If you are in the market for a new device, you cannot go wrong with the Galaxy S26 Ultra with a deal bringing the device below $950 on Amazon right now.
Within $10 of the lowest price the online retailer has listed the Samsung flagship, if you’re looking for an upgrade and want the best of what Android can offer, this is the flagbearer for it, for better or worse. A deal like this for the Galaxy S26 Ultra probably would have arrived earlier in the year had it not been for the ongoing AI-powered price hikes we’ve seen over the past 12 or so months.
Even with that uncertainty, there are some significant discounts across a lot of Android phones right now, and with many phones starting at well over $1,000 for the top-of-the-line model, this is a steal compared to the $1,399 MSRP.
One of the only catches is that this is only available on the white 256GB model of the S26 Ultra. So you’ll need to determine if that is the color you have your heart set on. That said, once you throw a case on the device, the color matters a heck of a lot less.
This is a heck of a lot of phone for your money, especially when you consider that the Pixel 11 Pro XL starts around the same price and has a lot of drawbacks that aren’t here on Samsung’s best phone. The prices of brand-new tech are still ballooning due to RAM price hikes, but if you’re a patient buyer, it’ll pay off. There are even rumors that the S27 might ship with 8GB RAM in the near future, so stocking up is an easy way to beat the crunch.
$450 off the usual retail price of the S26 Ultra makes it a great deal for one of the most reliable handsets on the market. You could do much worse and get a lot less for your money elsewhere.
