Samsung Galaxy S25 FE and Amazon gift cards
Samsung/CNET

With Apple just hours away from announcing the iPhone 17,  Samsung is ahead of the game after introducing a budget phone with plenty to offer. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is a bargain at a starting price of just $650, but right now, Amazon is offering a deal that gets you even more bang for your buck. Spend the same $650 today, and you'll get double the storage and a free Amazon gift card included.

This deal means you'll get a phone in your choice of four colors with 256GB of storage for the usual $650. Take Amazon's $100 freebie into account and you're effectively getting your new phone for just $550 -- especially if you regularly shop at Amazon.

The catch? You only have until Sept. 21 to take advantage of this deal, but doing so couldn't be easier. You don't have to enter any discount codes or clip any coupons to get this discount. Just place your order and your new phone will make its way to you in no time.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE might be considerably cheaper than the rest of the Galaxy S25 lineup, but it still has a lot going on. That starts with a 6.7-inch FHD+ display with 256GB of storage backed up by 8GB of RAM. It also has a Samsung-designed Exynos 2400 chip and a 4,900mAh battery.

Camera-wise, this affordable phone comes with a 50-megapixel main camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide. Zoom shots are handled by an 8-megapixel telephoto camera. Selfie fans will use the 12-megapixel front-facing camera. In terms of colors, there are four to choose from: navy, white, black and icy blue. There isn't a bad option, but we're huge fans of the icy blue finish.

This phone is unlocked, so you can use it with any carrier without taking out any extra contracts.

Why this deal matters

If you're a regular Amazon shopper who will use the $100 gift card, this deal represents an incredible discount. Getting twice the storage for free is just the icing on the cake. Choosing to take advantage of this deal is the easy part -- all you really need to fret about is which color to choose.
