It hasn't even been a month since Samsung announced the new Galaxy S26 lineup of phones, and the flagship version, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which starts at $1,299.99, is already getting a solid deal from Amazon: You can get a $200 Amazon gift card when placing your order through the online retailer. The deal applies to all four colors, and both the basic 256GB version and the maxed-out 512GB storage option as well.
It's worth noting that if you plan to do a trade-in, Samsung offers better trade-in credits than Amazon, going up to $720.
The new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is impressive, both in specs, design, and with practical new features. The most impressive new feature you'll notice is the built-in privacy display, which works like a privacy screen you would buy from a third-party seller. It's a feature no phone company has tried before, but if it works, I wouldn't be surprised if others follow suit. (The feature can be toggled on and off.)
The cameras are excellent, with three lenses (200MP, 50MP, 50MP, and 10MP). The front-facing camera is a 12MP. You'll notice the hardware isn't very different from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but there are new features. One is the pro video recording feature, which lets you record to external drives and shoot in the APV codec (Samsung's pro video codec); more advanced photographers will enjoy the higher resolution video formats. There's also a new video stabilizer to keep your videos from looking bumpy, new AI processors to bring out details in photos, better night-time shooting features, and more.
You'll notice there is a clear price jump compared to the previous generation, but hopefully the $200 Amazon gift card helps alleviate that pain. You can learn more about the Galaxy S26 Ultra on PCMag's s"excellent" review.
