It’s day 3 of 4 of Amazon’s annual Prime Day sale and it’s important to keep in mind that deals don’t stay the same – for example, on day 1, a 256GB Galaxy S26 Ultra was $950 and a 512GB model was $1,150. Today, both versions cost $30 less.

Here’s how the S26 Ultra compares against its predecessor, against the iPhone 17 Pro Max and against the Pixel 10 Pro XL.

Another notable change for today – the other two members of the S26 series are on sale now as well. The Samsung Galaxy S26+ actually ends up slightly cheaper than the small S26, if you look at the 512GB variants. But is the S26+ worth it? Check out our comparison articles to learn more – Galaxy S26+ vs. S26 Ultra and S26+ vs. S25+.

While the Samsung Galaxy S26 didn’t get a ton of upgrades this generation, it is Samsung’s smallest phone – that’s right, there’s no Galaxy mid-ranger or even entry-level model of comparable size.
