Community Reviews

The Galaxy S26 Ultra stands out as a premium Android phone with strong storage options, and the comments frame this price as better than Samsung EPP and close to direct Samsung offers. The 512GB and 1TB versions have been bought around this range, and the larger capacity is especially appealing for media, FLAC files, and app-heavy use. The main caveat is that similar or lower pricing can appear through Google Fi, often with trade in or line requirements, so the value depends on how much hassle you want to take on. A solid fit if storage and unlocked flexibility matter most.

Wait for Google Fi deal. S26/S27 Ultra 512gb $650.
If past offers are any indication then the s27 ultra 512 will be available for preorder in Feb 2027 for $650 for existing customers. Something to think about 🤔

I got my S26 Ultra 512GB plus $100 worth of accessories for $921, but I don't really feel like it was much of a discount. Honestly, I think that should be the actual price.

In your experience how worse or better would be new customers Google Fi deals? Should I better become a customer now or wait until S27 in early 2027 be available through them?

That's been true since the S20 series. Where have you been?
