Amazon is selling the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in black with 256GB of storage for $949.99, a reduction from its standard price of $1,399.99. The discount positions the device as the most affordable option in the current lineup during the Prime Day period.

The S26 Ultra is distinguished by its adjustable privacy display, a feature exclusive to this model within the Galaxy S26 series. This technology allows users to conceal either the entire screen or specific sections from onlookers. The function does not significantly impact screen performance, with visual changes becoming apparent only at steep viewing angles.

Beyond the privacy screen, the device retains the built-in S Pen for writing and drawing. The camera system has been upgraded to include dual telephoto lenses alongside a 200-megapixel main sensor. These hardware improvements yield noticeable benefits in photo quality, particularly in low-light conditions.

The phone features a 6.9-inch AMOLED display. While it remains a sizable device, it is slimmer and more comfortable than the previous generation, the S25 Ultra.

Other retailers offer different pricing structures for the same storage capacity. Best Buy lists the 256GB model at $1,079.99, down from $1,299.99. For buyers seeking higher storage, Amazon offers the 512GB variant for $1,279.99, reduced from its usual $1,499.99 price.
