The Galaxy S26 Ultra is one of the best phones we've tested in 2026. Priced at $1,299, it's far from affordable, but there are plenty of Galaxy S26 Ultra deals that can help lower the price of Samsung's premium phone.

I track cell phone deals for a living and my favorite Galaxy S26 Ultra deal this week comes from Samsung. For a limited time, you can get $720 off the Galaxy S26 Ultra at Samsung via trade-in. If you don't have a phone to trade-in, Samsung will offer a $150 Samsung credit. If you're looking for Galaxy S26 Ultra deals from carriers, T-Mobile is offering the Galaxy S26 Ultra for free with a new line on T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan.
