We are moving towards the second half of 2026, when Samsung will focus its attention on Z-foldables. Meanwhile, the S26 series has received some significant price cuts.
We start with the Samsung Galaxy S26. The base model – which finally has 256GB of storage instead of 128GB – is discounted by €165. There is an option to upgrade up to 512GB, which also includes a discount voucher. All three S26 phones follow the same pattern – straight discount for the 256GB model, discount + voucher for the 512GB model.
The Samsung Galaxy S26+ has had a huge price cut, especially for the 512GB variant – it’s €500 off and there’s a small voucher on top of that. Now, we can argue whether the S26+ 512GB was ever worth €1,450 (that’s the MSRP), but it’s safe to say that a price under €1,000 is more attractive.
Then there’s the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra – there’s a bigger discount for the 256GB version compared to the 512GB version (which has seen a cumulative price cut of €300).
If you’re having trouble choosing between the three, you can turn to our vs articles:
Not only this. Last week, we reported on the price drop of the Apple iPhone Air – the 256GB model was down to €890. The same phone is now €40 cheaper. However, the price of the 512GB model remains the same as last week.
The Air is very thin and light thanks to its 6.5” display, but the Apple iPhone 17 is smaller and narrower due to its smaller 6.3” display. Which one do you like? Well, take your pick – the 256GB versions of both are priced the same at the moment. We have an article that compares the iPhone 17 with last year’s iPhone 16 and the current iPhone 17 Pro. The iPhone 17 was the best-selling phone in Q1, just like the iPhone 16 was last year – so many people can’t be wrong.
If you’re looking for a cheap iPhone, the Apple iPhone 17e is it – well, at least when measured on Apple’s scale. And with a €50 discount it’s now a little cheaper. The smaller 6.1″ screen has a nasty-looking notch and the sole camera on the back isn’t ideal. However, you get the same Apple A19 chipset with 8GB of RAM as the iPhone 17 and essentially the same battery life.
