Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra and S26 Ultra are getting major price cuts during the Amazon Great Freedom Sale. While the S25 Ultra is available for under Rs 1 lakh, the newer S26 Ultra is also selling at a significant discount.Amazon Freedom sale makes Galaxy S25 Ultra and S26 Ultra easier to buyAmazon's Great Freedom Sale has brought some of Samsung's most expensive smartphones into a much more tempting price range. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is now available with a total discount of up to Rs 40,000, while the newer Galaxy S26 Ultra is also selling below its original launch price. For anyone planning to buy a premium Android phone, the offers make the choice more interesting. The S25 Ultra is significantly cheaper, while the S26 Ultra brings newer hardware and some meaningful upgrades. Here is what the two deals actually offer.Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra gets up to Rs 40,000 discountThe Galaxy S25 Ultra is currently listed on Amazon at Rs 94,999 during the Great Freedom Sale. The phone originally launched in India at Rs 1,29,999, which means the current price represents a flat Rs 35,000 reduction.There is another Rs 5,000 instant discount available when customers use an eligible bank credit card. If the bank offer applies to your purchase, the effective saving can therefore reach Rs 40,000.The important part is that the Rs 35,000 reduction is already available without depending on a bank offer. That makes the S25 Ultra particularly attractive for buyers who want a high-end Samsung phone but do not want to spend more than Rs 1 lakh. The S25 Ultra still has plenty going for it. It offers a large premium display, powerful flagship hardware, S Pen support and a versatile camera setup. For someone upgrading from an older premium smartphone, it can still feel like a major step up.Galaxy S26 Ultra is also cheaperThe newer Galaxy S26 Ultra, meanwhile, is listed at Rs 1,24,999 on Amazon. Its launch price was Rs 1,39,999, so buyers are getting a flat Rs 15,000 discount. Amazon is also advertising an additional discount of up to Rs 15,345 when customers choose the No Cost EMI option. However, the exact benefit can depend on the payment method and eligibility, so shoppers should check the final amount before placing the order.Even without that additional offer, Rs 1,24,999 is a notable price for a relatively new Samsung flagship. The S26 Ultra brings a faster processor, faster charging and improvements to its camera system compared with the previous generation.One of its more interesting additions is Privacy Display, which is designed to make the screen harder for people sitting nearby to view. For users who regularly use their phones in crowded places, this could be a more practical upgrade than a simple specification bump.S25 Ultra or S26 Ultra: which one should you buy?This is where the price difference becomes important. At Rs 94,999, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the obvious choice for buyers who want to keep spending below Rs 1 lakh. The phone still delivers the flagship experience and the potential Rs 40,000 saving makes the deal particularly difficult to ignore.The Galaxy S26 Ultra makes more sense if money is less of a concern and you specifically want Samsung’s latest Ultra model. You get newer hardware, faster charging, camera improvements and features such as Privacy Display.There is also a third option: waiting.Samsung is expected to eventually introduce the Galaxy S27 Ultra, and leaks have pointed to several possible upgrades, including a larger 5,200mAh to 5,500mAh battery with silicon-carbon technology, a 16-megapixel selfie camera, an upgraded 200-megapixel primary camera and redesigned 50-megapixel ultra-wide and telephoto cameras.The next Ultra model is also rumoured to use a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro for Galaxy chip and could introduce a new “Polar ID” authentication feature. However, these are leaks and rumours at this stage, rather than confirmed specifications. Some previously reported upgrades, such as LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage, are also now said to have been dropped.So, if you need a premium Samsung phone right now, the S25 Ultra at Rs 94,999 is arguably the most compelling deal of the two. If you want the latest model and can spend more, the S26 Ultra is the better pick. And if your current phone is still doing the job, waiting for the S27 Ultra could be worth considering.- EndsPublished By: Ankita GargPublished On: Aug 10, 2026 19:04 IST
