Samsung may have increased the Galaxy S26 series' prices by $100 in the U.S., but Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale is offering a massive 32% discount on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, saving buyers $450. This brings the price down to $950 from the new starting price of $1,400. The device remains one of the best Android flagships, praised for its premium build, powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset, 200MP main camera, and built-in S Pen.
A standout feature is the Privacy Display, which prevents side-on viewing without needing a separate screen protector and can be set to activate for specific apps or sensitive information like PIN entry or notifications. The phone also includes Galaxy AI features such as conversational photo editing, Now Nudge, and My Fan Cam, which converts horizontal videos to vertical clips with automatic subject tracking for social media. Despite the price hike, the $450 Amazon discount makes the Galaxy S26 Ultra one of the lowest-priced flagships we've seen recently.
It's ideal for users wanting a premium Android experience with productivity and privacy tools, though those preferring smaller phones or who already own a recent Galaxy S Ultra may want to skip the deal.
