It hasn't even been three months since Samsung announced the new Galaxy S26 lineup of phones, and the flagship version, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, is already getting a solid deal from Amazon: You can get $300 off the basic 256GB storage option or the maxed-out 512GB version. The deal applies to all four colors as well. This deal is better than the $200 gift card Amazon offered at launch and the lowest price they've ever been, according to price-tracking tools.

The 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 it works, according to CNET's 9.3/10 review. I wouldn't be surprised if others follow suit. The feature can be toggled on and off, but be aware that even when it's off, the viewing angle is not as good as the S26 and S26+, which don't have this feature.

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. This makes the S26 Ultra a great phone for content creators, as highlighted by PCMag's "excellent" review.

You'll notice there is a clear price jump compared to the previous generation, but hopefully the $300 discount helps alleviate that pain.
