Samsung’s S26 Ultra has one feature other brands can’t offer and it’s just become hundreds cheaper to buy
Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S26 Ultra stands out for a host of different reasons. Not only does it offer superior speeds and an industry-leading display feature, but in the latest tech offer, it’s been discounted by hundreds of pounds.
As one retailer cuts £288 off the price. Now £41 a month instead of £45, Sky Mobile has cut a huge £144 off the total device plan, as it drops £4 a month, which, when tallied up across the full 36-month contract, is £144, but that’s not all.
The next £144 saving comes with an adjacent data deal, as the 60GB plan drops to £16 a month extra, bringing the total savings to £288. A huge discount considering the device is less than two months old.

It’s one new feature which sees the device ‘have your back’, that’s according to Annika Bizon, Samsung UK & Ireland Mobile Experience Vice President of Product and Marketing. I sat down with her to unpack the newest features.
Speaking of the battery boost on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. She said: “It’s got you. The way I see technology is that it should have your back, and to get 75% battery in 30 minutes is pretty incredible.”

Samsung’s newest Galaxy S26 Ultra is hundreds cheaper, for consumers who split the cost at Sky. While this does require locking into a lengthy contract, the device is now £41 a month instead of £45 a month.
The S26 Ultra is also the first ever mobile phone to offer a privacy display, an industry-first hardware feature that restricts viewing of the screen from certain angles, keeping users’ on-screen info private.
This works by creating a shield around the screen’s pixels and focuses light straight ahead, so the screen can’t be seen from a side angle. Something no other brand, including Apple’s latest fleet of iPhones, has.
Speaking of the Privacy Display, Annika highlighted the standout features of it and how it can be useful for S26 Ultra users. She said: “What I think is really cool about it, you can turn it on for certain apps and optimise against your preferences. You can turn it on for apps, messages, notifications or even passwords, if you just want specific things to be blocked out.”
Highlighting other features, Annika continued: “I love it because you’ve got the hardware innovation like the enhanced nightography feature on the camera, and then you’ve got the software innovation with Galaxy AI.”
“Then the fact that the S Series is slimmer and lighter than it ever has before it blows my mind that every time they can make things smaller and smaller but put more things into it.”
Cut the cost of the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Sky’s contract offer, and rival prices at the likes of Vodafone and EE, are popular for new mobile shoppers who want to split the cost, instead of forking out £1,699 upfront. However, Samsung is offering an eye-opening trade-in offer for anyone with an older model to ditch, which sees the upfront cost plummet.
This can cut as much as £697 off the price (for those handing in an S25 Ultra), but there are options across Samsung, Google, and Apple devices, and it now includes smartwatches as an option.
Back to the Sky deal, and there are points worth flagging. The one being the small £12 one-off cost to secure the contract. Another is negative, as the opening contract price may not stay the same due to inflation-backed price hikes. As highlighted in small print on the Sky plan, the ‘prices may change during the contract period’.
