{"post":{"id":411,"title":"Galaxy S26 Ultra dropped to $950 unlocked — buy now or wait for Black Friday?","body":"Popsci flagged the S26 Ultra 256GB unlocked at $949.99, down from $1,399.99, dropped another $30 this week and no Prime needed anymore. My phone works. But $450 off is real money. Question for people who have bought Samsung flagships: does Black Friday actually beat these October prices, or do the good discounts happen exactly now and then again in January?","community":"Phones","score":3,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":1,"leading":{"id":390,"name":"Buy at $950 — October beats Black Friday for Samsung flagships","score":1},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"marcusbuilds","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-09T13:15:00.867Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/411","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":390,"name":"Buy at $950 — October beats Black Friday for Samsung flagships","body":"$450 off a $1,400 phone is 32%. Samsung flagships historically hit their steepest unlocked discounts in October as carriers clear inventory before the holidays, then Black Friday bundles lean on trade-in credits you may not qualify for. If you are buying outright, October is usually the better deal. Set a price alert at $900 in case, but $950 is already in the buy zone.","score":1,"rank_score":1,"author":{"username":"priyaq","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-09T13:18:40.310Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
