💰Good news: you don't have to pay full price for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. There are some genuinely solid deals available.

Starting with Samsung's own deals: trade in a Galaxy S25 Ultra or Z Fold6 in good shape, and you'll get up to $900 off—bringing the S26 Ultra down to just $399. Even an older Galaxy S24 gets you $500 off. Don't have anything to trade? Samsung's offering a $150 instant discount during pre-order anyway.

The carriers are going even further. AT&T will give you the S26 Ultra for $0 if you trade in an eligible device (they're pretty flexible on condition) and commit to a 36-month plan. Verizon offers similar savings through Best Buy, plus a free storage upgrade. T-Mobile provides a free phone with trade-in and their Unlimited Ultimate plan.

Pre-order bonuses include free Galaxy Buds 4, steep discounts on the Buds 4 Pro, and Galaxy Tabs for $45.

A few things to keep in mind: carrier deals spread the discount over 36 months of bill credits, so you're committed for three years. And if you promise a trade-in, you've got 15 days to send it in or they'll charge you back.

If you're already on one of these carriers and due for an upgrade, the carrier deals are hard to beat. If you want flexibility, Samsung's direct trade-in is cleaner, and you can sell your old phone yourself if it's worth more than their offer.
