Amazon cut the unlocked Galaxy S26+ to new tracked lows, pricing the 256GB model at $890 from $1,100 and the 512GB version at $1,065 from $1,300.
Those prices beat Samsung’s current $200 direct discount, though Samsung still offers up to $480 off with trade-in, while Best Buy open-box S26+ units fall as low as $776.
Galaxy S26 Ultra deals remain deeper on some configurations, with open-box discounts reaching $435 off after earlier same-day offers around $325 off with Galaxy Buds 4 Pro bundles.
Amazon also discounted the Galaxy Tab S11 to $750 from its now-regular $1,000 price, a deal framed as a way to avoid Samsung’s recent tablet price increases.
