The Galaxy S26 series has been out for about a month, and while we've seen plenty of trade-in opportunities and deals from carriers, straight discounts on the Samsung phones have been few and far between.

Fortunately, that's all about to change, as Best Buy is currently slashing up to $300 off the flagship lineup, no trade-in required and no strings attached.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 256GB: $1,299.99 $999.99 with activation | $1,099.99 without at Best Buy

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra features a massive 6.9-inch AMOLED screen with an embedded S Pen stylus and the introduction of the new Privacy Display feature. You also get powerful Snapdragon performance with AI features and seven years of OS/security upgrades guaranteed.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra has been selling like hotcakes since it was first announced in February, but you can already score $300 off the phone by ordering through Best Buy and activating with Verizon or AT&T. Skip the activation process and you'll still get a $200 instant discount.
