Summary
$100-to-$500 discounts are now available across Samsung’s Galaxy S26 lineup, with offers from Samsung, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart Marketplace and Mint Mobile as of mid-July.
Launch prices started at $899.99 for the S26, $1,099.99 for the S26 Plus and $1,299.99 for the S26 Ultra, leaving room for sizable markdowns after Samsung raised non-Ultra prices this year.
The steepest headline cuts come from Mint Mobile—$500 off several S26 models with a required $180 12-month plan—while unlocked outright deals include the S26 Ultra at $977 on Amazon and the base S26 at $731.50 on Walmart Marketplace.
Color and storage affect pricing, and some inventory is already tightening: Mint Mobile’s 256 GB Galaxy S26 was sold out at the time of the report.
The promotions target buyers who skipped preorder offers and prefer buying unlocked phones without the heavier trade-in and contract requirements common in carrier deals.
