If you've been eying up the excellent Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, patiently waiting for the next discount, then now's your chance to score a great deal. The official Samsung Store has just listed an impressive $250 discount on unlocked devices as a Memorial Day special.

We've seen this price cut on rare occasions before, but it's a return to the previous record-low price for unlocked devices. Considering it's available across all storage variants and colors, this is a great opportunity to get one of the best phones money can buy for a little less than the fortune it usually commands.

The best Samsung Galaxy S phone yet

In our Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review, we called the device the best Galaxy S phone yet from the brand, even though in our opinion, this is one is a relatively iterative upgrade over the previous model.

Samsung has managed to push forward the overall design, performance, and AI in the Galaxy S26 Ultra without raising the price, which is impressive. The killer new features, in our opinion, are the Privacy display and Super Steady video — quite innovative and exclusive to this Galaxy model, specifically. The major selling point, however, remains the device's incredible display, excellent cameras, and S-Pen support.
