Samsung’s latest Galaxy Unpacked is taking place this month on February 25. The event, which is likely to set the stage for the brand’s new S26 series smartphones (and potentially more), will take place in San Francisco, California, at 10 AM Pacific Time. Well in advance of Unpacked, Samsung has given consumers a way of earning some extra goodies through its early reservation program. Consumers can reserve the bonus rewards by entering their name and email address; mobile number is optional.

Register at Samsung and get extra bonuses with your pre order (S26 and more expected)

Offers differ by region, so we can see how the UK and US compare below. Both major markets have pre-order bonuses as part of the early reserve (or register) program. American customers will get $30 store credit when they pre-order one of the latest Galaxy devices, while British customers will be able to double their storage for free – something we’ve seen in the past from Samsung. The tech giant hasn’t specifically said it will be revealing the S26 series, only referring to “our new AI phone”.

• Samsung Galaxy Unpacked – US reserve offer
  • $30 Samsung credit during pre-order
  • Up to $900 additional savings
  • A chance to win $5,000 Samsung store credit
• Samsung Galaxy Unpacked – UK register offer
  • £30 voucher to spend on Galaxy products
  • A chance to win a £500 voucher (10 are being given out in total)
  • Get a 512GB storage model for the price of 256GB when pre-ordering

For a limited time, reserve the latest Galaxy device(s) on samsung.com or in the Shop Samsung App and receive a $30 Samsung Credit (“Reservation Gift”) when you pre-order and purchase the latest Smartphone device (“Qualifying Smartphone”) or latest Wearable device (“Qualifying Wearable”)

The details surrounding the reservation gift above seem to suggest Samsung is ready to announce a new smartphone and new wearable tech, such as a new Galaxy Watch. However, specifics are yet to be confirmed.

As for the big $900 of “additional savings,” it should be clarified that this promotion relates to Samsung’s trade-in program. The offer will be available for a limited time and is eligible as part of the pre-order process when you “send in your qualifying trade-in device to Samsung through the Samsung Trade-In Program”. This applies to any qualifying Galaxy device, not just smartphones.
