Amazon has discounted the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus to $774.49, which is $425 off its $1,199.99 recommended retail price, or 36% off. Android Authority said it is the lowest price in months for a Prime Day deal, and the phone has a 4.6-star rating. The S26 Plus sits between the standard S26 and the Ultra. It has a 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a slim build of around 190g. It runs Android 16 with One UI 8.5 and uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

The Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro fell to $135.99, $34 off the $169.99 retail price, a 20% discount. Android Authority said it is the lowest price since launch. The earbuds sit near the top of Soundcore's Liberty range and focus on call quality, including AI-assisted voice pickup. They also offer adaptive active noise cancelation, LDAC and Hi-Res wireless audio support, customizable EQ settings in the app and wireless charging.
