Mint Mobile is making it an especially attractive time to drop your current carrier and jump ship. New phones just seem to be getting more and more expensive, so Mint Mobile is willing to help you out by paying for most of the cost themselves when you sign up with them. Right now, if you join as part of the unlimited plan, you will be entitled to $500 off Samsung’s flagship smartphone—the Samsung Galaxy S26.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 comes in four different colors and two different capacities for storage. You can pick between black, white, sky blue, or cobalt violet. The size options are 256GB or 512GB. The 256GB model is normally priced at $900, but the $500 off promotion brings that to just $400. The 512GB model gets dropped from $1,100 to just $600.

The savings don’t end just yet. If you have an old phone you are willing to part ways with, Mint Mobile is accepting trade-ins—the value of which can be put toward your new Samsung Galaxy S26. Depending on the model you can turn over, you might receive as much as $400 in credit. That means if you put it toward the 256GB model, you can essentially get the Galaxy S26 for free. You’ll just have to pay for the data plan.

Unlimited Data for Just $15 Per Month

The data limit pricing structure has also been drastically reduced for a limited time. Mint Mobile has four different tiers for data, with the 5G and 4G LTE plans breaking down as 6GB per month, 17GB per month, 23GB per month, or unlimited. The 12-month contract pricing for each of those is typically set at $180 for 6GB, $240 for 17GB, $300 for 23GB, or $360 for unlimited. However, right now, Mint Mobile has all four plans set at the same exact value, meaning there is no reason to pick anything but the unlimited tier. You’ll be unlimited data on your new Samsung Galaxy S26 for what comes out to only $15 per month. You also get the choice of either receiving a physical SIM card or using eSIM which is delivered electronically.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 is a powerful device. You’re getting a 63.-inch dynamic AMOLED 2X display that’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. It’s got a lengthy battery life powered by a Li-ion 4,300 mAh battery. The camera system included  three different rear lenses including a 50MP main lens, 12MP ultra wide lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens.
