You can land Galaxy S26 for $400 (instant $500 off w/ any trade of a Fold 5 or better)

We already detailed a number of particular wild savings opportunities on the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. From the exclusive $40 credit you’ll receive through our links, how to score Galaxy Buds 4 Pro for FREE or the Galaxy S26 Ultra as low as $400 with trades, through to a chance to land a Galaxy Tab with your order for $45 or less, the deals are wild right now and the pre-order window will be closing in just under a week now. Many of the deepest deals we have featured have been focused on the more pricey Galaxy S26+ and Ultra models as they include larger $150 bonus credits and larger trade-in values, but the deals are arguably just as good on the most affordable model in the lineup considering how much less you are spending on it (or how much less you need to trade-in against it). 

Over on the official Samsung site you can knock the price of the base model Galaxy S26 down from the regular $900 list price to as low as $399.99 shipped when trading in a Galaxy S25, but you can score the max $500 value with a number of different devices and as much as $400 off with even older/less powerful gear. 

Here’s a look at the devices Samsung is offering the max instant $500 off against the base, and most affordable Galaxy S26:

Now you can indeed get the Galaxy S26 Ultra as low as $400 right now, but that’s only if you have a Galaxy S25 Ultra or better to trade-in against it. If you don’t have that, or just any of the less pricey devices to trade-in, you’re not going to get the price of the Ultra down as low as the base model.
