Two of the best prepaid carriers on the market also happen to have two of the best Galaxy S26 deals you can get right now. I'm of course talking about Mint Mobile and Visible Wireless, which appear to be duking it out right now in terms of who can provide the best value.
First up, Mint's deal gets you $500 off upfront any Galaxy S26 series device if you pair it up with a new line. That's a discount that doesn't require any trade-ins, though the carrier is also offering an additional $400 off if you do. On top of that, you'll also get a full year of unlimited data for just $180, which equates to half price.

Which carrier has the best deal?
Both offer a high-end, shiny new flagship on a relatively affordable plan, but the deals are quite different otherwise.
Mint's deal comes with a potentially hefty upfront cost, but if you pay that, then you're going to be good to go for a full year without any additional payments. Even without a trade-in rebate, you're potentially paying just $580 upfront for a device and an unlimited data plan for a full year.
Visible, on the other hand, spreads the savings out over 24 months, so it incentivizes those who want to stick it out over the long run. It's less flexible, but there are options to finance the phone to avoid a large upfront payment. Again, this is without the additional trade-in savings.
In terms of the plans themselves, the Mint unlimited plan is a little more basic than the higher-end Visible Pro Plus plan, which is more like a traditional postpaid option. Both have unlimited data, but the Visible plan includes access to the super-speedy Verizon Wideband 5G network and support for UHD 4K streaming.
