The New Samsung Galaxy S26 Is on Sale With a $300 Discount.
Less than three months after Samsung announced its new Galaxy S26 line of phones , the flagship version, the Galaxy S26 Ultra , is already on sale at a great price from Amazon: you can get $300 off the base version with 256GB of storage or the version with the maximum 512GB . The deal applies to all four colors. This offer beats the $200 gift card Amazon offered at launch, and according to price tracking tools , it’s the lowest price ever.
The 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 works like a screen protector you might buy from a third-party seller. This is a feature no phone company has used before, but it works, according to a 9.3/10 CNET review . I wouldn’t be surprised if others follow suit. The feature can be toggled on and off, but keep in mind that even when turned off, the viewing angle isn’t as good as on the S26 and S26+, which don’t have this feature.
The cameras are excellent , with three lenses (200MP, 50MP, 50MP, and 10MP). The front camera is 12MP. 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 lets you 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 to prevent your videos from looking choppy, new AI processors for sharpening details in photos, improved night-time shooting features, and more . This makes the S26 Ultra a great phone for content creators, as noted in the PCMag review, where it received an “Excellent” rating .
You’ll notice a distinct price increase over the previous generation, but hopefully the $300 discount will help soften that effect.
