Samsung Galaxy S26 pre order bonuses

Several pre-order bonuses have been made apparent, both through Samsung’s official channels and leaked information. Samsung will be running its ‘double the storage on us’ offer again with the S26 series, just like it did with last year’s slimline S25 Edge. This means the 512GB variant of any of the three models will cost the same as the 256GB, essentially meaning there’s no reason to buy the smaller storage variant when you pre order. Best Buy will be running the same offer.

On Amazon, you can get 15% off the new Buds4 Pro with your purchase, too, or grab a free Amazon Gift Card worth. The popular retailer is also running the double storage promotion, so you can grab a 512GB model with no additional cost compared to the 256GB when you pre-order.

In addition, a trade-in promotion will be available at the official Samsung Store. This means customers will be able to trade in their existing tech – smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch – to cut down the price of a brand-new Galaxy S26 device. Samsung says there are up to $900 savings to be made with everything taken into account when pre-ordering, including $30 store credit as standard.

Has Samsung announced the S26 smartphones?

Yes, Samsung announced the S26 series at Galaxy Unpacked on February 25, 2026. The company was remaining relatively secretive ahead of the event – sometimes referring to “our new AI phone” in official channels. Despite that, plenty of leaks and information surfacing online ahead of Unpacked revealed much of what needed to be known, and the presentation confirmed it.
