You can argue back and forth all day long about what’s better, Apple or Android. You won’t get anywhere with those conversations because the answer almost always comes down to “whichever phone you’re already used to is better.” Though, coming from an Apple person, there is something I loved that Samsung does way better than Apple: names. Apple is onto the iPhone 17 now which is kind of ridiculous to be sticking with that numbering scheme. Samsung on the other hand? 2026’s model is the S26. Simply. Easy. The number is the year. It’s so easy.
On that note, that makes it obvious to know what the latest phone is. For Samsung, it’s the S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. If you didn’t pick your up back in the Winter when it first launched, you’re now being reward for your patience. Amazon has the phones now on sale, ranging from $100 to $200 off for a limited time. You can now snag the Galaxy S26 for as low as $800, the Galaxy S26+ for as low as $900, and the S26 Ultra for as low as $1,100.

New to the S26 Lineup
This year’s upgrade to Samsung’s lineup of its flagship Galaxy phones is on the modest side with the S26. Battery life and even the processor remain the same as found among the S25 family. Storage configurations are the same with the exception of a slight change to the 1TB option on the S26 Ultra. This model has now gotten a memory boost to 16GB of RAM.
