There were no new major launches in the US, so we will focus on the recently released Galaxy S26 series. Meanwhile, the previous generation Pixel phones have resurfaced.<\/p>\n

The S26 flagships are in an intermediary period \u2013 they are too new for straight discounts, but it has been a month since they arrived, so they need a sweetener \u2013 the top dog, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, is paired with a $200 gift card from Amazon. If you pick the 512GB model, you can also get a $300 bonus on trade-ins.<\/p>\n

To help you pick the best phone for you, we have a Galaxy S26 Ultra vs. iPhone 17 Pro Max article<\/a>. We have also compared it with the previous Ultra flagship, here\u2019s the Galaxy S26 Ultra vs. S25 Ultra comparison<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy S26+ gets a smaller $100 gift card, but both the 256GB and the 512GB models have trade-in bonus \u2013 $200 in this case.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy S26 is in basically the same boat \u2013 $100 gift card and $100 trade-in bonus for both memory configurations.<\/p>\n

Before you settle on an S26 model, we\u2019ll point out that the OnePlus 15 (512GB) is still available at $900 \u2013 that\u2019s cheaper than the small Galaxy S26 (512GB), to say nothing of the Plus and Ultra models. Here\u2019s how the OnePlus 15 compares against the OnePlus 13<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\n \"OnePlus
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy A57 and A37 aren\u2019t available yet. The A57 in particular is headed for a rough launch since the MSRP for the 8\/128GB model is $550, while the Galaxy S25 FE has gotten even cheaper\u2013 an 8\/256GB model is now down to $580 (was $657 last week). The FE is the better phone overall with a faster chipset (Exynos 2400 vs. 1680), an 8MP 3x\/75mm telephoto and a USB-C 3.2 port with DeX support.<\/p>\n


\n \"Samsung
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

Amazon has dug up some leftover Pixel 9-series units. The Google Pixel 9 is available for just $500 \u2013 that\u2019s the same price as the Pixel 10a, which uses the same chipset (Tensor G4), but lacks the old model\u2019s large camera sensors (50MP 1\/1.31\u201d and 48MP 1\/2.55\u201d for the 2024 phone).<\/p>\n


\n \"Google
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the Google Pixel 9 Pro, which upgrades to an LTPO display (6.3\u201d) and adds a 5x\/113mm telephoto camera with a 48MP sensor.<\/p>\n


\n \"Google
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

The larger Google Pixel 9 Pro XL offers a 6.8\u201d display and a larger 5,060mAh battery (up from 4,700mAh on the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro). Note that since these are leftover units (but still new in box), there isn\u2019t much choice when it comes to colors or memory configurations.<\/p>\n


\n \"Google
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

That said, a vanilla Pixel 10 (256GB) costs around the same as the Pixel 9 Pro with the same storage. The 10 may have a telephoto camera, but it\u2019s only a 10.8MP 5x\/112mm unit. And even the 48MP main camera has a small 1\/2.0\u201d sensor, so it\u2019s no match for the old Pro.<\/p>\n


\n \"Google
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

You can always get the Google Pixel 10 Pro, of course, but that\u2019s $800 for the base 128GB model even after a solid $200 discount. Note that the 10 Pro was $250 off last week, so, with a bit of patience, you can get it at a lower price.<\/p>\n
