Overview
- Amazon listings in multiple markets show steep discounts on recent Samsung flagships, including the Galaxy S25+ offered at about $700 in the U.S. and the Galaxy S26 Ultra 12GB/256GB listed at Rs 1,24,999 in India.
- The discounted S25+ listing is for an unlocked unit with Samsung’s standard one-year warranty and retains flagship hardware such as the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a 50MP main sensor, on-device Galaxy AI features, and a 4,900mAh battery.
- The S26 Ultra listing reflects a roughly Rs 14,901 cut from launch price and the phone keeps high-end specs including the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 5,000mAh battery with 60W wired charging, and a multi-sensor camera array with a 200MP primary and 50MP periscope.
- Reports note these are retailer listings that can vary by color, storage, market, or promotional period and that the markdowns appear tied to normal product-cycle retail promotions rather than a permanent price change from Samsung.
- For buyers this lowers the cost of flagship-level hardware and AI camera features, and it could push more shoppers toward current-generation models while prompting other retailers to match or extend promo pricing.
