Amazon's Galaxy S26 Ultra deal has already sold out — now this promotion at Samsung is clearly the best for unlocked devices

Unlocked Galaxy S26 buyers, I have bad news for you. One of the best deals for unlocked devices specifically has sold out - the free storage upgrade and $200 gift card that Amazon was giving away with the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Fear not, however, because Samsung's own deal is still available on this stunning device, and in some cases, it's actually the stronger deal.

The promotion in question is your choice between a trade-in rebate of up to $900 off or $150 of store credit on the house. The trade-in discount here is particularly strong, and currently the biggest saving you'll find anywhere if you're looking for an unlocked device specifically.

And, there are other reasons to consider Samsung, too. There are two exclusive colors to consider this week - the subtle Silver Shadow and classy Pink Gold. If you were one of the few who happened to sign up for the reservation campaign a few weeks ago, you'll also get $30 of store credit in addition - a handy little bonus that can be used for a free case or discounts on smartwatches and earbuds.

Looking for an unlocked device? Look no further than Samsung's excellent opening deal on the Galaxy S26 series. Available right now is an impressive trade-in rebate of up to $900 off — a discount that can result in a seriously cheap phone. Alternatively, if you're not looking to trade, then you can instead get up to $150 in store credit today. That's a very handy little bonus for cheap accessories on the side.

As of writing, you have six days left to secure a Galaxy S26 preorder before the devices are officially released. While Samsung and other retailers will have some form of deals still available, it's likely that they won't be quite as strong as those initially offered in the preorders phase. Subsequently, it could be worth jumping on a device early if you're looking to squeeze as much value out as possible with one of these new flagships.
