Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming in a few weeks, but if you've been eyeing the Galaxy S26 for a while, you might not have to wait for the event. Over at Mint Mobile, for instance, you can now get the high-end flagship for a significantly lower price. In fact, you're looking at $500 in savings over here.

$500 off (42%)

Samsung's Galaxy S26 can now be yours for $500 off its original price through T-Mobile's Mint. The device also arrives with a 50% discount on Mint's 12-month unlimited plan, plus you can also save an extra $400+ when you trade in an eligible phone in good working condition.

Now, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, the promo is exclusive to the 512GB variant, which normally costs $1,200. Second of all, since this is a carrier promo, you'd need to get a mobile plan with your Samsung phone. Also, being a prepaid carrier, Mint will require you to pay the full 12 months of service when you order the phone.

On the bright side, the discount doesn't end at $500. You also get 50% off Mint's unlimited mobile plan, landing it at just $180 from its original price of $360. On top of all that, you can save an extra $400+ when you trade in an eligible device in good working condition.

In other words, you can get a new Galaxy S26 with 12 months of unlimited T-Mobile data in tow for just $880 or as low as $480 if you trade in the right device.

The Galaxy S26 features a 6.3-inch OLED display with a smooth and fluid 120Hz refresh rate, delivering gorgeous visuals. You're also getting a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 performance (though not in all regions), ensuring top-grade performance with everything from light browsing to heavy multitasking.

You can find out more about this device and whether it's the right one for you in our Galaxy S26 review. But the bottom line is this: the device packs excellent value for money, so now that it can be yours for a hefty $500 off, it's much easier to recommend.

Get a free Galaxy A17 with Straight Talk. To claim this deal, you need to pair the phone with activation on a Silver Unlimited Plan or higher. This tier costs $45 per month. Offer valid through 01/10/27 while supplies last online.
