Well, knowing the general specs for a while there is nothing really exciting as far as features to make the new phone that exciting.

Spec bump here and there but for the most part not anything major different from last years and at the end of the day will basically run the same as the older gen unless your phone is really really old.

I went from S23U to ZF7 with new processor, 200 MP camera and after a few months went back to my S23U and for most part felt the same going to the ZF7 and went back to S23U never said, boy I miss the performance difference of the ZF7.

Leaked videos of the S26U not really showing anything exciting. Might be better off getting better deal getting a S25U for almost nothing than a S26U.

I have a S24ultra that is working great. There was nothing that interested me in the S25 ultra and now the S26ULTRA with minor upgrades, no BT spen and the deals are not that great this year looks like I will be waiting to upgrade till S27 ultra next year

I'm thinking the same.

My s24U is not giving me any problems. Maybe the s27 line might offer something new & innovative. Maybe something without the term AI attached to it.

It depends on the bottom line for 512gb. I like what I see in the S26 Ultra, and I enjoy the annual party here, but at this point, if Samsung trims all the fat with freebies and add-ons, I'll keep my S25U and wait on Pixel 11 Pro - the big one.

I bought an iPhone 17 Pro that I hate. I sold my Pixel 10 Pro that I loved, and now I just want a new phone.

For me its down to what Samsung give for trade in. I'm always up for new tech and although the S26 Ultra is not a big upgrade over the S25 Ultra it still has a few little things up its sleeve.

This year may be a different upgrade path for me, I usually go direct to Samsung but this year I have the option of a great deal via another retailer with a big discount so its all about which is cheapest overall (including selling freebies)

See you members after pre-order. Please post any deals you guys score.

I'll be ordering, I always get the latest ultra models on preorder

Most likely will...our S23 Ultras have weak batteries and likely this is last chance for decent trade ins on them. Going to wstch Unpacked event and decide.

I'm upset cause I haveclocclocclinto work at 1pm. Not sure iif I'll be able t sneak and watch with an earbud in or not. But I want to have my tablet open in the break room ready for pre-order. I am waiting for the Samsung Guru link for the free mystery box and I need to use Rakuten also fo cash back. I googled and it said pre-orders may open up at the beginning or could be at the end. What is it usually?

 

[Dualmonitors]

when does samsung.com have the S26 Ultra up for ordering?

during unpacked? before it is even over? or only once unpacked is over?

Very weak trade-in amounts on the Samsung site. Definitely not going with Samsung.com this year.

 

[sulla1965]

$900 for S25 ultra is very good. You can't sell a used s25 ultra for that price.

 

[Dualmonitors]

pre-ordered. white, unlocked. done.

60 watt charger. 5A cable. Buds4 Pro (no Buds3 Pro trade-in offered!)

256gb for me then

 

[azdmelani]

Ordered purple 256gb and a case. Thought the $30 credit was awful this year and no big bargains for trade ins. Ended up with a case.

Not 100% sure about the phone but let's see
