Samsung's Galaxy S26+ has dropped to $890 on Amazon, representing a solid $200+ discount for a phone less than three months old. The deal makes the newer model more compelling against last year's S25+, which sells for $700 with similar core experience.

The S26+ brings modest upgrades including Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and improved wireless charging speeds. Battery life sees a meaningful boost with 16 hours 25 minutes of active use versus 14 hours 26 minutes on the previous model. However, missing features like high-resolution telephoto sensors and IP69 rating keep it from feeling revolutionary.

Motorola's Razr 2026 lineup is now available for pre-order with shipments beginning May 21. The Ultra 2026 model offers only incremental changes from its predecessor, sporting the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chip but adding a larger 5,000mAh battery and brighter 5,000-nit display.

Value-conscious buyers should consider last year's Razr Ultra 2025 instead. It packs the identical Snapdragon 8 Elite processor while costing significantly less than the 2026 models. The 2026 trio feels like an iterative refresh rather than a compelling upgrade, especially given the strong performance of existing alternatives.
