Deal overview
Save up to $900 with an eligible instant trade‑in
Samsung’s latest Galaxy Unpacked event introduced the new Galaxy S26 Ultra. Customers who pre‑order the phone from Samsung’s online store can receive a credit of up to $900 when they trade in an eligible device, or opt for $150 Samsung Credit if they have nothing to trade.
The pre‑order starts at $1,299.99 for the 256 GB model, and the trade‑in discount is applied directly to the final price. This limited‑time offer lasts only about a week, so act quickly.
Eligibility requirements
To qualify for the trade‑in credit, the device must meet the following conditions (checkable in the “Samsung Trade‑in” section on the store page):
- Device turns on and the screen works normally
- Activation locks are disabled, accounts removed, and the device is factory‑reset
- Charging port functions and the battery holds a charge
- Screen, body (front and back), and camera lens are free of cracks
- The device is not on Samsung’s banned list
Alternative: $150 Samsung Credit
If you don’t have an eligible device to trade in, you can still receive $150 Samsung Credit toward accessories such as earbuds, watches, tablets, select accessories, or Samsung Care+ packages when you pre‑order.
Hands‑on impression
Mashable’s Amanda Yeo got an early look at the Galaxy S26 Ultra and highlighted the new Privacy Display. She noted:
“Found it remarkably effective — particularly its Maximum mode. Activating the Privacy display made the S26 Ultra’s screen appear noticeably darker when viewed from wide angles, rendering it more difficult to read if not facing it head‑on.”
