Samsung quietly brings back its BEST Galaxy S26 Ultra deal for the 4th of July weekend — with or without trade
Skip the carrier and go straight to the source with this Galaxy S26 Ultra deal.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is one of the most powerful phones ever built, but with a starting price of $1,299.99, it's also quite expensive. Fortunately, Samsung is attempting to ease the burden by resurrecting one of its best deals for the 4th of July weekend.
For a limited time, you can score up to $720 off the unlocked S26 Ultra when you trade in an old or broken device, no carrier activation required. Don't have anything to trade in? Skip that part of the process altogether and Samsung will STILL hook you up with $350 off the phone, a surprising straight discount that totally clobbers the current offers from Amazon and Best Buy.
Sure, Samsung Galaxy S26 deals are hardly uncommon, but it's unusual to see a straight discount this good outside of major sale events like Prime Day. If you want to buy the Galaxy S26 Ultra but hate all of the fine print included with most phone deals, this is your time to shine.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 256GB: $1,299.99 From $579.99 with trade-in | $949.99 without at Samsung
Buy the unlocked Galaxy S26 Ultra directly from the source and you'll be eligible for up to $720 of instant trade-in credit. Skip the trade-in process and Samsung will still carve a straight $350 off your purchase, no strings attached.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is Samsung's best phone yet, coming complete with a massive 6.9-inch 120Hz AMOLED display (with embedded stylus), unbelievable performance from the Snapdragon chipset, and some of the fastest battery charging we've ever seen in a smartphone. You also get to experience Samsung's handy new Privacy Display feature, plus all of the latest Galaxy AI tricks and seven years of software updates guaranteed.
In addition to the discount described above, Samsung is also offering some impressive savings when you bundle the phone with the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro ($249 now $225) or Galaxy Watch Ultra ($649.99 now $435). Your purchase will also come with six months of SiriusXM streaming, two months of Adobe Lightroom, and a 30-day trial for Samsung Health.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra may not be a massive upgrade over its predecessor, but it's still one of the most powerful Android phones on the market today. If you missed the Samsung deals during last week's Prime Day sale, here's your chance to get a straight discount that's nearly just as good.
