Upcoming Unpacked Event

Samsung’s next Unpacked event is scheduled for February 25. The company is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 lineup, and there may also be announcements for new wearables and earbuds. In addition to hardware, Galaxy AI software is likely to be a major focus of the show, as highlighted in the Unpacked sizzle reel.

Trade‑in Perks for Pre‑orders

If you register interest in a pre‑order before the event and complete a purchase afterward, Samsung offers special trade‑in incentives:

• $30 credit (use‑it‑or‑lose‑it) that can be applied toward accessories at pre‑order. This credit cannot be used to reduce the price of the new device.
• Up to $900 trade‑in value for your old phone when you pre‑order one of the new phones in the same transaction. This is higher than the current maximum trade‑in value of $700 for an S24 Ultra.

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for the trade‑in credit, your old phone must meet Samsung’s eligibility criteria, which include—but are not limited to—the following:

• The device must be in good working condition without damage beyond normal wear‑and‑tear.
• All other standard trade‑in conditions outlined on Samsung’s website apply.

The anticipated trade‑in value will be applied automatically at checkout. Even if you decide not to trade in your phone, it may be worthwhile to visit Samsung’s site once pre‑orders open to explore the offered incentives.
