Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra price drops $250 for Memorial Day

Samsung has introduced a significant Memorial Day discount for its Galaxy S26 Ultra, offering $250 off and bringing the price to $1,049.99. This new promotion surpasses the previous year's discount for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, despite ongoing challenges from the memory chip crisis. While some promotional elements like Samsung Care Plus and app-specific discounts are absent, the improved headline price and trade-in values indicate Samsung's strategy to concentrate deals on major shopping holidays.
