Overview
- Samsung reinstated a $350 instant discount on unlocked Galaxy S26 Ultra models on Thursday, bringing some common configurations down to about $949 for buyers who see the full cut.
- The company still offers trade‑in rebates up to $720 for the S26 Ultra, creating two distinct buying paths that change the final out‑the‑door price.
- Some shoppers are seeing an additional, inconsistently surfaced $200 storage‑upgrade credit that can reduce the 512GB S26 Ultra to $949, but that incentive does not appear for all accounts or sessions.
- Samsung listed roughly $350 off new Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra units while Best Buy’s open‑box ‘excellent’ inventory shows deeper discounts of up to about $454, with exact prices varying by storage, color, and condition.
- Shoppers should compare final totals across Samsung.com, Best Buy and Amazon, check for targeted credits and bundle deals on earbuds or watches, and verify open‑box warranties because channel choice will materially affect savings.
