Amazon has the 256GB Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra on sale for $919.99 (usually $1,099.99) for Prime Day, a significant discount for a phone that released just a few months ago in March. The S26 Ultra has a set of four rear cameras for excellent photos, a refined design that’s comfortable to use, and a built-in privacy screen you can customize and toggle.
One of the S26 Ultra’s standout features is the Privacy Display, a feature that you can enable on the fly to limit off-angle viewing, similar to some screen protectors. You can also set it to cover just notifications, in case you want to show a friend a video without worrying they’ll see a sensitive (or embarrassing) text. While it does mute the colors slightly, more so for the notifications, it’s worth it to keep an unsuspecting stranger on the bus from having the Wordle spoiled.
On top of that, it has all of the upgraded components you’d want from a smartphone that’s almost $1,000, with 256GB of internal storage, 12GB of memory, and fast charging up to 60W with a compatible charger. The S26 Ultra notably lacks a Qi2 magnet, so you may want to pick up a case that includes one, but it does have a spot to stow the included S Pen stylus.
