Deal: Galaxy S24, Moto Razr (2024) and Moto Edge (2024) prices hit new low

Now is the time to revisit some old offers as the discounts on select phones are even better than what we saw during the recent Prime Day event. There are some offers that aren’t as good, but they’re worth checking out if you missed the Prime deal from a few weeks ago.

We start with the Samsung Galaxy S24. Last week the base 8/128GB variant was priced at $720. You can now get the model with more storage, 8/256GB, for just $705 (was $780 last week). Keep in mind that this isn’t just doubling the storage, the 128GB variant uses older UFS 3.1 chips, while the 256GB variant is built with UFS 4.0 chips. This means faster reading and writing speeds.

Next up, the Motorola Edge (2024). During Prime Day, this phone was priced at $450 – now it’s $350 for the same 8/256GB configuration. It’s no match for the Galaxy, but at half the price you get a curved 6.6” 144Hz OLED display with 1080p+ resolution, a 50MP (1/1.5”, OIS) main camera and 13MP ultra-wide, 32MP selfies, and a 5,000mAh battery. Fast 68W wired and 15W wireless charging. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is slow, but that’s okay in this price range.

The Motorola Razr (2024) was priced at $600 during Prime Day — which, as we noted at the time, was no big deal. But this 8/256GB model is $450 less. With a large 3.6” cover display, high-quality 6.9” 120Hz LTPO inner display (1080p+), 50+13MP camera, and a 4,200mAh battery with 30W/15W charging, this is a solid choice for a mid-range flip foldable. The Dimensity 7300X is underpowered, but it can handle casual browsing and app use just fine.

A better option is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 – a 12/512GB unit will set you back $940. It’s not as good as the $874 price tag from Prime Day a few weeks ago, but it’s close enough. You get a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip with it but no DeX. The battery is 4,000mAh and supports 25W/15W charging.

The real competitor to Motorola’s Z Flip is the Moto Razr+ (2024). It was $760 during Prime Day, now it’s $800 for the 12/256GB unit. The Snapdragon 8s Gen is a (small) step up from the 8 Gen 3, but you get faster wired charging for a 4,000mAh battery at 45W (wireless is still 15W) and a 50MP 2x camera to go with the 50MP main (Z) . The Flip has a 12MP ultra-wide instead of a tele module, the vanilla Razr has a 13MP ultra-wide).

The OnePlus 12R was one of the top Prime Day deals – $380 for 8/128GB and $475 for 16/256GB. Now, they are $430 and $530 respectively. Not quite as good, but still a solid offering thanks to a 6.78” LTPO OLED display (1264p+), Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and a 5,500mAh battery with 90W wired charging.

We skipped over it earlier, but the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is a capable 5G mid-ranger, especially now that it costs just $250. It features a 6.7” 1080p+ 120Hz OLED display that supports a stylus, a 5,000mAh battery with 30W/15W charging, a 50+13MP camera, stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD slot, and a faux leather back. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is a great 4nm chip for this price range, if not amazing.

Amazon unveiled its first color Kindle e-reader. The Kindle ColorSoft Signature Edition features a 7-inch e-paper display that achieves 300 ppi pixel density when showing black-and-white content and 150 ppi for color content. This is great for reading comic books (ComiXology is natively supported) or highlighting text with different colors. However, it’s not cheap at $280.

If you’re planning on sticking with the good old black over white print, check out the new Kindle Paperwhite. It is available in Regular (16GB) and Signature edition (32GB). The Signature Edition adds wireless charging and a light sensor that automatically adjusts for warm front light. Note that ColorSoft is only available as a Signature Edition and has the same features. The Paperwhite (including the vanilla version) and ColorSoft are waterproof (IPX8) and have a front light with adjustable color temperature.

The regular Paperwhite is much cheaper than the Colorsoft, but you can buy one even cheaper with the new vanilla Kindle. Its screen is smaller (6″ vs. 7″), but just as sharp – both panels have 300ppi pixel density and this generation has improved contrast. The reason to get the Paperwhite is the larger screen and IPX8 rating, but whether they’re worth the extra $50 is up to you.

Amazon has also upgraded the Kindle Scribe. It focuses on reading documents and taking notes with its large 10.2” display (300ppi, B&W). It has added new AI features that can clean up your handwriting, convert your notes into digital text and summarize it into bullet points.
