The iPhone Duo may be getting all the attention this month, but if you're team Android you know that the Galaxy S26 is one of the best Samsung phones you can buy. Even better, you can get it for a fraction of the cost of an iPhone Duo.
For a limited time, Mint Mobile has the Galaxy S26 (512GB) on sale for $700. That's $500 off and one of the best cell phone deals I've seen this week.
In our Galaxy S26 review, we noted how the software plays a substantial role in its value. For example, new Agentic AI features like Now Nudge show how proactive the AI is when recommending actions based on what you're doing with the phone.
Samsung also released an update featuring one of the most ambitious AI tools we've encountered: Gemini’s new task automation. It improves upon the Cross App Actions feature of the previous Galaxy S25 by extending it to third-party apps. It’s remarkable how the AI performed every necessary step to place a Dunkin' order through DoorDash.
On the hardware front, the phone's display has grown to a larger 6.3-inch AMOLED screen that is also brighter than the previous model. Other upgrades, like the camera’s horizon lock and the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 performance, add to the phone's overall value. Priced at $700 for the 512GB model, this is an epic deal you can't miss.
