Overview
- Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, held Tuesday and Wednesday, offered up to $420 off the Galaxy S26 family and put the S26 Ultra at about $979, well below its raised retail price.
- In India, marketplace promotions cut the Galaxy S25 to about Rs 60,999 and listed the S25 Ultra near Rs 99,999 after large flat discounts and bank/exchange offers.
- The sales covered more than the S‑series: foldables and tablets hit record lows, for example the Z Fold8 Ultra dropped to roughly $1,699 and the Tab S11 to about $659 on Amazon.
- Many top prices require specific conditions such as an active Amazon Prime subscription, timed trade‑in credits, or bank-card promotions, and retailers warn the offers run only for the sale window.
- Those steep, short-term cuts come after Samsung raised recommended retail prices earlier in 2026 because rising memory and component costs increased manufacturing expense, which makes future deep discounts less likely.
