Galaxy S26 Ultra discount: Up to USD 250 off with no trade-in
Samsung is pushing aggressive Galaxy S26 Ultra discount offers ahead of Memorial Day, and the standout deal is a boosted instant saving of USD 250 (approx. RM1,150) with no trade-in required. On Samsung’s own store, that cuts the unlocked 256GB flagship from USD 1,299.99 (approx. RM5,950) down to USD 1,049.99 (approx. RM4,800). The same USD 250 (approx. RM1,150) instant credit applies to every storage tier, bringing the 512GB model to USD 1,249.99 (approx. RM5,710) and the 1TB version to USD 1,549.99 (approx. RM7,080). You must choose between this instant credit and a trade-in at checkout, so it is ideal for buyers who either do not have an old device or would rather keep their current phone. For a handset that has only been on shelves a short time, this is one of the strongest Samsung flagship deals so far.
Base Galaxy S26 pricing and early Memorial Day phone sales
It is not just the Ultra seeing activity in early Memorial Day phone sales. Samsung is also discounting the standard Galaxy S26 and the S26 Plus, giving buyers more ways to save if they do not need the Ultra’s top-end camera and stylus. The Galaxy S26 now starts at USD 819.99 (approx. RM3,750) for the base model, while the 512GB configuration is listed at USD 999.99 (approx. RM4,570). The larger Galaxy S26 Plus drops to USD 924.99 (approx. RM4,220) for 256GB and USD 1,099.99 (approx. RM5,020) for 512GB, with savings between USD 80 (approx. RM365) and USD 200 (approx. RM915) depending on the model. Combined with the S26 Ultra price drop, these cuts show how quickly Samsung’s 2026 lineup is receiving substantial markdowns after launch.
Amazon vs Samsung: Where the S26 Ultra price drop looks best
If you are chasing the lowest Galaxy S26 Ultra price drop on the 256GB model, both Samsung’s store and Amazon are currently aligned. Amazon lists the unlocked 256GB Galaxy S26 Ultra at USD 1,049.99 (approx. RM4,800), matching Samsung’s USD 250 (approx. RM1,150) reduction from MSRP. On Amazon, this version includes a one‑year warranty, Galaxy AI tools, the AI camera system, Privacy Display tech, and Super Fast Charging 3.0 in an unlocked design. Samsung’s own store, meanwhile, extends the same USD 250 (approx. RM1,150) discount to higher storage tiers, which may be more attractive for power users who want 512GB or 1TB. Since Samsung requires you to pick either trade‑in or instant credit, Amazon’s straightforward discount is especially appealing if you do not intend to trade in an older device and simply want a clean, unlocked flagship deal.
Why the Galaxy S26 Ultra remains a top AI and camera flagship
Deep discounts do not change the fact that the Galaxy S26 Ultra is still positioned as a premium flagship built around AI capabilities, camera performance, and a high‑end design. It features a large AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, stylus support for note‑taking and sketching, and a 5000mAh battery paired with Super Fast Charging 3.0 for demanding days. The rear camera array combines a 200MP main sensor with multiple additional lenses, backed by Galaxy AI features like advanced photo editing, Nightography enhancements, and creative tools that run directly on the device. Privacy Display technology helps shield on‑screen content in public spaces, and the 12GB RAM, 256GB storage configuration highlighted in many Samsung flagship deals ensures smooth multitasking. With nearly 19% off the MSRP on current Memorial Day phone sales, the S26 Ultra’s blend of AI and hardware is more accessible than at launch.
