Who's Ordering The S26

[mustang7757]

The Forums are up for s26

 

[phone-a-holic]

It's time. I will be upgrading from S24

Let's go! Thank you for putting this forum together mods.

Still have my Note 10 (regular size, not the plus)!

I would love to get the S26 Ultra. I prefer normal size phones but I use the s-pen too much so no choice if I want to upgrade.
Annoyed that they didn't bring back the s-pen bluetooth functionality as I use that a lot when I travel but not a deal breaker.

Depending on the price difference, I may get the S25 Ultra instead.

I guess the first step is to sign in to the Samsung Reserve to at least get the $30 credit if I/you decide to order through Samsung?

Up to $900 additional savings* sounds a little low but depends on what phones they will give $900 for trade-in eh? I still have my S22U, S23U, iPhone 15 to trade. I don't think I'll trade my ZF7 yet.

Will have to see what the carriers will offer.

For thought...
AT&T will still give me $1000 trade on my S22U towards a S25U. $1100 towards a iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Samsung site will only give me $210 for my S22U ($350 for my S23U)

I'd like to go with a 26U but to get rid of my 22U for $1000 for a 25U is an option.

Oh yes.

 

[BerryBubbles]

Wow!
They cut the reservation credit to 30.00? I guess I haven't been paying attention....

What was it before?

 

[BerryBubbles]

What was it before?

The last one I received was 50.00 when I bought my s24 Ultra. I think it was also a 50.00 reservation credit for my s22 Ultra.

It's only a 20.00 difference , but it surprised me.

They are getting more and more stingy.

Yes, they are chipping away at all the discounts.

our fearless leader @mustang7757 is back! wonder if he'll get the S26 Ultra?

last year, i remember distinctly that he "threatened" to NOT get the S25 Ultra but he caved, haha! eventually, he got persuaded and he ended up getting it.

wonder what he'll do this year!

Depends on the trade-in I do like the privacy screen u can do without a screen protector version but I'm not liking aluminum build compared to the s25u titanium, we see.

So Sad it is what it is but just thought i let yall know

@mustang7757

how big can the differences be between aluminum and titanium please, considering that it's only that little frame around the outermost edge of the phone? it's not that much metal there, right? just thinking out loud. Thx.

I only can share my experience after handling S24U and S25U after previous phones with aluminum frame. The titanium frame makes the S25U feel more premium. It also handles drops better. But aluminum has better heat dissipation.

Titanium is more durable I think also lighter and definitely a premium feel

I've really been enjoying the ZF7 but I may be compelled to trade it in. I miss the camera from my S25 at times but the folded open option for browsing at home etc.is something I use very often. If the price is right I'm sure I will go for it

 

[Dualmonitors]

i'm wondering (not at all doubting) how one can feel the difference between aluminum and titanium besides the weight?

you know, they are both cool to the touch and metal.

just curious.

Try to handle both and you will feel the difference .
