain old SMS.

Both the App Store and the Play Store are packed with apps that promise to revolutionize the way we communicate. Most of them didn't make it. The truth is, a messaging app is only as good as the number of people using it, and most apps never cross that threshold.
