Community Reviews

This trade in offer centers on a Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus with Mint service and a 60 day unlock, making it appealing for buyers who want a new flagship and can use a trade. The strongest upside is the lower effective price after trade in, with examples landing around $680 to about $900, and some trade values still taking meaningful money off. The main drawbacks are the locked period, the need for a port in some cases, and checkout issues where the trade did not apply as expected. Other nearby offers were also cited as cheaper, so the value depends heavily on the trade and service bundle.

  • The phone reportedly unlocks after about 60 days, which can reduce concerns about long-term carrier lock.

  • Trade-in value reportedly improved further when paired with Mint service, which can lower the effective upgrade price.

  • The trade-in discount reportedly brought the S26+ price down to about $680 after checkout.

  • A $100 trade-in credit example for a Samsung S23 FE suggests trade-in values can meaningfully lower the final cost.

  • The trade-in discount reportedly failed to reduce the cart price below $924 during checkout.

  • The deal was criticized as poor value compared with an unlocked alternative priced around $780 with a free year of Mint service.

  • The phone was criticized as locked for roughly two months, and a workaround using Google Voice was suggested as not worth the hassle.

  • Camera stabilization issues were raised for an out-of-warranty S25 Ultra, which led to a decision not to buy another unit.

I couldn't get the S26+ price below $924 after applying a trade, putting it the cart and going through checkout.
Do you have any ideas why it's not working for me?

Nah, he's right.... just ahead of most in evolution, like ten years ahead.

But this deal blows anyway.

That needs a port, as well as it's a locked phone. Some people value that differently

Given how few upgrades the non Ultra models have been receiving, I don't think this is worth it. Last December the S25 Ultra was around $100 cheaper than this and is still almost identical to the S26U while there are still some Ultra exclusive features that haven't trickled down...

Actually no port needed, and it unlocks after 60 days. I think its currently the best deal on a S26 Ultra and it also has really good trade in values through mint too bringing the price even further down.
