Edit: The phone I purchased from this listing could not receive updates. Not through the device settings menu or through Samsung Smart Switch. I am having to ship it back for updates. Phone updates are typically delivered through the carrier not through Samsung when using a carrier model phone. If this was a factory unlocked phone, updates would be delivered though Samsung. IDK, maybe the phone I got was just flawed in some way.
Community Reviews
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is being discussed as a premium unlocked Android phone, with the main draw being Samsung flagship hardware and the chance to stack a Prime Visa discount or a post purchase price adjustment. The deal also looks more attractive if you can catch a price drop quickly, since the seller has adjusted orders after purchase. The main cautions are that the listed 10 percent card offer may be targeted or disappear at checkout, and the phone may be a carrier model rather than factory unlocked, which could affect software updates. At this price, it feels best suited to shoppers who want the Ultra experience and can verify the unlock and promotion details.
People who want a flagship Android with long battery life, because an older Galaxy can still hold charge well after years of use.
Upgraders coming from an aging Galaxy battery, because the newer model is framed as a meaningful refresh when the old phone no longer lasts well.
Shoppers who need a secure phone for banking and identity apps, because the concern here is mainly about software support rather than core app use.
People who need guaranteed factory-unlocked software updates, because this listing can be a carrier model that may not receive updates normally.
Buyers who want a low-risk portable device, because a phone at this price is vulnerable to damage, loss, or theft and replacement is costly.
Shoppers relying on the advertised card discount at checkout, because the promotion can disappear after adding the phone to cart.

Have an S23 Ultra, 2 S22 Ultras, and a S22 FE on my account. Know the 22s are reaching the end of their update cycle so that is part of the reason looking at new phones. Saw some humble bragging in this thread about "well, look at how old my phone is and it runs just fine!", but sorry for wanting a secure device I guess? I had some of those old Galaxys too and got upgrades for pennies on the dollar.
I will wait to see what S26U deals there are this BF. Saw some people discussing S27 which is not that far off either, but I just worry that is going to come with another huge MSRP jump.
