Amazon Will Give You a $200 Gift Card When You Buy a New Samsung Galaxy S26.
It’s been less than a month since Samsung announced the new Galaxy S26 line of phones , and the flagship version, the Galaxy S26 Ultra , which starts at $1,299.99 , is already getting a special offer from Amazon: when you order online, you can receive a $200 Amazon gift card. The promotion applies to all four colors, as well as the base 256GB version and the max 512GB version.
It’s worth noting that if you’re planning to trade in your old phone, Samsung offers better trade-in terms than Amazon, up to $720.
The new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra impresses with both its specs and design, as well as its practical new features. The most striking new feature you’ll notice is the built-in privacy screen , which functions like a screen protector available for purchase from a third-party seller. No phone company has tried this feature before, but if it proves successful, I wouldn’t be surprised if others follow suit. (The feature can be toggled on and off.)
The cameras are excellent , with three lenses (200 MP, 50 MP, 50 MP, and 10 MP). The front camera has a resolution of 12 MP. You’ll notice that the hardware isn’t much different from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but there are some new features. One of them is a professional video recording feature that allows you to record to external drives and shoot in the APV codec (Samsung’s professional video codec); more advanced photographers will appreciate the higher-resolution video formats. There’s also a new video stabilizer that prevents jerky footage, new AI processors for enhanced detail in photos, improved night vision, and much more .
You’ll notice a distinct price increase compared to the previous generation, but hopefully a $200 Amazon gift card will help mitigate this. For more on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, check out PCMag’s “excellent” review .
