Deal: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is under $1,000, Galaxy S26 and S26+ are also on sale

Later this month, Samsung will turn its attention to launching new Galaxy Z foldables – you can already pre-reserve one here. We know some of you don’t care for foldables, so let’s take a look at what’s going on with Samsung’s slab flagship.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is once again under $1,000. This isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen for the 12/256GB model, but it’s down by $50 or so. Unfortunately, upgrading to 512GB of storage is quite expensive at the moment. Amazon has a better deal on the 256GB variant and the 512GB variant is priced at $1,300, the same as Samsung.com, which offers a $200 instant rebate if you don’t trade in the old phone.

If you go the trade-in route, Samsung.com can knock up to $720 off the price of the S26 Ultra — but you’ll have to send in an S25 Ultra to reach that maximum credit. Would this be a worthy upgrade? Check out our Galaxy S25 Ultra vs S26 Ultra article for more details (we also have a comparison video).

The Samsung Galaxy S26+ is significantly cheaper when looking at the 512GB model, but you do have to sacrifice a lot when you go with the Plus instead of the Ultra. And if you want a 256GB phone, it’s not worth it – $80 extra for the S26 Ultra gets you a ton of features. Here’s our Galaxy S26+ vs S26 Ultra head-to-head article (and we have a comparison video).

There’s a decent but not spectacular discount on the Samsung Galaxy S26 right now – a few weeks ago, we saw it go for under $700 for a 256GB unit. If you want the smaller Galaxy and don’t need it right away, it’s probably better to wait a few weeks.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is at its lowest price in 30 days (for the 256GB unit). While we’re already seeing S26 FE leaks, it doesn’t look like Samsung will unveil the 2026 model this month – we expect to see the new FE in September. You may consider getting the S25 FE instead of the S26+ and upgrading to it in a few years. It’s also a solid alternative to the Galaxy A57, especially when it’s not on sale.

Samsung will launch the Galaxy Z Flip8 in a few weeks, but its price may increase. Meanwhile, Motorola offers affordable flip foldables with the Razr family. Last year’s vanilla model, the Motorola Razr 2025, is $130 or so cheaper than its 2026 replacement. And there isn’t much difference between the two – they effectively have the same screen and the same chipset.

That said, the Motorola Razr 2026 brings a better ultra-wide camera (50MP vs. 13MP), a slightly larger battery (4,800mAh vs. 4,500mAh), and faster storage (UFS 3.1 vs. UFS 2.2).

The Motorola Razr+ 2026 is a more premium model with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 instead of the Dimensity 7400-class chipset and UFS 4.0 storage to boot. So, you will definitely see increased performance, but not many other upgrades.

Earlier this week, a developer released software that connects to the head tracking feature of Sony headphones to use for sim games. This allows you to “look around” at titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator And asseto corsa. The Sony WH-1000XM5 is one of the supported headsets and you can buy one for $250. In-ear buds like the Sony WF-1000XM5 ($280) also work.
