Community Reviews

This Galaxy S26 Ultra deal is strongest for buyers with an eligible carrier trade in, since the promo adds $200 on top of the device value and can cut the net price sharply. The comments point to very different outcomes depending on the phone and carrier, with a Note 20 Ultra valued at $900 and an S25 Ultra trade in estimated at $579 through Samsung. The catch is that the quoted rate appears tied to a 24 or 36 month commitment and four months of service, and trade in values look weak without a big three carrier device. A solid option if the trade in math works for your line.

  • people who already have a high-value "big 3" trade-in phone (like a Note 20 Ultra) because commenters say the trade-in can be around $900, making the S26 Ultra's net cost much lower (about $400 in one example).

  • buyers who are comfortable staying with the same carrier for the required term because one commenter said they agreed to a 3-year term to get the offered trade-in value and needed reliable signal for work.

  • shoppers who can use the trade-in to stack an extra incentive because commenters describe the structure as getting an extra $200 on top of the trade-in value for eligible devices.

  • people who can't find or verify the advertised coupon/clip because one commenter couldn't locate the clip-able coupon and only saw the trade-in rebate.

  • buyers who don't want to be tied to a long carrier commitment because commenters warn the quoted trade-in rate likely requires a 24-36 month contract.

  • people who don't have a "big 3" device to trade in because commenters say the trade-in value appears super low without one.

  • buyers comparing against Samsung's official store because one commenter said Samsung's trade-in made the S26 Ultra cost about $579, implying the carrier trade-in deal wasn't as strong.

  • shoppers trying to minimize total cost without adding service time because commenters note the deal requires 4 months of service, which increases overall cost.

Where is the "deal"? I tried to enter a couple of my smartphones to see the trade in value, and it's way better to use Samsung official store. I have S25 Ultra at the moment and new S26 Ultra will cost me $579 with the trade-in.
This. If you don't have one of the big 3 to trade in, it seems their value is super low.

Even the S25U brings you something like $550 credit, which in nothing comparing with $730 from Samsung at the moment.

So what's the ultimate price here? With a trade-in? Does the trade-in only give a $200 discount making it 899 or is it 899 minus whatever the trade-in value is? Has anyone seen what the trade-in value for a S 24 ultra is.

Yes...during pre-order / pre-release of new phones...sometimes even twice a year.
