The Samsung Galaxy S26+ (256GB) is currently $890 on Amazon – that’s a bit lower than we’ve seen it at for the past few weeks and $200+ off on a phone that’s less than three months old is a solid discount. That said, the 2026 model doesn’t bring many updates over its predecessor – there’s the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and the slightly faster wireless charging (20W vs. 15W,... Read more ›
