Who is waiting for the S26 Ultra?

[Dualmonitors]

It looks like the reservation date is on February 11th. No storage upgrade but some markets may get 60W charger. Wondering what the trade-in values will be this time.

@kide#WN

May i ask where you saw that please?

What does reservation date mean? This is well before the Unpacked, so reservation date doesn't equal order date?

Thank you in advance.

thank you all for your input/info re: when i need to send in my trade in phone after receiving the S26 Ultra.

gosh, that means that while i do have just enough time (roughly 6 days after i get back home, i have to send my S25 Ultra back as trade in), i can't waste any time right after i return. must start the Smart Switch data transfer right away and get the S26 Ultra up and running quickly so i can ascertain whether it is a working phone or it has issues.

thank you all again!

When you get back just call Samsung and ask for an extension on the return date. I did that once and was given an additional two weeks on the return date.

I was wondering the same thing! I saw about the 60W charger. I bought some duo 60W off woot 2 for 25. I didn't need duo and it's only 30 and 30 that way but I liked the price but prefer the one Samsung is giving away. We use these braided long cables for our phones now and with a 45W brick it does SFC 2.0 do I'm guessing I can use the same cables.

You can reserve about 2 weeks before release day and get extra discount at Samsung.com.

It looks like the reservation is now live in the US. I just got an email to reserve next Galaxy. Only $30 reservation discount this year. Yeah, all good deals probably in the past. Not sure how good trade-in values will be. No "free" memory upgrade option.

Reservation page is live on the Samsung site.

How soon until we get an S26 forum going?

I was wondering the same thing about the S26 page. So I reserved it used to be $50 more it's $30. But will pre ordering get you the free charger we were reading about? I was wanting the buds pro 4 also hoping their discounted with the phone. I have a pair for trade in also. So the sooner you pre order after the show or does it go by who reserves that gets theirs the soonest?

Good point but to be fair the Chinese variants just started doing this and Samsung/Google/Apple playing it safe for now until further findings before just putting bigger battery just for spec wars , 5000mah isn't bad but I'm sure in time it will get there just need more patience.

 

[EazyD33]

So is it a safe assumption that, based on the reservation page, trade-ins will start at $900?

Or does it mean it'll max out at $900?

After losing billions in that note event, they're playing it safe.

I get it bro , but I'll stick with the other phones way better, not disrespecting Samsung, but not just cause of battery it's just the same phone look like over and over , Very boring to me , so that is why I'll never ever buy another Samsung phone.

Also i prefer Oxygen OS from OneUI way better In my book Oxygen OS, but everyone has different preferences so respect to that.
I compared OneUI my S24 Ultra to my Oppo Find X9 Pro and OnePlus 13 and Oxygen OS is just way better smoother no lag at all, now OneUI it's a bit slower and can occasionally have a glitch lag.

How much can they change in the looks, I feel they can only do so much, that's why foldable and trifold are in the market to change it up a little.

I do like Oxygen OS and always have but Samsung OS at the moment is my favorite.
