Smartphones are expensive, and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is one of the most expensive non-folding phones you can buy. With the cost of gadgets on the rise, and with no sign of things changing anytime soon, it's important to take advantage of big savings while you can.
Despite being relatively new, you can already pick up the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for $1,079 at Amazon. That's $220 off the usual price for a model with 256GB of storage, and the only caveat is you have to buy it in black to maximize your savings. If you want a different color, you'll have to shell out an extra $20, since they're $1,099 a piece.
Save $220 on the cost of the latest and best Samsung phone, so long as you're happy with black instead of one of the more colorful options. That gets you a large-screen phone with a strong battery, excellent cameras and some of the most comprehensive AI features around.

There's a lot to love about the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Not only does it include a large 6.9-inch display, but Samsung also introduced the new Privacy Display feature to help protect the contents of your screen from prying eyes. Not to mention a new Horizontal Lock for video recording, which acts as a gimbal to eliminate any shaking around that might occur when filming.

Samsung has also included strong battery life, even faster charging, and helpful agentic AI features that can take control of your phone via commands and prompts, rather than making you do it all manually.
