The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is easily one of the best Android phones you can buy right now. It comes with plenty of advanced, helpful features that aren’t only great for everyday usage, but also make it possible to stay productive on the go. The only real catch is the usual $1,500 price tag.

Samsung might be able to justify it, but it still stings and is just a lot of money to spend on a smartphone. Thankfully today though, there’s a way to grab the S26 Ultra for less. Amazon is currently offering the stunning black model at a 20% discount, which drops it to $1,207, saving you a whopping $293. All other colors are discounted too, but the discounts vary. For instance, Sky Blue is going for $1,210, while the Cobalt Violet model is sitting at $1,217. Delivery fee is included, so there are no extra (or hidden) charges to worry about.

Features a built-in privacy display

There’s plenty to like here, but the highlight is the built-in privacy display. With this, your screen only stays visible to you, which means you won’t have to constantly worry about other people peeking at what’s none of their business. You can confidently scroll through social media, type passwords, check emails, and respond to texts in public spaces like the subway or a busy cafe.

Camera quality is really impressive. You can take stunning, highly detailed, and hyper-realistic photos both day and night. There’s also Nightography to help you record in the dark, along with Wider Selfie Capture that takes everyone into the frame without a lot of squeezing and pushing. If you like to film videos, you’ll appreciate the Horizontal Lock that recognizes the direction of gravity and keeps your shots level, even when you’re rotating the phone. 

The AI-ready processor delivers around 24% better GPU and 19% better CPU performance than the predecessor. It handles everyday tasks well, but also does a really good job with activities that require a bit more muscle, such as gaming or editing. You won’t be hunting for a charger frequently during the day, either, as a single charge can keep it running for hours. Additionally, support for Super Fast Charging 3.0 means recharging won’t take forever, and you get back to using it quickly. 

Some other features that deserve a mention here are Now-Nudge, which helps you access relevant information quickly, and Samsung Wallet for quicker, hassle-free payments. You can now enjoy all this and more without paying the full $1,500 price for this powerful smartphone. Several colors are discounted, with prices starting at just $1,208 for the black version.
