Right now, the new hotness is the Google Pixel 11 series, which was just unveiled. Those on the lookout for a high-end Android flagship, though, might also want to consider Mint Mobile's current promotion on the also-excellent Samsung Galaxy S26 series.
Right now, the carrier is offering a compelling $500 discount upfront on Samsung's latest range of flagships, alongside an additional trade-in rebate of up to $400. It's rare to see such a discount at a prepaid carrier on any device, let alone on one of the most popular flagships of the year.
The only caveat here is that you need a new plan, but even that's not a huge downside in my opinion. Mint is throwing in a full year of unlimited data for just $180 upfront, which is half price. That averages out to just $15/mo, so you're not only saving on your phone here, but also getting a really great deal on a new line.
Mint Mobile's excellent Galaxy S26 deal
Will the Google Pixel 11 also be available at Mint Mobile?
Almost certainly. Mint Mobile usually stocks Google devices alongside Samsung, with similar discounts on the Pixel 10 series in recent months. Right now, the older devices are sold out at the carrier, so there's nothing to compare these Galaxy S26 deals to.
We'll probably see the Google Pixel 11 series pop up at Mint Mobile in the next few weeks after the initial preorders phase has passed. We'll have to wait and see if Google's new devices get similar deals to those featured on the Galaxy S26 series, but I imagine the deals won't be quite as strong, given the age of the phones.
