The Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus has hit record-low prices on Amazon and the timing couldn’t be better if you’ve been on the fence. Every color of the 256GB model is down to $900, that’s $200 off the original $1,100 price tag. If you want more storage, the 512GB Cobalt Violet is down to $993, a steep drop from its regular $1,300 and also a record low.
Launched in March, the latest Plus model sits comfortably between the base Galaxy S26 and the elite Galaxy S26 Ultra. It comes with Android 16 OS, a 6.7-inch dynamic AMOLED 2X ultra-vivid display and a refresh rate up to 120Hz. We don’t know how long these low prices will last, so snag one before prices climb back up.
The latest model also comes with an improved Snapdragon processor that boosts performance, as well as advanced Galaxy AI that helps you handle daily tasks more easily and efficiently. AI-powered tools like Photo Assist can help you tweak photos, remove objects and sharpen details in seconds without needing any extra apps.
Camera-wise, the 50-megapixel sensor delivers excellent picture quality and the wider front camera ensures better selfies with your friends. The S26 Plus has a 4,900-mAh battery similar to its predecessor, the S25 Plus. However, an optimized, faster processor now delivers better battery life, including, according to Samsung, 31 hours of video playback.
