We’ve seen it happen across the board, so it wasn’t a surprise when Samsung raised prices across its entire phone lineup. If you didn’t buy a Samsung phone ahead of the price increases, you might have felt a little out of luck. However, prices are now falling back to their original launch numbers, making it a good time to pick one up if you haven’t yet.
The future looks bleak
We have a pretty good idea about how future prices won’t get cheaper, so whenever there’s a sale on a phone, we recommend grabbing it because things can always get worse. In this case, we’re seeing Samsung’s top-end lineup, the Galaxy S26, drop back down to its original launch price. And in some cases, we’re seeing them go below their original MSRP.
The Galaxy S26 for $100 less is worth taking a look at. We’re also seeing $150 off the Galaxy S26+ and $200 off the Galaxy S26 Ultra. These are all great phones, with tons of power and excellent software features. Furthermore, Samsung promises to deliver seven years of software updates, which should keep these devices fresh for some time.
We’ve tested all of these handsets, and we think you’ll be pleased by what you’re getting. Just be sure to act fast, we’re sure that these prices will go up as soon as Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is over. The official sale starts on October 6 and ends on October 7. It’s a quick sale, so you might miss it.
