If you spend any amount of time online this week, you\u2019ll almost certainly see dozens of articles telling you what products to buy during this year\u2019s Amazon Prime Day sale. With millions of items on sale during Amazon\u2019s big shopping event, you need some guidance to find the best deals worth buying.<\/p>\n

However, equally important is advice about what\u00a0not\u00a0<\/strong>to buy. This is especially true for Android phones. There are some truly great smartphone deals available for Prime Day, but there are others you shouldn\u2019t touch with a Galaxy S26 Ultra-sized pole.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re purely looking at the phone\u2019s Prime Day discount, it might seem like a killer deal. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold normally retails for $1,799, but only during Prime Day can you buy it for $1,399 \u2014 a new all-time low price.<\/p>\n

While the discount is technically very good, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold just isn\u2019t that impressive of a foldable. It\u2019s considerably thicker and heavier than its competitors, its cameras are pretty disappointing, and the Tensor G5 chip feels underpowered for a phone this expensive. It\u2019s not a terrible phone, but it\u2019s also not a great phone \u2014 even when you factor in the Prime Day price.<\/p>\n

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold becomes an even harder Prime Day buy when you consider that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is also on sale. It\u2019s slightly more expensive at $1,499, but your extra $100 goes a long way. Compared to Google\u2019s folding phone,…<\/p>\n
