The battle for best Android phone is about to get interesting. Earlier this week, Samsung unveiled its new Galaxy S26 lineup. The new family includes the Galaxy S26 ($899), Galaxy S26 Plus ($1,099), and the Galaxy S26 Ultra ($1,299).

For a limited time, T-Mobile is knocking up to $1,100 off Samsung's entire lineup via trade-in and with eligible unlimited data plans. I track cell phone deals for a living and T-Mobile's plans are among the best Galaxy S26 preorder deals I've seen.

Galaxy S26 preorders: up to $1,100 off w/ trade-in + unlimited @ T-Mobile

T-Mobile is knocking up to $1,100 off the entire Galaxy S26 lineup with trade-in and/or select unlimited data plans. Discounts are available for the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. You can also get $40 off the new Galaxy Buds when you pre-order any of the new Galaxy S26 phones.

T-Mobile's deal is welcome news given that the price of the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus increased by $100. (The price of the Galaxy S26 Ultra remains the same). The carrier is attaching various deals with each phone. For example, customers can get the S26 for free with trade-in and T-Mobile's Experience More plan. Alternatively, you can up to $500 off with trade-in alone.
