Samsung has just launched preorders for the new Galaxy S26 Ultra. Samsung has long been regarded alongside Apple as one of the top premium smartphone manufacturers on the market. A lot of great Samsung Galaxy phones have been made available over the last year, and this latest addition to the company's lineup appears to be no exception.

The phone is 7.9mm thick, weighs 214g, and has a 6.9-inch display. It's powered by a custom, AI-enhanced processor with integrated NPU, GPU, and CPU that promises to be 19% faster than previous generations. Additionally, it has a 200 MP wide F1.4 lens that Samsung promises "delivers clear and detailed videos even in low-light environments with a wider aperture for 47% improved brightness." Samsung also stated that the phone's battery can keep the screen going for up to 31 hours of constant video playback and that it can achieve a 75% recharge after just half an hour on the charger. On top of that, the phone's pièce de résistance is its brand-new Privacy Display. This makes it so people can't peek over your shoulder to see what's on your phone, as looking at the device from an angle will make the screen appear dark and unviewable. You can even specify whether it's the whole screen, specific apps, or notifications that are blocked from would-be snoops.

Add this onto the already existing Samsung Galaxy S26 features that make the line hard to beat, and it's easy to see why fans of the brand are excited about this particular model. But there are a few things you might want to know about it, like: How much does this thing cost? And where can you get one?

The Samsung Galaxy 26 Ultra hasn't been released just yet. It was unveiled on February 25, 2026, and it's set to launch on March 11. That said, it's currently available for preorder on the Samsung website. There is a 256GB version for $1,299.99, a 512GB version for $1,499.99, and a 1TB version that goes for $1,799.99. Samsung is also offering a trade-in deal that allows you to get up to $900 off with eligible devices. These are available in unlocked, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T network configurations, and you can get them in four standard colors: Cobalt Blue, Sky Blue, White, and Black. There are also two online exclusive colors: Silver Shadow and Pinkgold.

If you're looking to get the phone from somewhere other than Samsung itself, there are a few other retailers that offer incentives of their own. Amazon is currently selling preorders that include a version of the phone with upgraded storage at lower-tier prices while also including an Amazon gift card. Best Buy has a similar storage-upgraded model on sale and also offers up to $900 of trade-in value for qualifying devices. Meanwhile, carriers like T-Mobile and Verizon each have separate deals where you can get massive discounts when you sign up for one of their plans.
