Deal | Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-order deals: Amazon offers free storage upgrades and up to $200 in gift cards

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series will not hit the market until March 11, but preorders are already open. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at $1,299.99 for the base model with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM, matching last year’s pricing. However, the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus both see a $100 price increase, starting at $899.99 and $1,099.99, respectively.

That said, Samsung's preorder offers in the US are not particularly exciting this year, as there are no free storage upgrades. Instead, Samsung is offering trade-in credits of up to $900 alongside up to $150 in store credit. Amazon, however, is offering stronger deals across all three models, including free storage upgrades.

512GB Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with $200 gift card for $1,299.99

Amazon has now listed the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with 512GB of storage for $1,299.99, which is the same price as the 256GB model. That's a discount of $200 compared to the regular $1,499.99 list price for the 512GB model. On top of that, Amazon includes a $200 gift card, bringing the total savings to $400. All color options for the Galaxy S26 Ultra include the free storage upgrade.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus and S26 free storage upgrade deals

Similar to the Ultra model, Amazon is also offering free storage upgrades for the Galaxy S26 Plus and Galaxy S26. The Galaxy S26 Plus 512GB can be preordered for $1,099.99 and includes a $100 Amazon gift card, bringing total savings to $300. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 512GB model is available at the same $899.99 price as the 256GB version and also includes a $100 gift card.

With that being said, Best Buy is matching Amazon's free storage upgrade preorder offers for the Galaxy S26 series, but it does not currently include gift cards.
