> 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?

> Buy at $950 — October beats Black Friday for Samsung flagships

> $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.
