$799.99 is the current discounted price for Samsung's Galaxy S26, with eligible trade-ins cutting the cost further to $519.99.
The offer revives a previous deal window and is being pitched as a limited-time chance for buyers who missed the earlier discount.
Samsung's pitch centers on long-term value: the phone pairs flagship-level performance with seven years of software updates.
A 6.3-inch AMOLED display with 2340 x 1080 resolution, HDR support and a 120Hz refresh rate rounds out the device's main selling points.

As AI consumes global memory, is this the last cheap flagship deal before phone prices are forced to skyrocket?

Samsung promises seven years of updates, but can the S26's physical battery and hardware actually survive that long?
