Mint Mobile Offers Up to $500 Off New Android Phones With a Year-Long Plan
US budget carrier Mint Mobile is running a limited-time promotion of up to $500 off several new Android phones for new customers who sign up for a 12-month unlimited plan costing $180.
Mint Mobile, a budget mobile carrier in the United States, is offering a limited-time discount of up to $500 on several new Android smartphones, including the Google Pixel 11 and Samsung Galaxy S26 lines. The promotion targets people switching providers at a time when phone prices keep climbing, according to technology outlet Wired.
Conditions
The offer is open only to new customers who buy a 12-month unlimited plan for $180, or $15 a month. The full amount is due up front, and taxes and fees are extra. Speeds are throttled after 50 GB per month, and 20 GB is included for hotspot use. Apple's iPhones are not part of the deal.
Customers who trade in an eligible unlocked phone, such as an iPhone 16 or newer, Galaxy S25 or newer, or Pixel 10 or newer, can receive an additional credit of $400 or more.
Prices
The Google Pixel 11 costs $399 (regularly $899), or $579 including the plan, before taxes and fees. The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL are $594 and $794 (normally $1,099 and $1,299).
The Samsung Galaxy S26 is $500 (regularly $1,000), the S26+ is $700 (regularly $1,200), and the S26 Ultra is $900 (regularly $1,400). The foldable Galaxy Z Fold8 is $1,700, against a regular price of $1,900.
The Motorola Razr (2026) is $520, which is $180 off, while the Moto G Play is $80 instead of $250.
Wired notes that Mint rarely runs deals because its plans already cost less than those of traditional carriers, and buyers pay full price for the handset. Even so, it says the offer is still cheaper than phone promotions from the big carriers.
