TL;DR<\/p>\n

Samsung is offering a $250 discount on every Galaxy S26 Ultra storage option, no trade-in required.
\nThe deal brings the unlocked 256GB Galaxy S26 Ultra down to $1,049.99.
\nThere are also enhanced instant credits on the rest of the series, with the Galaxy S26 starting at $819.99.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is the best-selling phone in the series<\/a> this year, and even more people would buy it if price were no object. The $1,299.99 starting point can be off-putting, but Samsung has now softened that blow a little, with its best no-trade-in discount yet on the S26 Ultra through its own US store.<\/p>\n

The unlocked Galaxy S26 Ultra is currently $250 off at Samsung.com<\/a>, bringing the 256GB model down to $1,049.99. The same discount applies across the storage options, so the 512GB model is down to $1,249.99, while the 1TB version is now $1,549.99. Samsung is offering the savings as instant credit, and you can\u2019t stack it with a trade-in \u2014 Samsung\u2019s checkout makes you choose one route or the other.<\/p>\n

There are also discounts on the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus, which vary depending on the storage option you pick. The Galaxy S26 drops to $819.99 for the base model or $999.99 for the 512GB variant, while the Galaxy S26 Plus is down to $924.99 or $1,099.99 for the 256GB or 512GB versions, respectively. Depending on which device you choose, you\u2019re saving between $80 and $200.<\/p>\n

This also isn\u2019t the first time Samsung has run a no-trade-in Galaxy S26 promo. The Galaxy S26 series was getting instant discounts early last month, and that deal was a little better if you were looking at the regular S26 or S26 Plus. However, this is the biggest instant credit deal Samsung has offered so far on the Ultra model.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an undeniably good deal on a top Android flagship<\/a> if you don\u2019t have a device to trade and want an unlocked model. It\u2019s worth noting that Amazon has confirmed Prime Day will take place in June<\/a> this year, so bargain hunters may want to gamble on next month bringing something better. Then again, you can always wait longer in the hope of finding a better hypothetical phone deal just around the corner \u2014 we\u2019d be surprised if the S26 Ultra gets a lot cheaper than this in Amazon\u2019s sale.<\/p>\n
