Samsung quietly raised Galaxy S26 Ultra prices earlier this year — the base 256GB model went from $1,300 to $1,400, and the 512GB from $1,500 to $1,600, with rising component costs blamed. Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days effectively wipes out that hike: on the event’s final day, the non-foldable flagship is 30% off, a $420 saving that more than pays for a year of Prime even if you’ve already burned your free trial.
What you get
- Display: 6.9-inch panel with S Pen support and Privacy Display mode
- Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy
- Camera: 200MP main
- Battery: 5,000mAh with 60W charging — a full charge in 43 minutes, a Galaxy first
- Foldable alternative: the Z Fold8 Ultra has the same 200MP camera and 5,000mAh battery, but only 45W charging (60 minutes) and no periscope — and it starts at $1,700 after its own 19% Prime discount
Should you bite?
If you want Samsung’s best non-folding phone, this is the lowest it’s been since the price hike. The discount ends with Prime Big Deal Days, so the window is hours, not days.
