Are you good at Jenga or Tetris? Stacking skills of a different kind could land you a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S26 smartphone for practically nothing when you sign up for 12 months of Mint Mobile’s Unlimited plan. From now through July 8, new subscribers save $500 instantly on any phone in the Galaxy S26 family with a 12-month Unlimited plan, and when you stack up to $400 in credit for an eligible trade-in on top of that, the price of a new Galaxy S26 drops to practically nil.
With this prepaid deal, Mint Mobile Unlimited averages out at just $15 per month, so for a one-time $180 buy you can get a full year of unlimited talk, text, and high-speed data on the nation’s largest 5G network, and a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S26 smartphone to use it on. No hidden fees, no lengthy contracts or monthly installment plans, and for the next 11 months, no bill at all. And if you’d rather break that $180 into multiple payments, you can pay through Affirm.
Newest of the New
The Galaxy S26 family of phones hit shelves less than 2 months ago, with the standard S26, the S26+, and the S26 Ultra giving buyers a range of screen sizes and feature sets to work with. The standard S26 features a 6.3-inch display, while the Ultra stretches to 6.9 inches and adds a built-in S Pen and the world’s first in-phone Privacy Display — a hardware-level feature that limits screen visibility from side angles. All three models ship with Android 16 and Samsung’s One UI 8.5, and Samsung has committed to seven years of software and security updates, which extends meaningful longevity regardless of which model you pick.
All three S26 models are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, which is muscular enough to power the elite camera set that Samsung’s built into their new flagship smartphone fleet. The camera system on the S26 and S26+ is a 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, now paired with updated Galaxy AI processing. Nightography Video applies AI to low-light footage to reduce noise and recover detail, and Photo Assist handles object removal, detail restoration, and style filters on stills.
Get Ready to Trade
The first $500 of this deal come instantly for new Unlimited subscribers, and the stackable credit that could reach as much as an additional $400 comes when you trade in an eligible phone — an iPhone 15 or higher, Galaxy S24 or higher, Galaxy ZFlip or ZFold 6 or higher, or a Google Pixel 9 or higher. Regardless of which of those devices you’d be trading in, your move up to a Samsung Galaxy S26 will be a huge upgrade, as will switching from your current provider to Mint Mobile’s Unlimited plan. That’s your ticket to coverage on the nation’s largest 5G network, with 98% of Americans covered for 5G, and 99% covered for 4G LTE. Add in a free mobile hotspot and free calling to Mexico, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and cap the package with no-cap unlimited talk, text, and high-speed data.
A 12-month Mint Mobile Unlimited plan and a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S26 smartphone are an unbeatable bundle deal, and if you master the fine art of stacking your deals and can add up to $400 in trade-in credit to the $500 instant credit Mint Mobile is offering to new Unlimited subscribers, that new S26 will come for practically nothing. This great Mint Mobile offer is live now and runs through July 8.
